    What makes you think she's pointing to a coin? Not that my imagination runs wild, of course.

    I stopped collecting wives after the first one. They're waaaaay to expensive on the up-keep and even more expensive to get rid of. image

    She does have sort of a Billy Idol-esque look going on in the picture.

    I believe husband and wife coin collectors work just about as well as husband and wife golfers.

    Yes, my wife is very involved. I collect coins and she constantly says things like, "How much did you pay for that?" and "What do you need that for?"

    But she permits it because I call it an investment. We moved to CA for 2 years and she repeatedly told me I was the stupidest man on earth to buy a house for just two years.

    That is until I showed her the check where we cleared $100,000 profit on the house sale.

    See the big grin on the guys face? He's thinking "I'll buy this coin and she'll never be the wiser." image

    I've known a few husband-wife numismatic teams. Like anything else, the trick is to share and interest without being mutually competitive about it. In the academic arena, Victor and Elvira Clain-Stefanelli’s at the Smithsonian were a dedicated partnership with each focused on a different aspect of numismatics. Among dealers, I fondly remember Frank and Laurese Katen. They maintained a true partnership in their business and enjoyed individual pleasures outside of the office. Frank used to call her is “help-mate” and she once commented that “he could use the help, too!”

    (My own soon-to-be-ex has no interest and has never expressed anything except confusion that anyone would write about something as useless as coin collecting.)

    Does Airplanenut have a girlfriend?


    edited to add: My husband just thinks I'm a geek...I try the 'investment' thing with him, but he knows better.
