Back in 2004 she took a $10 gold piece that I had bought back in 1999 for $1,000 and went with me to a large coin show in the region. She brought it over to a dealer (who had a large amount of similar gold in his case) and asked for an estimate of how much she could get for it. When he quoted her $1,700, she hasn't questioned a coin purchase of mine ever since.
Jim's wife must have a similar view of coin value retention versus an AR-15!

Have a Colt AR myself. Lots of fun to mow down small trees.
You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

i emptied so fast my bro thought it jammed, cool shooting these things.
I have had one for years. I love it. By the way, my wife would side on coins over guns any day.

with a tac trigger or what ever those crappy cranks are called, what a waste of ammo.
Gotta love those rm chair commandos.
even in combat, my M-4 is on semi-auto 99% of the time.

<< <i>My wife the former Marine would've went for the AR-15 with a companion M-16 (she carries a ruger P-89 .40 cal. with her everywhere >>
My P-89 Ruger is a 9 mil. It's my favorite handgun by far. The P-95 is a close second.
If I told the GF I was going to buy a new assault rifle, she'd tell me to buy two. One for her.
If I said I was buying an expensive coin, she'd tell me to buy gold bullion instead.
She loves the feel of gold bullion, even more than gold jewelry.

I think we are more of a don't ask don't tell situation.
She told me: "You are such a nerd! It's Friday night and you are talking about coins online."
"Hey!" I said. "It could be worse - would you rather I be in here looking at porn?"
Without missing a beat, my wife just smirked and said "Heh - that'd be cheeper."
