    If any of my female friends (or ex wives) saw this, they'd tell each other and it would get back to your wife, and you'd be in the DOGHOUSE. Have you seen the videos of "the Dog House" ? image

    It's not a US coin. It's really almost not a coin. It is the first time I've ever bought directly from the Perth Mint, and it's the first time I've ever bought a (gasp!) colorized coin. (I feel like I'm in confession...)

    However, a couple of very close friends are Disney freaks (though admittedly I'm pretty high on the scale myself), so this seemed to be a no-brainer. And it's really not a coin, it's a Christmas ornament, right?

    My wife told me I didn't need to get her anything for Christmas...that she has taken care of it. I'm trying to work out if I'm being set-up.

    My wife actually expressed interest in ancient coins, so I got her a very nice one in XF/AU, Maximus, or someone like that, 235-238 AD.

    Knowing what I know about collecting now, it will be fun to build a small collection for her.

    I like shiny metal objects. She likes different shiny metal objects.

    In the past I've bought her antique maps, books, fossils, which she does enjoy. This year went with shiny things.

    Be sure to ask her if she needs more in the account. That ought to brighten up her smile.

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
