    Wow!

    Excellent. That means it was a great purchase!

    Yep, the lie would be necessary for that one! >:)

    Really, really nice coin.

    I would not call it a lie...it's more of an "exaggeration"...in my mind anyway.

    Oh crap! The picture finally loaded...way to go Pinocchio!

    good job and nice coin. enjoy it

  • BryceMBryceM Posts: 11,893 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Oh, what a nice type coin. A little beauty like this is on my list too, even if she'll most likely be down the ladder a few rungs. Nice surfaces. Nothing distracting.

    Wow!! That is one gorgeous coin!!

    Call it a "white lie". Wives just don't get it sometimes. Call it an investment, that's a Whopper, as I suspect you will never sell it.

    If she asks what it costs just tell her it's only a cent.

    The key is to answer a different question but let her believe you are answering the one she asked. :p

    In this case I used the 10% rule. Quoted 10% of the actual price so the number I used is easy to remember when she asks me again in the future. If she paints me into a corner, anything from Burberry usually ends the interrogation.

    Very nice. Luckily I have a wife that says if we can afford it, and it was a good deal, then she is happy.
