The coin that you have wanted forever, and your spouse threatens to leave you, if you get it.

Saw a nice one on Ebay, tonight. a cool $30,000.
(It helps that I'm not married.
Final cost --$40,000 (I kept coins)
End result --Priceless
My grandchildren. The heirs to my collection! (Just not to soon I hope)

If you happen to share info about your collection while the marriage is happy, she may try to take everything she can legally from you during the divorce. I don't blame the ex wife, I blame the attorney's and the relatives and friends who make the ex's do things they generally would not do.
My divorce just ended in October. It took just over 19 months to get divorced for a marriage that lasted 35 months. We have no children and it lasted this long.
Remember the saying " Buyer Beware".

I have been married for 27 years and my wife is enthusiastic about my coin collecting even if she has never really gotten involved in the hobby. She shares my passion for photography for example and for reading and a number of other things. I know that may not be the case for all but I am speaking for myself and not for all.
I really do wonder what sort of quality relationship there could be between a husband and a wife if "possessing/owning" a coin (I assume rare) could bring divorce into the picture.
Settlements and break-ups are frequently acrimonious because of the "supporters" of the splitting parties as allmancoins rightly said. Attorneys have a money based interest. Friends and family apply a code of rules based on a form of orthodoxy in feelings that only exists in their imagination. Bashing the other party in words, deeds and behavior is very often thought to be a way of demonstrating one's loyalty.

Lighten up, bro.
However, there are some coins (like 1872 Amazonian Patterns) that would probably CAUSE a divorce if I bought them.
(For some strange reason she thinks that it is more important to have a roof over our head and food on the table than to have a really cool set of coins!)
Besides.... if you get divorced because you are buying that special coin... guess what? Your soon to be ex spouse knows about that coin and how much it is worth. Think you will be keeping it for long? Good luck!! In divorces.... spouses usually get 50% of assets....... you may be losing more than that one coin.

Well Mark, you need to be looking a single lady who HAS a $4 Stella and wants to get married!

Now that you put it that way...
