Coin collecting has always been something I did in my spare time. It was MY hobby. Over the years I've been able to get the kids to help me sort thru rolls and we would all talk and laugh at the kitchen table, and get excited with every wheat or IH someone would find. But recently, over this past year, my wife has joined in to help me search thru rolls. I basically gave her a cheat sheet, a lamp and a couple of loupes. We talk and I look at everything she thinks is "something" with 99% of is being a hit or DDD. However, this time shared together has turned into a hobby shared together and instead of once a month searching together, we look at a few rolls everynight, whenever possible. We got home late last night and she asked if we had any rolls to look thru and said no. Well, she made me go out and find some..
. She said she would go thru withdrawals if she didn't have a roll to search thru. She's addicted and I'm the junkie who got her started. I found 2 rolls at krogers at 9pm last night and she pulled a really nice 2000 WAM out of it. She finished, smiled and went to bed. Over the last couple of months of her joining me in the hunt she has found 4 2011 DDO-004's, 2 WAMs, a 1988 RDV-006, and her very own new discovery, the 1972D-1DO-005. I told her she should join the forum herself and jump in with her own finds, experiences, questions etc. So, the way i see it is that I'm winning all around in everyway. I get to be with the love of my life, I get to search for varieties at the same time AND she's finding good stuff adding to (it's now turned into OUR collection).
Picked up some rolls this morning and tonight.....a cozy evening, just her and I.....under the lamp and scope, with our rolls.....how romantic.
