Here are the 4 coins my wife bought me for our anniversary (These are the sellers photos. I have all but the half dime in hand already.)

So is my wife the best wife on the planet? I told her she was


1913 MPL PR64BN
- from Charmy http://www.thepennylady.com

NOTE: I had wanted a nice example of an MPL for a while and this one is very nice for the grade with tons of color!




1889 PR67 3CN CAC from
- from Legend http://www.legendcoin.com/cgi-bin/inventory/main.pl

NOTE: The "hairline" on the right side of the reverse is on the slab




1872 PR65 Seated Half
- from Northeast Numismatics http://www.northeastcoin.com/index.jsp

NOTE: The coin is very nice in hand but you have to really bend the light to get the colors to show like the seller's pictures. The coin is very nice, but not the monster the pictures imply




1868 H10C PCGS PR 67 #1723 Eliasberg CAC
- from Larry Shapiro http://www.lsrarecoins.com

NOTE: My wife timed her purchase of this with Larry Shapiro sending it off to "Stacks", and he was nice enough to still let her have it. Thanks a ton to Larry Shapiro!

Absolute very nice, I was looking at a 3 cent piece this weekend, no buy for me...

remember she will be expecting double the very nice for her B'Day.

Your seated half hurts it is so nice........ perfect eye appeal.

As I said on that one: It's a very nice coin, but in hand it takes angling toward the light "just right" to see all those colors.

You are one lucky person. My wife wouldn't bring me home a roll of pennies if I gave her the 50 cents.

Funny you should mention this. My wife said afterward that "Charmy was the most helpful and easy to deal with."

Hey Barry, nice coins!!!!. The high grade rarities are the best coins to enjoy, and you're lucky to have a wife that appreciates your appreciation of the finer things in life.

Charmy is really easy to work with. She also remembers who you are.

Those are some nice coins. Nice to see that your wife is supportive of your hobby.

Whoa...fantastic! As the coins are mostly silver can I assume this is your 25th? Or does she treat you to high grade slabs as a matter of routine?

really nice gift. thoughtful as well. Especially like that 1889 PR67 3CN CAC.

It was our 7th anniversary, which is "copper". All the coins contain some copper

Nice gifts! But the real question is, does this count against your "barry will not buy coins" contest?

Congratulations. Truly an exceptional gift from the heart of woman who understands who you are and what your desires are. You are truly blessed with a great woman.

My wife has in our 30 years of marriage has never given me anything that nice. She just complains about how much I spend on a box of halves. I tell her I didn't spend anything as I still have the same amount of money I did before I came home with the box of halves. She did help me search halves and dimes last night.

It does not. My wife has a totally separate budget She always has a buffer, I always have a deficit

I think I would have cried.

Takes my breath away.

You owe her a tennis bracelet or lunch in Paris.

Did she pick them out herself?

Whad did you get her?

I gave her a list that she selected them from

My gift was a calendar with several trips and special events that I paid for, including a month long family trip and 5 week long ones So she actually said that I outdid her with generosity

your wife has excellent taste
