I've been cutting back on the CRH'ing because I've been getting skunked left and right. I'm still waiting on a response to see if I can retrieve my coin filled time capsule. No luck there yet. My only success has been the nice girls at a small local bank in Georgetown. They've supplied a handful of nice coins and a couple tiny pieces of gold. That source hasn't yielded anything in a couple weeks. It's been tough going lately.
My wife has tolerated my bank runs and buckets of coins. We even spent an hour digging through a coin dealers lots at the local antique mart. Last week we looked up a coin shop and went to pick up a couple silver eagles ($34 each) for presents. The shop owner showed us coins and explained the different coins for about an hour.
During this time I made sure to make it known that I wanted one of the smaller gold coins, maybe a $2.5 Indian. I was throwing hints left and right for good present ideas. So, naturally I was excited to open presents tonight because I knew I was going to get something special. Check out what I got!
It gets worse. I also got a cat in a box that steals my coins. She said I can let the cat guard some of my coins!
My wife was super excited because the guy at the antique shop said the coins were special silver coins that I was sure to need for my collection. He even sold them for a special holiday price. I simply don't have the heart to tell her the truth, and I don't have the stomach to ask what she paid...
I hope ya'll had better luck than I did! If you didn't, then please post to make me feel better. Haha, happy hunting and merry Xmas!
