Haven’t been avoiding you, just been a little busy with coins. Coins? you wonder. Yes, coins.
I’ve gone a really long time without flipping out and buying something that went from $28. to $265. in less time than it took to give my credit card number to a nice young lady that I ended up, I hate to say it, but gushing to, “Well, thank you so much for helping me out there.” No doubt the young girl thought I was a coin short in the piggy bank myself, but, oh well.
“Who are you talking to?” My husband loudly interrupts as I’m squeaking by with the expiration date, talking quickly and assuredly, as if I’m coming around the final lap of a race. I’m relieved somewhat that my credit card will expire seven years before my last coin shipment. Make that shipments. I ordered a set from Philadelphia Mint and another one from wherever the other Mint place is? I don’t know, but you can see there are two different pictures (as pointed out to me by the young lady over the phone) so whichever Mint races ahead of the other, I guess, becomes the most valuable, I have no clue what I’m talking about there. I guess it’s like two chances.
I started Aaron a coin collection once. I think he was more interested in the value of the coin “then” so that tells me we started a little late. Weston will be getting one of these for his birthday in August and he will get a new coin every three months until 2016, or as you see above, every 96 days.
And I guess Kayla can inherit mine, should she want them.
So Greg is still not happy (and I too realize the dollar leap I took here) but he at least knows what a great deal we’re getting. I went and turned on the bedroom light and made him hear about our coins. “I’d never spend three hundred dollars without talking to you first,” he said. I tried to explain how I never would either. “I just called for twenty-eight dollars….”
I’m still trying to understand myself. It was all those years of coins I added on. I’m not quite sure why I did that. Maybe it’s that “whole collection of” kind of thing. I know I ordered two sets because of the whole “code” thing. “My husband gets the magazine too; can I get his code so he can get a set?” My mind is racing with how many sets one might possibly need. Would Mom want a set? Semper Fi Mom…? My gosh, THINK, girl! Pressure mounted, Greg’s voice was no longer, I began to find my wits.
I settled for two different sets with coins coming until 2016. I’ll be 61. Mmmhh. I put one set for $28. on my debit card, then added the other coins (which should probably be worth more than what I’ve paid for them), so I had to switch to my credit card! I kid you not.
Who let me out of my cage? Please. Are there any real coin collectors out there willing to tell me I did the right thing? Burkean? I mean, come on. How often do you have any cash? Debit card is all I ever use. It’s my philosophy that the price has to increase.
But anyway, anyone can use the code. You just have to be in before the deadline.
Hello?

I don't know enough about coins to tell if you did the right thing or not. :( We have been collecting the state quarters for the kids, but more for fun than anything else.
