Visited with Mother-in-Law yesterday and started discussing old coins, to make a long story short, she brought out a bag that had some weight to it. When I opened it and dumped it on the table, there were 52 Kennedy halves twenty of which were bicentennial(no silver), a 42 wheatie, a 45s war nickle, and a 40d nickle, and an Eisenhower silver dollar. She told me I could have them if I wanted them. DUH!!! I did give her thirty dollars paper in trade.LOL. Thanks for reading.

Why did you pay more for the coins than they are worth?

52 halves = $26
Eisenhower = $1
Penny = worth about 2-5 cents
Silver Nickel = 71 cents or so
Other Nickel = 5 cents

Maybe $28 worth max...

Not necessarily true in this case...

If you are spending money on something that is not for the wife, then the wife might be unhappy.

Brian,
Maybe Frosty was giving her $30 as a nice gesture between family members? If the coins are worth $28 max as you say, then giving her $30 really isn't a big deal is it?
I'm thinking maybe Frosty is a generous guy and not worried about making a buck off his mother-in-law?

Congrats on the coins Frosty.

Thanks, Doug, as I'm the "only" son-in-law, she calls me her "Fav-or-ite" son-in-law and I call her my "Fav-or-ite" mother-in-law. She's almost 80 and we get along great.
Brian, everything's cool, no offense taken. Thanks for the replies and HH guys.
