Title: Should I Buy this or Not?
Post by: markn on October 23, 2013, 07:48:31 PM
So I am still slavering over my 1902 set of Great Britain silver coins and PPH finds this in the coins she's listing up for the Purple Penny:

(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/great-britain-1902-half-penny-ms65rb.jpg)

And waves it under my nose and says sweetly that I should buy it because it would look so good in my 1902 set.  Of course if I did buy it then I'd need to find a 1902 penny and a 1902 farthing and a 1902 1/3 farthing and perhaps even a  1902 half sov, sov, and  1902B trade dollar.  

So should I buy it or not?

You shouldn't have to buy it.
PP should just give it to you with a big kiss :ok:

PPH is a nice girl.  But when it comes to PP coins I buy them or it's hands off.  Doesn't matter how much I flutter my eyes at her.

I caved and bought it.  Hilarious thing is when I said I wanted it she said she'd pay for it out of some secret slush fund she's accumulated trading in pork bellies or cocaine or something.  Who am I to look at gift half penny in the mouth?

That slush fund probably came out of your pocket anyway, in one way or another. ;)
