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:



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.

well, look at it this way
you if get the penny
you are more than halfway to the complete set .  ....

if you don't get it then you have a nice silvers set

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?

not sure if the slush fund explanation is even more hilarious

well done

Fulvio

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