Hi all

Recently i helped a disabled lady out sorted out her house..hell it was a mess...she liked cats yuck..lol
Decorated some rooms etc.. any way at the end she gave me a set of coins,they are a boxed set of 1995 Civil War Commemorative coins (prestige set) 7 coins in all.
I checked them out on the internet and to buy them you would have to pay over $300. two dealers wanted to give $200 over the phone.
I went back to the lady yesterday and explained that they were worth a lot ,and that perhaps she was not aware of the value...she looked at me with a little smile and said "iam well aware of their value". there a gift.
I must admitt i do feel a lot better about going to see her...honesty is very often the best policy.
The problem now is how do i keep the value from SWMBO the cash would be handy at the moment have my eye on a few models ...lol lol ..what prat said "honesty is the best policy"


Cheers Chris
