The 2014 film "A Good Marriage" is based on the 2010 novel of the same title written by Stephen King who also wrote the screenplay for the film. Bob and Darcy Anderson have been married for 25 years and live in Maine. They have two grown children, a son Donnie, and a daughter Petra, who is about to be married. Bob works as an accountant and runs a small rare coin business on the side. One day Darcy goes into the garage to look for something and finds a small box with cards belonging to several women who were murdered by a serial killer named "Beadie" and realizes that the killer is her husband. Various coins and numismatic related items appear throughout the film including a 1955 "doubled-die" or "double-die" mint error Lincoln cent. Some coin magazines also appear.

Bob and Darcy Anderson have been married for 25 years and are holding an anniversary party at a restaurant.

Bob gives Darcy a small gift.

The gift is a pair of gold earrings in the shape of tropical fish. The gift will become significant later. Bob has worked for a company for a long time as an accountant. The company president also gives him a present.

These toilet covers with embedded coins are really manufactured for coin collectors. The party ends and the couple head for home and bed.

Bob's life goal since he was 14 years old is to find in circulation a special Lincoln cent mint error coin known as the 1955 "doubled-die" or "double-die" cent, of which around 20,000 were minted and accidently released to the public. They are worth a lot of money to collectors.

A photograph of the obverse of the double-die cent. Bob sometimes leaves notes to his wife about her liking for candy, especially Tootsie Rolls.

Bob has left a note to his wife on their company notepad. The header states:

The note to the wife reads: "Ask yourself if you really need one... You've put on a pound or three lately. Love, Bob."

One day the husband is on a business trip and Darcy is watching television when the changer stops. She heads to the garage to get new batteries. She moves something and finds some magazines.

The top magazine is a "bondage" magazine and must belong to her husband. Darcy also finds a small box labeled "Links."

She opens the box.

Darcy finds drivers licenses and cards with names on them. She recognizes one of the names from a television news story about a serial killer who calls himself "Beadie" in letters he has sent to law enforcement agencies. She heads for the computer and looks up the names.

She finds that all of the cards that she has found match up to Beadie's victims. She also finds that the gold fish earrings that Bob gave her came from one of the victims. Darcy then waits for her husband to return. She heads for the Tootsie Rolls.

Next to the candy pieces is a large coin which might be a New Orleans Mardi Gras "doubloon."

Darcy then looks at some wall decorations which include a US Mint Proof Set of regular coins and another proof set with four US Presidential dollars. Bob returns home and has learned about his wife's discoveries.

Bob starts with making insulting remarks about his wife's intelligence and tells her that he had hacked into her email accounts years ago. He tells her that in high school he had a friend named Brian Delahanty who did not like his name and called himself "Beadie" for "B and D." Bob and Beadie were insulted by two pretty high school girls and Beadie suggested that he and Bob kill the girls. Beadie was killed in a car accident before the planned killings. Bob continues his story stating that "voices" have been telling him to kill women. He reminds her that if she goes to the police the resulting publicity will wreck their childrens' lives. Darcy agrees to keep quiet.

A few days later Bob examines some coins.

Bob continues his search for the 1955 double-die cent. One day Bob is working under his car.

Bob wears a shirt which has "Main Rare" and a Morgan silver dollar, apparently the name of a Maine coin store which deals in the coins. Darcy looks at the jack holding the car up and considers releasing it. Later, at a party, Bob talks to his wife.

Bob informs Darcy that he has finally found one.

Bob has finally found a 1955 double-die cent in circulation.

Back at home, Bob climbs the stairs to bring some drinks to Darcy in the bedroom.

Darcy surprises him.

Darcy makes sure and then calls the police who report the death as an accident.

Darcy throws the gold fish earrings into the grave. An elderly man has appeared a few times and now visits the widow Darcy.

The man introduces himself as Mr. Holt Ramsay, a retired detective who has been privately investigating the Beadie murders and has been led to Bob Anderson. Holt tells Darcy that he does not have much evidence but also suspects that she killed Bob. Holt goes back to his car and collapses and a neighbor calls for an ambulance. Darcy visits Holt at a hospital where it is obvious that he is dying. She shows him the the 1955 cent.

Mr. Ramsay says that his eyesight must be bad as the date looks wobbly.

He tells Darcy that "You did the right thing."

Darcy reads a coin magazine. She can now eat as many Tootsie Rolls as she wants.
