Be honest, have you ever lost any of your coins?

I lost my 1851 VF 30 half cent. I must have accidently thrown it away with a bunch of old scrap card board cut outs.

 

I had bought my wife a 1700's copper depicting William and Mary (since she went to school at that college) as a gift to try and get her interested in coins. It cost me about $60. Sometime while moving to a new house it got lost. I swear she threw it out because she didn't care and she swears I sold it to buy myself more coins that I wanted.

 

Oh, yes! I also lost my 1 ounce gold maple leaf Canadian coin at The Olive Garden restaurant in 2002 when it fell out of my pocket. By the time I noticed it missing, I was too late. Oh, well, I probably made the table cleaner a very happy person. Ha, ha!

 

DANG!

 

That sounds really sad that your sister and brother would cheat you out of your mother's estate. You probably don't have anything to do with them, anymore.

 

Yep...

I would ground my son until my coins show up.

 

Though I didn't inadvertently lose these coins, I did sell a load of them way back when I found myself short of money one awful month. Looking back, I could have asked my parents to cover for me, but I had never asked them for money, so I sold coins instead and never had any more problems. Hopefully that will last. Sadly, I did sell some nice pieces and I miss them. I consider them "lost." So goes existence.

 

You've got that right!

I just found my 1944 Spain. On the bottom of the container i put everything in.

None of my coins have ever been misplaced for more than a few minutes, luckily.

Hey, buddy, that's called conservation!

 

yes, I did, and it hurts too much to talk about it.

 

Just last month I lost 2 ms65 morgans I had bought for gifts and can't find them anywhere. One of the most aggrivating things ever looking for them. I think someone must have misplaced them when I had them sitting out.

 

I can't say for sure. I used to have so much stuff and my tracking was not the best. I know I sold stuff not in my inventory and had stuff in inventory I was sure I sold. Boy was I glad when I narrowed the collection down a whole lot.

 

You're are welcome to say as you wish.

 

Yes, 2 of them, and I found both many years later when I moved.

 

I can read so much more into that post then a couple lost proofs... Mega money in the family and you got cheated out of your birth right by people you are related too. So many families fight over money.... I don't know you at all, but really hate to see something like this... Freakin Money...
I bet a book could be made about the experience from your side and from their side. Their side : He lived with mom forever ! and used up all the money, he doesn't deserve a dime
Your side : They were never around until mom died, then they took it all...
That is hypothetical of course... many movies with this angle... of course they end with someone shot and someone going to jail for 100 years..

Sorry you lost your coins... Bet they found them...

 

Those greedy SOB's can say whatever they want, but the truth of the matter is that a few months before Mom passed, she said to me in front of her art friends that she decided to change her will and give me sole possession of the house. With the new addition that I paid for in 2001, it was now 9,200sf. I told Mom not to change her will because it wouldn't be fair to the other kids. Ain't that a kick in the arse?
