Got one coin I misplaced this morning..... an 1809 half cent, one I paid $5 for, that I was literally raging over, thinking I was being sent a sign not to deal in half cents again, as I believe to have lost an 1825 (wasn't in my room when my mom helped me clean it out), one which I guarantee is on the bottom of one of my drawers that hasn't been touched in 6 months.

I do know a place, though - that's Lost Creek back in Eastern Kentucky. They haven't found it yet after all those years.

 

Maybe a "Moonshiner" will find it someday?

 

You never know, maybe Mark and Digger will.

That Lost Creek joke is courtesy of my dad, who says he got it from my grandpa. Truth be known, the story probably originated from either my great-grandfather or possibly my great-great-grandfather.

 

There are so many coins already, that I know I have forgotten. It might take me a while, but I usually find the coins I am missing.
You should check the couch thoroughly.

 

I had this one set aside in a manila envelope attempting to get some color back after it had been dipped by a previous owner. I now haven't a clue where it is.

 

But there's no couch in this padded room.

 

I lost an Apollo gold commemorative. I had my knee replaced shortly after the Apollo commems were released. The first week was spent in my easy chair on a steady diet of opiates. I had my most recent purchases on a side table to enjoy during my lucid moments…. After I recovered the gold commemorative was missing…… Not a clue what may have happened.

 

I have a Standing Liberty Quarter I found detecting, my only one, but can't find it. I think she walked back home. No pic.

 

Technically, not lost anymore because I found it today! It's nothing fantastic, but my only "BIE" penny.

 

Lost? Stolen? My complete set of Silver War Nickels was on display in a specialty holder. The holder was next to my computer in 1987.
My 19 times convicted felon nephew was visiting. All the same I still look for them on occasion. James

 

As I'm now starting to inventory my collection into my software (277 coins entered so far!), I'm realizing that I have a number of missing coins from my old paper lists. Over the decades, I may have sold them on ebay, or given them away as contest prizes, or something. I have no idea. But, the disturbing part is that I apparently had some decent slabbed coins, that I cannot find. I can't imagine what I did with them - maybe they're stuffed in a box somewhere???? Don't have pics of the ones I don't have. Sorry.

 

Check a bathroom, near a shower. Moisture helps the re-toning, doesn't it?

 

Tear that easy chair apart!!!

 

Oh I did. More than once!

 

I managed to lose a GSA Carson City silver dollar which I bought during the sales of the early 1970's.

I noticed the coin missing in the early 1980's although I still have the GSA certificates and cardboard box.

I don't know the date of the coin as the coin was one of the lower grade uncirculated ones where the certificate did not state the date.

The GSA certificates that came with the silver dollar:


GSA Certificate 1


GSA Certificate 2

 

Recheck the envelope. It may have retoned so much that it blends in.

All I find in my truck and my wife's car is trash, and food trash at that. I suppose that's life with a 14 year old, huh? At least my truck is far cleaner than my wife's car, so that's a win in and of itself, I suppose!
