    I was looking for an item I couldn't find in my safe or coin boxes and finaly decided/figured my cat must have knocked it behind my desk. Sure enough when i pulled out the desk, there it was sitting on top of this opened/discarded shipping envelope (I save the good/reusable ones.. Not kidding when i say im cheap lol) anyhoo... almost just chucked it but it had a bit of weight to it. Holy crap!!! I forgot I had these (almost) They were put in that envelope as some of them were to head to NGC for grading but I hadn't decided which.. I knew I had a nice 37 dime and half dime somewhere lol.

    1893-o barber quarter
    1854 silver 3 cent trime

    So you lost more early dimes and half dimes than I have? First world problems. :)

    You’re having Christmas early this year! Glad you found them. As my mother always said, growing old is the hardest thing I’ve had to do. She was tight but so was too young to believe her. I do now. Glad you found them. :)

    I hate to admit this but somewhere in the house is a holed and badly abused 1/2 disme... Though I know where it was dropped and "not found" so it's most likely resting place is under the bookshelf beside my desk and as it is bolted to the wall it may be many years before I can check under it for that piece lol
