Maybe you should consider sacrificing a goat or something?

Steve, I also hope it shows up somewhere in your house....

 

Oooow, a goat ... nice, I never thought about that trick!

Man, if only the envelope wasn't tied to that new goat that I just bought ...

 

I'm thinking your wife found the envelope and hid it. Now she's waiting to see how long it takes for you to crack.

 

Hey, I did already think about that ... well played (you've obviously been through a few deceptive relationships, eh JA?)



Oh, and I sure hope that's the ticket ... but I will allow that game to play-out until the end of time (I was gonna leave the coins to her anyway, so there is no benefit of me tipping my cards in that scenario, my crafty coin-friend!!)

 

Yeah Steve that has to suck. Look in your truck under & between the seats the door pockets.
I've not "lost" a coin before, misplaced several and found them in the damndest places.
I not long ago found a box of SBA's from my modern days that I guess I forgot I had. They're SBA's though, really nobody wants those.

 

That sucks, I gave you a "like" in sympathy. Call the Post Orifice and see if you left it there.

You guys may remember how I had a coin stolen from my PO Box at the USPS earlier this year. I felt like I was kicked in the stomach when I realized what had happened. :-(

I also lost a Terina stater somehow that I have owned for decades...could not find it when I went to shoot new photos.

Checked my bank box...under all the car seats...under the couch cushions...made the cat throw up multiple times. Nothing. All I have left is a crummy scanner photo from the 90s. :-(



Good luck Steve, don't stop looking while the trail is still warm.

Thanks Theo ... I'm OCD, so unfortunately I've been looking between, on and under every possible nook and cranny (this may actually be the death of me!!)

"he never was quite the same => edgy, and always on the lookout"

 

Seriously check the post office in person.

 

Not coins but I have found lost items in the strangest places. Places you would never think of. You said you already looked in the refrigerator. That's the kind of place I mean. Our brains make us do some strange things.

 

uh-oh => I hope I didn't put them "there"

 

He is northern Manitoba... his Post Office is probably in Arkansas somewhere...

 

We actually have a nice Post Office equipped with awesome Granny Bait coins and everything => it's a winner

 

Still bummed that I lost a Genoa denaro (never took photos of it) that I personally cleaned up a bit. I even remember what color paper 2x2 it was in. One day I will take a couple hours out of my day to tear my house apart to look for it.

 

I found these two coins in a garbage bag once. I had been cleaning my desk and accidentally threw out a letter. The next day while searching for the letter through the trash bags in the dumpster behind my office, I discovered these two in the same bag, which I had also thrown out in their 2x2 flips in what I can only assume was a moment of cheer stupidity. Had it not been for me looking for the letter, I would have lost these two coins and never found them again.

I no longer keep coins at my office.

Vologases III

 

Whoa---wow... Nice save. Holy cow!

 

Did your wife know you bought the coins? Did you, by chance, exceed any agreed-upon budget with these purchases? If so, I'm betting she is holding on to them for punishment.

 

Yeah, I spotted the Vologases III first, and I went into panic mode. I searched every bit of the bag and found the other coin, plus the letter I was looking for.

I assume I wasn't paying much attention while cleaning my desk the previous evening. It was a long day and I was tired and in a hurry to get home. Things just happened and I didn't even notice.

Back then I used to take a few coins to the office with me for the week to play around with when I needed to clear my mind. I've no longer done that since then.

 

TIF => I sure hope so ... but I doubt it

=> my awesome wife prefers the full-frontal Triceratops attack (the Raptor is not her style)

 

Rats.

It's bad when we're rooting for your wife to have pulled something sneaky, isn't it?

I hope your coins turn up.
