I absolutely plan to post a photo! Finding it is a whole 'nother story!!

About 20 years ago my grandfather gave me a 1790-something cent (I think it was 1796). I was not super into coins at the time, but I thought this one was really cool. I stashed it in my home office desk drawer.

Since then we have moved about 7 or 8 times. As recently as three moves and six years ago, I knew where that cent was. But now I don't. Plausibly it is in one of the great stacks of boxes we cannot unpack because we have continuously downsized our living space.

 

Speaking of getting old...here's a story about the opposite side of the coin--a coin that I have no clue where it came from.

This is a thread that I posted over on the PCGS forum when it happened to me several years ago.

By the way, I still have the coin and I STILL don't have a clue where it came from.

 

If your conscious is bothering you I'll give you an address you can send it to.
