<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sholom, post: 3516075, member: 17753&quot;]I have the opposite story (but hopefully it hasn&#039;t ended yet).&nbsp; Around 50 years ago, my mother gave me a US trade dollar.&nbsp; It was in decent condition, except for a few serious dings.&nbsp; It was in a small plastic flat box (2x2), and that went into one of our moving boxes, loose.&nbsp; That was 20 years ago this month!&nbsp; I think it was from the 1870&#039;s, and I think it was a CC-mint.&nbsp; It was put into a box that had pretty much 100% miscellaneous stuff that we knew we didn&#039;t need, and so we never got around to unpacking it.</p><p><br /></p><p>After moving, I went through all the boxes quickly, didn&#039;t find it, and then moved on to boxes that we needed to unpack.&nbsp; The rest of the boxes got put into our garage.&nbsp; <i>And they are still sitting there.</i>&nbsp; Some day, when I have time, I&#039;ll go through them to look for it.&nbsp; (Problem is: I&#039;ve been thinking &quot;some day when I have time&quot; for 20 years!).&nbsp; But, now the kids are out of the house, and I think I might have time this July.&nbsp; (Maybe if I put it on my calendar . . . !)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
