[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2402485, member: 20480"]I once lost a rather expensive coin . . . I cannot recall what it was, but it cost me several thousand dollars. I practically tore the house down to the ground searching for it. My family thought I'd gone completely nuts, racing from one place to the next, then standing perfectly still, trying to retrace my steps, searching the trash, racing around some more. Perhaps I was nuts . . . temporarily, at least. After about 3 hours of searching, and another couple of fretting, I finally settled down, and went about my usual business, having decided it must be somewhere in the house, and would eventually surface. Not long afterward, I got up from my desk, and the coin emerged from under the seat of my office chair. It had fallen on the chair, slid down between the back of the seat pad and the bottom of the back pad, landed on the sheet metal spine that joins the two, and slid out of sight. I probably put on a few miles trying to find a coin that had gone less than 18 inches from where it started.[/QUOTE]
