That&#039;s very funny <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mine is embarrassing on a couple of levels. First is the fact that I lost an entire display and series of silver. I don&#039;t even remember exactly what it was that I lost, other than where it was from. And that leads me to the second part of the embarrassing act. The series was from the Franklin Mint. I was young and stupid. So sue me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is, they were I believe a presidential medal series. All over 1 troy oz, actual weight was 1 troy oz of silver. So the fact that there was zero numismatic value isn&#039;t important. There were I believe 35 medals (I could be wrong on that count). That means 35 ozs of silver, albeit melt value, is gone missing. I bought the series, one per month, back in the mid 80&#039;s. So melt today would be $800+.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife and I moved 5 times in our first 7 years of marriage. So those medals could be anywhere. I don&#039;t even recall the last time I saw them, let alone when they went missing.</p><p><br /></p><p>So all you folks that fess up to losing a coin or two or three, HA! I went for the full Monty and misplaced 35 medals/ozs!!! Talk about a dim bulb, 51 cards short of a full deck, the lights are on but nobody&#039;s home. You name it. That&#039;s me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Carry on......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
