<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3205210, member: 46237&quot;]Nonsense. Every coin started out in someone&#039;s custody, so for a coin to be newly discovered, it must first be lost. So what is a lost coin? Simply put, it is a coin that either falls into a state where nobody has custody, or where the coin is technically in someone&#039;s custody but nobody is aware of it. When a coin in one of those situations is found, it&#039;s a newly discovered coin. This <i>obviously </i>happens all the time. It&#039;s just that the coins discovered are largely unremarkable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a couple months ago I was doing renovations on the kitchen in my home (it was built in &#039;64). The room was completely gutted down to the studs. Well beneath the old subfloor was a stack of uncirculated 1964 silver Washington quarters as well as half a dozen lightly circulated older dates. <b>These are newly discovered coins. I don&#039;t have enough fingers to count them.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
