[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3104878, member: 10461"]So, remember this Constantine I campgate that was the subject of a [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/constantine-i-campgate-gif.316631/']recent thread[/URL], when I was playing around with animated GIFs? [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/20180517_050257_1-gif.777240/[/IMG] [SIZE=3] (Seasick yet? Sorry.)[/SIZE] Well, that was on May 18th or thereabouts. That coin and two others were supposed to be part of my end of a swap with [USER=82194]@dadams[/USER]. One of the others was this exceedingly tiny gold fanam. [IMG]https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/d7v3GHodRnGj2lC1dtCe_20180211_180027.jpg[/IMG] So I went into my safe deposit box around May 22, to get this stuff ready to ship. Found the first coin (a Trajan Decius ant). Then I found the fanam ... but it [I]slipped right out of the tiny gap at the bend in the flip [/I]and was ... GONE! Totally [I]vanished![/I] I spent half an hour searching, and the thing was nowhere to be found. Finally gave up in despair. I had heard it hit the counter *tick!* and that was it. Poof- GONE. So then I went to look for the Constantine campgate. [I]It too was GONE ... nowhere to be found!!! [/I] I didn't even get a chance to drop that one! [I]Out of three coins I owed Doug Adams, I had lost TWO of them![/I] A day later, around May 23, I went into the little red box I keep my swapstock in, and took out all the coins, searching for the Constantine with increasingly frantic anxiety, as that was the best of the three coins I owed Doug in the swap. I didn't find it. I [I]did[/I], however, find the tiny, escaped fanam, which fortunately had bounced off the counter and landed [I]back inside the box[/I], nestling itself beneath some of the other coins in 2x2s. *[I]whew[/I]* But the Constantine campgate remained missing, and I never found it. I finally had to pay Doug for that (missing) portion of my end of the swap. He was gracious about it - we're good friends - but he was no doubt disappointed, and I was embarrassed. Weeks passed ...
