[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 26045710, member: 10461"]On the opposite end of the spectrum, there’s the unexpectedly [I]found[/I] coins amongst one’s clutter. This happens to me periodically. I’ll rediscover something I forgot I even owned. I refer to this phenomenon as “cherrypicking one’s self”. One time, several years back, I was cleaning out my [I]car[/I] and found a VG 1875-S US 20-cent piece! I had no recollection of ever buying it or anything. If the car had actually been a time machine freshly returned from the 19th century, I don’t think the coin would’ve been in a flip. So I had to have bought it somehow. Finding that was like finding a $100 bill in the car, though even more mysterious and fun. Sometimes the Universe takes stuff away, and sometimes it gives stuff back, in little random windfalls like that.[/QUOTE]
