Dont ja just love when you misplace something

Only $30 before fees, but it's just jumping on my last nerve.

Last thing I want to image tonight.

About 18 proof dimes. I was going going to hold back the pointed 64's and list the remainder at melt.

What is the longest you lost something? Anything major?

I lost a P01 Hawaiian. It was in a small box of heavily worn classic commems. Lost it about fifteen years ago.

The one thing that sticks out in my mind is I lost my wallet years ago when I was a kid and found it about ten years later while cleaning under the basement steps covered in dust and dirt. It was pretty cool finding it again with a few bucks in it!!

I had a raw 1914-d Lincoln go missing for about 5 years when it turned up in a junk drawer.
Still waiting for a half dozen raw Franklins to show up.

Hydrant

I lost the key to the back gate down at the lower end of the ranch years ago. Never have found it. Cut the chain off with an acetylene torch last Thursday. Now there's kids racing around on motorcycles down there and some family is having a Sunday picnic. Little Hydrant Joey says to call the police. I say I need a new lock.

Worse is when you think you lost something and later figure out later that a FORMER friend of yours stole it.

I have told this story before... but when I relocated from Seattle to NYS, somehow lost my $5 1909 gold Indian. For two years +.....Then one day, while looking for some old ammo in one box that had been sealed since the move.... There it was.... No idea how it got there.... Just really happy to have found it. Cheers, RickO

I lost a PCGS blue box containing my toned Lincoln PR collection from 1936 to 1958. I feared that I might have temporarily have hid in the trash can instead of putting it back in the safe. Went missing over a year until I found it one day in a shoe box in my hidden closet. Nothing like feeling like a total idiot for over a year........

I lost this one in a move. My other half found it for me a few years later along with some NASA certificates. I still don't know where they were but teamwork is great!

Never lost a coin for more than a few minutes, but in the 60's I bought at a store closeout that was going out of business, two knives a case xx two blade yellow handle and a Puma Hunter's Pal hunting/skinning knife for under $10 a piece. Never used them but they mysteriously became missing shortly thereafter. Looked and looked, but no good. About 15 years later I moved home to West Virginia and as I and my Dad were carrying a sleeper couch into the front door the case knife fell out, I was so excited and when we tried to open the couch it wouldn't open and we found the Puma in its green plastic case wedged in the hinge mechanism. Neither had ever been thrown nor used. after much thought, I remembered sitting in the den in Bristol, VA before going into the Air Force bragging to a friend about the purchase, sitting on that very couch. Unbelieveable, as uncountable how many times that sleeper had been opened and closed and they never fell out.

Lost a $5 Indian about 15 years ago and still have not found it.

I have bad luck with reales.

Lost an 1812 Mo 4 Reales (That I got a very good deal on) two years ago; tougher date too.

Then I lost a cob 2 reales (with very good details but no date) I payed $12 for a year ago. Left it in my jacket pocket one night and never saw it again. Was a very sentimental coin too.

Oh, and I have lost and re-found my pocket piece 2007 ASE at least 12 times now. In fact it is currently lost somewhere in my house. Will probably find it again soon.

Also mentioned before, but I "lost" a $20 Double Eagle 1907 High Relief Saint that I had won in an auction. Years later I was cleaning out a drawer and just before tossing a pile of old envelopes it fell out of one. I say "lost" because until I found it I wasn't aware that it had gone missing.

I misplace things more often than I lose them, but I still lose things once in a while.
Right before the banks were closed, I received 4 crisp unc $100 star notes.
I have no idea what happened to them.
I'll find them someday......maybe

I was on my boat one day and took my wedding ring off to put on some sun screen. I put it on the dash on the port side. Still to this day i havent found it. Its on that 19ft boat somewhere, it has to be. It wouldn't have flown out. Someday it will show up.

So I misplaced my sanity for 43 years thanks to PTSD courtesy of the green machine and hid my coin collection from myself so l couldn't sell it. As fate would have it my wife saved my life in 2015 by driving my sorry a__ to the VA ER and I "found" my collection in the basement in recovery. I am grateful for my life today. Have a good day. Peace Roy

Bless you and thank you Roy.

I missing a 1964-L and a 1 oz silver bar [San Diego Zoo],
been missing about 25 years,
but I'm sure they will turn up.

I lost half of a very rare piece for one of my other hobbies. It was an issue that was only available regionally, and not in the northeast where I live. It's two parts and one of them is just gone, luckily the other half is still here. I hope I will find it someday.

About 20 years ago I lost a very rare Newpaper stamp (5-8 known) I had just paid about 30K. I was so upset that I stopped collecting for about 6months. About 2 years later I bought another copy also for around 35K. When I sold my Newspaper stamp collection about 5 years later the second stamp sold for 65K so I basically broke even. The original stamp was never found and I have since sold the house in which it was lost.

Only lost my mind about 3 years now. I think. lol
It will show up someday when I least expect it.
