One of the joys of being an aging coin collector is looking in a box and finding coins that you don’t even remember buying.

a HIGHLY coveted skill acquired over a lifetime of experience applicable in many other areas. movies, conversations, random object placement, names of kids/grand kids, what one had for breakfast, etc

I’m especially prone to that. I like to put entire collections into boxes and start over periodically.
Each time I do that I try to focus and improve over the last time.

A couple years back I "discovered" my 1995 (?) Civil War proof coins. Like finding treasure. Didnt remember ordering them.
"Aging"??? I'm still in my mid-50s.
Those brain pills they sell ... y'know for memory. They're called _Prevagen _or something. Try remembering that when you are looking for them. Seriously, should call them "Brain Pills" ... like generic "Beer".

Since I have coins acquired as long as 55+ years ago, and have traveled with me through nine states and three countries that I have worked/lived in.... Well, there is bound to be a few surprises in those boxes... Which really is not a memory issue, just more of a vast accumulation over most of my life issue. So far, my memory is great, mind is sharp, tactical skills fast and on target. I will just keep on keeping on.... Cheers, RickO
