Embarrasing Moment for yours truly

LovethoseIndians

and shows what a moron I can truly be! I had just bought a awesome "blueish, purple, red" toned 1903 Indian and I mean this was a terrific coin. Set it down before putting it away in my collection....now I've lost it...I've searched high and low and I am sure it will turn up at some point,....

Seems I will be hiding my own Easter eggs before too long. BTW, the coin was purchased "raw" as a "CH-BU" for $80....I am out $ 80 tight now....

Feel free to give me a rousing M-O-R-O-N as I deserve it...hahaha

JrGMan2004

Eh, I do it all the time with things... the phone, the remote, my glass, my dinner, my coins, my computer, my car... everything!!! Ok, maybe not everything, but some of those things...

LovethoseIndians

Me too! BUT NEVER WITH A TONED INDIAN.....Oh well I'll find that sucker when I least expect it I suppose.

LucyBop

you maroon!!!!!

I bought a proof 62 Frankie in Portland from a shop downtown in 2001...

I barely found that coin a few weeks ago.........

LovethoseIndians

Yeah I am hoping for that similar "surprise"...hopefully sooner than two years. My wife thought I was nuts as I was tearing through everything from my safe, to nightstands, to computer desk.

She referred to that as "nonsense looking for a stupid penny" hahahahahahahaha Of course she has not clue what I buy and sell most coins for really as long as it never affects the ole' family budget process.

I will be right over to help ya find it I misplaced my Breens Encyclopedia last week. Took me two days to find it. I placed a television set on top it so it would not scratch the table, just did not realize what book it was until I moved the TV back.
Have faith it will turn up.

I've lost coins several times. They always turn up in desk drawers, etc. After an hour of searching for a recent purchase,
I gave up. I picked up another coin to look at under my microscope. And yes, found the first one already sitting there!

HalfCents

Ouch! Check under your sunglasses case or under the "Bills to be Paid" stack. That's where I usually find my new coin purchases. You must be 29-ish, like me!!!

LovethoseIndians

44'ish...If you are 29 and losing stuff quickly, just wait til you are my age or older...Once again..."hiding ones own Easter eggs" hahaha

HalfCents

I guess I should explain the "29-ish" thing: Me, my wife, best friends, etc. ALL claim to be "29". and say things like "29 is hell!!!" when the arthritis kicks in really well!! Chronologically (if ya' wanna be real technical) I'm 54. But I rarely admit it!!!

mgoodm3

Famous last words: I'll put it in my new special hiding place, nobody will find it here.

BAJJERFAN

If its any comfort you will find it in the last place that you look.

LovethoseIndians

Got ya on the "29'issh" now...remember I am a moron and don't get things quickly any longer...

As for the guy who says I'll find the coin in the last place I look! Yippppeeeeeeee later today i am off to look again

Steve27

Check your scanner, that's where I find all my missing coins.

MICHAELDIXON

It happens to all of us! When I die, the family will be finding lots of coins in my desk, cabinets, safe, and file cabinets that never made it into the inventory.

No biggie LTI - sometimes I get up to go to the bathroom, walk around the house for a while and forget why I'm walking around in the first place.

See you in the old folks home! Should be a fun time...

poptopsRus

I dropped a loose diamond here and the store 2 years ago and have never found it.

baccaruda

poptops -

Find the heaviest object in the room that's the most difficult to get under. Find the geometric epicenter underneath that object. When I drop something this is ALWAYS where it ends up.


Unless I'm working under the hood of my car and I drop a tool - in that case it never lands on the ground.

GaCoinGuy

Its happened to all of us at one time or another...just last week, I was cleaning my desk and found a couple of slabs......a pink toned 61 Frankie and Roosie graded PR66 that I had completely forgotten I even had.

NoGvmnt

Ha, I still haven't located the BU 1862/1 three cent silver that I stashed away over 4 years ago. I know it is in one of those boxes in storage, I just don't know WHICH ONE!!!

"Unless I'm working under the hood of my car and I drop a tool - in that case it never lands on the ground"

Yep Ruda, the damn thing either bounces right into the motor mount (where the telescopic magnet REALLY comes in handy), or it falls down into the nosing under the hood latch (Formula Firebird), where I have to remove the radiator protection under the car to retrieve the socket.

Jim

LovethoseIndians

No Gvnmt...that would'nt be a bong would it? Been a long time since I saw one of those puppies....might be why my memory is bad NOW though hahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

baccaruda

I remember waiting at the junk yard to go get a part when a guy walked in with a cracked piston in his hand.

He was working on his car and starting putting everything back together. He put the air cleaner on and couldn't find the little butterfly nut - so he figured "big deal" and drove it anyway.

Of course, he later found the butterfly nut in the worst possible place.

Lightside

With men, everything seems impossible, but with God, all things are possible.

Oh God, show lovethoseindians where that precious coin is, so he will be happy and think of You.

Amen-so be it, it is done.

LovethoseIndians

Great sentiment there pal, and appreciate that!

Talk about embarassing. When I was in eighth grade my parents had warned me not to lose my gym clothes because they cost about $40 to replace (a fortune to me!). One day in the locker room I was frantically looking around for my gym shorts and freaking about what my parents would do if they found out I lost them. Eventually I happened to glance down and I noticed I was wearing them

Oh, and I still can't seem to find where I misplaced my Breen's encyclopedia either =(

nankraut

I love this thread! Sadly, I've never lost anything. heh heh heh.

Nysoto

I have a recliner that is very comfortable but likes to eat coins while I'm sleeping. I getting ready to slice it apart to recover the lost fortune.

baccaruda

Check the bathroom.

LucyBop

I checked under my bed for my long lost and missing Frankie...

Boy was I stunned to find MadMarty hiding under there!

NoGvmnt

"No Gvnmt...that would'nt be a bong would it? Been a long time since I saw one of those puppies....might be why my memory is bad NOW though hahahahahahahahahahahahahahha "

Yup, that's what it is alright (although someone else loaded it into the available icons).

The kicker is, when I was in my late teens and early twenties I used to collect them (very legal at the time) and all my friends would buy them for me for gifts on my birthday and christmas. I used to show them with pride just like we now show our coins, and I still have a couple boxes of them packed away in storage (Hmmmmmmm, wonder if they are collectables now?!!!).

Jim

Oh, PS, my memory is still as sharp as a razor (except for that darned three cent piece!)

MadMarty

NoGvmnt

"Boy was I stunned to find MadMarty hiding under there! "

Was he holding your long lost Margarita?

Jim

LucyBop

with the MadWizard its Rum..... so we are talking a Strawberry Daquri now...

<< <i>Check the bathroom. >>



I'm pretty sure it got missplaced during the move =(

remumc

Of all the things I've lost, I think I miss my mind the most!

I lost a Walking Liberty half dollar that I had put in a plastic bag. I found it on top of a couch many months later, still in the plastic bag.
