Have you ever found a coin worth $1,000+ that you forgot/didn't know you had?

It has happened to me two or three times. I opened a sealed US Mint box once and noticed about $1,000 worth of coin and currency sets I thought I had sold. 
The second time was a sealed box with two Buffalo Gold coins I didn't know I had. I have since kept better track of my collection.

I had to find my old notes and verify when I picked it up and for how much.
It was forgotten for a good 15-20 years.
It did kind of make my day though
Put them away for over 40 years. Several thousand in all grades. Just started looking at them when I decided
to put together complete Morgan sets. Completed one set - no '95 and am 9 short of a 2nd set (several easy to
get and cheap dates missing in this set). Only need the '94 and '93s to complete plus pic up the 7 others. But,
I never knew about VAMs when I was saving or I would have done better probably! Oh, well, completed 4 CC
sets in addition. One complete high grade New Orleans set, and One complete UNC Peace.

Put 'em away and forget 'em for 40 years seems to work well with me!

It's lurking somewhere, unforgotten. My grandfather plowed it up about 80 years ago.
