I just found a 20-cent piece! An 1875-S in VG10!

Guess where?


In my VAN!

It was tucked into an envelope inside a briefcase I haven't used for a couple months. I thought I had sold it. Had two practically identical ones, slabbed and sold one, and thought I had already sold this one.

Being absentminded can also have its benefits. Not often, but it does make for some nice "windfall" discoveries. (Or RE-discoveries, as the case may be.)

I'm now $125-130 richer than I thought I was. image


PS-sorry if I gave you heart palpitations with that title. Heh.

Believe me, if I had dug it out of the dirt, I'd be in the cardiac wing of the hospital right now!

    I didn't think they made vans in the 1870s...

    An image of a man using a metal detector in his van just entered my head...

    Can't say I recommend that, having inadvertently tried it a time or two, by forgetting to turn the 'tector off. It tends to confuse the poor machine.

    My wife had a red face when the Vibra Probe 570 rolled across the van floor.
    I thought I had turned it off. I don't see why she got all red faced about it?

    Aah, 'tis only temporary. I like to change 'em now and again. I always go back to the default icon.

    Besides, I had to show off my newly-purchased Otho denarius.
