FOUND! Woo hoo!

You know that great "bonus" when you put on some clothes only to "find" some "lost" money in one of the pockets? Well, I just had the numismatic equivalent. I was spending some quality time with a single barrel Kentucky bourbon and studying some twenty-cent piece die varieties and I opened up an envelope with some die marker notes on it. It felt like there was something inside and ... yahoo! ... I found seven double dimes! Best part was that there were a few nice examples of reverse die cracks.

Every so often if you have lived an exemplary life, the coin gods will smile upon you and send you a little reward.
Congratulations on refinding your coins.

No offense, but stories like these are strange to me. I can't imagine not knowing what coins I have or where they're at.

It's happened to me also. Sometimes if they're shipped late or you receive it after the initial "purchasing high" you can be forgetful. I personally found a CAC MS66 Barber that I already owned. Pretty exciting.

I have this happen quite often. Mostly pocket finds or flea market finds. I get them in the pocket they go and they really go till 6 months later till i find them again.

No offense but you surely must be very new to coin collecting ? I'm not a patch on most of the collectors here but if you put a gun to my head i still couldn't tell you even a fraction of the coins i own.I'd bet my shirt that's true for almost every collector of coins,the exception being one who keeps a database

Not new, just returning after a 10 year hiatus. Even during my active collecting days, when I had quite a few coins, I always knew what I had and where it was. Of course I have OCD but I thought all coin collectors had that. I guess not. Then again, I think many collectors are probably actually "hoarders", which is different, even if they don't realize it.
