Nice!
If you need help cleaning your house let me know.....
If that's what you forget about, I'd like to see the coins that you remember!
I knew I misplaced those coins! Glad you found them.
A real 1804 dollar
Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association
Back when I worked for Harlan Berk and we were doing our annual inventory, we just automatically counted the "in process but temporarily forgotten" stuff on my desk at $10,000.00!
I'll take the 90-cc for $35
I'll give you $40
Incredible.
I'll go $45 if it's a Tailbar
The CC coins in the photo suggest an interesting way to collect a Carson City Silver Dollar type set - by decades.
People like old slabs.
But old stapled 2x2s can be even better !
I also like it when I open a box and find a grand I had forgotten about
I have three wooden coin cabinets that I store coins in (those that do not require the security of a safe) and periodically will go through one of them to check the status or looking for a specific coin. I occasionally get a surprise - Oh...forgot about that one...- always a pleasant interlude. Cheers, RickO
When I first moved to Colorado Springs in 1978 there was a dealer on the East side named Don Halocek. Biggest dealer in town but a nice guy. Just passed away.
Anyways, he used to let me go behind his counter and look at his newps and tokens and scrap bucket. One time in 1980 I dropped a coin and it kicked under some steel shelving. I got down with a yard stick and began fishing under the shelves for it. Found a $5 Indian, a $2-1/2 Lib and a variety of other things. This was shortly after the Hunt Brothers bubble had burst, and he had been busy.
Awesome to find those. Where's the Trade $ minted?
Maybe should be 'biggest dealer in town and a nice guy'!

Dang, beat me to it.
Too bad you did'nt find these years ago, you could have sold the Delaware for 10x what it's going for now
Thought for the day:
Check my old boxes.

It's maybe time to get some help going through your old stuff....I remember your other "finds". Last time I was looking for a missing coin it was a real opportunity to do some cleaning.
Nice find!
