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!

erwindoc · February 9, 2018 4:35PM

I knew I misplaced those coins! Glad you found them.

A real 1804 dollar

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

hchcoin · February 9, 2018 5:50PM

I'll give you $40

cheezhed · February 9, 2018 5:52PM

Incredible.

10000lakes · February 9, 2018 5:57PM

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?

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

Treashunt · February 11, 2018 12:37PM

Thought for the day:

Check my old boxes.

logger7 · February 11, 2018 2:25PM

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.
