....that I already own. :D

Split a deal with a friend in 2013 and forgot that I had the coin, not him.

How stupid is that?? :D:D

    Last night I rushed to the post office to mail back an important prepaid mailer that was mailed to me to return to them.

    Today the mailman leaves that same envelope/package in my mail box.

    Now I look closely at it, it is addressed to me. In my rush to get to the PO by 5 PM. I had accidentally resealed and sent back the original envelope they had sent to me.

    DUH

    At least you showed that you still value the coin and didn’t lowball yourself.

    Well now... after reading those two events, I feel good....I may be getting old, but still not in the 'forgetful' stage.... Well, once in a while, I forget to pick up an item at the supermarket - I do not write lists. I know I do not remember every coin I have, but that would clutter up my brain.... :D That way I occasionally get surprises when checking my coin cabinets..... ;) Other than that, my shipmates call me Rick-o-Pedia, since when they forget things during our weekly chats or reunions, or are looking for some information, they ask me, and I have the answers (most of the time). Cheers, RickO

    I had heard the mail lady drive up, and went out to get the mail as she drove away. When I saw the package was back, I swung into action to readdress the envelope by crossing out my name and addy, an rushed into my car to find her while she's still around. I caught her and asked her if this package that now looks like it's been through WW2 is okay to get delivered. She looks at it and gets a sour lemon look on her face, and said, " you opened it, I don't think it's good, but I'll take it and ask the customer service ladies at the PO. I thanked her and said if there's any charge, let me know.

    It gets worse. Ricko will feel even better after hearing this.

    Now things have calmed down, and I go through my office waste basket for a second time, and find the proper return mailer.

    I was too embarrassed to track her down again.

    Since you made an offer, I assume you feel that the coin is currently overpriced?

    Well, I know what I paid for it ($425) and offered $1750! :D
