…and came upon a bunch of coins that I thought were lost forever and one I had completely forgotten about. Hadn’t seen them since we moved 7 years ago.
Completely forgot I bought this years ago

How come when I look in the closet, it’s usually some long John’s I’ve been missing. What a nice find, I really like your 1880 TD. Nice coin!
When I look in the closet all I find are the same socks you have. Darn.

You forgot you had/lost over $20k in coins?
Too bad the link in your sig line isn’t working for me cuz I’d love to see the coins that you do know about.
What's the deal on the 75 "P"?

Awesome Trade Dollar!
That's what I'd like to know! If it's a legit Philly issue, that's a heck of a closet find.
Are we polling to guess which coin you completely forgot about? My guess is that sweet trade dollar at the end.

Your guess is as good as mine. If it’s real, it’s worth a fortune. If it’s not, the holder is
That would be like you or me losing pocket change in the couch.
I paid $800 for a PCGS holder that says 75-P Chopmarked. No comment on the coin😂
An undisputed real one like that? $10k+.

I would like to hang out in your closet
Seems like the last time I read about you finding coins in your closet you had a bunch of odd ball stuff including an 1876 double dime. 
I agree that a true 75-P chop of that condition is a $10k coin. So damn rare - in 20 years of looking this was as close as I could find
Did you find any lost 1804 Dollars?
Nice treasure!

Or maybe a sixth 1913 liberty head nickel?
The fifth one was actually found in a closet by a Walton family member..so why not? 
His closet sounds like a treasure trove!

Better go check the attic next.
Stella's up there

Some closet!
@tradedollarnut, Bruce, what’s the significance of the 1950 Proof coins?

I think I bought them at a local show just because they were rattlers
Ha! My wife wanted half of my home office closet so I was just cleaning out space
Scary that you had coins you totally forgot about. Same here. It happens to most of us.
By the way, at least you made sure your fingernails are not dirty!
True! But not of that magnitude of course.
I was thrilled to come across a nice AU ‘29S walker that I had in an old album, found when I was going through boxes to assess what junk and bullion silver I had.
Dang! Does the back of that closet lead to Narnia? Quite the treasure! Absolutely love the Trade Dollars...

Given that, I think it may be worth your time to clean the other half!
I think I emailed you the die diagnostics for the 75 a few years ago. I can send them again. There is only one die pair for the type 1 Rev 75p's

True. Somewhere in there is the box containing four of the first five trade dollars ever struck.
I understand this completely. I was cleaning out my closet and found my Ferrari GTO that I misplaced years ago.
Where can I get one of those closets? Sweet!

Did they get stuck in the vacuum cleaner ?
I will volunteer to clean the rest of your house

I'm thinking other responsibiities, kids and wife, business and work, were "top of mind", economics were not a big issue.
I remember that group, with the original Mint letter! Amazing.
Love that sudden find, thanks for sharing !
I was told that my grandmother hid cash in all her coats and pant pockets. That way no matter what she was wearing she would always have cash on her. Must have been "The Greatest Generation" things to do.
