Reminds me of a lost coin of mine. I went nuts because it was worth thousands of bucks. Not in any of the safe deposit boxes at the bank. Not at home, in the care, in my pockets, ....

Weeks later, it turned up.......in my PO box. I had sent it to PCGS for crossover. What a relief and what a giant step towards Alzheimer's.

Great news. Must feel good. The below piece is lost and I've given up looking for it hoping the same thing will happen. it is not expensive, MS62 OGH but I like it and hope it makes it's whereabouts known soon. --Jerry

Somewhere in my house is an AG-3 16-D dime, figure I'll find it if I ever move.

Ulcers have been caused by smaller problems. Nice find

Sure that ain't "Hooter" land?

LindeDad · January 24, 2009 10:34AM

How does the size of that compare to the Satute of Liberty?

BBN · January 24, 2009 10:53AM

somewhere around the house I am missing a 1 ounce AGE. Searched hi and lo.

SUMORADA · January 24, 2009 11:09AM

I lost a 1953 25C DDO FS-101 (FS-022.1) cam or dcam (can't remember) that I pulled from a sealed proof set last year, I put it in a flip and have not seen it since, it is
driving me crazy.........there are only 7 cams in the pop report and 0 dcam.

Tdec1000 · January 24, 2009 11:23AM

I used to own that piece...not your piece but the same one.....god I miss her....really I wish had that one back.

Edscoin · January 24, 2009 11:29AM

Lost a AU 14 D Lincoln cent about 12 years ago. Ain't found that sucker yet.

ambro51 · January 24, 2009 11:33AM

I had 'lost' a $20 Liberty double eagle some months ago.....which was a neat pocket piece.

Thought I dropped it in the WaWa parking lot.

Then, finally found it a few weeks later down in the seat track of my car.

whew

I once lost two circulated common date Morgans for a few months. Then it resurfaced under a seat cushion in the living room. Don't know how that happened. Thankfully, I've never had any worse experiences.

if we're comparing just Lady Liberty, this is MUCH larger.
If we're comparing the whole thing, the Statue of Liberty is taller -

You can totally use this as a negotiating tactic when working a purchase.

YOU: Hell, I've LOST nicer pieces than this!
