You forgot to put in an answer "Panic and buy a replacement"
More like "Panic and don't tell the wife you can't find that $500 coin you just got...it's kind of hard to run out and replace one like that!"  |

you could always hire a psychic and let her hold you other valuable coins in their hand and then they can tell you where the one you lost is at, just don't forget to get the other valuable coins back from the psychic or you will have to rehire them to find out what they did with the coins you let them hold

If you have children/grandchildren, it may or not turn up.

I've lost a couple gold coins before. Didn't find them until I accidentally stumbled on them a year and a half later.

Well I am happy to report that I found my 1921 Peace! We had a tornado warning last night so I scooped up all my coins that I had at my house at the time and went to the basement. While the storms rolled through, I decided to search some rolls and get some order to my stuff I got for Trade/Selling and low and behold there it was in that mix!

Sure, had a 1938 proof set disappear for a few years before it finally turned up again.

This is an interesting topic. I read somewhere about parrallel Universes and some are so close that items from one occationally jump between two of them. Usually due to some slight power surge. For example everyone knows that socks can vanish in a cloths dryer and them show up again after several other drying times. There is the items you drop and they just vanish. Happens to everyone. Then as if by magic, poof, it appears somewhere else and sometimes days, weeks or even years later. Supposedly such things slide into that parrallele Universe for a temporary period and due to the matter replacement necessities of each, the object will reapear eventually but if for some reason a similar object from the other Universe comes here, your item will be lost forever. Not long ago I was sitting at a table going through some duplicates of Cents. I dropped a 1912D Lincoln Cent and when I bent to pick it up, it was gone. I never have found that coin. It was not in the best condition but where did it go. I've vacuumed that room, dusted it, and moved everything and still no coin. Wonder who in that other Universe found it and what did they do with it. |

I never lost a coin of real value, but it drove me nuts looking for a common Roosevelt I needed to complete my set. I never did find it.

Two are lost. 1914 D Lincoln. 1932 D Washington quarter. The Lincoln was given to our oldest son by a neighbor 30 plus years ago, and I was supposed to save it for him. The quarter was actually found in circulation. Have not found either to date. These aren't the only items of value which are misplaced. I also have a personally signed photo from Harry S. Truman. It is put away some place so secure, I can't find it. Would love to locate it and put it on the wall. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all three items will turn up eventually. Memory -- the second thing to go. |

just_carl's comments on a parellel universe is interesting. I have had things disappear and never saw them again.
Most recently I dropped a car key behind a filing cabinet. I pulled out the cabinet to pick up the key, and it wasn't there. Nowhere for it to have gone. It will always remain a mystery.

Have you noticed that when you find a lost item, it is ALWAYS in the last place you looked?
Someday I hope to figure out a way to look there FIRST, and save myself a lot of time.

Mine usually turns up on the scanner if I'm to lazy to take a picture, or I'm doing a comparison of pics and scans, found my last one there after 3 days of looking.  |

I have a bad habbit of looking in places I've already looked! LOL
Currently I'm missing a 1960 proof half. I seemed to have misplaced it or Scottie beamed it up. I took the set apart for the Lincoln a couple of months ago, I was browsing that folder the other day and realized it's not there. I just dunno! I only work with my coins in one area, so this one really has me perplexed. Bottom line, I keep looking where I've ready looked because I looked everywhere. LOLOLOLOL
