I haven't lost one, but I had a close call, I noticed that one of the slots in my binder had become a little loose, and that one coin was slipping out of that holder, luckily I saw it early enough to remedy the problem before any were lost.

Just a followup to never give up hope!
My once missing 18/17-D Buffalo I cited earlier in this thread showed up this morning. It was "found" exactly where I had put it ----in the hidden, secret compartment of my briefcase!
So when you look back it was really not lost, just forgotten where it was stashed away!
Yeehaw!

I bought a roll of Peace dollars a few years back in the midst of all kinds of craziness, knew they were somewhere but could not find them ANYWHERE. This past summer, while moving some documents, found the roll in the safe deposit box I use only for documents. The craziest part is, I know I've put stuff in and removed stuff numerous times in the last few years, but somehow missed them over and over again! A good reminder in the importance of organization! |

Lost a Columbian half dollar at Starbucks. I had just sold here on a CCF auction, yes I went back, no the coin was nowhere to be found, yes I refunded the buyer's money.  Somewhere in my room, I believe I have a lost 1794 unattributed Large Cent, that or possibly in one of many, many boxes of numismatic books I have in storage.

You should see my desk! I bet mine's worse  Anyway, I've been fortunate not to lose any important coins, but I did lose a 1941 silver quarter. Turned up a month later underneath my bed. |

Wife has taken to hiding some of his coins from time to time so she can find them for a night out. Doesn't always work, have to hide the right coin.  |

I lost a roll of gem Delaware quarters in 2000 as a kid. I didn't find it until 2012 until I helped my parents move their old couch to a new room lol. I got so much flak from my parents that I lost them forever and I kept telling them I just misplace them and a roll of quarters in a plastic roll wasn't going to walk off. I was right but misplaced them for 12 years.

Yeah... lost a Whitman Indian cent album with about 30 dates in it, mostly commons but some nice full liberty 1860 and 1862 CN included. Still hoping it will turn up somewhere in the house! |
