Insomnia is no fun, but while up earlier look what I found stacked in the safe. Just plain forgot about it.

Very nice
We need someone to create safes with lazy Susan or one of those display cases that rotate.

The problem with our hobby is we forget what the sleeping beauties in the vaults, safes etc. look like

The only way not to forget is to scan or photograph every last one of them

Ben, since you forgot about it, you won't miss it when you send it to me here in sunny no-humidity Arizona.

The previous offers for storage are very generous, but they forget I have an entire bank vault at my disposal!

Banks get robbed all the time. And in northern states, it's worth one's life just getting to the bank through all that yucky snow, ice, and slick roads. Best send it here in the desert where nobody ever comes and where it never snows.

Sometimes I buy something really cool so I put it in the safe and forget about it...for awhile. We recently found 3 buckets of foreign coins that were buried in the back room that we'd forgotten about.
Your gold coin is a better find, tho :)

WOW!! That must have been a nice re(discovery). I am pretty sure that I don't have anything like that hiding on me. I do have an NGC MS-64 Buffalo nickel in my t-shirt drawer though!

Yeah, I kinda get that, but I was wondering why it's special.

Suppose if I collected the series, it wouldn't be such a surprise to come across after forgetting about having it.

Since I don't collect the series and it's gold-Au, this lowly (Early American Silver) collector was happily surprised

Thanks for taking a look
