Have You Ever Misplaced A Valuable Coin?

You left out one - do a "spring cleaning of the entire house" - Guaranteed you find it just as you finish cleaning the LAST room.

Happens to me a lot. I go to coin shows a lot. Carry a camera type bag. So with pockets in pants, shirts, jacket if cold, lots of places to put coins purchased. Then bad habit of putting coins somewhere in my car if stopping at a store, restaurant, someone's house on the way home. Now at home, where is, are those coins. If purchased from different dealers, I have them in several places to start so just to old to remember everything.

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!"

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

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!

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.

So you found it? where was it?
