Maybe one of your guests "found" it. I would think it's awful hard to misplace a whole set.

Maybe one of your guests "found" it I hate to say it, but sadly that was my first thought also. During 'show and tell' only 1 coin/set should come out at a time then promptly go back into hiding - especially with something as valueable as the HBC issues. Hope it turns up at your house and not on ebay or craigslist. |

My other two guest for "show and tell" are individuals whom I trust whole heartedly (and a set of artic tokens pales in value to what these guys handle ).... no this is just my bad organizational skills.... they'll turn up I'm sure... but where and when will all by a mystery!

give your friends a call, just because they didn't take them home with bad intentions doesn't mean the coins couldn't have slipped in with their stuff accidentally.
Feel free to call me Will.

Nothing valuable but I misplaced a 1976S silver uncirculated Kennedy half sometime in the past few months. I had 2 of them, now only one can be found. Like you I think it'll eventually show up and I probably won't even be looking for it at the time. I hate losing anything even if it has little value. I've noticed the older I get the more things I lose. Of all the things I've ever lost I miss my mind the most!! |

I lost a 1983 DDR-001 Lincoln Memorial cent that I found roll hunting about four years ago. I found it in August, then my life got busy and when I looked for it in October, it was nowhere to be found. Hopefully it'll turn up somewhere, someday. |

I took one of my wifes world coins to photo and gave it back to her. Well she asked me where it was and I said you have it, "no I don't" we looked all over, it showed up 2 years later in "her" little stash pouch.

I bought a NORFED Liberty Dollar a few years ago and brought it along to a couple of coin club meetings as a recent acquisition. A few months later when the subject of "Unofficial Coinage" was coming up at another coin club meeting, I went to pull it out again, and couldn't find it. A few years later, still having no idea where it went, I went back to the coin dealer I bought it from and bought a replacement; fortunately, he still had some of the same coins in stock (apparently, they're not popular items here in Australia).
It's the only time I've ever written off a coin as being "lost".

When I was 9 or so, I dropped a 1964 D cent with a clip in it somewhere in a field. I only paid 95 cents for it.

I currently cant find a 1972 blue pack Ike that I bought two weeks ago. I bought a 1972 and a 1974 at the same time. when I went to get them for my holder I could only find the 1974. I went back to my LCS where I bought them and asked if I left it behind. unfortunately the answer was no. At a different LCS I asked the owner to put a coin aside for me while looked at others. 20 minutes later we couldn't find it anywhere it turned up and the next week when I went back and bought it.

I had about a dozen white Roosevelt dimes that I put in a Wayte Raymond holder and put on a bookshelf in 1992. I just found them this year, with the most amazing rainbow colors. |

Had a 1967 Canadian centennial penny when I was 10 or so, lost it since when I was 11 or 12 and never found it, after decades. Thought it might turn up, but it never did.

First off...you don't 'show' coins or paper money to a 'bunch' of people.  second.. you bring out one or two things to show and immediately return them to their hiding place, wherever that is.  Just my opinion..  |
