A collecter was wandering around Friday afternoon and evening searching for a coin he had purchased earlier for a few thousand dollars! He was booked for the harbour cruise and dinner which he attended but likely was not enjoying. Finally either late Friday or early Saturday he found the coin in the garbage of the lounge where it ended up, he had left it on a table wrapped in a paper napkin and it was swept into the garbage as the table was cleared!! Happy, happy, HAPPY!

Nice ending. I wish my story had a better ending than that one. I bought an ancient coin at the RCNA and lost it 2 days later.

Really glad he found the coin, that's a horrible feeling when something pricey is lost like that.

Orfew, sorry to hear about your loss though.

What a great story Zomad! I can imagine him rethinking his steps every minute of the night.....Was the garbage in a dumpster? Regardless, that's an extremely memorable "find" that I bet he'll be recollecting for years to come.

Orfew, sorry yours didn't have a happy ending as well. Hopefully it became someone else's great find.....
