How many of you have lost a coin at home and you can't seem to find it. I have lost two American pennies, I know they were here and they have never been out of the house so where did they go. What makes matters even worse is that they are 1910S and 1914S. Did I put them somewhere safe? With no kids and wife at home I fear I have only got myself to blame. Hope they turn up before I am forced to buy them again.
Some how I have lost a bunch of coins... The only one I can think of right now is my 1869 3 cent price I can't seem to find
Every time I clean my room I always end up with a nice pile of wheat cents, -!; honestly I have no idea how I loose so much! Hopefully when I clean my room tomorrow I'll find that 3 cent piece...
I have a graded coin for which I had paid $140 and at the time I bought it, it was one of my most expensive coins. A year ago I put it in a safe place in the house as I was going out for a couple of days. It is still in that safe place. I think I know which room that is but have not looked through all the boxes and folders and such to find it.
The cat once (well, once...) got crazy and attacked one pile of coins on the table. I'm pretty sure I found all of them except one.
Talking about this: I'm usually good at the opposite. Every time I visit the US or another country where cash is still king, I tend to find at least one coin per day during my walks. Usually nothing special though, except the one time I found a pile of bank notes worth the equivalent of $200.
I misplaced a Alexander the Great silver .. for about a month. I looked hard several times .. then one day it was in a box .. that is should not have been in.
Another time lost a 1910 British Trade dollar for six months in my work shop. Ended up taking almost everything out of the shop to find it ... at least the shop got clean.
One of the coin shops I work lost a Massachusetts copper in AU. It was 2 or 3 years before it turned up.
There is an old Scientific theory about things like this. Sort of like where is that missing sock that should have been in the dryer? Actually many missing items have fallen into a space/time warp or dimensional hole. This means your coin(s) or other missing items have moved to another place in either time or a different dimension. When this happens normally it is just a replacement and you should or could actually find an item that doesn't belong here although you don't notice. Eventually, such happenings must balance out so the replacement switches back to normal as a balance to our Universe and you find your coin(s) and or other missing items. Or your just absent minded.
Currently, Poland 5 zloty 1928 is missing. It was cleaned and damaged, so technically nothing to whine about, but it still irks me.
I'm certain it hasn't been previously sold. Checked the junk pile twice, checked the for sale pile twice, checked the vacuum bag, all cupboards, all drawers, and it's not there.
This has actually become one of the reasons I decided to get rid of all excess junk, most of which is borderline collectible and thus has hardly any value. So far, a few of the items did sell (usually within the $0.50-$2 price range) but the search - and clean-up - continues.
