Have you ever been here? I received a 1/10 oz gold Britannia in the mail. Unpacked it and prepared to take it from its flip to a capsule. It wasn't coming out of the flip so I shook it. Flip fell out of my hand and to the floor. Looked at the floor. There was the flip but where was the coin? My home office is a hobby electronics lab too and a little messy. Searched for 1.5 hours, couldn't find the coin. Thought I found the coin once but it was a shiny penny. Felt gut punched. Resolved to thinking maybe i'll find it someday or maybe it is lost forever. Next day, I am still thinking about the coin. So not so resolved and still hoping. Searched some more, not finding it. Then I flicked my hand across the carpeting under a stool that was so far away from where I lost the coin that it couldn't possibly be there. Out pops Lady Britannia, unscathed. From Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, "Pu-raise Gawd for vittory.". Net result, my home office is a little cleaner.

Glad you found it. I've dropped a few coins over the years damaged them

Much harder to loose a 1 ounce coin, but if it happens,
the potential loss is ten times greater.

A one ounce coin won't fly as far,
but in the raw, the potential for damage is much greater.
