ikaros Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I was a little puzzled by a missing proof 1993S Jeff I'd bought last weekend. I figured I'd left it at Evil Twin's place. It turned up today in my shoe. Outside the cardboard flip, which was also in the shoe. Methinks any chance of getting a PR69DCAM are now pretty minimal... I have NO idea how it got in my shoe, or why it took until today to notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Very strange Ik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Fortunately, the financial hit is only about 30¢ -- proofs from the 90s are cheap and plentiful. I'm more amused than anything else; it was quite too weird to be annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'd have to agree with you on the strangeness of the whole thing. The story alone is worth far more than the nickel will ever be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Were you wearing the shoe when you found it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davobenz Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I have found the strangest things in my shoes: House keys that had accidentally fallen into a shoe and had been lost for some hours - a big problem when you are living alone, because there is no one else to help you find them. As a teenager, I found a funnel web spider (atrax robustus) in a shoe - another big problem, because they are the deadliest spider species on Earth, quite capable of killing you within an hour so, with their neurotoxin. Required hospitalisation. My kid brother rather facesioisly said that I was always going to survive, because I had no brains anyway! I have an aluminium bronze pad printed colourized proof dollar (not found in shoe), that was taken from circulation - a bit of a mystery as to why it may have persisted in circulation for so long, not only because of it's mirror fields (now imparied), but also because of it's very obvious colourization.
