TreasureGirl Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I know I have done something stupid like spend a coin I found in circulation, but I can't think of what they were. Only thing recently is something sent to me in the mail never arrived. Oh well, stuff happens. When it comes to losing stuff, I am so anal - for example I collected "Treasure Rocks" and logged every type and color of "rock" I "revealed". Haven't lost one. Now think about those hunks of plastic vs. my pretties... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 A 1580 Austrian Thaler, I've mentioned this one before, stolen from me years ago. If I ever find out who took it, well....let's just say I better not find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Don't think I've ever lost anything significant. I've misplaced things for a few years but they have always showed up. I didn't take out a loan once when an authenticated box of medals carried by Napoleon on the battlefield of Waterloo was offered to me for $2500 by Superior here in LA. Never did find out who got it but it had been looted from Nap's carriage after the battle and passed down through an English family. Sigh...

edix2001 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I lost all the coins I collected in my early teens. I have no idea what happened to them at all. None of them were particularly valuable, but it was something I put a lot of time into in the early to mid-1970s. I guess the education I received while collecting back then is what has lasted.

NumisMattic2200 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I have only lost one so fay, and I've been at this hobby for about 5 months, luckily for me it was only a modern-day North Korea coin - 'a one won' I think so not much in value terms. ......but alas it probably is in some landfill somewhere But look on the bright side - it will probably be found be some elated metal-detectorist in the distant future! Or maybe that's not good.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I really hate to remember this but not lost, but I think I would have preferred loosing a coin compared to this. At a coin show I found a 1921S Lincoln Cent in the most perfect condition any coin was ever in. It was raw but well could have been a MS-66. Regardless I knew the dealer and he said for me I could have it for $100, not sure but I think that was the price. Naturally I purchased it. At home I wanted to take it out of the 2x2 which was stapled together and put it in an album. I had a bad habit of usuing a sharp screwdriver to lift the staples up. The screwdriver slipped. Ran accross the face of Lincoln leaving a scratch that may as well been a foot deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 My house was broken into the weekend between Christmas and New Years 1981. I lost some stuff I had sitting on my desk. Some Morgan Dollars, rolls of wheaties and My Moms Whittman penny collection plus some coins a friend had given me to look thru as possable trades. I got the rolled wheaties back when they were cashed in at a local convenient store. The clerk couldn't identify the kid but I know who it was but couldn't prove it. Last I heard he was in jail for auto theft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped doing that. Now, I say screw it, I'll never reuse the 2X2 so I'll just cut the plastic holding in the coin and the coin is easily removed unharmed.
