Strange find in an unlikely place.

Look under my desk to plug in my desk lamp, and there is this little coin sitting in the corner. Pull it out, and find a 1858 Flying Eagle cent in VG-8. No idea from whence it came, but I'll take these kind of surprises anytime.

Is that where I left it? LOL

On second thoughts It's not mine, I haven't been under your desk.

Y'know, that happened to me, in the parkinglot of the apartments that I will be living in only for the next week.  I was getting out of my car, and noticed a little coin on the ground. Picked it up, and it was an almost uncirculated Netherlands 1/2 cent coin.  I know it had to have come from me, but damned if I remember losing one.

Some people have all the luck

Twoshadows was over a week or so ago and I was wanting to show him the Merlin coin I bought off eBay. I went to the trusty old strongbox and came out with the drawer that holds my special what-nots and stumbled across a 1998 1/4oz gold eagle I had forgot about buying from a damsel in distress at work one day for a mere $100.00. At the time, I couldn't for the life of me remember where it came from. I'm glad I found it though.

I will give you $105 for it......

There are two coins I own, which I can't find.  And, it drives me bonkers.

One is a 1932 D Washington quarter in very good shape.  It is, by far, the most valuable coin I have ever found in circulation.

The other coin was given to me by our children, quite a few years ago -- a 1/4 ounce Gold Eagle.

While it's a little off topic, I also highly value an autographed picture of Harry S. Truman, personally enscribed to me.  I'd like to have it on my office wall, but can't find it.

I hope I can find all three items eventually.
