Vintage 1982 US Mint proof coin set, red case
I lost my vintage 1982 US Mint proof coin set yesterday around 3pm near the LSU Bookstore on Highland Road, by the campus loop. It's stored in a red hinged presentation box with a gold label and contains a slim black plastic display case with six coins that have a mirror finish. The inner velvet insert has a small "AP" handwritten initials in black marker on the inside lid, and the outer box shows light wear from being tucked in my backpack. This set was a gift from my grandfather and has sentimental value; I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reach out — I’d be forever grateful.
Silver pocket watch with initials JH in velvet pouch
I lost my silver Waltham pocket watch from the 1950s, about the size of a silver dollar, in a black velvet pouch with a brass chain. The case is a bit tarnished, and the glass face has a tiny crack at 3 o'clock. There’s a small engraving on the back with the initials JH, which helps confirm it’s mine. I had it yesterday around 3pm near the Mississippi River levee behind the River Center in downtown Baton Rouge. It’s a sentimental collector’s item—it was handed down from my grandfather, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found it, please text me and we can arrange a pickup in Baton Rouge.
Blue binder with stamps and coins
I found a blue 3-ring binder filled with stamps and coins this afternoon around 2:15 PM, tucked under a bench outside the Old State Capitol on River Road in Baton Rouge. The binder is blue vinyl, about 9x11 inches, with a faded white label on the spine that reads 'Louisiana Stamp Club.' Inside there are stamp sheets from the 1950s, a few coins including a 1945 nickel and a shiny 1964 quarter, and a bright red bookmark that says 'BR Stamp Club.' There's also a tiny brass coin album keychain clipped to the ring. I know this stuff probably belongs to someone who cares about this hobby, and I’d love to help get it back to its owner.
