This is for anyone with the answer, what happens to the coin when you burn through all your password tries.

In this particular case the coins are on a hard drive that encrypts after 10 missed password trys. So the coins are still there, it's just the hard drive will encrypt all the data and it will essentially be impossible to get off.

Coina are always still in the wallet on the drive but Essentially they would be lost forever.
