Seller's Remorse... Post the one that you wish you didn't sell!

In another thread I posted a pic of my 1918 Lincoln/Illinois Commemorative that I really liked but for some silly reason I sold it earlier this year. It was a beauty:



And here's a 1909-S NGC MS64RD (later crossed to PCGS MS64RD) Lincoln that had some really pretty rainbow color on the reverse... not sure why I ever sold this one either:



Or how about this NGC AU58 1875-S/S 20c piece, would like to have this one back too:



So, I probably could keep posting more examples of the ones I wish didn't get away from me, but let's see some pics of the coin(s) you wish you had never sold!!!

Huh? Funny....those all look like the coins that ended up in my collection!



I wish! Love the Lincoln!

 

Unfortunately I am a hoarder so I have no regrets about getting rid of any of my coins, but I do have some regrets about not buying certain coins..... but thats another story for a different thread.

 

I have quite a list I could post to that thread as well :headbang:

 

This was a pretty looking Wisconsin commemorative I owned, sort of miss it and it's a tougher commemorative to find nicely toned, but I was able to trade it for 6 PCGS graded 1908-S Indian Head Cents which helped me out with my grading set:

 

My remourse made me delete the photos, I had some darn incredible Indian Half Eagles when I had completed the set including a really nice AU58 1909-O and an MS64 1929. There were also some amazing copper toned S mints like the 1909-S, 1910-S, 1911-S, 1912-S etc... all in high end MS62.

 

Wish I never sold!!!! The other 55/55

 

well I didn't sell it - but it was in a coin folder that I gave away and I forgot about it until a few months later.
A 1909-S Cent....I don't think it graded any higher than VG at tops.

I sent a batch of stuff, odd coins, and a few folders, to a guy who helped Boy Scouts in getting their Coin Collection Badge.

I had an 1805 quarter and an 1803 half that I sold to get money to buy stamps for my collection.
They both probably graded VG/F but it was so long ago that I can't trust my memory (late 50's).
I had inherited them so they cost me nothing.
What really hurts is that I don't have EITHER type in my type set.

And the one that I don't have and had a chance at but let get away:
an 1895 Morgan.
It was the late 70's and the coin was impared BUT probably was the only chance I will ever have to get one.
(Actually at $6000 I still wouldn't have been able to afford it. That was more than half a year's salary.)

 

My collection could be akin to the proverbial Roach Motel, coins check in, but they don't check out. They just get condemned to out of mind safe deposit boxes.

 

Sometimes I really wish I had the discipline (and budget) to never have to sell any of my coins, but I'm just too impulsive when it comes to buying

Here's an Ike Dollar I miss, was only a PCGS MS65, but it was pretty looking:

 

I have no remorse as of yet, Ihave not sold a single one of mine to date.
I do on occasion sell some for friends of mine, maybe that is why I have not sold mine yet, I have seen first hand the devastating effects of buyers remorse first hand.Worse than any Flu Bug I have seen:crying:

 

You can say that again...LOL

Mine wasn't worth as much as those at least not back then, but I had a set of Lincolns 1934 -1984 p,d,s Gem BU and all the proofs even 1970s small date. Got a divorce and had to pay lawyer I think I got about $175 for it in Dansco album. kinda lost my desire to collect after that, but now have renewed my interest because of my 6 year old nephew.

illini, I really like the eagle on the lincoln half, that was a beauty

 

Yeah, it's a really tough looking eagle for sure... comes from the Illinois state seal and it's on the Illinois state flag too, though it looks much better on the coin as the flag design is a little too cartoonish.

Wow, a 66RB 1909? I'd be crying about that one too. Sorry Jack.

 

Ok, everytime I go to my photobucket account it seems like i see another one that I maybe shouldn't have let go...

I've always really liked 1851-O Three Cent Silver pieces because of the big "O" mintmark on the tiny coin, I've had several of them but this one was my best that I sold to a friend that was working on a grading set of these. PCGS MS62:

 

I have been quietly looking for one of these. Yours was a nice example. I also like the Big O mint mark.
