[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3636093, member: 10461"]It has happened with me a couple of times. I once bought a nice original 1837 No Stars Seated half dime in an old small ANACS EF40 holder, only to discover later that it was one I'd bought and sold something like a decade earlier. Which goes to show my tastes are fairly consistent over time, I guess. The coin [USER=85675]@CircCam[/USER] called my "white elephant" is this off-center 1826-29 British shilling error. [LIST] [*]It was originally a gift to me from a kind world coin dealer (Jones? Jordan?) in a Hendersonville, NC coin shop, ca. 1992-93. [*]I sold it to Michael Swoveland ([USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER]) for $100 in 1994, when I fell on hard times. [*]He later sold it on eBay, sometime around the Millennium (give or take a year or two). [*]By completely random chance, I stumbled across it again in the fall of 2016 on the Atlas Numismatics site. [*]There was zero doubt it was the [I]exact same coin [/I]I'd sold 22 years earlier. [*]I [I]had[/I] to have it back, even though it cost five times what I'd sold it for in 1994. [*]It was raw when Michael and I owned it in the 1990s, but went off to PCGS during Atlas' ownership, and graded XF40.
