Message:: [QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 799929, member: 19456"]I don't ever regret selling anything...because I never sell anything!  What I do regret is missed opportunity. I didn't start collecting coins until 2008, when I was 23 years old. I've been collecting various things for more then 2 decades now, I started my first collection in 1985. So think of all the coins I've missed out on!  There was a local shop I used to go to, it was a coin shop but also sold diecast. I was pretty much only interested in the diecast but the owner gave me a 1854 dime, for free. If he was willing to give me that I wonder what he might have had in the shop that I could have purchased. Unfortunatly he went out of buisness in the 90s. In the Danbury Mall there used to be a Science store. In it they had bins of world coins, not unlike when you see stores with jelly bean dispensers, is how I remember it anyway. I know they were cheap, I got some back then but only about a dozen. What I could have gotten there!  Another local coin shop that I missed out on was right next door to a different diecast shop. I only went in once but I know I got some interesting stuff there, I remember they had other coins but I only got a few. I did purchase a license plate from the 1940s though, with the intent to hang it on my wall...that never happened, and it's still in the bag they gave me, in my closet!  I regret the missed opportunitys for sure...[/QUOTE]
