Message:: [QUOTE="ziggy29, post: 15577, member: 1113"]I saw this thread on another coin board last week, and I thought it might be a fun one here (or depressing; take your pick). Have you ever sold a coin which really makes you kick yourself and ask yourself what you were thinking?  A coin which you'd gladly return the money, plus another chunk of change, to get back regardless of market conditions? I'll start.  I have three coins that fit into this category, but the one I most regret selling was an 1829 half dime which I had for many years.  I bought it as a "choice BU" while I was in college (working 20-25 hours a week, living at home and having no life, I had a fair amount of money for coins) in an mid-1980s Bowers and Ruddy auction where it was "choice BU."  Many years later I sent it to NGC and they slapped an MS-64 label to it.  A couple years ago money was tight (before we sold a California house and moved to Texas), and I reluctantly sold her.  Oh, how I wish I had her back... I have two others which qualify for "remorse," both also NGC-graded:  an 1896 Liberty Nickel, MS-65, and an 1895-S Barber half, MS-61.  But it's the old capped bust half dime which depresses me whenever I think of her.[/QUOTE]
