The sad thing is this one I did submit reconsideration service twice in late 2016 and got no upgrade. Has some light chatter right obverse so I decided to give up.

Maddening, isn't it?
You just need to let it go man. And I don't mean that in a sarcastic way at all. Once you sell a coin it's gone. Don't think about it anymore. All it does is kill your spirit and ruin your day.
I agree with Dimeman.
There is positive here you apparently have a good eye and are buying the right coins.
I guess you aren’t well connected enough.
Did your coins bring you happiness while you had them? Did you sell them because you replaced them with coins you enjoy more? Did you make a profit when you sold them? Do you have your health and enough money to buy more coins? Man, are you one lucky collector!
PS Perhaps you should avoid selling duplicates in the future and spare yourself the aggravation you are experiencing now.
Does your misfortune suggest that all of us with older holdings get our coins regraded?
I have a large number of coins that were graded 20-30 years ago.

That spot on the quarter reverse looks like it may go pretty deep.
...apparently All Coins Do Not Rule
I can imagine the graders mingle with the dealers at the major shows and they know they have quotas to meet..................I'll leave it at that.

I'd say you have an excellent eye for buying. You should be very happy with that. At least you are not buying them in their final resting place.
I'm in the let it go camp.
Another true story. I collect Tibet. I bought the John Jay Pittman 20 Srang gold coin. John Jay knew coins. Heritage had a raw "UNC" 20 Srang a few years later, around 2002. I bought it for $1250. I got it and believed it to be a modern counterfeit. It was too well made as the 20 Srangs were crudely minted by hand. I called Heritage. They asked for the coin back and sent it to ANACS. It came back AU details. I called ANACS and asked if they had sent it to a Tibetan specialist for authentication. They said "no". I sold it for $1000 in the holder as it was because I just didn't believe in it and was tired of it. I took my loss and moved on.
China got hot and Tibet with it. Fast forward to 2016. Heritage has that "make an offer" option. Someone sent me an offer of $4500 for that coin I hated. I laughed. That coin was so far in my rear-view mirror that it didn't matter.
If you hold on to the memory and emotional attachment to every coin, you are going to be miserable UNLESS everything you buy goes down in value. Then you'll laugh...at the ones you sold and cry about the ones you still have that are worth less.
I am in the how many hours did you spend tracking the coin after you sold it? Did you search the internet minute after minute? Are you a stalker? Also I am just kidding.
Have any of your coins gone down in grade after selling?
This is one of the silliest posts I've ever had the displeasure to read from a long-time member. Perhaps you should let us in on the quotas you imagine. The only things close to quotas I ever heard came from whining coin DEALERS who thought a certain percentage (quota?) of their submission should... whatever they wanted.
PS, Of course, some graders mingle with dealers for many reasons:
If I get a disease, I sure hope it doesn't erpitart.
Or....would I want it to erpitart?
@AllCoinsRule I think you are your own worst enemy. You're not the only one this happens to. You obviously have a well trained eye and incredible coins in your possession, so when you sell a coin, let it go and be done with it.
Later, Paul.
Since I do not sell my coins, this is an experience I have not had. I do have a few coins that I believe would garner a point above the slabbed opinion. However, I like them as they are and will not resubmit. If I were in the business, I am sure my opinion would change. Cheers, RickO
Allcoinrules if you can see those coins from your eyes you have a gift. That is impressive. I was only poking at you too.
@AllCoinsRule
I really feel for you but water under the bridge ..... I really think big name has some sort of influence
From this day forward (or pick any day in the past) market prices will be applied to coins that have huge price increases for higher grades or even add ons. Just look how many Bust Quarters and Halves with friction are graded mint state. Interest in these coins is how the TPG's make money in premiums. I enjoy coins that have premium eye appeal in that 'one grade back' holder. And they tend to CAC as well !

Point made. I recall a number of years ago a big hoard of War nickels were given very high grades at the time. Perhaps this is one of those.
