There have been others, I suppose, but here are two I wouldn't mind having around still.
This one. Thin planchet rainbow Norse. MS63, old blue label slab.
If you see it in the wild LET ME KNOW! I’ve been trying to find it to buy it back for many years now.....
I had this graded by our hosts a decade ago and sold it shortly afterwards... I still miss it. AU55 If I remember correctly.
Well before I knew how to take a half decent photo also.

I sold this to David Kahn at the ANA in Philly. It's an O-114, R4+, XF40.
I've only sold a few coins and felt like it was good experience to negotiate the other way.
Wish I would have practiced with something else.

My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
I was looking at the photos of this piece today while I was working on a presentation for my local club. This 1865 Nickel Three Cent Piece has extensive clash marks. It is indicative of the problems the mint had in producing these coins. I think that the grade was MS-64, but it was years age when I sold it. I wish I still had the piece because its historical interest.
I've got some old photos somewhere of a Bust Half that I sold because I wanted one in a higher grade. A few months after I sold it that coin I found it living in a CAC'd PCGS holder at the higher grade I was seeking. This has probably happened to most of us. I mostly gave up that game and now I'm just trying to collect really nice coins at acceptable price points. Fighting for registry points isn't really my style.
The one I regret no pictures is the one and only bust dollar I once had, 1798 Large Eagle, PCGS VF30 and crusty!!!

I enjoyed owning this coin, but at the time, I needed to liquidate.

Sold the whole roll.....individually of course.

At one point owned three of the twenty something known 1886 VAM 20 in MS grades and two others in detail holders.
Should have kept one at least

Very clean bright white MS64 CAC. For some reason I really loved it.
In 50 years of collecting, the only one I regret letting get away. Mintage 30.
zero coins that ive sold that I regret selling.
some coins I have now if I did sell them would fit the bill.

More Than It's Chopped Up To Be
I miss this one!
The only 17.. coin I have owned.
WHAT!!??.....no CC end coin in the roll?
@HeatherBoyd could you add a You're A Bonehead button to click especially for this thread?
Where do I begin???
This one was purchased raw off EBay for$245 Buy it now. Graded MS-62 Chop mark
and is tied for finest with one other.
No pix, but a $2.50 Indian rattler MS63 1911 D that I sold in 1999.

Here's one I'd rather not have parted with...
That's incredible.
1935 DDR
Not a coin but still wish I hadn't sold it. Sold it years ago on eBay, I wonder if anyone here might have bought it.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
I don't have a pic, but I regret selling my 1870-cc Quarter in OHG 25 (now a 30-35)
Here’s mine
My only key date Lincoln. It was part of a trade for a new Indian head quarter eagle and Morgan dollar.
So many I could choose, these two stand out at the moment
The 60lb bag of unsearched silver dimes that my grandfather bought in the 70’s that was without warning sold for melt about a decade ago before I ever had a chance to really study its contents...I can at least confirm there weren’t any 1916-D’s. I would kill for the opportunity to hunker down and search it all for varieties.

No photos, but I have owned two slider 23S walkers that were head and shoulders nicer than the AU55
in my set. The profit motive got the best of me both times....
Sold all my silver commemoratives a while back and I really miss these

Damn!
Don't quote me on that.
Some pretty awesome coins here! I pine away for a certain AU53 1873 Trade Dollar... no picture... only memories... ;-)

I would not say that I completely regret selling this coin, but I sure wouldn't mind having it back.
