In honor of Memorial Day, post a coin that is "gone but not forgotten."

This NJ Colonial will forever be missed. Not only a rare type (Head Left, 49-F) but very eye appealing! Despite its worn condition (PCGS F15), it has a very smooth planchet devoid of distracting marks or defects. It also displays this incredible circ-cam detail that colonial collectors seek out. Lovely tan over chocolate mocha. Ex. Gilbert Steinberg Collection.
Although I should have held onto this one tightly, it had to go to fund new adventures...

I'm not sure what I was thinking letting this one go. For type, it's a pretty tough coin to beat. Frost, frost, frost, frost, FROST!

This one. Originally graded by PCGS as 64. That pissed me off so I sold it. Got good money....BUT..... then it goes to a 66.

Since I missed it, I got another 1871.

Not the same but still one of my ULTRA faves.

Ah well.........................

Here's a coin that I previously owned, and had originally purchased raw for $275 back in 1973 as my $20 Liberty Type Coin.

Thirty years later, I sold it for a nice profit after PCGS graded it MS-65 (submitted Raw), which at the time was top pop (1/0).

1892-S PCGS MS-65 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle

Sold this a few years back, very pretty coin (for a barber) but not a part of my core series so she went off to a new home.

I will never get over selling my 1888 S Morgan Ms 63 in an old green holder. Very bad decision on my part as that coin was beautiful, smooth, clean and well struck. It was also sentimental to me. What in the world was I thinking??

Well, I hope our beloved Host won't be angry? Long ago, about 2000, I literally found a penny on the sidewalk. It so happen to be the famous " 1999 Wide A.M." Lincoln Cent. This new variety was recently discovered. Then, I sent it in across the street (NGC). Sorry, PCGS. It came back a 64 RB! I was very satisfied with the grade. Here's the regret and Memorial part. At that time it was a newly discovered variety, as I mentioned earlier. It was the FIRST NGC 1999 graded in any grade for that particular variety! Yes, I did end up selling it back in 2005/6 for $200. What an idiot I am. I wish I still had it in my collection. Oh well. Happy Memorial Day!
