Color toned 1939 Merc sold to CU forum member, do you still have it?

A while back, maybe a few years ago, I sold a neat Merc to a forum member. It is one of those coins I wish I hadn't sold. Well I guess I would sell anything if offered enough money. I just wish I asked for more for this beauty:

Anybody else regret selling any color toned coins? Still got photos? If so please post them...

    Just two that I really,really regret selling and two others that would be nice to have back. All Mercury Dimes that were sold to forum members. A 19S that was graded MS66 PCGS with a very nice middle band and some light color. Fcloud owns it and barbs me everytime he gets a chance. A 18D that was graded MS65 PCGS that was close to FB and had some very,very nice color. A member bought it but I cannot remember who. A 25P Merc that was only graded MS64FB but was loaded with color and a 45S that was MS67 and again loaded with color. The 45S is used here by a couple of members off and on as a avatar.

    All I can say is.......image

    Carl,

    Although none of these are the coin, for some reason I seem to really like the 1939 dimes from all the mints...

    savoyspecial, I missed out on that one on your BST thread. I was a couple minutes to late. It would have looked great in my collection. Here is my newest addition to my Mexican 5 pesos

  • My entire collection of toners was liquidating a few years ago due to divorce image I have been able to do a really good job of picking up stunning Morgans to replace the one's I sold but the amazing Proof IHC's are going for moon money now so I don't think I can afford to replace them image


    Here are a few of the coins that I miss:

    As for stuff I've sold, no real regrets. Almost everything I sell is to free up cash so I can buy something nicer. Many times, my collection has shown itself to be built up, not simply added to. Sure, I really liked some of the coins I've sold, but there's a time for everything, and the rewards have been worth it.
