Post a coin that you regret selling.

coin22lover

I'd like to try to have a thread where everyone posts coins they regret selling (perhaps even there's an outside chance a buyer will see it and offer it back to the mourner). Here's one I regret selling, my first 1807 Capped Bust half dollar...an obviously undergraded specimen (lost the reverse pic, sorry).

Oh gawd, too many to post...

shorecoll

That's a really long list. Money wise, a dozen XF-AU Bust dollars back before anyone else cared about them. No pics, they'd be tear stained anyway.

Oh man, why did you sell your 1853 NA quarter? I hope you at least got crazy money for it.

drddm

Unfortunately, I regret selling many coins, believe me, if i could have kept them, I would

dizzyfoxx

I don't think there's enough space on this forum.

BaseballAbs

I'm a hoarder so i think I still have everything

Flatwoods

After seeing richardshipps' quarter I'm feeling sad.
I'd hate to have to sell that one.

ALL OF THEM

By my count, close to 800 coins in all, including over 200 beautifully toned morgans, over 100 Barber quarters, close to 200 shield nickels (MS, white proofs, rainbow proofs, varieties, patterns and errors), and sets of two cents, Lib nickels, Indian $2.50, proof sets by year, 1794 cents by variety, early type, and lots of mscellaneous coins over the years.

Biggest regret - that I didn't image all of my earlier sets & collections. At least I have images of all the Morgans and Barbers.

I don't regret selling my seated dollar set as it was the right thing to do at the time and it paid off handsomely. I do, however, regret not keeping this single coin out of the set:

Meltdown

Here's a couple I wish I would have kept.

MidLifeCrisis

Well, these...among others...
















But regret is fluid and relative. I would love to add any of those coins back to my collection...but not in exchange for any of the coins currently in my collection.

etexmike

The last time I posted images of this coin was in a thread very similar to this one.

There are several coins that I regret letting get away but this one is at the top of the list.

coinman420, hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like there was a mintmark on that 1909 $5... was it an O???

I sort of regret selling several, but I almost always sold the coins to buy other coins I wanted more since I can't have them all.

I regret not listing this one in the right eBay category when I sold it but it went to a forum member so no big deal



And maybe this one, mostly because it was the first certified coin I ever bought and my favorite design (also went to a forum member):

I miss my 1955 AU55 DDO Lincoln Cent. Sold it about 7 years ago and don't have the pics anymore.

AUandAG

I'd like to say that I have no regrets as I kept them the proper length of time. Now, other
get to keep them.

Errrr, maybe I do regret selling roadrunner 14+ ounces of gold at $775 per oz. But, then
at the time I was doubling my money and that's my general rule. If you can double your
money it's the right time to sell.

bob

PS: Brian, do you still have it and would you consider selling back at $900?

I regret that I did not see that 1853 NA quarter when it was for sale. Great coin! Perfect look!

richardshipp

Well... since 3 folks have commented on the NA Quarter I had... sold... regret selling... now I regret it even more.

The truth is that I love all the coins I have and have had... but that said this is a hobby and I only use my disposable monies to participate in it. While I wish that I would have been able to hang on to the quarter, there are times in life we have to make tough choices and that was one.

Maybe some day I'll find an even better one and be in a position to get and keep it.

crazyhounddog

Someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse

Billet7

All my coins are junk, so I never regret selling them Richards 1853 no arrows is a toughie. I would regret selling it too! (Along with many others listed in this post)

fcloud

No sellers remorse here. I keep everything I would regret later on.

Still have the 3-legger my wife gave me for Christmas 1977, and the 1942/41 she gave me for Christmas 1978.

I've had seller's remorse a few times but not as many times as I've had buyer's remorse.

I wish you regreted selling it to me!!

anablep

Nothing I've sold is irreplaceable, but I've had enough regrets and I learned to hold on to a few I would have sold earlier on.

Griv

I will miss this one the most!
