Have you ever bought back a coin that you recently sold?

I have sold some coins recently, to scale back the collection, including two coins that are not unusual, rare, or difficult to obtain, in theory, but they are really nice examples for what they are. When I look around the market, there are few coins out there with the attributes of these otherwise common coins. I have expressed to the dealer that if they are not sold in "x" period of time, that I would like to buy them back, at a level, and he is willing to return the coins back to me.

Have you ever repurchased a coin that you sold so recently?

    No, but I sold almost my entire collection in early 2007. Among those coins was a complete set of ChAU (55-58 today) Barber half dollars in a Dansco album. I wish I could get those coins back, but it
    ain't gonna happen---the set was quickly broken up.

    I have repurchased a few from folks I sold to. Did buy a coin from a dealer and traded it to a board member. Said board member eventually consigned it to Heritage where that same dealer bought it back and I almost bought it from him a second time. What goes around sometimes comes around.image

    Oh yes. And usually re-sold for a greater profit the next time. It's a wonderful hobby and business.

    Yup. It's called seller's remorse.image

    No. When I sell a coin, it's either because I shouldn't have bought it in the first place, or more likely, my collecting habits have changed and it doesn't fit. Ie., I first acquired PF 65 Barber coinage because finding nice mint state examples was too frustrating (especially for the half). Once I got the MS examples, the PFs were sold.

    Yes I have...

    I don't think its unusual to have a change of mind especially for nice examples that you described.
    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.

    No, but I do have some sellers remorse at first but then get over it.
    I do make it a point to really think it through so as to not regret selling something.

    A B&M dealer I frequent was robbed this year. About a month later, I was in his store, and a guy comes in to sell coins. The owner looked at them, asked if he had more, and the guy went back out to the car. Meanwhile, the police are called, as he was selling the same coins back, still in their 2x2's and boxed, that had been stolen earlier. The person selling them had bought them off CL, but gave up the person who had sold them to him.

    I have only sold a few of the coins that I have ever purchased... Reason being after viewing them in hand decided they weren`t the quality or the look that I look for... Therefore I would never buy them back...

    Many years ago when I first dabbled as a vest pocket dealer I sold an 1875-CC Twenty Cent piece in Choice AU. I sold it, bought it back a couple months later and sold it again. Today I wish I owned it because it was better than anything I've seen since I've been trying to collect a set of Twenty Cent pieces.

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
