Last year I sold my 50 piece Commem set including a wonderfully toned Roanoke. Ever since I sold the set I have been having separation anxiety. It used to be a PCGS MS66. Now its been upgraded to a PCGS MS67. I had to pay about twice what I originally paid for the coin but I told myself If I ever found it again I would pay about whatever it took to get it back in my possession. I found it on Pinnacle Rarities website today. I am very happy as this is about the only coin from my whole set that I absolutely had to have. Now she's home. Very happy today. Here are pics on the coin I had trueviewed and Pinnacle's obverse pics. Tell me what you think.

Seller's remorse?
Nice coin, glad you got it back, too bad you let it go in the first place.
I feel the same way about a certain 1873 Trade Dollar.

Congrats!
I think it's a great looking coin and I would have had separation anxiety, as well. I'm also quite happy that you found it and can rest easily.

That's great, and it's a beauty! Glad you got it back!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Love this! Obviously the coin is the prize, but I can feel your joy as I read and type! Awesome!
Great job, congratulations !!!
That is one of the most beautiful Commems I have ever seen. Congrats on getting her back!
Glad it found it’s way home, must feel great.
I made a spectacular 1884cc at PCGS probably ten years ago and then sold to a YN. Told him if he ever wanted to sell it back I'd make him whole at least no matter the market. Well about 6 years later he contacted me as he was going off to college and needed money. I paid market value to him which was whole plus 30% or so. I was very pleased to have it back.
Then I retired, moved to a home I could afford to pay cash for, and needed to sell it again to do the deal (along with about 150 GSA's and graded CC's).
If I ever see it again, I'd buy it back in a heartbeat. About one of a dozen of coins I have owned that I can remember exactly what it looks like even years later.

Would have been cheaper to keep her in the first place.
Stunning coin, definitely deserved that upgrade and then some!

My mistake. CROATAN wasn't there was it?

What a cool story! You're very lucky to get her back!
Good for you! It's a pretty coin!
Cool! Unlikely that it worked out, but good for you.
That’s a very heart-touching story indeed! Only a collector will understand the feeling of being separated from your prized possession or favourite coin.. Congratulations for finding your coin, doesn’t really matter how much more money you paid for it...
That was certainly one to bring back. Gorgeous toning and flawless surfaces! I get the feeling that you'll be keeping this one off the market for good now.

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
A number of coins I have sold recently are reappearing in the marketplace in higher grade holders. This is a lesson for sellers I think.
Commems and Early Type
@CommemDude, yes, same here. Many of the coins in the set I sold have popped up on various websites and ebay in higher grades. I think I would have been better off sending the whole set in for regrade instead of selling it for what I did. Probably could have made a lot more money. Several of my ex-coins made significant moves in value. Oh, well. Im starting a new, nicer, set.
That's a beauty alright!!
I know the feeling When you miss a very rare item in auction and it takes years for another example to come up I wasn’t going to let it happen a second time

Gorgeous!
Congratulations on finding your coin again.... vast difference between the TV and the slab shot....but we know that about coin photography. Since you are doing a new, and nicer set (your words)... If you sell your set again, keep that one and save the repeat pain.
Cheers, RickO
I hope i am never put in a position to have to sell my favorites coins- congrats on getting it back!
