    I sold this to David Kahn at the ANA in Philly. It's an O-114, R4+, XF40.
    I've only sold a few coins and felt like it was good experience to negotiate the other way.
    Wish I would have practiced with something else. :'(

    I've got some old photos somewhere of a Bust Half that I sold because I wanted one in a higher grade. A few months after I sold it that coin I found it living in a CAC'd PCGS holder at the higher grade I was seeking. This has probably happened to most of us. I mostly gave up that game and now I'm just trying to collect really nice coins at acceptable price points. Fighting for registry points isn't really my style.

    The one I regret no pictures is the one and only bust dollar I once had, 1798 Large Eagle, PCGS VF30 and crusty!!! :(

    I enjoyed owning this coin, but at the time, I needed to liquidate.

    At one point owned three of the twenty something known 1886 VAM 20 in MS grades and two others in detail holders.

    Should have kept one at least

    zero coins that ive sold that I regret selling.

    some coins I have now if I did sell them would fit the bill.

    No pix, but a $2.50 Indian rattler MS63 1911 D that I sold in 1999.

    Not a coin but still wish I hadn't sold it. Sold it years ago on eBay, I wonder if anyone here might have bought it.

    I don't have a pic, but I regret selling my 1870-cc Quarter in OHG 25 (now a 30-35)

    My only key date Lincoln. It was part of a trade for a new Indian head quarter eagle and Morgan dollar.

    The 60lb bag of unsearched silver dimes that my grandfather bought in the 70’s that was without warning sold for melt about a decade ago before I ever had a chance to really study its contents...I can at least confirm there weren’t any 1916-D’s. I would kill for the opportunity to hunker down and search it all for varieties.

    I would not say that I completely regret selling this coin, but I sure wouldn't mind having it back.
