That a nice 10/9 Classic Head! Don't you wish you knew where she is now.

I sold a Whitman book of Morgans some years ago before I developed and interest. Really love to have that back.

Nice thing about old age.
One tends to forget past mistakes.

Okay, maybe my former 1893-S Morgan in G-08 would be nice to have back.
And ...
Oops, memories are flooding back :-(

I buy and sell a lot, and as many times as I've seen this topic... I couldn't think of anything I missed having. ...but ...

I once had, and sold, a "real" 1883 racketeer nickel. It had little of the gold plating remaining, and was pretty worn. What stood out about it, was that they had taken the time to add a reeded edge. The edge was very well done. I still think of it as the only "genuine" racketeer nickel that I've ever seen. I wish I'd have kept that coin.

I regret selling an 1896-S quarter, in PCGS AU58.

Back in 2009 and 2010 I sold a good portion of my collection to raise money to take my family on a trip to Europe.

I had two nice, original proof British India 1/12 Annas and several BU Queen Victoria Half Rupees that I sold.

Seeing what has happened to the price of British India coins since then, I wish I had held on to them.

The same is true of a nice AU 1895-S Barber dime that also helped finance our trip.

But, the trip was worthwhile and we still talk about what a wonderful experience we had.

Good call Paul, you can't buy family memories like that. That's something you'll always have.

52Raymo,

You are 100% correct, but that 1901 Proof 1/12 Anna sure was pretty!

I sold it to a collector in India, so at least it went home.

Finding a good home certainly takes a bit of the sting out of it.

I'd have to say my three Kennedy halves that were "no FG". Sold them last year and got around $925 for all three but it would be nice to have them back.

Purchased unc cleaned and artificially retoned by me. Still, great eye appeal.

It could be accurately said that I regret selling every single coin I've ever sold.
