THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 SAN ANTONIO NOVEMBER 15 | HYATT REGENCY RIVERWALK LOT 1 FUGIO 1787 PCGS MS64 BN CAC STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils, Pointed Rays type; Newman 13-X, W-6855 variety, rated as R-2. Struck under the authority of the American Congress, the Fugio coppers, also referred to as Cents, are among the most popular “colonial” issues, and one of the few that, thanks to the Bank of New York Hoard, can be obtained with little difficulty in Mint State. The design is very symbolic, relating directly to Continental Currency notes from 1776 and inspired by Benjamin Franklin. The present near-GEM likely traces its origin to that source. Steely brown surfaces are even and devoid of any serious marks or lines, and totally free of any kind of environmental damage. Glimpses of orange cling to the upper left rings of the reverse chain. Sharply struck from clashed dies, the eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 87, NGC 40, CAC 32. This coin last sold in the 2017 FUN auction for $3,995. Earlier, it realized $4,888 in the 2011 FUN auction. The current PCGS value is listed at $4,850 and this near-GEM will see very strong bidding indeed. This coin represents a lot of history! PCGS# 883 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ 8
THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 2 1/2C 1793 PCGS AU53 CAC A “GEM” of an AU! Among the first coins struck for circulation from the fledgling Philadelphia mint, the 1793 half cent is a very important and extremely popular issue, a one-year only type that is highly sought by collectors in all grades, from environmentally damaged low grade examples to GEM Mint State. Very RARE in high quality collector grades like this, even more so with such amazing eye appeal. This coin has only the lightest traces of circulation. A few stray marks can be seen on otherwise smooth, hard copper surfaces. Unlike most of the examples of this date we see either in auction or on the bourse, which come with extensive wear or environmental issues, this coin has a very pleasing medium brown coloration, with only a touch of wear. There are a few tiny marks and scratches that can be seen under a glass, and they mostly blend into the surrounding chocolate brown and olive iridescent toning. The devices are sharply impressed into the planchet, the eye appeal is superior to the vast majority of the known survivors of the date. The 35,334 half cents struck in this first year were all coined between May and July 1793. The design, featuring Liberty’s head facing left with a liberty cap on top of a pole is directly related to the 1781 Libertas Americana medals struck in Paris on designs suggested by Ben Franklin. According to Walter Breen, a who’s who of early mint employees are thought to have worked on the designs, including David Rittenhouse, Robert Birch, and Adam Eckfeldt. The present coin is from the Breen-3, Cohen-3 die pairing. PCGS 13, NGC 10, CAC 1. This coin has the incorrect PCGS # on the insert, listed as 1001 for a 1793 with the RB designation. No CAC-approved example has ever sold in auction in AU53. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $40,000 and with its CAC-endorsement and high end look, this coin should realize in excess of that! A very desirable numismatic trophy from the infant years of the republic. Bound for a wonderful collection of half cents or early type coins. PCGS# 1001 | ESTIMATE: $35,000+ 9
