THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 241<br />
$1 1885-O PCGS MS65 CAC<br />
A beautiful, rainbow toned GEM. Arching bands of aubergine,<br />
gold, emerald, sapphire, and ruby cover about 60% of the<br />
lustrous surfaces of the obverse. An 8+ on our color scale where<br />
10 is the best. Worthy of a premium bid and is a very nice<br />
example for the collector.<br />
PCGS# 7162 | ESTIMATE: $1,250+<br />
LOT 242<br />
$1 1885-S PCGS MS65<br />
A crisply struck and vibrantly lustrous, this GEM 1885-S is<br />
visually very impressive. We are not entirely sure why it did not<br />
receive a CAC bean! The frosty cheek has a couple of minor<br />
ticks, but the eye appeal is wonderful!<br />
PCGS 611, NGC 243. The current PCGS Price Guide value<br />
is listed at $1,700 and most examples have sold in the<br />
$1,000-$1,500 range. Rare any finer, this exceptional GEM will<br />
be a delight for any Morgan collector.<br />
PCGS# 7164 | ESTIMATE: $1,000+<br />
LOT 243<br />
$1 1885-S PCGS MS65+ CAC<br />
A blazingly lustrous GEM! Bold, swirling cartwheels roll<br />
unimpeded on both sides, bringing out the impressive definition<br />
to the razor sharp strike. Ms. Liberty is frosty and her cheek is<br />
especially clean. Honestly, we can see this coin (no guarantees)<br />
grading higher one day. The eye appeal is exceptional.<br />
PCGS 648, NGC 244, CAC 54. There are only 39 graded<br />
MS65+ at PCGS, the most recent of which sold for $2,880 in<br />
June 2018. Keep in mind that the value goes up in 66, we sold<br />
one in July for $4,465 and one in May for $5,405. This coin,<br />
with its CAC endorsement, will realize a very strong price.<br />
Good luck!<br />
PCGS# 7164 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+<br />
LOT 244<br />
$1 1887-S PCGS MS66<br />
Ex. M.J.O. Collection, as noted on the insert.<br />
Sharply struck and offering a bold rolling cartwheel luster this<br />
coin ranks among the top three dozen examples graded by<br />
PCGS. A halo of mottled amber, blue, gold, and olive-russet<br />
frames the brilliant silver center of the obverse, the reverse<br />
totally untoned with a delicate touch of semi-PL reflection. A<br />
strong glass reveals a tiny tick or two on the otherwise frosted<br />
and clean cheek. The eye appeal is very nice.<br />
PCGS 31, NGC 9. There are just five coins graded finer. The<br />
last one sold in our May 2018 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong> for $5,053<br />
and prior to that, there were two APRs in 2018 for $3,900 and<br />
$4,080. The current PCGS value is listed at $6,000 and keep in<br />
mind that we sold two MS66+ examples this year for $28,200<br />
in January and $44,650 in July. This coin does present a great<br />
opportunity to the advanced Morgan dollar collector.<br />
Good luck!<br />
PCGS# 7180 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+<br />
