THE REGENCY AUCTION 29
LOT 250
$1 1895-S PCGS MS62+ CAC
In the aftermath of the Panic
of 1893, the mintages of silver
dollars dropped dramatically.
Every issue from 1893 to 1895
is considered either a KEY or
semi-key date in the series. With
a mintage of only 400,000, the
95-S is a semi-key that is scarce
in Mint State grades.
Flashy and brilliant lustrous
surfaces beam from all over.
Well struck devices do stand
out, but there are a few bag
marks which account for the
grade, evenly distributed on
the obverse, none of which are singularly distracting. Both sides are accented by a flashy, semi-reflective texture to the fields. The
quality is above average for what you might expect for the grade level.
PCGS 257, NGC 139, CAC 16. There are only four PCGS MS62+ graded at PCGS. None have ever sold in auction. The current
PCGS value is $5,450. The last PCGS/CAC MS62 sold back in August 2013 for $5,288 and a PCGS/CAC MS63 sold in the recent
ANA auction for $6,000. A coin that will certainly delight anyone looking to add a nice Mint State 95-S dollar to their set.
Good luck.

LOT 251
$1 1896 PCGS MS66 DMPL
Highly reflective DMPL luster beams in
the fields. The flashy mirrors are deep and
have a bold clarity. Standing out against
the mirrors with a bold contrast are the
frosted, well struck up devices. The initial
look is almost that of a full Proof. PCGS
has graded just a single MS67 DMPL
finer, making this one of the FINEST
available to collectors.
PCGS 23. NGC 3. The most recent
example sold for $6,875 This coin sold
for $4,320 in December 2017. The current
PCGS value is $6,000 and with just a
single coin finer, this is a coin that will see strong bidding from DMPL collectors.
