THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 256<br />
$1 1878 8 TAIL FEATHERS.<br />
PCGS PR64+ CAM CAC<br />
What an engaging high end<br />
Proof Morgan! The grade<br />
could not be more spot on!<br />
Super deep mirrors beam<br />
forcefully from all over. The<br />
mirrors exhibit bold clarity,<br />
are super clean, and are so<br />
reflective you almost need Ray<br />
Bans on view the coin. You<br />
don’t even have to twirl the<br />
coin to see the stunning “liquid<br />
mercury” like rolling of he<br />
mirrors. There is some light<br />
original golden brown toning<br />
around the rims and are some faint gold toning in the centers.This coin does have a silvery black and white cameo appearance.<br />
Miss Liberty and the details are thickly frosted and are fully struck. The eye appeal is tremendous!<br />
ONLY 500 were minted. PCGS 9, NGC 5, CAC 7. There are four graded PR64+ CAM at PCGS and we are highly suspect<br />
this coin has been in a few times seeking a PR65 designation. Examples of the 8 TF in PR64 and higher have so few<br />
auction appearances at all since 2004. Finding a PCGS CAC piece-impossible! In fact, the last PR64 Cameo (no +) Legend<br />
Numismatics sold, was in 2015 for $15,000 from a long time dealer who was buying it for his personal collection. This coin<br />
presents a welcome opportunity for any serious Proof Morgan collector to enhance their set. We know the price is fair-especially<br />
when you consider all the facts about how many have ever appeared!<br />

LOT 257<br />
$1 1880 PCGS PR67+ CAC<br />
WOW! At first glance this<br />
cataloger began humming “Blue<br />
Velvet” when this virtually<br />
perfect, richly toned SUPERB<br />
GEM came across his desk!<br />
Obviously the first thing that<br />
catches your gaze is the deep<br />
variegated blue and violet hues.<br />
Rose and orange-salmon hues<br />
blend with the varied blue/<br />
teal/violet tones. Once you get<br />
up close, you see the depth,<br />
vibrance, clarity, and smoothness<br />
of the underlying mirrors. They<br />
are clean, free of any lines or<br />
anything that can distract from the stunning eye appeal. This coin is TOTALLY original and very high end for the grade, everything about<br />
this coin is appropriate for the lofty designation and and is among the highest graded in the designation.<br />
PCGS 22, NGC 28, CAC 7. There are four graded PCGS PR67+ and only four are graded higher. The last regular PCGS PR67 was NOT<br />
CAC and sold in our July 2013 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong> for $17,250 and a PCGS/CAC PR68 sold for $38,188 in the 2015 ANA auction. An<br />
NGC PR67+ CAC sold in April 2013 for just a hair under $20,000. The current PCGS value is listed at $21,000 and it is worthy of a very<br />
strong bid and is fresh to the auction market, it is NOT a retread or recent upgrade, cross over, etc. This SUPERB GEM will delight any<br />
Proof Morgan collector!<br />
