THE REGENCY AUCTION 29
LOT 261
$1 1885 PCGS PR66+ CAM
CAC
A coin that is totally unlike
what you normally see for an
1885. This coin has a SUPERB
look with exceptionally deep
contrast. The eye appeal is
very high end! Deep, highly
reflective mirrored fields
beam from all over and have
a headlight-like blazing look
when viewed in a light. The
highly frosted devices are
razor sharp in strike and stand
out vividly from the fields.
Totally untoned, both sides are
a blistering brilliant silver. The
eye appeal is very high end and wonderful!
Only 930 Proofs were struck. PCGS 22, NGC 13, CAC 11. There are only TWO PCGS PR66+ CAMs on the Population Report;
the last one to sell in auction was CAC approved and brought $14,688 in the 2017 FUN auction. The only other one to sell in
auction was back in October 2012 for $14,100 (was not CAC). Only three examples have graded finer, the finest being a single
PR68 CAM. The finest to ever sell was a PR67 CAM, a coin that did not have CAC approval A great coin for any collector of
high end Proof Morgans.

$1 1889 PCGS PR65 CAM
CAC
A gloriously toned and highly
reflective GEM Proof Morgan
dollar. Every thing about this coin
screams high end quality and
originality.
The fields are highly reflective
with a bold clarity and brilliant
depth. The surfaces are glassy
smooth and devoid of any
distracting marks or lines. Richly
and deeply toned surfaces are
not too dark, and offer beautiful
violet, blue, orange-gold, and
rose tone. The sharply struck
devices are frosty and stand out wonderfully against the mirrored fields. The contrast is great!
Only 811 Proof dollars were struck in 1889. PCGS 17, NGC 9, CAC 5. Two examples in November 2017 realizing $6,300 and $5,880.
This GEM sold in March 2012 for $6,613 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $7,750. There are a mere 14 coins graded
finer in the CAMEO designation at PCGS. A real prize for the Proof Morgan collector.
