THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />

LOT 264<br />

$1 1892 PCGS PR65+ CAM<br />

CAC<br />

A premium quality GEM Proof<br />

1892 Morgan dollar. This is<br />

a highly reflective and ultra<br />

flashy with a blinding mirrored<br />

finish to the fields. Smooth,<br />

icy mirrored fields boast<br />

the epitome of quicksilver<br />

brilliance. They are deep and<br />

beaming offering a strong<br />

contrast to the frosted struck<br />

devices. The eye appeal<br />

is quite nice, with just the<br />

slightest hint of clear gold that<br />

frames both sides.<br />

PCGS 9, NGC 17, CAC 6. There are two PCGS PR65+ CAM graded, neither has ever sold in auction. The last PCGS/CAC<br />

PR65 CAM sold in January 2013 for $11,750 and no PCGS PR66 CAM CAC ever sold in auction. The current PCGS value is<br />

listed at $7,500 and we think this one could sell in excess of that amount.<br />

PCGS# 87327 | ESTIMATE: $6,750+<br />

LOT 265<br />

$1 1902 PCGS PR65 CAC<br />

Here is a wonderfully eye<br />

appealing GEM 1902 dollar.<br />

Starting in 1902 the mint<br />

changed the way Proof dies were<br />

prepared, and rather than having<br />

a frosty devices and highly<br />

polished mirrored fields, the<br />

entire surface of the dies were<br />

polished, leaving every part of<br />

the design reflective.<br />

This stunning PR65 has a great<br />

look! The fields are richly<br />

mirrored and the devices are<br />

sharply struck up. There are a<br />

couple of tiny toning dots on the<br />

reverse which will identify it for posterity.<br />

Only 777 Proofs were struck. PCGS 27, NGC 45, CAC 8. The most recent PCGS/CAC PR65 to sell in auction realized $6,900 in<br />

October 2011. This coin ahs been off the market since 2012. This impressive GEM will delight any Proof Morgan collector, keep in mind<br />

these are not as common as you might think. The current Collector’s Universe value is $5,750. Rare any finer.<br />

PCGS# 7337 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+<br />
