THE REGENCY AUCTION 29
LOT 5
1/2C 1829 PCGS MS64 RB CAC
C-1, the only die marriage used to strike the entire mintage of
1829 half cents. This near-GEM quality example has a full,
vibrant luster with about 50% original mint red color that has
mellowed with accents of violet. The devices are sharply struck
up and the eye appeal is spectacular for the grade.
PCGS 6, NGC 2, CAC 1. No PCGS example has sold in
auction ever, while the last NGC coin sold in May 2003. The
current PCGS Price Guide value is $2,600 and that really is just
conjecture, as none have sold. The Newcomb-Green-Boyd-Newman-Missouri
Cabinet coin, a PCGS MS65 RB CAC sold for
$18,400 in January 2015. This coin will see very serious bidding
from half cent collectors!
PCGS# 1154 | ESTIMATE: $2,400+
LOT 6
1/2C 1855 PCGS MS66 BN CAC
Quality-wise, this SUPERB quality GEM is a near twin to the
one we just sold for $2,233 in our September 2018 Regency
Auction 28.
Highly lustrous, medium chocolate brown shows accents of
orange-red in the protected areas of the peripheries. There is a
touch of a violet overtone that gives this sharply struck GEM a
great look.
PCGS 11, NGC 14, CAC 7. The most recent example was the
one we just sold. for $2,233 and the current PCGS Price Guide
value lists a value of $2,150. There are NONE finer in the BN
designation at either service and this coin has an amazing
visual allure!
