THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT <strong>29</strong>2<br />
$2.50 1846-O NGC<br />
MS63+ CAC<br />
This coin ranks<br />
among the FINEST<br />
KNOWN of this<br />
very scarce New<br />
Orleans mint quarter<br />
eagle. Estimates<br />
suggest that about<br />
nine and twelve<br />
Mint State coins<br />
survive and this one<br />
ranks as third finest<br />
graded at NGC,<br />
PCGS has graded<br />
just two coins finer.<br />
This is a particularly<br />
attractive, fully<br />
CHOICE example.<br />
Boasting a very strong strike for the date, the details are each very well defined, except for some light weakness on the central reverse.<br />
Even with that, it is very crisp for a 46-O. The surfaces are delicately toned and there are just a few minor scuffs and ticks that account<br />
for the assigned grade, but none are distracting. The eye appeal is very high end!<br />
PCGS 1, NGC 3, CAC 2. It is interesting to note that NO PCGS coin in MS63 or MS64 has sold in auction since 2004. An NGC<br />
MS63 sold in the 2017 FUN auction for $12,925 and an NGC MS64 in October 2011 for $23,000. The current Collector’s Universe<br />
value is listed at $21,000. This may well be the FINEST example that you will be able to obtain in quite some time. NGC has graded a<br />
64 and a 66 finer; PCGS has graded a 64 and 65 finer, but these all seem to be locked away in advanced collections. Truly worthy of a<br />
great collection!<br />

LOT <strong>29</strong>3<br />
$2.50 1847-D PCGS AU58<br />
From an original mintage of 15,784, PCGS CoinFacts estimates<br />
about 225 survive in all grades today. While “common” in terms<br />
of Dahlonega quarter eagles, it is rare in AU58 and VERY rare in<br />
Mint State.<br />
Just a touch of friction on the highest points and in the<br />
semi-reflective luster in the fields. Satiny throughout, the strike<br />
is strong and contrasts with the richness of the orange gold color.<br />
There are a few minor marks, the most serious of which is seen on<br />
the reverse.<br />
PCGS 21, NGC 44. The most recent example sold in August 2015 for $4,994 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at<br />
$5,000. Prior to that, one sold for $6,325. Only 22 coins are graded finer at PCGS. This one has not sold in auction for at least eight<br />
years. Good luck!<br />
