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

LOT 312<br />

$3 1860-S PCGS AU53 CAC<br />

This is one of the rarest and most UNDER<br />

rated dates in better grades (AU and higher).<br />

The quality of this coin is VERY HIGH<br />

END! Overall, the surfaces appear clean.<br />

Only with a strong glass can you find a<br />

scattered tiny tick or two along with a light<br />

old cut on the face. Nothing is major or<br />

stands out. A surprising luster mixes with<br />

semi-prooflike mirrors and beams boldly<br />

from all over. That is unusual for a 60-S. Both<br />

sides are an original deep gold/orange color.<br />

There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss<br />

Liberty and the details are well struck and do<br />

have strong frost. The eye appeal is fantastic!<br />

PCGS 12, NGC 12, CAC 3. The last PCGS AU 53 to sell in auction brought $5,875 in December 2015-a long time ago! The current<br />

Collectorís Universe Value is $7,900. We expect this beautiful coin to bring closer to the CU value.<br />

PCGS# 7981 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+<br />

LOT 313<br />

$3 1874 PCGS MS64+ CAC<br />

Exquisite! This “common” $3 is anything but in GEM<br />

grade. This 64+ is oh so close to GEM quality and we<br />

have seen coins in 65 holders that look the same. We<br />

think PCGS got this one 100% right!<br />

The luster is blistering in its fiery brilliance. The<br />

dramatic satin sheen grabs the viewer from accross<br />

the room. Up close, the radial luster rolls along with<br />

a superb vibrance. Impressive striking definition<br />

on both sides, the dies imparted full details with an<br />

exacting blow. The glowing fields are marred by just<br />

the most microscopic ticks that are only visable using<br />

a strong glass, but none of these have any affect on the exceptional eye appeal.<br />

PCGS 106, NGC 74, CAC 25. PCGS has graded just 9 in MS64+, the most recent of which sold in March 2014 in an online only<br />

auction for $8,250. More recently a regular MS64/CAC sold for $11,400 in March 2018 and a PCGS MS65 CAC sold in November<br />

2017 for $12,000. We know the current PCGS value is too low for this coin! A great example for the date or type!<br />

LOT 314<br />

$3 1878 PCGS MS64<br />

The $3 gold series is full of low mintage issues, leaving only a few<br />

dates that in Mint State, are considered type coins, and the 1878 is<br />

one of them. This one is a pleasing deep orange-gold with hints of<br />

rose and steely blue. Well struck and very eye appealing, there are<br />

just the slightest of tiny ticks noted under close scrutiny. Bold and<br />

satiny, this coin has a great look!<br />

PCGS# 7998 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+<br />

PCGS 788, NGC 438. The most recent PCGS-graded coin to sell<br />

brought $4,800 in the recent ANA auction, and the current PCGS<br />

value is listed at $4,850. This original coin should find itself at home<br />

in a nice gold type set.<br />

PCGS# 8000 | ESTIMATE: $3,800+<br />
