THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong> LOT 321 $5 1836 PCGS MS64 CAC This is a gorgeous Classic Head half eagle! As a type, these rarely come so fine. The short lived series, struck from 1834 to 1838, can be quite the challenge to collect in Choice Mint State, especially with a CAC bean. The Classic Head design by William Kneass is a transitional type, straddling the old tenor gold coins (1795-1834) and the long running Liberty head series. By the 1820s, the value of gold in the half eagle exceeded the $5 face value. The majority of the mintages were exported and melted, the profit pocketed. In 1834, the content of gold coins was changed, and the design changed. The Classic Head half eagle saw much more extensive circulation than the earlier types, so finding a CHOICE Mint State piece is indeed a challenge. The present coin has a great look. Sharply struck devices stand out with a strong definition, on both sides. The obverse die had broken by the time this one was struck with a bold bisecting die crack. The golden surfaces are frosty and offer a strong satin sheen to them, accented by a swirling cartwheel bloom. There are a few minor hints of contact, which are not serious and do not detract from the otherwise stunning eye appeal. This near-GEM is bested by perhaps as many as four coins graded at PCGS, making this one perfect for any high grade type set or specialized set of Classic Head fives. PCGS 16, NGC 7, CAC 3. The only PCGS/CAC coin to ever sell in auction realized $25,201 in June 2018. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $26,000. The Pogue coin was just marginally finer, graded MS64+. A GEM will cost $70,000+! Good luck! PCGS# 8174 | ESTIMATE: $22,000+ 158
THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong> LOT 322 $5 1846-C PCGS AU55+ CAC Looks are deceiving. At first glance we thought his coin was Uncirculated. No, we don’t need stronger glasses. The coin actually looks that good. It is HIGH END for sure. Amazing surfaces are almost full Mint State quality. Save for one small tick, the surfaces are super clean. The surfaces also have a thick satiny texture. A surprising luster beams vividly from all over. You can tell nothing has ever been done to this coin. Both sides are a wonderful and totally original deeper yellow gold color. The clear reason why this is not an AU 58+, there is some weakness in the strike on the eagleís neck. All other details are super frosty and are fully struck. The eye appeal is beyond exceptional especially since this is C mint! PCGS 7, NGC 12, CAC 3. This is the ONLY PCGS AU55+ graded. It has never been sold via auction. The consignor told us it is fresh to the market. It should be known that the last AU55 sold in 2006! The rarity of this date and grade cannot be disputed. We think the Collectorís Universe estimate of $7,900 is way off as are all the AU values. If you collect C Mint $5 or just $5, this is a coin that will thrill you. It belongs in a great collection! PCGS# 8227 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ LOT 323 $5 1846-D PCGS AU53 This is a rare AU survivor of this difficult date. PCGS CoinFacts estimates a survival of 140 examples in all grades, and David Akers and Doug Winter both observed that most survivors are VF or XF grade. This example shows just a few minor marks, the most noticeable is on Liberty’s cheek. A bright golden color shows ample surviving satiny luster in the fields. The devices are sharply struck up and the eye appeal is better than most you will see, as this date often comes highly abraded and many have been cleaned or otherwise impaired. PCGS 16, NGC 18. There has not been one sold in auction since October 2011, realizing $4,169. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $4,500. Rarely appearing in auction any finer, the last AU55 graded by PCGS sold in July 2006 and the last PCGS AU58 sold in March 2006! If you are collecting AU half eagles from the Dahlonega mint, be sure to bid on this one! LOT 324 $5 1850-D NGC AU55 CAC Here is a highly collectible, and very scarce southern branch mint half eagle. Anyone who has studied Dahlonega and Charlotte mint gold coins knows that they are extremely hard to find in ORIGINAL, uncleaned, dipped, and/or conserved condition. This is evidenced by the CAC population figures, as well as notes from David Akers, Doug Winter, and other authorities. This nice AU55 has a great look overall, with great orange-gold coloration with accents of olive patination in the fields. Nicely struck up in most places, there is just a touch of weakness, as usual at the right left obverse periphery. There are some minor marks from its brief stay in commerce, none of which impede the wonderful eye appeal. PCGS# 8228 | ESTIMATE: $3,600+ PCGS 16, NGC 28, CAC 4. This coin sold for $6,000 in November 2017 before selling in April 2018 for $5,520.; as the ONLY CAC-approved AU55 to sell in auction, we think it really should sell for more; the current Collector’s Universe value is $6,500. A very challenging issue that displays a look that even the pickiest of collectors will enjoy! PCGS# 8245 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+ 159
