THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 332<br />
$5 1913 PCGS PR66+ CAC<br />
What an amazing PQ Matte Proof. Everything about this<br />
coin SCREAMS quality and eye appeal. We are so proud to<br />
offer this important rarity in this auction!<br />
From an original mintage of just 99, all delivered on January<br />
13, 1913, perhaps a total of 60-75 survive today, which<br />
include those impounded in institutional collections such<br />
as the Smithsonian and American Numismatic Society.<br />
PCGS and NGC have combined graded 52 examples and<br />
likely includes duplication. This one is tied for second finest<br />
graded at PCGS.<br />
Awesome orange-gold coloration is the epitome of<br />
originality. Sharply struck devices are impressively pressed<br />
into the planchet. The sand blast finish leaves the surfaces<br />
with thousands of sparkling facets. A strong glass reveals<br />
perhaps one or two minor lines that do not detract and can<br />
only be seen at certain angles and we mention this only for<br />
full disclosure.<br />
PCGS 11, NGC 11, CAC 10. There are 3 listed in 66+ on<br />
the population report, but it is doubtful that three separate<br />
examples exist. Only 3 are graded finer. This is NOT the one<br />
that sold in the 2017 ANA auction. The current Collector’s<br />
Universe value is listed at $79,500 and while PCGS has<br />
graded 3 finer, all PR67, none have sold in nearly a dozen<br />
years! This coin, and the 1914 that follows presents a very<br />
rare opportunity for the advanced Proof gold collector. Who<br />
knows when you will have another chance to buy these two<br />
amazing 20th century rarities!<br />
