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

LOT 333<br />

$5 1914 PCGS PR67 CAC<br />

What an honor it is for LRCA to offer this stunning beauty!<br />

This is such an impressive SUPERB GEM Matte Proof Half<br />

Eagle. Tied for second FINEST graded, and one look at this<br />

AMAZING coin, and you can easily see why!<br />

This is a very RARE date, from an original mintage of only<br />

125, and perhaps today, around 60-75 survive in all grades.<br />

Keep in mind that at least three examples are permanently<br />

impounded in museum collections.<br />

The matte surfaces are wonderful with their fine, sand blast<br />

texture; the thousands of tiny facets sparkle when they are<br />

hit by the light. It is also totally original showing off a great,<br />

olive gold color with rich tan overtones. This is not your<br />

typical bright yellow conserved example that has lost all<br />

of its original character. Every detail is sharply struck and<br />

the eye appeal cannot be beat. For the advanced collector<br />

of 20th century gold, this amazing coin presents a very rare<br />

bidding opportunity.<br />

PCGS 2, NGC 5, CAC 2. ONLY a single PCGS PR67 CAC<br />

has ever sold in auction, realizing $111,625 in November<br />

2015. There is a single PCGS PR68 CAC that sold in March<br />

2017 for nearly $250,000. This coin has a SUPERB stunning<br />

look, that will delight even the most jaded of collectors--we<br />

have had a hard time putting it down--you will too! After<br />

30+ years of operations, the fact PCGS has only graded two<br />

examples this high and one finer speaks volumes to the rarity<br />

of this date and the infrequency they appear in auction!<br />

Congratulations to the winning bidder, you just bought an<br />

amazing gold rarity!<br />
