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

LOT 338<br />

$10 1868 PCGS AU55 CAC<br />

Due to a limited mintage of 10,630, this date is VERY RARE in any<br />

grade. The present orange-gold toned example is very pleasing and<br />

high end with only a touch of rub on the surfaces. Accents of peach,<br />

orange, and rose impart a strong, original eye appeal. This coin is very<br />

high end and worthy of a great collection of Liberty $10s.<br />

PCGS 19, NGC 25, CAC 6. The last PCGS/CAC example sold<br />

back in April 2012, bringing $4,025. The current PCGS value is<br />

listed at $3,800 and it would not come as a shock if this RARE<br />

$10 brings a price in excess of that. Keep in mind that the<br />

Hall-Simpson Collection contained an AU58, and the finest is only MS62.<br />

PCGS# 8653 | ESTIMATE: $3,200+<br />

LOT 339<br />

$10 1869 PCGS AU55<br />

Here is a VERY RARE early<br />

Motto eagle, one of the FINEST<br />

graded from an original mintage<br />

of 1,830 and PCGS estimates a<br />

total survival of 57. Typically<br />

seen in VF and XF grades, there<br />

are just three examples graded<br />

higher than the present AU55<br />

at PCGS.<br />

While the fields show some<br />

friction and marks from<br />

circulation and bag storage,<br />

they do show a wealth of<br />

reflective sparkle that you<br />

would expect to see on a coin<br />

that saw such a low mintage. The devices show bold striking definition with barely any perceptible wear on the reliefs. Olive-peach hues<br />

over orange-gold patinated surfaces give this coin a totally original and high end look.<br />

PCGS 7, NGC 7. The last one to sell realized $12,925 in the 2016 ANA auction. More recently an NGC example, from the Admiral<br />

Collection, realized $10,200. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,000. of Extreme Rarity any finer, this is about as fine as<br />

any collector could ever hope to own. Bound for an advanced collection and worthy of a serious bid.<br />

PCGS# 8655 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+<br />

OUR ESTIMATES<br />

The estimates you see published in this catalog are based on HAMMER. Keep in mind that a coin could be either low or<br />

high end for the grade, have stunning color or be dull, all of which radically affect a coin’s value. Yes, there can be huge<br />

price differences within a grade, and we offer estimates as a guide so Collector’s can have a better idea of value. One thing<br />

we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to claim stronger sales.<br />

These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin <strong>Auction</strong>s determines to be an approximate high wholesale<br />

value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current market values, similar trades, auction prices, published prices, and<br />

a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are exactly what you<br />

can expect to get if you attempt to resell them wholesale.<br />

We always advise you to view the coins you are interested in and calculate what you’ll pay using as much information as<br />

possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. We are here to help you!<br />
