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

LOT 366<br />

$20 1874-CC PCGS XF45<br />

A popular collector grade early date CC $20. While many of<br />

the gold coins from Carson City are very scarce to very rare in<br />

all grades, the 1874-CC saw a mintage of 115,085, making it a<br />

great representative for the mint.<br />

Decent quality surfaces show only moderate wear. The<br />

honey-wheat gold coloration shows rich accents of orange tone<br />

in areas. A glass reveals some minor old bag marks acquired<br />

during its stay in commerce, but it is not at all hacked up or<br />

unappealing visually in any way.<br />

PCGS 286, NGC 282. A very cool piece for any gold coin<br />

holding, and keep in mind most other dates from this mint will<br />

cost much more in this grade. The current PCGS value is listed<br />

at $4,150. Good luck!<br />

LOT 367<br />

$20 1882-CC PCGS XF45 CAC<br />

A pleasing Choice XF Carson City double eagle that will<br />

delight any collector. The eye appeal is excellent for an XF,<br />

which normally comes cleaned or hacked up. This coin just<br />

shows some minor friction in the fields and light wear on the<br />

devices. The quality is beyond what you normally see.<br />

PCGS 190, NGC 132, CAC 16. NO PCGS/CAC example has<br />

ever sold in auction. Only 4 NGC/CAC coins have ever sold,<br />

selling in the $3,400-$4,100 range since 2013. The most recent<br />

PCGS coin brought $3,480 in September 2018. The current CU<br />

value is $3,750. CC gold is always popular and adding some to<br />

any collection of U.S. gold is a great idea!<br />

PCGS# 8997 | ESTIMATE: $3,200+<br />

PCGS# 8971 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+<br />

LOT 368<br />

$20 1884-CC PCGS AU58 CAC<br />

This is a gorgeous, high end for the<br />

AU58 grade 84-CC $20. Exhibiting<br />

nearly full mint brilliance in the fields,<br />

the surfaces show just the most minute<br />

touch of rub. The details are fully<br />

rendered and have bold definition<br />

throughout. Accents of rose caress the<br />

rich golden color on both sides. There<br />

are a few minor ticks from bag storage<br />

none of which are distracting or affect<br />

the “GEM AU” eye appeal. If you<br />

are looking for a single $20 from the<br />

Carson City mint, the 84-CC is a great<br />

year, as it is one of the more readily<br />

available; but in AU58 it is truly<br />

scarce, and Mint State coins are even more so.<br />

PCGS 228, NGC 474, CAC 57. There must be much duplication in the population figures in attempts to garner a Mint State grade. The<br />

current PCGS Price is $7,500 and there are a wide range of auction prices realized for PCGS/CAC examples; the most recent of which sold<br />

for $6,360 and others have sold in the $7,000-$8,000 range. This is a great looking coin that will realize a strong bid!<br />

PCGS# 9001 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+<br />
