THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 383<br />
$20 1927 PCGS MS65 CAC<br />
Housed in a first generation PCGS holder, this is what GEMS<br />
should look like. Brilliant luster, very clean surfaces, sharply<br />
struck devices and a great color all combine to make one<br />
gorgeous Saint in a quality that you don’t often see in coins that<br />
are graded 65 today; indeed we have seen MS66s that do not<br />
have the bold eye appeal of this one!<br />
Out of nearly 50,000 graded between PCGS and NGC in MS65,<br />
only 1584 are CAC approved, which explains the premium CAC<br />
examples command.<br />
PCGS# 9186 | ESTIMATE: $1,650+<br />
LOT 384<br />
$20 1927 PCGS MS66 CAC<br />
A VERY pleasing MS66 and VERY HIGH END Saint.Superb<br />
surfaces are clean and smooth overall. Just a few trivial frost<br />
breaks and extremely pinpoint ticks can be found using a strong<br />
glass. The luster is strong and is glowing. There is actually<br />
some light semi prooflike mirrors on the upper obverse. Both<br />
sides are pretty deeper gold/pale pinkish gold color. There are<br />
NO spots or stains. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and<br />
are sharply struck. the eye appeal is superb!<br />
PCGS 6278, NGC 2605, CAC 513. The current WHOLESALE<br />
BID is $3,525. All of the sudden there are multiple bidders for<br />
these. Looks like demand is picking up again.<br />
PCGS# 9186 | ESTIMATE: $3,400+<br />
LOT 385<br />
$20 1928 PCGS MS67<br />
Clearly this coin hit CAC on a<br />
bad day. We’ve seen many similar<br />
looking coins beaned. BUT they<br />
have made their decision and we<br />
will all live with it. We do like the<br />
coin-or else we would not have<br />
taken it for the auction.<br />
The surfaces are surprisingly<br />
natty (clean and smooth). Even<br />
using a strong glass all you can<br />
find a few tiny light frost breaks<br />
scattered about. A very good luster<br />
beams from all over. Both sides<br />
are a beautiful even original deeper<br />
yellow gold color. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are sharply struck. They even glow with a dusting of pinkish gold. There<br />
are NO spots or discolorations. The eye appeal is really wonderful!<br />
PCGS 89, NGC 91. The last PCGS (NO CAC) to sell in auction brought a strong $15,600 in August 2018. No fluke, another non CAC<br />
brought $14,400 in a different August 2018 auction. We assure you, this coin is at least equal (and probably better) then either of those<br />
coins that sold. True SUPERB GEM MS67 Saints are impossible to find these days.<br />
