THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 386<br />
25C 1893 ISABELLA. PCGS MS65<br />
A classic look with multihued antique patina, that shows a very<br />
pleasing vibrance on the obverse. Blue tinged, golden-russet<br />
surfaces blend nicely and are brought together by the semi-reflective<br />
underlying luster. The details are fully rendered on both sides<br />
and the eye appeal is very nice.<br />
PCGS 507, NGC 431. Non-CAC examples have sold in 2018<br />
from $900 to $2,875 and the current PCGS value is $1,700. The<br />
only quarter in the classic series and this one would fit nicely in<br />
any GEM set.<br />
PCGS# 9220 | ESTIMATE: $1,000+<br />
LOT 387<br />
25C 1893 ISABELLA. PCGS MS66 CAC<br />
This Isabella’s eye appeal is off the charts! A brilliant<br />
luster brings out the awe inspiring blue, violet, green, and<br />
amber-orange. The luster gleams with bold rolling cartwheels<br />
on both sides. Sharply struck up details are full and the eye<br />
appeal is quite exceptional.<br />
PCGS 267, NGC 139, CAC 97. The current PCGS value is<br />
listed at $2,650 and this one is truly worthy of a strong bid!<br />
Recent PCGS/CAC APRs are in the $2,500 to $3,360 range.<br />
This coin was crossed from an NGC “*” holder, truly worthy of<br />
that accolade for its high end eye appeal.<br />
PCGS# 9220 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+<br />
LOT 388<br />
$1 1900 LAFAYETTE. PCGS MS64<br />
The unique silver dollar commemorative struck in the early years,<br />
the Lafayette dollar has always been in demand from collectors.<br />
Only 36,026 were struck and the average coin grades in the<br />
MS63-MS64 range. This one however does not look like your<br />
average example, with a lovely blue, red, gold, pewter melange<br />
of color that graces both sides over the sharply struck design<br />
elements and satiny lustrous fields.<br />
PCGS 1000, NGC 735. The most recent example realized $1,680<br />
in the 2018 ANA auction and one sold for $2,400 in the Central<br />
States auction. The current PCGS value is listed at $2,200 and<br />
this one could see bidding to that level when it crosses the block.<br />
PCGS# 9222 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+<br />
LOT 389<br />
50C 1921 ALABAMA 2X2. PCGS MS66+ CAC<br />
Among the 20 finest graded 2X2 Alabamas at PCGS, this gorgeous<br />
Premium Quality GEM screams originality! A band of beautiful<br />
toning forms a partial halo around the obverse, the subtle variations<br />
of color show wonderful coppery reds, deep blue, and autumnal<br />
brown-gold. The remainder of the surfaces are a pearly-satiny<br />
silver that are boldly awash in a brilliant lustrous sheen. Very well<br />
struck up devices stand out and just a few tiny ticks can be found<br />
under intense scrutiny with a strong glass. From a mintage of only<br />
6,000 this is one of the scarcer early commems.<br />
PCGS 147, NGC 87, CAC 51. PCGS has only graded 10<br />
examples in MS66+ with a mere 9 coins finer. The most recent<br />
PCGS MS66+ CAC to sell in auction realized $3,300 in our<br />
April 2017 Premier Session. A PCGS MS66 CAC (not a +)<br />
sold in April 2018 and it did not have the attractive toning<br />
this SUPERB quality GEM possesses. The current Collector’s<br />
Universe value is $3,100 and it jumps to $16,500 in MS67. A<br />
great coin for any commemorative collector.<br />
PCGS# 9225 | ESTIMATE: $2,800+<br />
