THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 420<br />
50C 1936 ELGIN. PCGS MS67+<br />
Wonderfully and originally toned, this coin clearly sat in an<br />
album, with frosty silver centers surrounded by olive, gold, and<br />
blue-green toning. Lustrous and nicely preserved, the eye appeal<br />
is excellent, we cannot find anything more than a tiny tick and a<br />
line or two that would keep this SUPERB GEM from receiving a<br />
CAC sticker.<br />
PCGS 44, NGC 5. The most recent examples, going back over<br />
two years were all CAC approved, realizing in the $1,700 and<br />
$2,100 range, and the current Collector’s Universe value is listed<br />
at $1,650. We think this GEM will see very active bidding and it<br />
will find itself at home in a great commem collection!<br />
LOT 421<br />
50C 1936 GETTYSBURG. PCGS MS65 CAC<br />
Commemorating the 75th anniversary of this pivotal battle of<br />
the Civil War, the Gettysburg half is always one of the more<br />
popular types in the series. Sharply struck and nicely original,<br />
with just a touch of golden toning on both sides, this one is<br />
housed in an OGH and is worthy of its CAC bean.<br />
PCGS 1824, NGC 1328, CAC 249. The current CU value is<br />
$700 and we sold one for $798 in our September 2018<br />
Premier Sessions.<br />
PCGS# 9305 | ESTIMATE: $650+<br />
PCGS# 9303 | ESTIMATE: $1,300+<br />
LOT 422<br />
50C 1922 GRANT. NGC MS67+<br />
Tied for FINEST graded Grant without Star at both grading<br />
services. There is no question how high end this SUPERB<br />
GEM is!<br />
Satiny smooth surfaces show off a frosty satin luster that glows<br />
from all over. Even using a strong glass there is not a single<br />
tick, mark, or line that we can find even using a strong glass.<br />
Both sides show off an original pastel toning that comes out<br />
when rotated in a light. The eye appeal is very high end.<br />
PCGS 9, NGC 8. Only two of these have sold in auction, this<br />
one being the most recent selling for $3,055 in the 2016 FUN<br />
auction. NONE of the PCGS coins have sold in auction. The<br />
current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $12,000 which is<br />
speculation, considering no PCGS coin has ever sold in auction.<br />
LOT 423<br />
50C 1922 GRANT STAR. PCGS MS65 CAC<br />
One of the toughest classic commemorative half dollar issues, the<br />
Grant With Star saw a mintage of only 4,256. Gem survivors, like<br />
this old holdered coin, are very scarce indeed, and normally come<br />
dull and gray. This satiny GEM is the opposite, with considerable<br />
gold tone at the rims. The surfaces are devoid of any contact<br />
worthy of mention. The devices are sharply struck up and the eye<br />
appeal and quality are worthy of the CAC endorsement and will<br />
entice strong bidding from commemorative collectors.<br />
PCGS 181, NGC 223, CAC <strong>29</strong>. Rare any finer, the last PCGS<br />
MS65 CAC sold in April 2018 for $5,280. The current CU<br />
value is listed at $4,700 and remember that in 66 the value<br />
jumps to $8,000.<br />
PCGS# 9307 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+<br />
PCGS# 9306 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+<br />
