THE REGENCY AUCTION 29
LOT 38
1C 1931-D PCGS MS65 RD
Mellow salmon-rose tone is dusted over the brilliant red mint
luster. Sharply struck, this gem has a neat look in its first
generation PCGS holder. Lightly toned at the lower obverse rim,
it is only noticeable at certain angles in a bright light. The eye
appeal is neat!
PCGS 157, NGC 50. The last two non-CAC coins sold for
$1,020 and the current CU value is listed at $1,050. RARE any
finer, this gem is a great coin for any budget minded Lincoln
cent collector.
PCGS# 2617 | ESTIMATE: $900+
LOT 39
1C 1955 DOUBLED DIE. PCGS MS63 RB
An original CHOICE Mint State Doubled Die cent. This famed
issue has been a popular variety since its discovery and the
doubling is visible to the naked eye. Housed in an early, first
generation PCGS encapsulation, this lovely coin shows accents
of red around the peripheries, otherwise the surfaces are toned to
a lustrous steely-brown with accents of olive-tan and pale blue.
Both sides are well struck and pleasing.
PCGS 265, NGC 115. The last one sold for $3,720 in the 2018
ANA auction. Prior to that, one sold in June 2018 for $3,600 and
one in April brought $3,360. The current PCGS value is listed at
$3,750. We anticipate strong bidding for this popular variety.
PCGS# 2826 | ESTIMATE: $2,800+
LOT 40
1C 1909 LINCOLN. PCGS PR66+ BN CAC
This lovely, original GEM Matte Proof Lincoln is the second
highest graded at PCGS!
Rich medium brown surfaces show hints of original red along
with accents of mahogany and aubergine highlights. This superb
quality GEM is well preserved and devoid of any flaws.
PCGS 19, NGC 4, CAC 7. This coin has never appeared in
auction and is not the one that sold in our May 2017 auction for
$1,350 hammer. Unpriced in 66+, it is certainly worth well in
excess of the $1,500 listed in the Collector’s Universe guide for a
66 BN. There is just a single PR67 BN graded finer in
the designation.
PCGS# 3303 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+
LOT 41
1C 1909 LINCOLN. PCGS PR67 BN
This is the SOLE FINEST 1909 Matte Proof Lincoln in the
Brown color category at PCGS. The first year of the Matte Proof
Lincolns, a series that was not appreciated at the time of issue,
but today has a strong following among collectors saw a mintage
of 2,198. The sharply struck up design elements stand out nicely
against the sand blast surfaces. Rich brown surfaces are accented
by a lovely teal-blue overtone. The surfaces are smooth and show
no distracting marks or unevenness in the toning. The eye appeal
is quite nice.
PCGS 1, NGC 1. Neither this coin, nor the NGC coin have ever
sold in auction. Indeed the finest BN graded 1909 Matte Proof to
sell in auction was a PR66 BN. PCGS does not even list a value
in its Price Guide. If you collect beautiful toned Matte Proof
Lincoln cents, you need to bid on this FINEST certified example.
