THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 54<br />
3CS 1853 PCGS MS67 CAC<br />
One of the top survivors for the date! This coin is a SUPERB<br />
GEM without any question. This bold, GEM has just a dusting of<br />
totally original deep pewter and silver color on both sides of this<br />
satiny lustrous beauty. The surfaces are super smooth and mark<br />
free. Well struck and lacking the clash marks that so often plague<br />
this series.<br />
PCGS 14, NGC 12, CAC 12. There are only 3 coins graded 67+,<br />
and one is marginally finer. We assure you this coin is one of the<br />
finest examples of 1853 that we have ever seen-almost equal to<br />
the killer 1853 PCGS MS67+ CAC Ipswich coin we just sold for<br />
$8,518 in our January <strong>Regency</strong> Sale. If you think about it, this<br />
is a date and grade you rarely ever see. In our opinion, a coin<br />
like this should be worth $7,500-$10,000 today. Time will make<br />
it happen. No matter what, this is a great Type coin, or a superb<br />
example for a top level MS 3CS registry set.<br />
PCGS# 3667 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+<br />

3CS 1857 PCGS MS65+ CAC<br />
What a wonderful example of a date that is not so easy to find in<br />
GEM. We do agree fully with the + and consider this coin HIGH<br />
END! Impressive surfaces are exceedingly clean and smooth,<br />
even using a strong glass you can’t even find any ticks or hits. A<br />
decent and glowing type of luster beams from all over. Totally<br />
original cardboard holder type toning of russet/deep magenta/<br />
navy/golden brown colors swirl all over. Every detail is sharp in<br />
strike. The eye appeal is terrific!<br />
PCGS 32, NGC 35, CAC 9. PCGS has graded only this coin<br />
MS65+. NO + from any service has ever been sold via auction.<br />
A MS65 PCGS CAC sold for $3,600 in November 2017 and we<br />
sold a MS66 PCGS/CAC in July 2018 for $10,281. If you are<br />
building a GEM Mint State 3CS set, Type, or just buy cool coins,<br />
this is a coin for you!<br />
PCGS# 3673 | ESTIMATE: $3,200+<br />
LOT 56<br />
3CS 1858 PCGS MS67<br />
If there is one series that our founder,<br />
Laura Sperber has made a truly lasting<br />
mark on, it is the three cent silver series.<br />
Having built the top three collections<br />
ever of trimes, she knows how each<br />
date comes. This SUPERB GEM is<br />
remarkable in terms of its quality and<br />
eye appeal!<br />
The surfaces are pretty much perfect.<br />
Even using a strong glass the only thing<br />
you will find are mint made clash marks.<br />
A billowing, brilliant satin luster beams<br />
through the beautifully toned obverse<br />
and reverse. They are evenly toned with<br />
a deeper mix of blues, teals, reds, golds, and iridescent pearly silver. Every detail is fully struck and the eye appeal is very pleasing!<br />
PCGS 11, NGC 14. The last one sold in a weak market, at the 2016 FUN auction, bringing $16,450. Prior to that, a CAC approved coin<br />
sold for $21,738. The current PCGS value is listed at $21,250 and with just three coins graded MS67+ finer, which have never sold in<br />
auction, this SUPERB coin will delight any advanced collector demanding the FINEST! Good luck!<br />
PCGS# 3674 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+<br />
