THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 57<br />
3CS 1860 PCGS MS65+ CAC<br />
WOW! Did we say WOW?! Because this coin is a serious WOW<br />
SUPERB GEM! While we will not make any promises, we see no<br />
reason why PCGS only graded this coin an MS65. The surfaces<br />
are absolutely immaculate. Even if you use a strong glass you<br />
will hold he same opinion. A strong glowing luster beams from<br />
all over. Gorgeous and totally original colors of pale olive/green/<br />
gold/violet shimmer all over. There are no spots or discolorations.<br />
Most important, EVERY detail is fully struck and stands out. Yet,<br />
there is practically no die clashing which is unusual. Regardless<br />
the eye appeal is jaw dropping!<br />
LOT 58<br />
3CS 1864 PCGS AU58 CAC<br />
What a neat Civil War era trime! PCGS hit the grade exactly right<br />
on this one just the lightest touch of rub on the highest points,<br />
visible really on the reverse. Beautiful blue toning has a touch of<br />
gold at the center. It is not dark or dull in any way. Only 12,000<br />
were struck.<br />
PCGS 9, NGC 1, CAC 1. This coin brought $1,821 in the 2016<br />
FUN auction. A great “everyman” set coin! Good luck!<br />
PCGS# 3684 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+<br />
PCGS 30, NGC 19, CAC 11. This was the NGC coin that sold in<br />
Sotheby’s for $2,750 in May 2018. The owner gives up. We think<br />
they should not (again, NO promises). A regular PCGS MS65<br />
CAC sold for $2,520 in November 2017. If you are very picky<br />
and demand high quality and gorgeous color-here you go!<br />
PCGS# 3678 | ESTIMATE: $2,500+<br />
LOT 59<br />
3CS 1873 PCGS PR65 CAM CAC<br />
A Proof Only and FINAL year of the type. Wonderfully toned on<br />
both sides, the mirrors offer a strong reflection with nice clarity<br />
that beams through the lovely original patina. The frosted reliefs<br />
do stand out with a strong contrast against the fields. The quality<br />
and eye appeal are both high end for the grade.<br />
Only 600 examples were struck. PCGS 21, NGC 14, CAC 15.<br />
The last one that sold in auction realized $2,530, but prior to that,<br />
one sold in the 2013 ANA auction for $2,820. The current CU<br />
value is listed at $3,250. A great coin for the specialist collector.<br />
Very pleasing and totally original!<br />
PCGS# 83724 | ESTIMATE: $2,400+<br />
LOT 60<br />
3CN 1888 PCGS MS65 CAC<br />
A beautiful GEM housed in a first generation PCGS holder. In<br />
our opinion this coin is undergraded (we make no guarantees)<br />
and is very high end. Billowing nickel-silver, pale gold surfaces<br />
have a strong luster amplifying the sharply struck up devices.<br />
The surfaces are high end quality and are virtually flawless for<br />
the grade.<br />
PCGS 75, NGC 61, CAC 8. There has not been a PCGS /CAC<br />
coin sold since 2012. The current PCGS value is listed at $650.<br />
The value nearly doubles in 66. This beauty is great for a type or<br />
date set of GEMS.<br />
PCGS# 3757 | ESTIMATE: $550+<br />
