THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />

LOT 81<br />

5C 1913 TYPE 2. PCGS<br />

MS67 CAC<br />

This is truly an ultra eye<br />

appealing and high end<br />

SUPERB GEM!<br />

Boldly lustrous fields yield to<br />

a light pastel iridescent toning<br />

when rotated in a light. hints<br />

of peach, gold and rose hues<br />

can be seen throughout. Fully<br />

struck, this first year Buffalo<br />

nickel has a superb eye appeal.<br />

PCGS 31, NGC 7, CAC 14.<br />

There has not been a PCGS/<br />

CAC MS67 sold in auction<br />

since August 2015, where an example sold for $9,400 in the ANA sale. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $6,500. Only<br />

six examples graded MS67+ are finer, including the Angel Dee’s coin which we sold in December 2016 for $10,281. We anticipate lots of<br />

bidding action on this one!<br />

PCGS# 3921 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+<br />

LOT 82<br />

5C 1917 PCGS MS66+ CAC<br />

A superb example of this early date Buffalo nickel. While not rare<br />

in an absolute sense, they are rare in SUPERB grades. A vibrant<br />

luster glows in the fields, accenting the sharply struck up design<br />

elements and bringing the pastel peach and teal tone to life,<br />

imparting a wonderful, original eye appeal.<br />

PCGS 211, NGC 49, CAC 42. There are 16 graded in MS66+ and<br />

the last CAC-approved example realized $1,560 in the 2018 FUN<br />

auction. Just two dozen graded finer, the current PCGS value in<br />

66+ is $1,550.<br />

PCGS# 3934 | ESTIMATE: $1,350+<br />

LOT 83<br />

5C 1919 PCGS MS67<br />

No doubt that this impeccable SUPERB GEM is one of the<br />

finest graded 1919 nickels. Radiant, pearly, mint luster beams<br />

with a strong vibrancy on both sides. Sharply struck up on<br />

the obverse, there is a touch of bluntness noted on the central<br />

reverse, especially on the buffalo’s haunches. Pearly nickel<br />

silver and light iridescent hues can be seen in the fields,<br />

accenting the reliefs. A nice looking SUPERB GEM!<br />

PCGS 21, NGC 6. The most recent example to sell in auction<br />

realized $5,520 in the 2018 ANA <strong>Auction</strong>, and the current<br />

Collector’s Universe value is listed at $7,750. Only three coins<br />

are graded finer, all MS67+, the most recent of which sold for<br />

$17,038 in our December 2016 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong>.<br />

PCGS# 3941 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+<br />
