THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 101<br />
H10C 1800 PCGS MS63 CAC<br />
LM-1. This is a very high end<br />
quality, fully CHOICE example<br />
of this early half dime. A very<br />
important coin for type collectors.<br />
The first thing that catches your<br />
eye is the highly appealing original<br />
toning that graces both sides. Classic<br />
old collection type toning, imparted<br />
by long term storage in an old<br />
envelope. Sharply struck up devices<br />
are accented by the olive-gold,<br />
russet-tan, and iridescent pastel hued<br />
color. Every detail is wonderfully<br />
impressed on both sides. The subtle<br />
differences in color come out when the brilliant, satiny mint frost catches the light. Close examination with a strong glass does reveal a<br />
stray tick or two which account for the assigned grade. The eye appeal is however very strong and high end for an early half dime.<br />
PCGS 19, NGC 2, CAC 7. The last PCGS/CAC example to sell was the Simpson coin, which we sold for $17,625 in our December<br />
2015 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong>. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $20,000 and these are very RARE any finer, and they<br />
rarely appear in auction. This is great coin for any type set or collection or early half dimes and will bring a very strong price when<br />
it crosses the block!<br />

LOT 102<br />
H10C 1832 PCGS MS66 CAC<br />
We have fallen for this GEM! The eye appeal is superior to so<br />
many examples we have seen in the market place.<br />
The sharply struck devices stand out with with a razor sharp<br />
definition against the frosty, satin glow that radiates on both<br />
sides. Adding to this jewel’s stunning look is the totally original<br />
covering of golden brown/reddish gold obverse toning and rose/<br />
crimson/emerald tone on the reverse. There are zero flaws we can<br />
find, even when using a strong glass. Rarely do Capped Bust half<br />
dimes come this nice!<br />
PCGS 47, NGC 54, CAC 19. The most recent PCGS/CAC sold<br />
in December 2014 for $4,113 and before that, an NGC/CAC from<br />
the Newman Collection brought $4,994. The current PCGS value<br />
is listed at $4,350. The value will more than double in 67! This is<br />
a fantastic type coin or for a date set of Capped Bust half dimes!<br />
PCGS# 4279 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+<br />
LOT 103<br />
H10C 1838 NO DRAPERY. PCGS MS66 CAC<br />
This truly is a resplendent GEM. Everything about it is totally<br />
PQ!<br />
Sharply struck devices are brought out by a superlative<br />
satin mint frost. Both obverse and reverse show a stunning<br />
polychromatic, pastel patination. Shades of rosy pink, teal-blue,<br />
and champagne-gold blend together over the satin smooth<br />
surfaces. You really cannot picture a more beautifully toned<br />
SUPERB GEM example of this early Seated half dime.<br />
PCGS 28, NGC 44, CAC 16. So much prettier than the last one<br />
we sold, which realized $2,938 in October 2017. Indeed, this<br />
GEM looks a lot like the pulchritudinous PCGS MS66+ CAC in<br />
the May 2017 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong> for $6,756. What a great type or<br />
date collector!<br />
