THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 118<br />
10C 1906-D PCGS MS65 CAC<br />
Bold lustrous surfaces have a strong gleaming effect in the<br />
fields, accented by crimson-orange rim toning imparted likely<br />
from storage in an album. The devices are crisply struck up and<br />
the surfaces are exceptionally clean, even for a GEM grade.<br />
PCGS 17, NGC 21, CAC 7. Only two CAC-coins have ever<br />
sold in auction: an NGC as part of the Newman Collection in<br />
November 2013 for $1,645 and a PCGS back in the 2008 FUN<br />
<strong>Auction</strong> for $1,380. The current CU value is listed at $1,500.<br />
Rather scarce any finer and this one with its great look will<br />
command a strong price.<br />
PCGS# 4839 | ESTIMATE: $1,200+<br />
LOT 119<br />
10C 1908-O PCGS MS66 CAC<br />
Wonderfully original and pretty! Satiny lustrous surfaces glow<br />
from under a delicate dusting of an amber-gold and olive-russet<br />
hues that yield before the highly lustrous silver in the centers.<br />
Sharply struck details add to this coin’s great look!<br />
PCGS 10, NGC 12, CAC 7. While this date is very scarce<br />
in MS66 and finer, it is remarkably affordable--just goes to<br />
show how great a bargain the Barber Dime series has become.<br />
The last one to sell was a dull gray color that brought only<br />
$1,140. Prior to that, even non-CAC coins were selling in the<br />
$1,500-$2,000 range. The current CU value is listed at $1,650<br />
and with this coin’s great look bidding should exceed that<br />
amount. Note only 7 grade higher on the PCGS Population<br />
reports, making this GEM a great addition for any set.<br />
PCGS# 4848 | ESTIMATE: $1,200+<br />
LOT 120<br />
10C 1899 NGC PF67 CAC<br />
A fantastic, classic SUPERB GEM housed in an early NGC<br />
encapsulation. Totally original, the richness of the toning comes<br />
out as you rotate the highly reflective, deeply mirrored surfaces<br />
in a light, the beautiful blue, teal, and rose hues show off the<br />
strong definition of the devices. The eye appeal is spectacular.<br />
PCGS 18, NGC 25, CAC 14. DO NOT let the population figures<br />
fool you, the most recent NGC PR67 CAC sold in April 2009!<br />
That coin sold for $3,738. More recently in January 2018, we<br />
sold a PCGS/CAC example for $3,055, which is well above the<br />
current Collector’s Universe value of $2,450. This remarkable<br />
SUPERB GEM will delight any Barber dime collector.<br />
PCGS# 4883 | ESTIMATE: $2,300+<br />
LOT 121<br />
10C 1900 PCGS PR67+ CAC<br />
In the realm of Proof Barber dimes, there are GEMS and then<br />
there are SUPERB GEMS--this one is beyond SUPERB! The<br />
mirrors offer a bold watery reflection under wonderful pastel<br />
toning. Shades of blue, violet, teal, gold, peach and magenta all<br />
blend together beautifully. The sharply struck, frosted portrait<br />
stands out remarkably, giving this SUPERB GEM a great look.<br />
Every trait about this coin is worthy of its lofty grade and<br />
accolades from CAC.<br />
Only 912 Proofs were struck for collectors. PCGS 14, NGC 16,<br />
CAC 5. PCGS has only graded 3 in 67+ with exactly one coin<br />
finer in the designation. In 67+ PCGS has assigned a $4,500 Price<br />
Guide value. Worthy of a strong bid from an advanced Barber<br />
Proof collector. Good luck!<br />
PCGS# 4884 | ESTIMATE: $2,400+<br />
