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 />
