THE REGENCY AUCTION 29
LOT 122
10C 1916-D MERCURY. PCGS VF20 CAC
The perfect VF example! Really this coin just shows even, honest
wear and is handsome and very pleasing. The eye appeal is
exceptional for the assigned grade. Lightly toned over light lines
on the reverse doe not detract.
This is a classic key issue of the 20th century series and always in
demand regardless of grade. This VF has a great look and will find
itself at home in any budget minded set.
PCGS 130, NGC 41, CAC 15. The last one to sell realized $3,760
in November 2016--that is two years ago and the current PCGS value is $3,600.
PCGS# 4906 | ESTIMATE: $3,400+
LOT 123
10C 1916-D MERCURY. PCGS
MS63
The key date of the Mercury
dime series had a low mintage of
264,000. A few coins were saved at
the time of issue, but the majority
went into circulation where they
would stay until they were heavily
worn. Any example graded Mint
State is a prize for collectors.
The present frosty and CHOICE
example has a pearly-silver sheen
with delicate gold accents. The
strike is mostly there, just slightly
soft in the central devices, which
keeps this one from getting a Full Band designation. There are a few microscopic lines that can be seen with a strong glass, but none
detract from the nice eye appeal. This is a coin that anyone building a Mint State set and needing this important issue.
PCGS 18, NGC 12. The most recent example sold in auction brought $12,925 in July 2017 and prior to that a non-CAC example has
not sold since the 2015 FUN auction, bringing $13,513. The current PCGS value is $18,000 and according to our data base, going
back to 2005, the average APR for a 63 is nearly $15,000. This coin should see very active bidding.
LOT 124
10C 1919-D PCGS MS64 FB CAC
With a mintage of nearly 10 million, the 1919-D dime is not a
particularly rare issue, but with a full strike, that includes all
three bands being split and rounded, this date is among the keys.
Near-Gem quality, this lively coin has a rich mint frost that accents
the sharply struck devices. Original, pearly silver are undisturbed by
any serious marks or ticks, offering a strong eye appeal overall.
PCGS# 4906 | ESTIMATE: $11,500+
PCGS 96, NGC 36 CAC 15. We sold the most recent PCGS/CAC
example in our September 2016 Regency Auction for $3,878 and
more recently a non-CAC coin sold in June 2018 for $4,080. The
current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $5,000. Keep in mind that a 65 will cost $30,000+, making this an excellent value for
any collector.
