THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 125<br />
10C 1931-D PCGS MS67 FB CAC<br />
Everything about this fabulous Mercury Dime suggests<br />
perfection. The pristine surfaces have a satiny smooth texture,<br />
while a strong luster brings out the definition of the razor sharp<br />
struck devices. The lustrous surfaces are flawless and the eye<br />
appeal is as fresh today as it was in 1931 when it fell off the<br />
dies in Denver.<br />
PCGS 58, NGC 12, CAC 16. We sold a non-CAC coin in our<br />
January 2018 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong> for $1,704, and one sold in<br />
April 2018 for $1,680. The current PCGS value is $2,150. Only<br />
five examples are graded MS67+ FB, this SUPERB GEM is<br />
worthy of any great set of Mercury dimes!<br />
PCGS# 4985 | ESTIMATE: $1,550+<br />
LOT 126<br />
10C 1937-D PCGS MS68 CAC<br />
What a marvelous SUPERB GEM. It is indeed the epitome of<br />
virtual perfection! Highly lustrous surfaces show off a delicate<br />
iridescent tone that is totally original. Sharply struck, if it<br />
were just a touch stronger on the central band, this coin would<br />
be designated FB and would rank among the FINEST in that<br />
designation, as it sits, it is tied for FINEST non-FB graded at<br />
PCGS, and is the only one endorsed by CAC.<br />
PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. The other one sold in February 2007<br />
for $1,725. This one has not sold in auction that we can find.<br />
The current CU value is listed at $1,500. With a FB designation,<br />
this coin would be worth $3,000+.<br />
PCGS#5006 | ESTIMATE: $1,200+<br />
LOT 127<br />
10C 1938-S PCGS MS67+ FB CAC<br />
WOW! What else can we say when viewing this beauty!<br />
This is a SUPERB late date Mercury dime, looking a lot like<br />
those 39-Ds from that hoard. Rich red, orange, gold, magenta,<br />
olive, emerald, and icy silver-blue hues are augmented by a<br />
strong mint brilliance. Both sides are smooth, clean, and the<br />
devices are well struck. Even if you do not collect Mercury<br />
dimes you really should take a look at this amazing coin!<br />
PCGS 187, NGC 70, CAC 64. There are 14 in 67+ and there<br />
are only 6 coins finer. You can probably toss out the price<br />
guide values, as this coin rivals the eye appeal of the monster<br />
1923 we just sold. Worthy of a any set of MONSTER toned<br />
Mercury dimes!<br />
LOT 128<br />
10C 1944-S PCGS MS67+ FB CAC<br />
This is an exceptional Mercury dime. A common enough coin<br />
in MS67 FB and lower grades, it is scarce in 67+ FB and RARE<br />
in MS68 FB. A wealth of frosty luster glows below a dusting of<br />
peripheral golden toning. The devices are sharply rendered by a<br />
deep blow from the dies and the surfaces, as expected are satin<br />
smooth.<br />
PCGS 371, NGC 279, CAC 78. The current PCGS Price Guide<br />
value is listed at $1,250. This coin is worthy of a very premium<br />
bid from the specialist collector.<br />
PCGS# 5055 | ESTIMATE: $700+<br />
PCGS# 5015 | ESTIMATE: $2,800+<br />
