THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />

LOT 132<br />

20C 1875-S PCGS MS66+ CAC<br />

This is a wonderful example of<br />

this odd denomination in SUPERB<br />

GEM. Clearly this coin has been<br />

lovingly cared for for 143 years!<br />

The surfaces are of impeccable<br />

quality! Both sides are wonderfully<br />

lustrous with a lovely pearly hue<br />

that is dusted delicately over<br />

smooth fields and sharply struck<br />

devices. While there is a touch of<br />

weakness, as usually seen on the<br />

reverse, the definition is much<br />

stronger than usually seen on<br />

examples of this date. The eye<br />

appeal is spectacular for the grade.<br />

PCGS 77, NGC 51, CAC 21. There are 11 graded in MS66+ and just a half dozen graded higher. LRCA has had the pleasure<br />

of selling the last two in auction, one that sold for $9,075 in February 2018 and one in December 2017 for $9,694. The current<br />

Collector’s Universe value is listed at $9,950. Any finer and it would cost you $30,000; and none are CAC approved! Good luck!<br />

PCGS# 5<strong>29</strong>8 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+<br />

LOT 133<br />

25C 1806 NGC MS62<br />

A Condition Census B-9. Sharply<br />

struck devices stand out against the<br />

superbly satiny surfaces. The dies<br />

had shattered by the time this nearly<br />

CHOICE Mint State quarter was<br />

struck with multiple cracks on the<br />

obverse and numerous minor cuds<br />

on the reverse rim. Multiple die<br />

clashes. Beautiful hues of rose, blue,<br />

olive, teal, emerald, and gold give<br />

this coin a bold, original look.<br />

Ranking toward the bottom of the<br />

Tompkins Condition Census, this<br />

coin is ex ANR, July 2005, lot 1052.<br />

It is not listed in the Rory Rea, et al Census.<br />

PCGS 12, NGC 12. The most recent NGC graded coin sold in April 2015 for $9,400 and prior to that, one sold for $14,100 in<br />

November 2013. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $15,500. This wonderful looking coin will delight any early<br />

quarter collector.<br />

PCGS# 5314 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+<br />
