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 />

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 />
