THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 136<br />
25C 1890 PCGS MS66+ CAC<br />
This totally original SUPERB GEM is just outstanding in every<br />
way! If the toning were a little more colorful, we could easily<br />
see this coin grade MS67.<br />
Full prooflike mirrors beam all over. When you twirl the coin in<br />
the right light, at first glance it looks like a toned proof. Beside<br />
the PL, there is a good luster. Both sides are evenly covered in a<br />
totally original “old time” moderate mix of color. This is NOT a<br />
dull or drab coin. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck<br />
and have light frost. The eye appeal is excellent!<br />
PCGS 25, NGC 21, CAC 10. PCGS has only graded two in<br />
MS66+. Finding TRUE GEM coins like is NOT easy these<br />
days. GEM Mint State Seated coins like this are just too cheap.<br />

LOT 137<br />
25C 1884 PCGS PR66+ CAM CAC<br />
What a tremendous GEM! You can’t ask for a more “in your<br />
face” glittering mirrored coin! Superior deep, crystal clear,<br />
remarkably clean, and highly reflective mirrors are nearly<br />
blinding with reflection. The mirrors have that deep water<br />
“liquid mercury” like swagger you can twirl all day and never<br />
get tired of watching There is a slight hint of gold by the rims.<br />
. Miss Liberty and the details are thickly frosted and have full<br />
strikes. The eye appeal is intense!<br />
ONLY 875 were minted. PCGS 11, NGC 11, CAC 6. This is the<br />
only PCGS PR66+ Cameo graded. It sold for $4,113 way back<br />
in November 2012. A regular PR66 Cameo brought $3,055 back<br />
in April 2014. As you clearly can see, these do not appear in<br />
auction often at all. We think this kind of standout coin is really<br />
cheap and over looked today. Good luck!<br />
PCGS# 85585 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+<br />
LOT 138<br />
25C 1892 PCGS MS66 CAC<br />
A visually impressive PQ GEM that looks as fresh today as it<br />
did when it came off the dies in 1892. Representing the first year<br />
of this series, this blast white example is sharply struck, offers a<br />
bold luster, and defect free surfaces. The eye appeal is excellent.<br />
PCGS 117, NGC 81, CAC 59. The current PCGS Price Guide<br />
value is listed at $1,525 and the most recent PCGS MS66 CAC<br />
sold for $2,100 in November 2017; prior to that, one sold for<br />
$1,998 in the 2016 ANA auction. This is a PQ GEM that is<br />
worthy of any Gem set.<br />
PCGS# 5601 | ESTIMATE: $1,100+<br />
LOT 139<br />
25C 1892 PCGS MS66+ CAC<br />
An amazing GEM example of this first year of issue. We have<br />
looked this coin over and over and cannot find anything that<br />
should keep it out of an even higher grade. Perhaps if the satin<br />
luster was a touch more vibrant it would grade higher. Generous<br />
amounts of pastel iridescent toning graces both sides of this Type<br />
2 Reverse quarter.<br />
PCGS 131, NGC 86, CAC 59. There are 14 coins graded 66+<br />
at PCGS, and the last one two to sell in auction were in LRCA<br />
sales: $2,035 in July 2018 and $2,510 in May 2018. The current<br />
PCGS value is listed at $2,650. The eye appeal of this GEM<br />
will delight any collector and may inspire a new collector to<br />
embark on building a set!<br />
PCGS# 5601 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+<br />
