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

LOT 146<br />

25C 1910 PCGS PR65 CAM CAC<br />

This is a fully mirrored HIGH END GEM Proof. Deep and<br />

almost endless mirrors beam from all over. The mirrors dance<br />

with supreme clarity and cleanliness. They do borderline ultra<br />

deep. Both sides have light original and peripheral splashes of<br />

green/gold/russet colors. The contrast is dramatic. Miss Liberty<br />

and the details are needle sharp in strike and are covered by<br />

sugary white frost. The eye appeal is tremendous!<br />

ONLY 551 minted. PCGS 22, NGC 9, CAC 7. The last PCGS<br />

CAC piece to sell in auction brought only $1,762.50 in March<br />

2017. Prior to that you had to go all the way back to 2010 where<br />

one sold for $2,585. With only 551 minted, these are NOT<br />

nearly as easy to find as you think. In our opinion they have<br />

become way too cheap. Opportunity Knocks loud here!<br />

PCGS# 85696 | ESTIMATE: $1,700+<br />

LOT 147<br />

25C 1914 PCGS PR67 CAC<br />

A visually impressive SUPERB GEM! Everything about this<br />

coin is high end and the eye appeal is tremendous!<br />

Soft iridescent toning is dusted over watery mirrored fields. The<br />

tone is pretty and original, and even on the reverse, while the<br />

obverse is a touch more mottled. The strike is razor sharp and<br />

the eye appeal bold.<br />

Only 380 were struck, the lowest mintage of the series. PCGS<br />

15, NGC 14, CAC 9. Surprisingly enough these do not seem to<br />

bring a premium. This coin matches the toning pattern on the<br />

Eric Newman Collection coin that sold for $4,406 as an NGC/<br />

CAC coin in November 2013. NOTE: NO PCGS/CAC coin has<br />

ever sold in auction! Only five coins are graded finer at PCGS,<br />

making this a true prize for any high ranking set.<br />

PCGS# 5700 | ESTIMATE: $3,750+<br />

LOT 148<br />

25C 1916 STANDING LIBERTY.<br />

PCGS AU53 CAC<br />

One of the most popular KEY<br />

date issues of the 20th century, the<br />

1916 Standing Liberty quarter was<br />

struck to the tune of only 52,000, all<br />

produced in December 1916. The<br />

first design featured a bare breasted<br />

Liberty, which was changed part<br />

way through 1917, where she was<br />

covered up with chain mail.<br />

In demand from collectors in all<br />

grades, this very pleasing, totally<br />

original AU53 has a great look. Well<br />

struck, only the slightest hint of<br />

friction appears on the highest points. A delicate golden tone clings to both sides, attesting to originality and adds to the visual allure.<br />

PCGS 51, NGC 14, CAC 7. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $11,000 and the last PCGS/CAC AU53 sold in our July<br />

2018 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong> for $9,694 . This example has a similar look and is worthy of a strong bid for sure!<br />

PCGS# 5704 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+<br />
