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

LOT 156<br />

25C 1952-S PCGS MS68 CAC<br />

It is amazing what Mother Nature and cardboard can do! This<br />

coin is all about the killer colors.<br />

Technically this coin is all there and then some. The colors are<br />

totally original (cardboard Mint set holder type toning).<br />

The obverse has circular rings of pearl green/amber/violet that<br />

open into a moderate gold center. We rank the obverse colors<br />

are 9+ on our 1-10 color scale (10 is the best). The reverse is<br />

just gorgeous too. There is a partial circle of pearl green/violet<br />

that opens into light sky blue color. There is a strong luster<br />

illuminating these colors. The eye appeal is tremendous!<br />

The last PCGS CAC piece to sell that was toned brought a<br />

whopping $11,500 in April 2013. The toner buyers for sure<br />

will determine the value of this coin. Our estimate is only a<br />

guesstimate. We know there will be crazy strong bidding here!<br />

LOT 157<br />

25C 1958 PCGS PR68+ DCAM<br />

It is amazing that a coin housed in the original cellophane<br />

holder could survive in such spectacular condition! Not only is<br />

this coin SUPERB in every way, it is also among the absolute<br />

finest known! Ultra deep mirrors contrast against the highly<br />

frosted devices. Visually FLAWLESS, even with a powerful<br />

loupe, there are ZERO imperfections!<br />

PCGS 1, NGC 0. Only five coins are graded finer. While this<br />

SUPERB GEM has not sold in auction, a PR69 sold for $6,300<br />

in February 2018. We think this coin will sell for a price over<br />

the suggested PCGS Price Guide value of $1,850. Good luck!<br />

PCGS# 95990 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+<br />

PCGS# 5851 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+<br />

LOT 158<br />

50C 1801 OVERTON 101. PCGS<br />

XF45<br />

Anyone who collects this series knows<br />

how difficult the 1801 half dollar<br />

is to find in attractive XF; most are<br />

lightly cleaned and are dull. This coin<br />

is a happy exception overall. Light<br />

silver-gray surfaces have a delicate,<br />

somewhat dappled rose, pewter, and<br />

coppery-gold toning on both sides.<br />

Accents of surviving luster adds a<br />

depth to the eye appeal in the recesses<br />

of the design elements. There are a<br />

few tiny ticks here and there but none<br />

are detracting to the overall good eye<br />

appeal.<br />

PCGS 20, NGC 11. The last one to sell sold very cheaply, considering previous auction results, bringing $5,280 in the 2018 ANA<br />

auction. A CAC-approved coin brought $9,000 in a May 2017 Internet only auction. The current PCGS value is listed at $9,250.<br />

Keep in mind that an AU coin is worth about $13,000-$15,000.<br />

PCGS# 6064 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+<br />
