THE REGENCY AUCTION 29
LOT 159
50C 1807 DRAPED BUST. NGC
AU58
A lovely, high Condition Census
O-103. A brilliant frosty luster glows
on both the obverse and reverse. A
dusting of pale pearly-silver, gray and
gold toning takes up the majority of
the surfaces, while the peripheries,
especially on the right sides show
a deeper rose, gold and light blue
iridescent toning. As typical for the
date, there is some light weakness of
strike in the center of the obverse, but
the corresponding area of the reverse is
fully rendered by a precise blow from
screw press. Struck from a heavily clashed state of the dies, but before the dies began to crack, as listed for O-103a.
PCGS 67, NGC 72. We believe this to be the Queller coin, listed as CC#2 in the Spring 2018 revision of the AMBPR. The two
most recent NGC AU58s were a different variety, both selling in 2014 for $6,463. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at
$7,250. Keep in mind, these are very scarce in Mint State.
PCGS# 6079 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+
LOT 160
50C 1808/7 PCGS AU50
O-101. A wonderful, collector oriented grade, with medium
pewter and lilac toning that yields to olive, gold and powder
blue. Sharply struck up devices show off good definition despite
some minor friction. There are a few minor scratches that
we note under the tone and are totally unobtrusive to the eye
appeal. This is NOT a dull example, like so many happen to be.
PCGS 29, NGC 12. The current PCGS Price Guide value is
listed at $1,775 and the most recent example sold in February
2018 for $1,500. As the first overdate variety in the Capped
Bust series, this pleasing AU coin will fit nicely in any Red
Book set of collector grade Bust halves.
LOT 161
50C 1809 XXX EDGE. PCGS XF40
O-102. Easliy identifiable by the row of segments above the
eagle. Delicately toned over lightly worn surfaces. The eye
appeal is nice for the grade.
PCGS 38, NGC 2. The last one to sell was CAC-approved and
realized $1,020 in June 2018. This eye appealing example will
bring somewhere around that level. The current CU value is
listed at $1,250.
PCGS# 6093 | ESTIMATE: $900+
