THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 168<br />
50C 1861 PCGS MS66 CAC<br />
What a great time keeper of our Civil War era<br />
coinage. This coin is a dazzling HIGH END<br />
piece. How this survived the Civil War and 157<br />
years is beyond comprehension. Not only did<br />
it survive, it did so in such an awesome way!<br />
Splendid surfaces have just a tiny scattered<br />
tick or two that can only be seen with a glass.<br />
The surfaces have a thick satiny texture. A<br />
surprising strong luster beams from all over.<br />
Absolutely gorgeous toning consisting of<br />
original moderate hues of green, blue, gold,<br />
rose, pale magenta swirl all over on both sides.<br />
You want a 157 years old GEM to look like<br />
this. Miss Liberty and the details are delicately frosted and are fully struck. The eye appeal is beautiful!<br />
PCGS 17, NGC 3, CAC 12 (hmmm there was clearly a resub on a coin). The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought<br />
$13,513 in our December 2015 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong>. These do no exactly grow on trees! This will make a great addition to any GEM<br />
MS Seated set, Civil War set, or Type set. We sure do not see these often.<br />
LOT 169<br />
50C 1873 ARROWS. PCGS MS64 CAC<br />
For the assigned grade, this 1873 half dollar is gorgeous and totally<br />
original. We love the look! First the obverse fields have a touch of<br />
reflective sparkle that bursts from under the highly attractive blue,<br />
green, rose, and gold toning. Crisply and fully struck up with full<br />
definition on both sides. A strong glass reveals a few minute lines,<br />
that limit the grade, but not the excellent eye appeal.<br />
PCGS# 6302 | ESTIMATE: $12,500+<br />
PCGS 44, NGC 19, CAC 13. The most recent example realized<br />
$3,000 in the 2018 ANA auction and the current PCGS price is<br />
$2,850. There are records in the $4,000+ range from 2016 and<br />
earlier in 2018. Worthy of a strong bid from type or date collectors, we love the look of this near-GEM.<br />
PCGS# 6343 | ESTIMATE: $2,600+<br />
LOT 170<br />
50C 1877 PCGS MS66+ CAC<br />
Visually, this 1877 half dollar is beyond<br />
incredible and high end! It has a stunning, totally<br />
original look, and its quality is all there and then<br />
some!A bold frosted, satin sheen glows with a<br />
pearly brilliance on the obverse. A dusting of<br />
clear-gold, opal-like glow. A rim tone with a<br />
richer golden hue, orange and magenta accents.<br />
While not PL, the highly frosted fields do stand<br />
out with almost a cameo like effect when viewed<br />
at different angles. The reverse has a much more<br />
flashy mint luster that radiates from all over. This<br />
coin has a stunning look that any collector, even<br />
the most jaded, will fall in love with!<br />
PCGS 30, NGC 11, CAC 15. There are 11 graded 66+ (likely including duplication), and just two coins graded finer at PCGS. The<br />
most recent example to sell realized $6,900 in April 2018. Prior to that, there were three sold in 2017 for $6,300 and $7,050. The<br />
current PCGS value is listed at $8,950. The two finer PCGS coins have never sold in auction, so this is currently the FINEST you will<br />
be able to buy! Not only would advanced Seated Liberty half dollar collectors go crazy for the high end SUPERB GEM possesses!<br />
PCGS# 6355 | ESTIMATE: $5,750+<br />
