THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 173<br />
50C 1890 PCGS MS67 CAC<br />
An AMAZING SUPERB GEM!<br />
Clearly this beautifully toned<br />
example is one of the FINEST<br />
KNOWN of this low mintage<br />
date. With only 12,000 struck,<br />
this was a rarity from day one.<br />
Exceptionally lustrous fields<br />
are aglow under a sumptuous<br />
melange of rainbow iridescent<br />
toning that gently coats both<br />
sides. Impressive violet, blue,<br />
gold, orange, and teal hues<br />
blend together inspiring a<br />
wonderful eye appeal. Satin<br />
smooth surfaces and sharply<br />
struck up devices show no imperfections, even when carefully viewed under a strong glass. What an amazing coin!<br />
PCGS 5, NGC 5, CAC 3. Every bit as nice (or nicer) as the Malibu Collection coin sold in November 2010 for $31,625. This coin<br />
sold more recently for $22,800 making the current Collector’s Universe value of $17,500 useless for a high end coin like this!<br />
There is just a single MS67+ finer, a coin which has never sold in auction. A great coin for any Seated half dollar set or high end<br />
type set, we can see this coin selling well in excess of our estimate range!<br />
PCGS# 6372 | ESTIMATE: $18,000+<br />
LOT 174<br />
50C 1862 PCGS PR64+ CAM CAC<br />
Sharply impressed with full squared rims and strong details. The<br />
mirror fields glitter and contrast nicely with frosted central design<br />
elements. Light golden-blue toning attests to this coin’s careful<br />
long-term storage. Most proof coinage in the 1850’s and 1860’s is<br />
scarce, including the 1862 of which 550 were produced.<br />
PCGS 14, NGC 9, CAC 4. PCGS has graded only a single<br />
PR64+CAM. Only 22 have been graded higher. PCGS<br />
price guide lists value as $4,000. A PCGS PR64CAM CAC<br />
appeared at auction in January 2014 and sold for $4,348. A rare<br />
opportunity for the Seated Liberty and Civil War specialist.<br />
PCGS# 86416 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+<br />
LOT 175<br />
50C 1892 PCGS MS65+ CAC<br />
The first year of the Barber series is not rare in an absolute<br />
sense, but it is somewhat scarce in GEM. However, demand for<br />
a first year of issue has always kept this date very popular. The<br />
present GEM is ever so close to an even higher grade, perhaps<br />
the minor reeding mark on Liberty’s neck is all that keeps it<br />
from a 66. The surfaces have a rich, brilliant mint luster that<br />
ranges from satiny with a bold frost to areas of the reverse that<br />
are somewhat reflective with a near PL sheen. Both sides are<br />
untoned with a shimmering pearly-silver that is just wonderfully<br />
original and highly eye appealing.<br />
PCGS 118, NGC 81, CAC 34. There are only FOUR coins<br />
graded MS65+ at PCGS. The most recent PCGS MS65 CAC<br />
sold for $1,800 in June 2018 and a PCGS MS66 CAC sold for<br />
$3,080 in our July 2018 Premier Session. In 65+ the PCGS<br />
Price Guide value is listed at $2,450. Worthy of a home in any<br />
GEM Set and a great way to start a new collection!<br />
PCGS# 6461 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+<br />
