THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 176<br />
50C 1895 PCGS MS65+ CAC<br />
Totally original and what a marvelous GEM example of this date.<br />
Obviously the first thing that attracts your attention is th original<br />
toning. Light iridescent teal-lilac, russet-rose, and olive-gold patina<br />
drapes over the entire surface of the obverse. The satin-frosty<br />
luster below the toning brings out the subtle differences in the hues<br />
on the obverse. The reverse has more of a strong, rolling cartwheel<br />
luster with some flashy accents. The devices are sharply struck<br />
and frosty. A halo of gold tone frames the reverse giving it a very<br />
stunning look. There are only a few tiny marks on the cheek. The<br />
eye appeal is very high end and this has a really classic look!<br />
PCGS 21, NGC 9, CAC 6. The ONLY PCGS CAC MS65 to sell<br />
in auction was back in March 2009! Even nearly a decade ago,<br />
that coin brought $3,738. The most recent PCGS coin sold for<br />
$3,960 and was NOT CAC (in the 2018 ANA auction). Only 11<br />
coins are graded finer, and this one will command a premium bid.<br />
LOT 177<br />
50C 1895-S PCGS MS63 CAC<br />
We like the look of this pleasing CHOICE Mint State Barber<br />
half. A very bold, luster, which is very vibrant for the assigned<br />
grade. Icy silver brilliance has some frosty, some satiny, and<br />
some cartwheel accents combining to give this coin a look that<br />
is far superior to what you would expect of a 63. The details are<br />
wonderfully crisp, and the reverse is framed by a lovely dappled<br />
eggplant and russet tone. The eye appeal is superb.<br />
PCGS 38, NGC 21, CAC 4. The last PCGS/CAC coin sold in<br />
June 2015 for $1,704 and the current CU value is listed at $1,500.<br />
Scarce any finer, this coin has a great look for the grade.<br />

OUR ESTIMATES<br />
The estimates you see published in this catalog are based on<br />
HAMMER. Keep in mind that a coin could be either low or<br />
high end for the grade, have stunning color or be dull, all of<br />
which radically affect a coin’s value. Yes, there can be huge<br />
price differences within a grade, and we offer estimates as<br />
a guide so Collector’s can have a better idea of value. One<br />
thing we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to<br />
claim stronger sales.<br />
LOT 178<br />
50C 1896-O NGC AU55 CAC<br />
WOW, is this fully CHOICE AU 96-O half totally ORIGINAL.<br />
A very pleasing collector graded example that has a rich<br />
olive-pewter gray coloration with tinges of old gold. The wear is<br />
limited to just a touch of light friction on the high points and in<br />
the fields.<br />
PCGS 11, NGC 7, CAC 5. The only CAC-approved coins sold in<br />
2011 and 2012--that is a long time for one to not appear, the most<br />
recent was an NGC/CAC coin to sell in $2,990 which was in July<br />
2012. The current Collector’s Universe value is $5,000, and the<br />
value nearly doubles in AU58.<br />
These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin<br />
<strong>Auction</strong>s determines to be an approximate high wholesale<br />
value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current<br />
market values, similar trades, auction prices, published<br />
prices, and a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is<br />
no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are<br />
exactly what you can expect to get if you attempt to resell<br />
them wholesale.<br />
We always advise you to view the coins you are interested<br />
in and calculate what you’ll pay using as much information<br />
as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask<br />
us. We are here to help you!<br />
