THE REGENCY AUCTION 29
LOT 182
50C 1907-S PCGS MS64 CAC
This is a very appealing
near-GEM example. While
1,250,000 were struck, most
were placed directly into
circulation and are very rare in
MS64 or finer grades. Radiating
mint luster blooms on both sides
that swirls with bold rolling
cartwheels. The only reason we
can see that this brilliant silver
coin is not graded higher are a
few minor marks on Liberty’s
cheek, but the eye appeal
is overall very nice for the
assigned grade.
PCGS 9, NGC 8, CAC 2. The last CAC-approved example sold in auction back in March 2014 selling for $6,463. More recently
two non-CAC coins sold for $7,315 and $7,638 (that the most recent in April 2015). The current PCGS value is listed at $8,500.
VERY RARE finer, just 18 are graded finer at PCGS.
LOT 183
50C 1913-S PCGS MS65+ CAC
A lower mintage date, with only 604,000 struck and needless to
say, this is a conditionally RARE issue with few that survive in
GEM or finer grades. This coin is very pleasing and satiny with a
great pearly-silver and gold look. Sharply struck up, the surfaces
show only the slightest hint of contact with other coins that can
be seen with a strong glass. None of these have any impact on the
superb eye appeal.
PCGS# 6511 | ESTIMATE: $5,250+
PCGS 13, NGC 18, CAC 5. This is the ONLY MS65+ graded
at either service and has not sold in auction. There has not been
a PCGS MS65 sold in auction in almost nine years--we told you they are rare! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at
$5,000 and keep in mind that a PCGS/CAC MS66 would likely cost $15,000. This coin presents a great value as well as great look
and will fit in very nicely into any GEM set of Barber halves.
PCGS# 6529 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+
LOT 184
50C 1900 PCGS PR65 CAM CAC
Beautiful, GEM CAMEO Barber half! Fully frosted devices stand
out against deeply reflective mirrored fields; in fact the reverse
borders on a DCAM classification if taken on its own. A touch of
peripheral toning at the rims frames both sides and gives the eye
appeal a little extra “pop.”
Only 912 proofs were struck. PCGS 20, NGC 7, CAC 6. The most
recent example to sell in auction realized $1,939 in our July 2018
Regency Auction. Prior to that even non-CAC coins were selling in
the $2,280 to $2,760 range. The current PCGS Price Guide value is
listed at $3,150. A nice, original coin like this will attract strong bidding.
PCGS# 86547 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+
