THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />

LOT 185<br />

50C 1902 PCGS PR67 CAC<br />

Original and flashy in every<br />

way! what an amazing looking<br />

1902 half dollar! SUPERB<br />

quality icy mirrors beam<br />

with an intense shimmering<br />

reflective brilliance. Splashes<br />

of multicolored toning graces<br />

the essentially FLAWLESS<br />

surfaces. Blues, golds, tans,<br />

olives, and amber tones<br />

all blend together, clearly<br />

imparted from long term<br />

storage in the original paper<br />

wrapper. The eye appeal is<br />

very cool and high end.<br />

Only 777 were struck. PCGS 9, NGC 14, CAC 12. We sold a similar looking non-CAC coin in our June 2015 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong><br />

for $7,931 and in September 2014 a PCGS/CAC sold for $7,638. Keep in mind that none are graded finer than PR67+ and the<br />

most recent to sell realized over $15,000! Bound for the finest set of Barber proofs!<br />

PCGS# 6549 | ESTIMATE: $7,250+<br />

LOT 187<br />

50C 1918-S PCGS MS64 CAC<br />

A totally original example of this early date, conditionally scarce<br />

Walker. Vibrant, satiny surfaces show off a wonderful blend of<br />

gold and iridescent lilac-silver hues. Showing a better than average<br />

striking definition, this near-gem quality 18-S has a great look that<br />

will delight any collector of early Walkers.<br />

PCGS 641, NGC 242, CAC 59. The last two PCGS/CAC examples<br />

sold for $2,640 the 2018 ANA being the most recent. The current<br />

PCGS Price Guide value is $2,350. VERY RARE in GEM grades,<br />

the last PCGS/CAC MS65 sold for $38,400! This coin represents a<br />

great value for the collector!<br />

PCGS# 6576 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+<br />

LOT 186<br />

50C 1907 PCGS PR66 CAC<br />

From our <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong> V, December 2013, lot 140, where it was<br />

described as:<br />

“Totally magnificent! You can tell the collector who consigned<br />

this coin had a very good eye. The mirrors are super deep, crystal<br />

clear, incredibly reflective, and have amazing clarity. A killer mix of<br />

original golden brown/ honey/ blue/ pale green swirls all over. Miss<br />

Liberty and the details are frosted a silvery white and have needle<br />

sharp strikes. This is a really special 1907 Proof Barber Half!”<br />

Only 575 proofs were struck. PCGS 18, NGC 36, CAC 7. This coin is the only CAC-approved example to sell in auction, realizing<br />

$4,600 in the December 2013 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong>. The Proof Barber half dollar values have come down since then, BUT, this beauty’s<br />

eye appeal and high end quality will vault it to another very strong final bid!<br />

PCGS# 6554 | ESTIMATE: $3,200+<br />
