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

LOT 189<br />

50C 1919-D PCGS MS64+ CAC<br />

Sometimes we wonder what the services were thinking<br />

when a coin crosses the grader’s desk. What did they see<br />

when grading this coin? To us, 64+ looks conservative!<br />

While we make no guarantees, we think this 1919-D is<br />

closer to MS65 grade than MS64. One look at this high<br />

quality example and you will agree its very HIGH END!<br />

This is a major condition rarity in this series! A strong<br />

luster gleams and glows from all over on this totally<br />

original early Walker. The satiny surfaces are smooth and<br />

incredibly clean. If this was a common date, it would<br />

have likely graded higher. The devices are all sharply<br />

struck up, there is just a hint of the slightest weakness<br />

on Liberty’s head. There is a tiny tick in the obverse<br />

but it does not affect the amazing eye appeal. The luster<br />

brings out the subtle lilac, icy blue, pale gold and light<br />

rose comes out in the light. Overall this is one of nicest<br />

examples we have had the pleasure of offering!<br />

PCGS 91, NGC 77, CAC 22. There are seven coins listed<br />

in 64+, and we believe that there is some duplication<br />

in the pops. The Population in MS65 is 11 and 1 in 66.<br />

While MS64+s have sold in the $32,000 to $41,125 range<br />

these are $200,000+ coins in MS65. This one, being so<br />

high end for the grade is certainly worthy of a premium<br />

bid and will sell for more than the current PCGS value of<br />

$42,500. A great coin for any PCGS Registry Set.<br />

PCGS# 6578 | ESTIMATE: $45,000+<br />
