THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 218<br />
T$1 1877 TRADE. PCGS MS64 CAC<br />
Here is a very high end Trade dollar for the type or date<br />
collector. Showing off a frosty mint luster that blooms on<br />
both sides (unusual for an 1877). Delicately toned with a hint<br />
of pearly clear gold tone that dusts over the highly lustrous<br />
surfaces. Each detail is fully rendered from an exacting blow<br />
from the dies and the surfaces show only a few light marks, that<br />
are only visible with a strong glass. The eye appeal is very nice,<br />
great for any collection.<br />
PCGS 80, NGC 63, CAC 16. There has not been a PCGS/CAC<br />
example sold in auction since April 2013, when one sold for<br />
$3,819 and another for $3,<strong>29</strong>0. A great looking coin like this does<br />
not appear very often and this date is VERY RARE any finer!<br />

LOT 219<br />
T$1 1877-S TRADE. PCGS MS63 CAC<br />
This coin is not only SUPER HIGH END, but it is also FULL<br />
Legend quality, and even full Bruce Morelan quality (former<br />
owner of the #1 all-time Mint State set). If all MS63’s looked<br />
like this, they be $5,000 coins! The surfaces are amazing. Ticks<br />
and lines are so few that unless you look really hard, you don’t<br />
see any. You will still be impressed by the smooth surfaces and<br />
cleanliness even when using a strong glass. The luster is bold and<br />
you can see the totally unbroken cartwheel from across the room.<br />
There is a slight hint of auburn like toning on the rims only. The<br />
balance of the coin is a vibrant silvery white. Clearly this coin has<br />
never been messed with. ALL of the details are heavily frosted<br />
and are fully struck. The eye appeal is super gorgeous!<br />
PCGS 221, NGC 143, CAC 21. The last PCGS CAC piece<br />
to sell in auction brought $1,410 in August 2017. We will<br />
challenge this coin’s quality and eye appeal vs ANY MS63!<br />
Even if you do not collect Trade Dollars and wanted one special<br />
really nice coin-here it is! Seeing is believing!<br />

T$1 1878 TRADE. PCGS PR66 CAM<br />
CAC<br />
This is a beautiful Premium Quality GEM<br />
78 Trade Dollar in a spectacular grade.<br />
What an amazing Proof! Dusky gold<br />
and rose shades cover both sides with a<br />
regal elegance seldom found and always<br />
appreciated. The rims offer deeper blue<br />
which lightens to crimson and russet in the<br />
fields. Glorious reflectivity in the fields<br />
which is undiminished by handling marks!<br />
The mirrors offer a bold, flashy, watery<br />
reflection that is stunning. Only 900 Proofs<br />
were struck and this is one of the absolute<br />
FINEST, not just in terms of technical<br />
quality, but in terms of eye appeal as well! Only six are graded this high with a cameo designation with a scant three finer! That gives<br />
the buyer a pretty clear indication of how rare this Trade Dollar is when found so well preserved.<br />
PCGS 6, NGC 3, CAC 1. This is the only CAC coin at this grade level with the CAMEO designation. We sold this GEM in our<br />
October 2015 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong> for $10,869 and there was a previous record for this coin at $11,750.00 (1/15) which we feel is<br />
too low! The current PCGS value is listed at $14,000 and in the CAM designation, PCGS has graded just two coins finer. Just<br />
one look at this impressive Trade dollar, and you will fall in love for sure!<br />
