Regency Auction 33

LOT 366 $1 1889-CC PCGS MS62 An important KEY Carson City Morgan dollar issue in all grades, the 89-CC is a major rarity in any Mint State grade. The original mintage was a small 350,000 and there were no bags that remained in the treasury vaults that were released in the early 1970s as part of the famed G.S.A. hoard, in fact, there was exactly ONE 89-CC in that holding! Thus, any Mint State survivor exists by pure chance and nothing else! This handsome example has a wonderful, brilliant mint luster that has some very distinctive, semi-reflective tendencies in the fields that really give this borderline CHOICE 89-CC a very pleasing eye appeal. The devices are frosty and nicely struck up. PCGS got this one spot on, as there are just some minor traces of contact seen on both sides, but none of the marks are serious enough to mention individually or have an impact on the eye appeal. PCGS 114, NGC 97. Going back to December 2017, there have been 10 non-CAC PCGS MS62 1889-CC dollars sold in auction, realizing an average of $32,400 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $40,000. This very pleasing example should bring spirited bidding from the advanced Morgan dollar collector. For many collectors, anything finer is unobtainable, placing lots of demand on MS62s. Good luck!

LOT 367 LOT 368 $1 1889-O PCGS MS65 $1 1891-O PCGS MS64+ CAC A bold and brilliant GEM. A strong, swirling cartwheel luster This is a near-GEM example that offers a satiny mint frost. The blooms all over. For an O-mint, this GEM 89-O has a great strike, surfaces are original with the lightest dusting of color. The weak with only the slightest weakness in Libertyís hair curls; the reverse is strike is typical for the date, but the eye appeal is better than lovely with essentially full, crisply defined details. There are a few average. RARE finer, so many collectors opt for 64+ graded coins for tiny stray marks and lines from bag storage that can be found, but their sets. are all completely acceptable for the assigned grade. Very scarce in MS65, RARE any finer. PCGS 1861, NGC 1103, CAC 144. PCGS has graded 150 in 64+ and the most recent CAC-approved example sold in our January PCGS 246, NGC 55. The most recent sold in April 2019 for $2,400 2019 Regency Auction for $1,146 and the current Collectors and the current PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $3,000. Very rare Universe value is listed at $1,200. finer, with just 32 graded higher. A really nice looking GEM for any high end collection.

LOT 369 $1 1892-O PCGS MS66 Among the FINEST KNOWN 1892-O Morgan dollars, behind just two that are graded finer. A boldly lustrous GEM that borders on SUPERB quality, the presently offered MS66 is a true delight to behold. One where the technical and aesthetic qualities are extremely HIGH END. Sharply struck up with full definition on the hair curls above Liberty’s ear. The cheek is rounded and smooth with a bold frost, with just a few microscopic ticks seen in the frosty textured surface. Bold brilliance swirls all over. The fields are extremely smooth, problem free, and mostly untoned. We note the lightest of pale gold that is delicately dusted on the surfaces. Looking at the reverse under a glass shows some light mint made roller lines, and they are very faint and do not detract from the outstanding eye appeal. Despite a mintage of 2,744,000, very few were saved at the time of issue. A number of bags were dispersed in the 1950s and 1960s, and there were rumors of a bag that had many gems reported in 1977 by Wayne Miller. Today, the Population data from PCGS and NGC do not support these claims. While PCGS CoinFacts estimates 100,000 Mint State coins that survive, the survival estimate drops to 625 for MS65 and finer examples. The finest known example was saved at time of issue, bought at the mint by collector J. Colvin Randall, who sold it to John M. Clapp. That coin ended up in the Eliasberg collection, and most recently sold in our October 2014 Regency Auction of the Sunnywood/Simpson Collection. Clearly the presently offered beauty survives by pure happenstance and today’s numismatists should be grateful to have the opportunity to own this wonderful survivor. PCGS 6, NGC 4. Not only are these EXCESSIVELY RARE at the present grade level, but they are also very rarely encountered in the market; in 20 years, there have been just THREE auction sales! The last time any PCGS MS66 sold in auction was in the 2009 FUN auction--a full decade ago! And it was nearly a full seven years after the next most recent example sold. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $40,000 and with finest known and close to finest known Morgans selling very well right now, we anticipate that value will end up being too low and will have to be adjusted upward after the hammer falls on this lot. A world class example bound for a world class set! Good luck! PCGS# 7216 | ESTIMATE: $32,000+ 151

LOT 370 $1 1894-O PCGS MS64 CAC Fallout from the Panic of 1893 was a reduction of mintages of all coins. While 1,723,000 were coined in New Orleans, these went directly into wide spread circulation, and few were saved at the time of issue--indeed, if you add up the current PCGS and NGC Populations in MS60 to MS65+ totals fewer than three bags (and that takes into account duplicate submissions of the same coin looking for upgrades). The present near-GEM example is satiny lustrous and wonderfully free of any serious bagmarks or other contact. The devices are relatively sharp for the date, with just some minor weakness at the centers of either side. The eye appeal is exceptional for the grade and can be defined as PQ. PCGS 368, NGC 234, CAC 68. The most recent example to sell in auction was the Star City coin in our January 2019 Regency Auction 30, which brought $9,106. Prior to that one sold in in the 2018 ANA auction for $9,000 and the Stone Collection coin brought $11,875 in May 2018. Keep in mind that a 64+ is a five-figure coin and is extremely rare any finer. A great coin for any high grade set of Morgan dollars. PCGS# 7230 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ LOT 371 $1 1894-S PCGS MS65 CAC This is a bold, blazing, and brilliant GEM example of this semi-key issue. Only 1,260,000 were struck for commerce, and relatively few GEMs, like the present coin, survive to satisfy collector demand. Smooth, clean surfaces show off a bold, radiant mint bloom that glows all over. The reverse is particularly bold and has some semi-reflective tendencies. The devices are frosty and crisply struck. There are a few, tiny ticks, which account for the assigned MS65 grade. The technical and visual quality is quite high end! PCGS 168, NGC 38, CAC 37. The most recent example realized $7,000 in December 2018, while other examples have sold in the $5,400 to $9,000 range and Collectors Universe lists a value at $5,500. With such a wide range of APRs, only the final hammer will dictate what this GEM is really worth. RARE any finer! Good luck! PCGS# 7232 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ 152

LOT 372 $1 1895-S PCGS MS65+ PL CAC Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer this AMAZING Prooflike GEM example of this low mintage, semi-KEY date. This marvelous coin ranks as the second finest graded by PCGS in the designation and amongst the very FINEST KNOWN examples of the date. A vibrant, bold, flashy GEM with brilliant, reflective cartwheel luster. The fields have a bold mirror-like flash contrast against the well struck and frosty devices. The surfaces are of exceptional quality with no serious marks to be found anywhere of any kind. The eye appeal is amazing. Still recovering from the financial panic of 1893, the mintages were still low in 1895, with only 450,000 struck for the date. Many of these went right into circulation, any Mint State grade is scarce. Prooflike examples are RARE in all grades, especially in MS64 or finer. PCGS has graded only one in each grade in PL: 64+, MS65, MS65+ and 66+. PCGS 2, NGC 10, CAC 3. This is the only 65+ PL and it sold for $60,000 in November 2017. With AMAZING Morgan dollars bringing very strong prices, it would not be a shock to us if this monster GEM ended up closer to the current PCGS Price Guide value of $78,000. This is a remarkable and beautiful example, worthy of any WORLD CLASS Morgan dollar collection, and will be a highlight of the next collection it graces. Good luck. PCGS# 7239 | ESTIMATE: $50,000+ 153

LOT 373 $1 1896 PCGS MS67 CAC Ex Sunnywood-Simpson Collections. A truly spectacular SUPERB GEM that was added to the original Sunnywood Collection from the late dealer, Mike DeFalco, who was an early specialist in toned Morgan dollars. The swirling colors are rich and the totally original patina is heavy on the surfaces. However, as you rotate the lustrous surfaces in a light, the variegated shades of pale-teal, amber-gold, violet-brown, and tangerine-peach mingle together leaving just subtle traces of the original silver surfaces gleaming in areas. The originality of the patina is really captivating, and the only distraction mentioned for accuracy is an ancient fingerprint on Liberty’s cheek, which is otherwise smooth and mark free. The eye appeal is SUPERB! PCGS 241, NGC 67, CAC 78. When this marvelous toner sold in our October 2014 sale of the Sunnywood-Simpson Collection, it brought $7,931 on an estimate of $4,500-$5,000. This spectacular coin deserves to be placed in another world class set and should bring a strong bid! Good luck! PCGS# 7240 | ESTIMATE: $6,500+ LOT 374 $1 1896 PCGS MS67+ CAC Ex Vanderbilt Collection, as noted on the holder. Visually, this coin is a stunning SUPERB GEM! Indeed, were it not for a natural mint made planchet flake and a single contact mark, this coin would likely grade even higher, if you could even imagine that. Not only is the surface quality exceptional in every way, but that is only part of the story. This coin is also beautifully toned with silvery pale green that blends into a deep, orange-gold, that then fades to a golden-green hue. We rate the color a 9+ on our color scale and this is a very rarely seen color palette. The devices are sharply struck up and there is just a single line on the jaw line that we note for accuracy, but the eye appeal is unimpeachable! We have truly fallen in love with this beauty and we know if you collect high end Morgan dollars you will too! PCGS 273, NGC 68, CAC 77. PCGS has graded 31 in MS67+. The last two PCGS MS67+ CAC coins to sell brought $7,050 in our July and September 2018 Regency Auctions and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $7,250. Just two MS68s are graded finer, and the price guide is $25,000 (clearly an estimate, as neither have ever sold). This is a huge opportunity to acquire a very high end, high grade, beautifully toned example, don’t let it pass you by! PCGS# 7240 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ 154

LOT 375 $1 1897 PCGS MS67 CAC Ex Vanderbilt and Jack Lee Collections, as noted by PCGS. Despite the Population figures, this is a very tough date to find in truly SUPERB grades. Couple this coin’s exceptional quality with its famed pedigree, and it is a real prize for the advanced Morgan dollar collector. This is a very high end SUPERB GEM! In terms of technical quality, this coin is all there and then some! Sharply struck devices are fully frosted and stand out against the highly lustrous surfaces. While we note a few stray marks, the eye appeal is unaffected. The surface quality is impeccable and the visual allure is wonderful. PCGS 39, NGC 11, CAC 8. We had the honor of selling the last two PCGS/CAC examples: the RanJack coin sold in July 2018 for $7,638 and the P.F.M./Cajun Collection coin sold for $7,931 in May 2018. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $9,000 and only two coins are graded finer at PCGS, both MS67+, and only one has sold, realizing $23,500 in April 2017. A world class pedigree that will make a great addition to another world class collection of Morgans! PCGS# 7246 | ESTIMATE: $6,500+ LOT 376 $1 1897-O PCGS MS64 A surprising Condition Rarity, despite a mintage of over 4 million, the majority of the mintage was likely melted during the great silver dollar melt that resulted from the 1918 Pittman Act. A rich, frosty luster is seen on both sides with a warm, pearly glow. The devices have a better than usually seen strike, with just some minor weakness in the central devices. A glass reveals a few minor contact marks. Pale gold is seen when rotated in a light. The eye appeal is great for the date/grade. PCGS 45, NGC 27. We sold the P.F.M. Collection coin in May 2018 for $12,338 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $13,000. VERY RARE any finer, with 16 graded higher. This high end CHOICE Mint State coin will fit into any great set of Morgan dollars. PCGS# 7248 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+ 155

The devices are frosty and iridescent gold toning on either side. Well struck devices are frosty well struck, providing decent near-cameo contrast. Both sides are and sharp, adding to the excellent eye appeal. untoned and ultra lustrous with nary a mark to distract the eye. PCGS 968, NGC 492, CAC 267. In MS66+, PCGS has graded 130. PCGS 6, NGC 0. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at Mostly selling in the $575 to $660 range--we sold one for $940 in $4,000 and the most recent example sold for $3,000 in the 2018 January 2019. The current PCGS value is listed at $675, but this one FUN auction. Just four are finer, the most recent MS67 PL sold for should bring more than that! $12,338 in our May 2018 sale of the PFM Collection. Good luck! PCGS# 7252 | ESTIMATE: $700+ PCGS# 7251 | ESTIMATE: $2,600+ LOT 379 $1 1898-O PCGS MS67+ CAC Tied for FINEST graded, this SUPERB GEM is clearly worthy of its lofty grade! Everything about this coin is HIGH END! The frosty and impeccably struck devices stand out and are the epitome of essentially flawless cleanliness. The cartwheel luster has a vibrant satiny glow that is totally untoned and SUPERB! A powerful glass will reveal a tiny tick, the only thing that keeps it from likely a higher grade. This amazing coin sits at the apex of the Population and will delight any demanding collector looking to build the BEST quality Morgan dollar set. PCGS 338, NGC 189, CAC 111. PCGS graded 27 coins in 67+ with NONE finer. We have had the pleasure of selling a number of these recently, mostly in the $10,500-$12,500 range. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $12,500, and this one will rank up there with the other two we had the pleasure of selling. Good luck! PCGS# 7254 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+ 156

LOT 380 LOT 381 $1 1898-S PCGS MS66 CAC $1 1899-O PCGS MS66 CAC A borderline Prooflike example that boasts a great look. Intensely This is a very pretty, double sided toner. Easter egg blue, rose, lustrous surfaces have reflective mirrored fields, that are about 3” gold, lilac, teal, and golden-peach toning blanket both sides of this deep, not the 4” required for a PL designation. The design elements vibrant, satiny lustrous GEM. The cheek is smooth with just a trace are sharply struck and are highly frosted. The cheek is especially of contact noted, accounting for the grade.

PCGS# 7260 | ESTIMATE: $750+ This date is very rare any finer, and this highly appealing GEM is worthy of a great collection of Morgan dollars. PCGS# 7256 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ LOT 382 $1 1899-O PCGS MS67+ CAC Ex Vanderbilt Collection, as noted on the insert. It boggles our minds how close to sheer perfection this coin is; not only are the surfaces smooth, they are essentially mark free. Even using a powerful glass, you won’t think less of the coin-it really is that clean. A strong glowing luster beams from all over. The peripheries have a thin band of auburn/blue/golden brown colors. Of course, the centers are a totally original creamy white. Miss Liberty and every detail are fully struck and stand out with strong frosting. Her cheek is the absolute epitome of perfection! The eye appeal is incredible! PCGS 205, NGC 117, CAC 71. PCGS has graded only 20 in MS67+. The current Collectors Universe value is $12,500 and the most recent example to sell realized $15,000. We expect this SUPERB GEM to sell for a very strong price! It fully belongs in a world class collection. PCGS# 7260 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+ 157

LOT 383 $1 1902-O PCGS MS67 CAC PCGS showed this marvelous SUPERB GEM no mercy. It is for sure the epitome of perfection! To the naked eye the surfaces all over look perfect. Using a strong glass we were more than impressed to find nothing bigger then a microscopic tick. The surfaces are also satiny smooth. A full booming luster beams from all over. Both sides are a crisp white color. This coin does not look like it was ever messed with in any way. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have delicate frost. The eye appeal is incredible! PCGS 39, NGC 26, CAC 11. The last PCGS CAC MS67 to sell in auction brought $16,450 in January 2017. First, this coin has few if any equals. Second we do not understand why it did not + as we think it should have (we make NO promises). Third, the last one to sell in auction really did sell in a weaker sale. This coin has all the bells and whistles to make it possibly a runaway! Good luck! PCGS# 7280 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ LOT 384 $1 1903-O PCGS MS67 CAC The oft-told story about this coin’s former rarity shows how things in the market can change instantaneously if a hoard is found. The 03-O was one of the rarest dates in Mint State in the Morgan series, that was until the Treasury found a hoard of original bags in a vault, and released them into circulation in the early 1960s. Luckily today for collectors, it is a generally available date in most Mint State grades that has a neat historical story. The presently offered SUPERB GEM is virtually perfect! We really cannot imagine that too many other MS67s are as visually alluring as this beauty. A very strong cartwheel luster rolls along the exceptionally smooth and seductive surfaces. Ms. Liberty and the details offer fully struck and crisply defined devices. A pale silver-white iridescent tone attests to its unmolested originality. PCGS 96, NGC 51, CAC 29. The most recent was the Ex Jackson Hole coin, which we sold in November 2018 for $7,638 and prior to that, it sold in December 2017 for $8,519. We also sold the RanJack coin for $8,225 in July 2018. Clearly CAC-approved examples are worth a huge premium! Just 2 MS67+s have ever been graded finer, neither of which have ever sold in auction. This SUPERB GEM is worthy of any high end set of Morgan dollars and it will see steep bidding competition! Good luck! PCGS# 7286 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+ 158

LOT 385 $1 1903-S PCGS MS65+ CAC Ex Mike Casper Collection, as noted on the insert. A vibrantly lustrous GEM example of this conditionally very rare date. Satiny smooth surfaces are brilliant silver white all over with just tinges of deep coppery-red in a few spots near the rims. The devices are sharply struck and the cheek is fully rounded and smooth with not even the most insignificant tick or line anywhere to be seen. Totally original, this GEM is a true delight for any advanced Morgan dollar collector. PCGS 154, NGC 38, CAC 31. The most recent example sold in April 2019 for $11,100, and this one sold in April 2016 for $12,925. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $15,000. RARE any finer! This is an important opportunity for the advanced collector. PCGS# 7288 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ LOT 386 $1 1921 MORGAN. PCGS MS67 Not only is this marvelously toned 1921 tied for FINEST graded, it is also the most beautifully toned example of this date we have ever seen! Indeed it really looks more like a common date toner than anything else you will ever see for a 1921. Bands of green, magenta, gold, blue and brilliant original silver line up in wonderful arching parallels on the obverse. The color would rate a 9 on our 10-point scale if it was an 81-S, 85-O, or 86; but for a 21, it is off the charts! In addition to the stupendous eye appeal imparted by the amazing toning, the luster is bold and radiating with brilliant rolling cartwheels. The surfaces are smooth, free of all but one tiny mark on the cheek. The reverse has a soft olive/gold patina that accents the sharply struck devices. This amazing, high end SUPERB GEM is the PCGS CoinFacts plate coin and will be a real highlight to any set of toned Morgan dollars. PCGS 17, NGC 11. There has not been a PCGS-graded example sold in auction since the 2017 ANA auction, a coin that brought $9,988 but it was not wildly toned like this. The Coronet Collection, sold in October 2015 in our Regency Auction was blast white, CAC approved and sold for nearly $20,000. For a 1921 this coin is a monster and will see very strong bidding, likely making our estimate look way too low in hindsight! Good luck! PCGS# 7296 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ 159

LOT 387 $1 1880 PCGS PR67+ CAM CAC This is a gorgeous Proof Morgan dollar. Seriously, if you seek just a single example for a Proof type set, you really should strongly consider this SUPERB GEM. Everything about it is high end! Both sides display a lovely, totally original patina. The obverse is framed by rainbow hues that yield to a brilliant silver center. The reverse has a dusting of teal, gold and rose iridescent toning that suggests this coin sat undisturbed for many, many years on some sort of fabric such as velvet or felt. The mirrors show off an intense reflectivity and vivid flash that offers a bold depth of clarity. The devices are well struck and have a full, thick frost that, especially on the obverse, has a SUPERB contrast against the fields. This beauty is among the top dozen graded in the CAMEO designation and is deserving of its lofty placement in the known population. PCGS 16, NGC 23, CAC 7. PCGS has graded 2 in PR67+ CAM and neither have ever sold in auction. We sold a non-CAMEO example for $18,213 in November 2018. This SUPERB GEM CAMEO Proof 1880 dollar should bring closer to the current Collectors Universe value of $26,500. There are eight coins in PR68 CAM and one in 69 CAM finer. In PR68 CAM, the Collectors Universe value is listed at $41,500. This coin is more than worthy of a fantastic collection of Proof Morgan dollars or type coins. It will bring a strong price when the gavel falls. PCGS# 87315 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 160

LOT 388 $1 1885 PCGS PR66+ CAM CAC WOW, is this coin totally unlike what you normally see for a Proof 1885. The eye appeal is very high end! This coin has a SUPERB look with exceptionally deep contrast. Deep, highly reflective mirrored fields beam from all over and have a headlight-like blazing look when viewed in a light. The highly frosted devices are razor sharp in strike and stand out vividly from the fields. Totally untoned, both sides are a blistering brilliant silver. The eye appeal is very high end and wonderful! Only 930 Proofs were struck. PCGS 25, NGC 13, CAC 12. There are only five PCGS PR66+ CAMs on the Population Report; the last one to sell in auction was CAC approved and brought $14,688 in the November 2018 Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $18,500. Only four examples have graded finer, the finest being a single PR68 CAM. The finest to ever sell was a PR67 CAM, a coin that did not have CAC approval A great coin for any collector of high end Proof Morgans. PCGS# 87320 | ESTIMATE: $12,500+ LOT 389 $1 1891 PCGS PR64 CAM CAC Need a new headlight for your car, or a flash light? This coin will serve you well! It is also of VERY HIGH END quality. Deep mirrors are intensely flashy. The mirrors also have remarkable clarity and are super clean. This coin does not have hidden brush lines like so many do. When you twirl this coin, all you see is the nearly blinding mirrors rolling around. There are two well hidden toning dots, other wise this coin is untoned. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have thick creamy white frost. The eye appeal is quite impressive! Only 650 were minted. PCGS 25, NGC 14, CAC 5. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $3,760 in September 2016. Three years with out any hitting the auction block says tough date and grade to find! We really like this coin, and we think you will too! PCGS# 87326 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+ 161

LOT 390 $1 1895 NGC PR64 The King of the Morgan dollars! The lowest mintage KEY date in all grades, despite a recorded mintage of 12,000 for circulation, NONE have ever turned up, making the 880 Proofs that were struck the only Philadelphia mint Morgans for collectors’ sets today. The present PR64 is fully CHOICE and totally original. Deep azure and rose toning envelope both sides, the subtle differences in hue brought out by the rich, watery reflective mirrored fields. There are a few of the most microscopic lines that are seen with the aid of a VERY strong glass, not visible to the naked eye, and are not unexpected at the PR64 grade level. The eye appeal is wonderful for the grade. As mentioned earlier, only 880 Proofs were struck, and these are the only known examples for the date. PCGS 58, NGC 47. The last non-CAC NGC-graded coin sold in the 2008 FUN auction--that’s over a decade ago! Since then, two CAC-approved NGC coins have sold, the most recent in June 2016 for $65,277 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $68,500. Worthy of a strong bid and placement in a carefully selected set of Morgan dollars. PCGS# 7330 | ESTIMATE: $48,000+ 162

LOT 391 $1 1897 PCGS PR66 CAM CAC This is a VERY HIGH END true Cameo piece. Why PCGS did not + it, is anyone’s guess. Intense deep mirrors beam from all over. The mirrors have bold cleanliness and clarity (NO haze). The contrast is an amazing silvery black and white with faint hints of pale gold. When the coin is twirled, the mirrors flow like a river of liquid mercury that nearly blinds you. There are NO spots or any detractions. It looks like just a few microscopic die polishing lines are all that keep this coin from PR67 Cameo. Miss Liberty and every detail are fully struck and have thick silvery frosting. The eye appeal is tremendous! Only 731 were minted. PCGS 5 NGC 7, CAC 4. The pop in PR66 is mind boggling to us after 30+ years of operations and how many CAC has beaned in PR 66 to date. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $10,575 in January 2019. The current Collectors Universe Value is $11,500. We expect strong bidding on this superb coin. PCGS# 87332 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ LOT 392 $1 1902 PCGS PR67+ CAC Ex Jack Lee. No question this piece ranks among the finest known for the date-- no question this is a VERY HIGH END coin. To know the date and how they come, you unhesitatingly have to agree this coin really is one of the very best that exists! This coin has extremely deep mirrors which boom (not just beam from) all over. The mirrors are ultimate in cleanliness, clarity, and have a bold reflection. You don’t even have to twirl this coin to see rolling liquid mercury. A mellow but lively mix of original pale golden brown champagne colors swirl in patches all over. This coin has so much life you really need sunglasses to view it! Miss Liberty and the details are needle sharp and fully struck. They also have a delicate silvery frost (note 1902-1904 silver proofs are very rare in cameo). The eye appeal is like the quality-amazing! Only 777 Proofs were struck. PCGS 7, NGC 10, CAC 5. There are only 2 in PR67+ and two finer. This coin last sold in September 2018 for $21,150 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $27,500.

We had the honor of selling one of the FINEST, a PCGS MS66+ CAC for a record $176,250 in March 2019.

PCGS# 7371 | ESTIMATE: $1,400+ LOT 410 $1 1927-S PCGS MS64+ The 27-S is one of the classic condition rarities in the series, with MS65s being quite rare, and the date is excessively so any finer. MS64+s make a great value play option for the collector looking for a high grade piece without the high grade price. Dappled, iridescent, pastel toning is dusted over the brilliantly lustrous surfaces. For a date that typically comes very poorly struck, this example has pleasing definition with essentially full details on Liberty’s hair curls, and just some softness on the eagle’s wing. Under a strong glass we note the few tiny ticks that limit this near-GEM to the assigned MS64+ level, but they do not detract from the overall eye appeal. PCGS 1633, NGC 1074, CAC 282. PCGS has graded 140 in MS64+. RARE any finer, PCGS has graded just 102 between MS65 to MS66, NONE FINER.

The details are fully defined on both sides and the surfaces are free of all but the most insignificant frost breaks, none of which do much to deter from the outstanding brilliance or eye appeal of this GEM. PCGS 369, NGC 104. Because of its rarity in higher grades, we think there is a certainly duplication on the population reports. The current PCGS Price Guide lists the value at $3,500, and there is a wide range of APRs from non-CAC coins, the average being about $2,500. The most recent example that we sold was in our July 2018 Premier Session, a coin that realized $2,640. VERY RARE finer, this is a pleasing example of this important date.

LOT 416 $1 1934-S PCGS MS66 CAC The star of this collection and one of the FINEST graded examples of this conditionally RARE late date. A near twin to the example we sold from the Crow River Collection in 2018, this 34-S Peace dollar is exceptionally HIGH END! A bold, vibrant luster glows throughout the highly frosted surfaces. Well struck for the issue with essentially full, complete definition throughout. A tinge of pale golden iridescent toning gently caresses the peripheral areas of the obverse. Nary a mark can be found anywhere except for a couple of bag marks on the eagle. The eye appeal is SUPERB! PCGS 32, NGC 13, CAC 11. The aforementioned Crow River Collection coin that we sold in May 2018 realized $32,900. Only two others have ever sold in auction, one for $32,900 in the 2015 ANA Auction and prior to that, one sold in the 2011 CSNS auction for $34,500. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $40,000. Just a single MS66+ is graded finer, a coin that has never sold in auction. This high end, high grade example is worthy of the FINEST of Peace dollar collections and we know that with the series being very fiercely sought right now, a coin like this will bring a very strong price. This coin is a prize for the Registry Set crowd for sure! PCGS# 7377 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 172

LOT 417 $1 1935 PCGS MS66+ CAC Not only is this beautifully toned example tied for the FINEST graded example, but it is visually exceptional in every way. Both sides are framed with a multi-hued halo of color, likely from long term storage in an old collector album, which is enlivened by the frosty, satin mint luster that blooms vividly on both sides. The strike is crisp throughout with full definition on both sides, even on the eagle’s wing, which often comes flatly defined. The surfaces show just a couple of minute bag marks, which are all that keep this stunner from an even higher grade. Regardless, this coin is VERY high end and offers a stunning eye appeal for the date. PCGS 330, NGC 74, CAC 116. There are 67 in MS66+ at PCGS, which is the highest grade at that service. The most recent to sell in auction realized $8,225 in our March 2019 Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $7,000 and we anticipate this borderline-SUPERB coin will realize a strong price. If you are working on a high end set, you owe it to yourself to view and bid on this exceptional coin! PCGS# 7378 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ LOT 418 $1 1935-S PCGS MS66 CAC Highly lustrous and totally original. What a great way to conclude this fantastic collection! While the 35-S has the highest mintage of all 1930s dated Peace dollars, most were stored in vaults and released into circulation in 1949/1950. While common enough in lower Mint State grades, the 35-S is conditionally RARE in MS66 and finer grades. Mostly a brilliant, highly lustrous silver with traces of pale gold and iridescent toning, mostly limited to the peripheries. Well struck devices stand out on both sides. Based on the scattered contact marks, we believe this one was received from one of the aforementioned bags distributed in 1949/1950. PCGS 182, NGC 63, CAC 59. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,500 and the average of the last 10 PCGS/CAC coins comes to $4,638. The two most recent selling in the 2018 ANA auction, both from the Anne Kate Collection. One brought $5,760 and this one realized $3,240. We have sold several examples as well, including the May 2018 sale of the Crow River coin, which brought $5,758. Just 21 are graded finer, and the Collector’s Universe value for a 66+ is $12,000. This is a great looking coin, worthy of another major collection of Peace dollars, and we know it will see fierce bidding! PCGS# 7379 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+ 173

LOT 419 $1 1922-S PCGS MS66 This Premium GEM 22-S is among the FINEST graded at PCGS and this is a real prize for the Registry Set collector. While the mint churned out nearly 17.5 million silver dollars, this date is truly RARE in high grade. In over 32 years of operations, PCGS has graded just 13 in MS66 with a single MS66+ finer. Frosty, silvery-gray surfaces have a warm, satiny luster that radiates with a mint brilliance on both sides. The devices are nicely impressed, with essentially complete definition on both sides. A dusting of pearly, iridescent silver with subtle, clear gold accents highlight the generally smooth surfaces, that are devoid of all but the most microscopic lines and ticks that you need a strong loupe to find. The eye appeal is bold. PCGS 13, NGC 15. The most recent one to sell in auction was the CAC-approved example that was part of the Crow River Collection that we sold in May 2018 for $41,125. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $45,000. Just a single coin is graded finer, a coin that has NEVER sold in auction. This coin is bound for the FINEST of Peace dollar sets and should bring a serious bid! PCGS# 7359 | ESTIMATE: $32,000+ 174

LOT 420 $1 1923 PCGS MS64 A pastel toned borderline GEM. Sharply struck devices stand out with a bold, brilliant luster that swirls all over. Golden-peach, aquamarine, cobalt, and orange hues are brought out in the light. The grade is limited to the 64 level because of a contact mark or two on the reverse, but the eye appeal is outstanding. Of course, Peace dollars tone differently than Morgans--they are much harder to find with attractive coloration, as seen on this beauty. Certainly worthy of a strong bid from the specialist collector, we rate the color an 8 on our 10-point scale. Good luck! PCGS# 7360 | ESTIMATE: $1,000+ LOT 421 $1 1924 NGC MS67+ This GEM 1924 Peace dollar is tied for second FINEST at NGC, with just a single MS68 graded finer. Bold, satiny luster in the fields accents the frosted lustrous devices. Even with a strong glass the surfaces are unmarred by any serious marks of any kind; indeed, all we see are die lines and the typical “pickled” 1924 texture. Sharply struck, and lightly toned, it is a very pleasing coin to look at. PCGS 0, NGC 5. There have been 2 NGC MS67+s sold in auction, the most recent being CAC-approved, selling for $8,225 in March 2017. Prior to that, a non-CAC coin sold for $5,141.

A few light, scattered contact marks are noted for the sake of full disclosure, but none detract from the outstanding eye appeal. PCGS 1575, NGC 922, CAC 219. PCGS has graded 157 in MS64+ and the population drops dramatically after that. The last PCGS/ CAC MS64+ to sell in auction brought $2,100 in February 2019, and prior to that, one sold in December 2018 for $2,280.

A great coin that is VERY PCGS 2177, NGC 1612, CAC 318. The last one to sell brought RARE any finer. $576 in April 2019 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $575. This is a conditionally very rare issue with only 43 graded PCGS 224, NGC 77, CAC 54. The most recent example that we sold MS65 as finest. This highly attractive example is about as close to was from our May 2019 sale of the Issaquah Estate, which realized GEM as you can get without the five-figure price tag. Good luck! $7,344 on a $3,500-$4,000 estimate. Prior to that, another sold for $6,300 in February 2019. What a great opportunity to own a GEM PCGS# 7366 | ESTIMATE: $500+ of this conditionally difficult date. PCGS# 7371 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ LOT 425 $1 1927-S PCGS MS65 A fully lustrous GEM example that is quite nice for this condition rarity. A delicate dusting of iridescent golden-tan dances on the surfaces adding to the eye appeal and attesting to the originality. The devices are sharply struck and have a bold definition which is brought out by the brilliance of the underlying luster. Even using a strong glass, we can only see a few minor ticks worthy of mention, all well hidden by the overlay of patina. After 33 years of grading, PCGS has graded a mere 90 at this grade level and importantly just a dozen coins any finer! A prize for the astute numismatist! PCGS 90, NGC 76. The current PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $8,000 and most recent examples have sold in the $5,000-$7,200 range. Keep in mind that anything finer is going to cost in excess of $20,000. A great addition to any advanced Peace dollar set. PCGS# 7372 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ 176

LOT 426 $1 1977 PCGS MS67 WOW, who would have expected how few SUPERB GEM 1977 Ike dollars exist? A rich blue/green patina blankets pleasing copper-nickel clad surfaces which show satin luster. Very clean considering the wide open spaces that are prone to contact marks. PCGS 30, NGC 12. Only one has ever sold at auction, an untoned example in a January 2011 sale, which realized $852. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $1,100. An under appreciated series that is truly hard to find in superb condition. If you are building a set, be sure to bid on this piece! This opportunity rarely occurs. PCGS# 7423 | ESTIMATE: $1,000+ LOT 427 $1 1979-P WIDE RIM. PCGS MS67 This is the first of the modern, small sized dollar coins. Highly lustrous with a bold satiny sheen, this variety with the wide rims is rarer than the narrow rim. While the narrow rim was the “normal” variety for the date, all other Susan B. Anthony dollars were struck with this wider rim style. PCGS 21, NGC 51. Just a single MS67+ is graded finer at PCGS. The most recent example sold for $2,820 in the 2016 ANA auction, and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,500. The single finer example realized $6,463 in February 2016. This is one of the KEYS to the modern U.S. series, and bound for an advanced Registry Set. Good luck! PCGS# 99571 | ESTIMATE: $2,600+ LOT 428 G$1 1854 TYPE 1. NGC MS65 CAC This is a very high end GEM example of this final Type 1 gold dollar date. Bold, intense golden luster gleams from all over with a satiny brilliance. The devices are sharply impressed on both sides, both dies show considerable stress with multiple die cracks on both sides. The eye appeal is exceptional. PCGS 42, NGC 68, CAC 14. NO NGC/CAC coin has ever sold in auction, but a PCGS/CAC coin sold in the 2018 ANA auction for $2,640. This GEM is housed in an earlier generation NGC holder and is fresh to the market. It should bring a premium bid to anyone building a gold type or date set of gold dollars. PCGS# 7525 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+ 177

LOT 429 G$1 1854 TYPE 2. PCGS MS65+ CAC Totally original and high end quality! This is a true GEM with both strong technical and aesthetic properties that defy what you normally see out there for the type. A thick, frosty mint luster glows brilliantly on both sides of this GEM. Deep orange golden coloration blends with delicate rose-gold patina. Sharply struck from dies that clashed multiple times, the outlines of details from the opposite side. Other than those mint made die clashes, the surfaces are ultra clean and very smooth with zero serious marks or lines of any kind. The eye appeal is simply OUTSTANDING! Having seen many Type 2 gold dollars in the course of our careers, we know how RARE a coin like this is! PCGS 54, NGC 25, CAC 22. There are six graded MS65+ at PCGS and as can be expected, is extremely RARE any finer. The last PCGS/ CAC MS65+ sold for $35,250 back in the 2016 FUN auction. While that may seem like just yesterday, it was 3.5 years ago! The current PCGS value is listed at $35,000. Keep in mind that the PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $60,000 in MS66 and it has been nearly four years since one of those sold. This is a great coin for type or date purposes, bound for a world class set of GEM gold dollars. We anticipate very strong bidding for this beauty! PCGS# 7531 | ESTIMATE: $32,000+ 178

LOT 430 LOT 431 G$1 1881 PCGS MS67+ CAC G$1 1889 PCGS MS67+ CAC This is a beautiful, fully Prooflike SUPERB GEM Type III gold dollar, The last year of the denomination, a good number of these tiny gold a perfect coin for a type set. The fields and devices, at first look, dollars were saved for posterity, allowing for even SUPERB GEM have the appearance of a CAMEO Proof. Lustrous, fully reflective pieces like this one to be affordable for most serious collectors. fields are deep and beaming, from a full heavy polishing (you can see a curly lint mark left over from the polishing cloth). The sharply Virtually perfect surfaces are a delight to behold. Even using a struck up devices are fully frosted and have a fully cameo-like strong glass you will find NO flaws. The luster is moderate and contrast against the fields. The surfaces are smooth and free of any frosty accenting totally original shades of wheat gold color. There is post minting contact or lines. The eye appeal is amazing. a single tiny spot on the reverse. Miss Liberty and every detail are sharply struck. The eye appeal is excellent! PCGS 102, NGC 70, CAC 34. PCGS has graded 7 in MS67+. The only PCGS-graded examples were sold in December 2010, where PCGS 280, NGC 192, CAC 92. There are 22 in MS67+ and the last one sold for $6,325 and the other sold for $4,313 and the current PCGS CAC coin to sell at auction brought $3,600 in December PCGS value is listed at $5,000. Keep in mind that a marginally 2018 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,750. finer PCGS MS68 is a five figure coin. This one has a great look VERY RARE any finer, PCGS has graded just 10 in MS68. Bound to and is bound for a great gold dollar set or gold type collection. be placed in a great gold dollar or gold type set. These seem very reasonable at today’s levels. PCGS# 7582 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ PCGS# 7590 | ESTIMATE: $3,200+ LOT 432 $2.50 1852-O PCGS MS62 An AMAZING example of this conditionally very rare quarter eagle. While 140,000 were struck, they rarely appear in auction, especially in Mint State grades. In fact it is surprising to learn that while the Charlotte mint and Dahlonega mint issues had much lower mintages, the average grade per Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth is lower for the 52-O. There is just a single MS63 graded finer at PCGS. The presently offered coin has a great look with flashy, partially reflective surfaces that really beam on both sides. Sharply struck devices stand out. The surfaces show a few stray lines and ticks, which we note only for accuracy. We were very surprised that it did not receive a CAC-bean. PCGS 7, NGC 7. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $8,000. It is surprising to note that only three PCGS-graded examples have ever sold, ranging in the $6,500-$8,813 area, and all in the last four years. Prior to that just NGC coins had sold. We anticipate a fierce bidding war to ensue when this one crosses the block; with just a single coin finer (a coin that has not sold in auction since April 2009), we know the New Orleans specialists will be out in force. Good luck! PCGS# 7766 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+ 179

LOT 433 $2.50 1902 PCGS MS68 This coin probably looks exactly like it did the day it left the mint. We do not see this coin as a “pushed” MS67 at all. Remarkable surfaces are exceedingly clean and have a satiny smooth texture. Using a strong glass we found only one microscopic scuff on the obverse. Everything else was pristine. If that was not on the coin, we’d seriously be talking MS69! A glowing luster beams nicely from all over. Both sides are a GEM original mix of soft gold/pale yellow gold colors. You can clearly see this coin has never been messed with. Miss Liberty and all of the details are frosty and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is superb in every respect! PCGS 2, NGC 6, CAC 0. The last PCGS 1902 MS68 to sell brought $21,150 in August 2016. The current Collectors Universe Value is $27,500. We can see this coin easily topping that. This is NOT a low end or dumpy coin. It belongs in a top Type or Liberty Quarter Eagle Collection. PCGS# 7854 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 180

LOT 434 $2.50 1905 PCGS MS67 CAC Essentially perfect! Full, vibrant satiny luster blooms all over with richly golden surfaces throughout. The sharply struck up devices stand out with razor sharp definition and the eye appeal is exceptionally bold! PCGS 97, NGC 107, CAC 27. The most recent PCGS/CAC example to sell in auction realized $3,878 in our September 2018 Regency Auction. Prior to that, one sold in our October 2017 Regency Auction for $3,760. This coin will certainly attract fierce bidding from the gold type or late date quarter eagle specialist. Good luck! PCGS# 7857 | ESTIMATE: $3,200+ NOTES 181

LOT 435 $2.50 1885 PCGS PR65 DCAM CAC What an AMAZING looking GEM Proof! A marvelous survivor from a miniscule mintage of only 87 pieces. Not only is the Proof mintage low, but the business strike mintage was paltry, only 800 examples were struck for commercial use. Collectors looking for an example have often looked to the Proofs. Today, these are considered to be R-5+ in the John Dannreuther reference on Proof Gold and the current combined PCGS/NGC population data shows 46 examples graded in all grades and designations; this is one of the very few in the DCAM category. The quality of this GEM is exceptional! Deeply reflective mirrors beam from all over contrasted with the frosty golden reliefs. The fields show a lovely orange peel texture on both the obverse and reverse. Only a single hairline or two can be found anywhere using a strong glass. The eye appeal is outstanding in every way. A real prize, truly the caviar of numismatics. PCGS 4, NGC 0, CAC 2. The most recent PR65 in any designation was a non-CAM or DCAM PCGS/CAC coin that sold in October 2012 for $35,250. With nearly seven years since the last one sold, we think this GEM should sell for closer to the current Collector’s Universe value of $52,500. VERY RARE in all grades, especially so in such well preserved GEM quality, this coin will see very strong bidder demand when it crosses the block! Add this beautiful coin to your collection and you will be gaining a real beauty! PCGS# 97911 | ESTIMATE: $42,500+ 182

LOT 436 $2.50 1899 PCGS PR66+ DCAM CAC WOW! This SUPERB GEM possesses everything that the collector could possibly desire in a proof gold coin. Expansive depth and vast contrast between the highly mirrored fields and frosted devices, far and away stronger than usually seen on these rare proof gold issues. Free of any copper specks, the mirrors are DEEP and black; the reliefs are bright frosty gold with a rich orange-gold patina catches the light and the coin grabs your attention from across the room. Close study of the fields under a light will discover the finely textured and highly desireable orange peel quality which adds a curious texture to the sultry appeal. All the devices are fully struck as would be expected for such an amazing looking coin. Even under the most intense scrutiny with a strong glass we cannot find a single flaw worthy of description; all Quarter Eagle proofs of this date show a shallow indentation in the horizontal shield stripes on the reverse as seen here. The more you look at it, the more mesmerizing it is. The late 1890s saw a triumph of minting techniques that all came together to create these elegant Deep Cameo proof gold coins. First off, the dies had to be carefully prepared, with an acid applied to etch the entire die surface which creates the frosted appearance. Next the frost was completely removed from the fields (the highest point on the die) by carefully polishing the surface, but not so much as to drift into the devices. This process gives the fields their mirror finish and the first few dozen coins struck under high pressure offer the greatest degree of contrast and depth of reflectivity. Long collected by specialists these proof gold coins are the absolute pinnacle of quality in American numismatics, they were struck for collectors and have been held in the highest regard ever since. Their rarity is legendary, and when found in gem or finer grades, with the Deep Cameo contrast, simply cannot be surpassed in dramatic visual effect. Only 150 were minted. PCGS 7, NGC 5, CAC 8. This is the ONLY PR66+ and while 13 coins appear to be graded higher on the PCGS Population Report, we think that includes duplication. This coin last sold in our December 2016 Regency Auction for $34,075. Keep in mind that in February 2015 a PCGS PR66 CAM CAC (no “+”) sold for $28,200 and in June 2016, a PCGS PR67 CAM CAC brought $41,125. These unmolested and original GEM proofs are extremely rare, particularly in as fine a grade as offered here. Gold proof coins have long been called the caviar of numismatics, and we believe that any gem proof in a collection adds a mark of sophistication. If you are looking for a truly special coin to put away, here it is. PCGS# 97925 | ESTIMATE: $32,000+ 183

LOT 437 $2.50 1901 PCGS PR67+ DCAM CAC THIS IS GODZILLA! What a sensational Ultra Black and Gold Proof piece. We fully agree this coin is much closer to a PR68 then a PR67 DCam! Ultra deep and virtually endless mirrors explode from all over. The mirrors display the ultimate in clarity and cleanliness. You cannot ask for any more flash. When you twirl the coin, the mirrors look like an intense river of molten yellow gold streaming around the surfaces. The contrast is mind boggling! Miss Liberty and every detail are needle sharp in strike and have GEMMY thick iridescent gold frost. Your eyes will pop out and roll all over when they lay on this monster! ONLY 223 minted. PCGS 9, NGC 8, CAC 7. This is the lone PR67+ DCAM graded. Hard to to believe PCGS may have graded 2 in PR69 DCameo-WOW (neither are beaned)! We can’t say enough how desirable all PCGS GEM Proof gold is these days. The current Collectors Universe Value is $48,500. NO PR67+ DC have ever been sold via auction. This coin will improve ANY SUPERB GEM set while creating a higher bar of quality and eye appeal! In our opinion, we do not see much down side on coins like this at today’s prices. Sell your widgets or dupes and buy coins like this. PCGS# 97927 | ESTIMATE: $40,000+ 184

LOT 438 $2.50 1911-D STRONG D. PCGS AU55 CAC This is a totally original CHOICE AU example of this KEY date. This is the exact opposite of what is normally seen for this date/grade. Rich olive and wheat gold toned surfaces. Just light wear in the fields and a few scattered marks are noted that do not detract from the eye appeal. PCGS 685, NGC 533, CAC 51. We sold the most recent example in our August 2018 Premier Session for $4,290. The current PCGS Price Guide value of $4,250 takes into account the number of non-CAC coins that have sold in auction. Clearly CAC-coins should be worth more. PCGS# 7943 | ESTIMATE: $3,600+ LOT 439 $2.50 1911-D STRONG D. PCGS MS64+ CAC A wonderful, totally original, borderline-GEM example of this important KEY date issue. Sensational satiny smooth surfaces have a light frost break and NO serious problems to be found anywhere. There is one small scuff in front of the nose on the obverse. The luster is strong and really glows from all over. Both sides are an even deeper ORIGINAL yellow gold color. All of the details are frosty and have bold strikes. The eye appeal is great! Only 55,600 examples were struck, and examples of this date are highly sought in all grades; most known examples are in AU. Any CHOICE or GEM Mint State example commands strong attention from the collector. PCGS 335, NGC 416, CAC 84. There are 24 graded by PCGS in MS64+, and the three most recent PCGS/CAC examples to sell in auction realized $25,850 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $28,500. Keep in mind that NO PCGS MS65 has sold in auction for nearly 3 years! Clearly these are not available with frequency and this near-GEM is worthy of a great set of Indian Head quarter eagles! PCGS# 7943 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 185

LOT 440 $2.50 1910 PCGS PR66+ CAC Magnificent in every respect. The quality is out of this world. SUPER HIGH END. Legend Numismatics (our sister company) adores this coin! Stunning Roman Finish surfaces blaze from all over. The surfaces are the vision of total perfection. We used a strong glass and looked all over and found ZERO imperfections. If you want to see an example where PCGS is beyond tight, it’s with Roman Finish $2.5’s (1909 too). A full glowing luster vividly beams from all over. Both sides are a flaming original Matte yellow/pale orange gold color. There are no spots or discolorations any where. Every detail is needle sharp in strike. The eye appeal is incredible! PCGS 12, NGC 31, CAC 14 (no question there was someone trying this and others for a PR67). PCGS has graded only this coin in PR66+. There is only ONE PCGS PR67 CAC piece (worth easily $75,000+ today). BOTH the rarity and QUALITY of this piece can NOT be overstated. This is absolutely a near miss PR67 (we make no promises). PCGS# 7959 | ESTIMATE: $45,000+ 186

LOT 441 $3 1857 PCGS MS64+ CAC Any high grade 1857 $3 gold piece is a real prize for the advanced collector, and this one ranks within the condition census of the date. Of the 20,891 that were struck, very few survive in high grade, most Mint State survivors grade MS63 or lower, and we believe that there must be some duplication in the population reports in MS61 to MS63. This sharply struck borderline GEM is spectacular! The surfaces are vibrant and boldly lustrous with a thick satiny sheen that glows all over. The brilliance radiates across the generally smooth fields and frosty design elements. A strong glass reveals a few stray old ticks and lines, mostly hidden among the mint caused clashing and die lines. None of these are significant enough to preclude a lower grade, or CAC approval. The eye appeal is very bold, and at first glance, this coin looks like a GEM MS65. PCGS 5, NGC 6, CAC 3. This is the ONLY MS64+ at PCGS. The only recent comparable is from nearly four years ago, when a PCGS MS64 CAC (no “+””) sold for $14,100 in the 2015 ANA auction. The MS64+ being offered today carries a PCGS Price Guide value of $24,000. Just three coins are graded finer, one each, MS65, MS65+, and MS66, and the only one finer to sell in auction was the PCGS MS65+ from the D. Brent Pogue Collection, which realized $35,250 in February 2016. We anticipate strong bidding for this impressive antebellum $3, a date that you rarely see so fine. PCGS# 7976 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+ LOT 442 $3 1885 PCGS MS65 CAC This is a beautiful and reflectively lustrous GEM! One of the classic low mintage rarities of the $3 gold series, with an original mintage of only 801 examples struck for circulation. Well struck with rich orange gold coloration on both sides. Only a few minor contact ticks are noted under a glass, but do not detract from the exceptional eye appeal. This date is rarely seen in MS65 or finer grades, and we believe there is much duplication of the “grading events?” with the same coin being resubmitted again and again in hopes of a higher grade. PCGS 11, NGC 4, CAC 3. The last time a PCGS/CAC sold for $22,913 in our May 2016 Regency Auction. More recently a non-CAC PCGS MS65 sold in June 2018 for $25,200. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $27,500. Rare any finer, with just nine coins graded between MS65+ and MS67, this is a real prize for the advanced collector of this obsolete gold denomination and we anticipate strong bidding for this impressive GEM! PCGS# 8007 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 187

LOT 443 $5 1795 SMALL EAGLE. PCGS AU55 CAC This is a wonderful, totally original and high end, CHOICE AU example of the first year of issue of U.S. gold coins. From a historic perspective, the 1795 half eagle is a very important coin--a “blue chip” issue that is in serious demand from collectors at all levels--from problem coins all the way to GEM Mint State. Exceptional quality AU coins like this are few and far between! PCGS CoinFacts estimates that 500-600 examples survive in all states of preservation from an original mintage of 8,707. Struck from the BD-8 die variety, one of 12 Small Eagle die marriages, and rates as a high Rarity 5. Light wear is noted on both sides, but the reverse retains ample semi-reflective surfaces, indicative of the early die state. Rich, orange-gold patina blends with traces of olive and peach overtones. Well struck devices show only some minor weakness at the extreme centers of the design. We note minor contact marks scattered about, evidence of its brief stay in early federal era circulation. None of these ticks are distracting to the exceptional eye appeal and overall quality. Many examples over the years have been dipped, stripped, cleaned, or conserved in some other way, destroying the original surfaces. These “processed” and “commercially graded coins appear with some frequency in auction, but high end, original coins are VERY RARE in all grades! For the early mint at Philadelphia, dies were used until they could no longer strike coins. This obverse die was reused in 1797 or 1798 when it was paired with a Large Eagle reverse, creating the UNIQUE BD-13 die marriage. There is something fun about contemplating who may have handled this coin. Did George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, or some other founding father use this coin while serving in the capital in Philadelphia. While the “Mint Act” bill of April 1792 established the mint in Philadelphia and authorized the weights and standards of circulating coinage, it would not be until 1795 that all officers of the mint were able to post their surety bonds that allowed for gold coinage to commence production. PCGS 66, NGC 43, CAC 5. We feel that there is much duplication of submissions, the populations inflated in hopes of receiving a higher grade. This is the ONLY CAC approved example in this grade to ever sell in auction, bringing $82,250 in the 2017 FUN auction. It really must be noted how extremely rare totally original examples are in all grades. While this coin is not “cheap” we challenge you to go find a similar coin in the marketplace! Good luck! PCGS# 8066 | ESTIMATE: $70,000+ 188

LOT 444 $5 1802/1 PCGS MS64 CAC Every half eagle dated 1802 is an overdate, and there are 8 different die marriages cataloged in the Bass-Dannreuther reference on early gold, this one being BD-8. Clearly the presently offered coin is among the FINEST graded and is a wonderful example of this early type! A real trophy for any collector! A glowing satiny mint frost shows off its original brilliance giving life to the rich orange-gold surfaces. Struck with a precision that is not often seen on this issue, all of Liberty’s hair detail and all the eagle’s breast feathers are fully separated. In the old days before 3rd party grading this coin would have been called a full GEM---the surfaces are that clean, and free of any serious evidence of contact with other coins. Carefully and lovingly cared for since the day it came off the press during Thomas Jefferson’s first term as President. A great example of Robert Scot’s classic design. PCGS 20, NGC 12, CAC 4. There are only four coins graded finer: two coins graded 64+; one in MS65 and one in MS66. Aside from the PCGS/CAC coin we sold in our January 2018 sale for $76,375, keep in mind that the only MS65 last sold in the 2012 FUN auction for $138,000. For the advanced gold type collector, this is a coin that is suited for a GEM set. EXTREMELY RARE in this lofty grade, and virtually unobtainable any finer. PCGS# 8083 | ESTIMATE: $52,500+ 189

LOT 445 $5 1823 PCGS MS60 A single pair of dies were used to strike all 14,485 half eagles in 1823, and today, there are about 80-100 known in all grades. The presently offered coin is not an AU coin in a Mint State holder; no wear of any kind can be seen on either side. The well struck devices are frosty and stand out against the moderately reflective, lustrous surfaces, giving it a bold look. Only some ancient lines are noted, accounting for the assigned grade, but the eye appeal is excellent! The reverse die was a workhorse (first utilized in 1820, listed as die F in the Bass Dannreuther book). It was used to strike all 1821, 1822, 1823, and 1824 half eagles. Die state research by Bass and Dannreuther concludes that the 1823 and 1824 half eagles were struck BEFORE the famed 1822 rarity (only three known). Thanks to the rarity of the 1821, 1822, and 1824, the 1823 is often thought of as common, but as the population and auction appearance data reveal, this is NOT the case! PCGS 2, NGC 0. The current Collectors Universe value is $28,500. There has NOT been an MS60 sold at auction since March 2000! College freshmen were not yet born! The most recent two MS61s graded by PCGS sold for $28,200 (the most recent was the Blue Moon Collection coin that was also very fresh to the market in March 2017. A PCGS AU58 (a comparable grade), has not seen a single example sold in auction since June 1997! This is a remarkably RARE opportunity for the early gold specialist, one that SHOULD NOT be missed! Good luck! PCGS# 8131 | ESTIMATE: $23,000+ 190

LOT 446 $5 1839 PCGS AU53 CAC A really neat, high quality CHOICE AU example of the first year of issue of the long lived Christian Gobrecht design. The present coin is so high quality you will mistake it at first glance for an even higher grade; while we do not guarantee that it will upgrade, the eye appeal is that of at least an AU55. Just the most subtle contact and friction are noted with the aid of a glass. Both sides have a wonderful original deep golden hue with some light rose and olive-gold accents. Well struck and nicely preserved, the eye appeal is fantastic for an AU! PCGS 17, NGC 28, CAC 2. No PCGS/CAC coin has ever sold in auction. This date is remarkably scarce and we think the Collectors Universe value of $1,900 does not reflect the rarity of CAC-approved examples. Worthy of a strong bid from the date or type collector. PCGS# 8191 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+ LOT 447 $5 1870-S PCGS AU58 One of the absolute FINEST 1870-S half eagles in existence! Tied for the FINEST graded at either service, this wonderful high end AU58 presents a very rare and important opportunity for the advanced collector. Only 17,000 were struck, PCGS CoinFacts estimates that fewer than 100 are known in all grades, and the world class research conducted by David Akers found that most known examples grade lower than XF. Very few AU coins survive, and we think that many of those that are listed in the Population data are duplicate entries. Today, there are perhaps two others that are tied with this coin at PCGS for FINEST. The present coin is highly lustrous with a warm orange-golden glow that graces both sides. Offering a much better strike than normally seen, the details are fully delineated and the mintmark, which is often soft, is quite bold. A few stray contact marks and lines are seen scattered about, but they have zero impact on the eye appeal or grade. PCGS 3, NGC 2. The only PCGS-graded example sold in the 2014 ANA auction (nearly five years ago), realizing $12,925. You have to go back nearly a decade to find a result for an NGC-graded example, making those results even more obsolete! The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $16,500 and keep in mind this is a VERY IMPORTANT coin for the specialist. Anyone building a set of Liberty Head half eagles knows how hard finding a high grade example of this date can be! We know bidding will be intense for this one! Add this coin to your world class set! PCGS# 8321 | ESTIMATE: $11,000+ 191

LOT 448 $5 1912-S PCGS MS63 This is a MAJOR condition rarity in a series that is full of them! While the mintage was 392,000 and should be enough for there to have been some saved in high grades, the vast majority went into circulation. The highest grade usually encountered are AU or low end Mint State grades. CHOICE examples are VERY RARE, any anything finer is excessively so! The present example is very pleasing to the eye with a warm glowing satin luster that radiates from the incuse devices into the fields. The devices are nicely impressed into the planchet. Since the fields are the highest points of the design, there are some minor traces of contact, but none of the marks are problematic or have any effect on the wonderful naked eye appeal. PCGS 18, NGC 9. Prior to a PCGS/CAC selling in June 2016 for $16,450, NO PCGS MS63 has sold in auction since March 2007.

LOT 451 $10 1850-O PCGS XF45 CAC There is something about New Orleans mint eagles that this cataloger (GC) finds extremely charming. The challenge for many collectors is finding wholesome, original coins, that have good eye appeal. The present XF45 is totally original with a pleasing olive overtone to the wonderful golden surfaces.

LOT 454 $10 1854 PCGS MS62 CAC There is just something about No Motto eagles from the 1850s that are very charming. They are truly conditionally scarce coins, the vast majority disappearing into circulation during the Antebellum, with very few quality pieces for collectors to pursue. This 1854 is a great example and is a MAJOR CONDITION RARITY! The original mintage was modest, only 54,250 were struck. David Akers wrote that the “1854 is a rare date in any condition, and in AU or uncirculated condition it is very rare.” Between PCGS and NGC there are about two dozen Mint State coins graded, including some likely duplication. The presently offered coin has a choice look! A thick mint frost blooms with a warm glow on original surfaces. The fields and devices show some very minor ticks that account for the assigned grade. The design elements on both sides are generally crisp in definition. The eye appeal is excellent for the modest grade, and a true prize for the specialist! PCGS 6, NGC 1, CAC 3.
