LOT 467 $10 1920-S PCGS AU53 CAC This is a fantastic†1920-S!†This is NOT your average example! Typically, this date comes banged up and horrible; we have seen Mint State coins with cuts and problems. This coin is truly Premium Quality. Without a strong glass, you will only see a few LIGHT and widely scattered ticks and a minor line; there are NO big cuts. Overall, the surfaces are clean, smooth, and have NOT been messed with. The color is an even ORIGINAL faded gold with hints of orange. There are NO spots or discolorations anywhere. Even the luster is surprisingly good. Miss Liberty and the details have surprisingly strong strikes. The wear is VERY light and is NOT discolored. The eye appeal is VERY nice! PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 1. This coin last sold in auction back in 2013. and it realized $35,250. Even though there are several coins higher, CAC has only beaned 10 coins in all grades (with possible duplication). Regardless, this is a date that rarely appears in ANY grade. Even if you are building a choice set, this is a great coin to add. Opportunity knocks loud for the serious $10 Indian collector-or collector of rarities. We have a tremendous respect for this date and any grade one can be found in-so long as it is nice. PCGS# 8881 | ESTIMATE: $35,000+ 199

LOT 468 $20 1854 LARGE DATE. PCGS MS64+ CAC This is the FINEST KNOWN 1854 Large Date $20 at either service, and one look at it makes that fact clear. What an amazing coin! It borders on full MS65 quality. The Large Date logotype is a somewhat recent discovery, mentioned in Walter Breen’s Encyclopedia, published in 1988. It has taken a while, but it is now clear that this variety is much harder to find in all grades than the Small date type. PCGS CoinFacts and Doug Winter both estimate the survival in all grades at approximately 150 pieces. The variety was created when the diesinker used a date logotype punch for the 1854 silver dollar, the numerals take up a significantly larger portion of the field below Liberty’s neck. Outside of the shipwreck coins, finding any Type 1 double eagle in this quality is unheard of! We love this coin! Outstanding surfaces are super clean and are super smooth. There is one small scuff visible on the obverse and one hidden on the reverse-which are what we think keeps it from a full MS65 designation. There actually is a full cartwheel luster that beams from all over. Both sides are a totally original and beautiful even yellow gold color. For accuracy there is a tiny Mint grease stain on the reverse at 8:00. No question this coin has never been messed with. Miss Liberty and the details are extremely well struck and have generous frost. The eye appeal is terrific! PCGS† 2, NGC 1, CAC 3 (We know this coin is at least 2). This is the only MS64+ and we have a feeling that this one coin represents the ENTIRE population listed. There are NONE higher. Save for the Central America shipwreck coins, finding ANY GEM Type I $20 is impossible (especially with CAC approval). The current PCGS Price Guide value is $135,000. It is far rarer than any Ship Wreck coin. We loosely† compare it to the MONSTER 1850 PCGS MS64 CAC Legend bought June 2016 for $170,000 (that date has a PCGS pop of 4). The quality and eye appeal are all there and then some. The opportunity is real here for this once in a decade coin! PCGS# 98911 | ESTIMATE: $105,000+ 200

LOT 469 $20 1865-S PCGS MS62 CAC Ex Brother Jonathan, #840. A wonderful CHOICE Mint State 1865-S double eagle, its existence of which is only thanks to the tragic shipwreck of the Brother Jonathan on July 30, 1865 off the coast of Crescent City, California. Prior to the discovery and sale of the shipwreck coins in the late 1990s, this date was virtually UNKNOWN in Mint State. Today, thanks to this, and the wreck of the S.S. Republic, there are several hundred Mint State coins for collectors to choose from. For the picky collector, the presently offered coin has a vibrant mint bloom throughout that enhances the warm orange-gold coloration. Sharply struck devices stand out. A scattering of contact, which after a century under water can easily be overlooked, account for the assigned grade. High end and very pleasing, this coin has a great historical provenance, housed in the original holder with the Brother Jonathan label. PCGS 108, NGC 14, CAC 9. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $11,000. We cannot find a CAC-approved example from the Brother Jonathan in the original holder having sold in auction. These are all well distributed as they do not appear in auction with much frequency. Bid accordingly. PCGS# 8944 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ 201

LOT 470 $20 1866-S NO MOTTO. PCGS AU55 CAC A very RARE and highly desirable double eagle issue, the last of the Type Ones. While the reported mintage was 120,000, many experts believe that a large number were melted and never released and while we may never know for sure how many were released into circulation, what we know is there are very few to go around in all grades (PCGS CoinFacts estimates about 300, while Doug Winter estimates 175-225). Regardless, this GEM AU55 ranks among the top 20 graded by PCGS. These were all struck in February 1866, before the new With Motto dies arrived. The surfaces show a light friction in the fields and the highest portions of the devices, artifacts of a brief stay in commerce. A few ancient stray ticks can be noted, but they do not detract the eye. A bold satiny mint frost blooms on the obverse, while the luster on the reverse is distinctly reflective with a very attractive, semi-prooflike flash. PCGS 11, NGC 24, CAC 3. The other PCGS/CAC sold in auction in November 2013 for $88,125 and that is the only other recorded auction price for a PCGS AU55. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $72,500. There are only nine coins graded finer at PCGS; a PCGS AU58 is a six-figure coin, the last one sold back in 2009 and the finest is the ex Saddle Ridge Hoard example that graded MS62. This is a real prize for any advanced double eagle specialist, among the finest PCGS coins available in the open market. We wish every interested bidder luck as there will be intense bidding competition for this beauty--and we offer, in advance, a hearty congratulations to the successful bidder! PCGS# 8945 | ESTIMATE: $65,000+ 202

LOT 471 $20 1866-S MOTTO. PCGS AU58 CAC Truly a very pleasing, high end, near-Mint State example. It is really a wonderful “super slider.” Early in 1866, the design was modified slightly to include IN GOD WE TRUST in the circle of stars on the reverse, however, the new reverse dies did not arrive in San Francisco until after some older No Motto dies were employed and coins put out into circulation. Rich orange-gold color dominates with areas of lighter gold that contrasts. The luster is essentially unbroken and glows over the satiny surfaces. Really the evidence of any time in circulation is so microscopic; the friction is barely noticeable on either side. There are a few tiny contact marks that we can see only with the help of a strong glass, none of which are inappropriate for the grade, nor do they affect the superb eye appeal. PCGS 45, NGC 114, CAC 16. Only 6 PCGS/CAC examples have sold in auction, averaging an APR of $12,920 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,000. This borderline Mint State coin is a great example for the date, which becomes quite elusive in Mint State. Good luck. PCGS# 8950 | ESTIMATE: $12,000+ LOT 472 LOT 473 $20 1868-S PCGS AU58+ CAC $20 1869-S PCGS AU55 CAC High end and totally original, this Type Two double eagle has the This is a very eye appealing and ORIGINAL Type II double eagle. It look of a Mint State coin. Essentially full, satiny luster has a warm is totally original and offers a great look, offering rich orange-gold olive-gold toning on both sides. Minimally marked for the grade, color with khaki and olive hues which come to life with a pleasing we note just a few tiny ticks and the slightest touch of friction on the satiny sheen. Well executed in terms of strike, the details are nicely surfaces. This is a conditionally rare issue, with under 70 graded in rendered. The surfaces show just a touch of friction and there are only Mint State at PCGS, the majority clustered in MS60 and MS61, and a few tiny ticks noted under a strong glass, typical for the grade. NONE FINER than MS62+. PCGS 181, NGC 372, CAC 37. Do not let the populations fool you, PCGS 133, NGC 268, CAC 39. There are only 7 graded AU58+, these do not come up for auction too often. The most recent PCGS/ only one of which has sold in auction, realizing $3,720 in April CAC coin to sell in auction brought $2,703 in our January 2019 2019. The present coin is clearly more original and eye appealing Regency sale. The current PCGS value is listed at $2,500. A collection and should bring more. The current PCGS Price Guide value is of Philadelphia and San Francisco mint Type II double eagles in listed at $4,500. A nice coin for an Everyman gold Registry Set. CHOICE AU grades would make a very neat short set to work on. PCGS# 8954 | ESTIMATE: $3,800+ PCGS# 8956 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+ 203

LOT 474 $20 1869-S PCGS MS61 CAC Like most Type 2 twenties, the 69-S is RARE in Mint State grades; the vast majority of them are graded MS61 and are extremely rare any finer. The presently offered coin is totally original with a gorgeous orange-gold skin and bold mint brilliance. There are some minor traces of contact, appropriate for the assigned grade. The eye appeal is amazing for the “modest” grade and will delight any gold coin collector. PCGS 58, NGC 37, CAC 10. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $6,500. Only a single CAC-approved example has sold in auction, and it sold really cheap. A couple of years ago, this would have been a $7,000-$8,000 coin! Only 16 coins are graded finer, making this a great example for a date set. PCGS# 8956 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+ OUR ESTIMATES The estimates you see published in this catalog are based on HAMMER. Keep in mind that a coin could be either low or high end for the grade, have stunning color or be dull, all of which radically affect a coin’s value. Yes, there can be huge price differences within a grade, and we offer estimates as a guide so Collector’s can have a better idea of value. One thing we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to claim stronger sales. These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin Auctions determines to be an approximate high wholesale value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current market values, similar trades, auction prices, published prices, and a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are exactly what you can expect to get if you attempt to resell them wholesale.

LOT 475 $20 1882-CC PCGS MS62 CAC Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer the FINEST 1882-CC double eagle we have ever had the pleasure of offering in auction. Out of a smallish mintage of only 39,140, perhaps 70-100 survive in Mint State, most of which are at the lower grades, MS60 and MS61. At the MS62 level, as offered here, the date becomes quite rare indeed. To date, this date is UNKNOWN in MS63+ or finer grades, making this coin, a very CHOICE MS62, a significant rarity. Brilliantly lustrous surfaces gleam through a rich orange gold coloration. The surfaces are totally original, but NOT dirty, nor are the surfaces all hacked up and baggy. Sharply struck devices are semi-frosted and stand out against the satiny surfaces. The eye appeal is outstanding! PCGS 23, NGC 10, CAC 4. Do not let the population reports fool you; these are RARE! We cannot find the appearance of a CAC-approved MS62 EVER selling in auction. No PCGS MS62 has sold since October 2014 when one sold for $29,375. The current Collectors Universe value is $34,500. Only five coins are graded higher, including the PCGS/CAC MS63 from the Battle Born Collection, which realized $80,500 in the 2012 ANA auction. Worthy of a superb collection of double eagles, and will see a very strong bid! Anticipate paying up for this HIGH END example! PCGS# 8997 | ESTIMATE: $25,000+ 205

LOT 476 $20 1890-CC PCGS MS62 CAC Beautiful and FRESH! A vibrant satiny luster glows all over with strong rolling cartwheels that flow gracefully, uninterrupted on both sides. The devices are struck with precision, fully formed and bold in definition. A few ancient ticks and lines are seen with a glass, none of which have a serious impact on the excellent eye appeal, and all are appropriate for the assigned grade. There is just something captivating about ALL Carson City gold coins. While the 1890-CC is common enough in circulated grades, it is VERY SCARCE in Mint State. RARE any finer than the currently offered grade. PCGS 68, NGC 53, CAC 13. The last two PCGS/CAC examples sold back in the summer of 2014, one bringing $23,294 in the ANA auction, and one bringing $30,550 in June 2014. Just a dozen examples are graded finer, and NONE have sold since 2012. WOW, does this coin present a great opportunity. Bid accordingly! PCGS# 9014 | ESTIMATE: $24,000+ 206

Clearly there is duplication of the same coin being submitted multiple times in hopes of getting an MS65 grade. This coin was the most recent to sell in auction, realizing $3,290 in our March 2019 Regency Auction and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $4,000.

There are NO spots or other issues. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck and we grade the reverse a full GEM. The eye appeal is excellent! Much scarcer than the 1904, and selling for nearly zero premium over that, this 1900 double eagle would make a nice addition to any holding of U.S. gold coins.

LOT 482 $20 1904 PCGS MS67 A SUPERB 1904 double eagle, despite being the most common date gold coin in the U.S. series, this is tied for FINEST GRADED at either service! After 33 years of grading coins, PCGS has graded just THREE in MS67, NONE are graded finer. A thick, satiny mint frost shows off a vivid brilliance that gleams all over. Sharply struck devices stand out against the smooth, lustrous fields. The details are crisp and bold. A strong glass reveals nothing serious, just the slightest tick or two, and a stray line. The color shows off a rich yellow gold, with a pale green overtone in some areas. A couple of toning dots are noted, attesting to the original status of the surfaces. The eye appeal is, as expected for the lofty grade designation, quite pleasing. David Akers noted of this issue, “The 1904 is by far the most common date in the...series.” This is evidenced by the PCGS CoinFacts estimate that over 1.2 million examples survive in all grades, of which, they estimate 5,500 are in MS65 or better. HOWEVER, since most Mint State survivors are repatriated holdings that were sent to Europe and Latin America in the early 1900s, many show lots of abrasions, precluding SUPERB grade assignments. PCGS and NGC have been grading coins since 1986 and 1987, respectively, and they have combined graded just five in MS67. PCGS 3, NGC 2. NONE have ever sold in auction. Indeed, of all dates in the Type 3 Liberty double eagle series, PCGS has graded 11 examples, and per our database, NOT A SINGLE MS67 has ever sold in auction. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $95,000. Since there are no records, who knows where the hammer will actually fall. At the end, your collection will achieve a status that few will ever have the chance: to own a SUPERB GEM Liberty Head double eagle. Good luck! PCGS# 9045 | ESTIMATE: $65,000+ 209

LOT 483 $20 1906 PCGS MS63+ CAC While many late date Lib $20s are high mintage issues, the 1906 Philadelphia issue has a low mintage of 69,596, very few of which were saved at the time of issue. This CHOICE example is high end for the grade, close to full MS64 quality. Indeed, we have seen common date MS64s that do not have anywhere close to the eye appeal this one does. Frosty surfaces have a bold, satiny lustrous sheen that enlivens the smooth fields and sharply struck devices. Totally original and visually very appealing, this is a great example of this tougher date. PCGS 142, NGC 41, CAC 14. There are just 8 graded MS63+ at PCGS. Only one has ever sold in auction, bringing $5,760 in November 2018. This is not that coin. We sold a non-+ PCGS MS63 CAC coin in September 2018 for $5,523 and the last two PCGS MS64s sold for $14,400 and $13,200 in 2018. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $8,200 and this coin will see spirited bidding for sure. Add this one to your set of Type 3 $20s! PCGS# 9049 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ LOT 484 $20 1907 HIGH RELIEF. WIRE EDGE. PCGS AU55 CAC This is a very pretty, and very affordable example of the most beautiful design that the United States mint ever produced for general circulation. This is not your typical washed out, “product” coin. Rich coppery orange color glows in the deeply “dished” fields surrounding the sharply struck 3-D devices. Only seeing some brief time in circulation, before being saved for posterity, there are only a few minor lines that we note for accuracy, but none that take away from the outstanding eye appeal. PCGS 226, NGC 35, CAC 25. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,500, and this one faces up better than the AU58 that we sold in October 2018 for $12,650. This is a very attractive and affordable example for a type or date set. What a grand opportunity. PCGS# 9135 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ 210

LOT 485 $20 1907 HIGH RELIEF, WIRE RIM. PCGS MS63+ One of our favorite types, one of the most beautiful pieces of numismatic art to ever come out of the U.S. mint for circulation. Regardless of grade, collectors are always attracted to this wonderful design. Fully CHOICE and totally original, the coloration is a gorgeous, rich honey-gold shade, which is satiny and has a thick frost. There are just a few tiny marks that break the frost, accounted for in the assigned grade. Well struck, Liberty strides triumphantly forward in bold 3D relief. The eye appeal is quite nice. PCGS 9, NGC 13. The last one to sell in auction realized $20,627 in April 2017. The only other PCGS MS63+ to sell in auction was back in February 2014. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,000. A one year type coin, that is a masterpiece of the coiner’s art, is always in demand and this coin will delight anyone looking for a nice representative for a type set. PCGS# 9135 | ESTIMATE: $16,500+ 211

LOT 486 $20 1907 HIGH RELIEF-WIRE RIM. NGC MS64+ One of the most beautiful designs ever employed by any country in any era, the 1907 High Relief double eagle is an American numismatic classic. The story of the collaboration of President Roosevelt and Augustus St. Gaudens has been repeated over and over in thousands of auction descriptions, articles, and books. St. Gaudens’ stunning design featuring Liberty striding triumphantly forward with a torch and olive branch--symbols of enlightenment and peace. The relief caused problems at the mint when striking, three blows from the dies on the hydraulic medal press were required to bring up all the details in the design. After 12,367 examples were struck (and after St. Gaudens passed away from stomach cancer), the design was altered to a lower relief for ease of striking. The presently offered example is totally fresh to the market. The high wire fin on the rim can be seen on the obverse. A lovely orange-gold patina with rose accents give off a great look when viewed. There are a few stray lines seen with with a strong glass, but the impressive nature of the fully struck up high relief devices make them easy to ignore. The eye appeal is exceptional on this near-GEM. PCGS 36, NGC 30. The last non-CAC NGC MS64+ sold in October 2015 for $29,325. This very eye appealing example should be a delight for any collector building a gold type set or a box of 20 neat coins, or is looking to upgrade a lower grade example in a Registry Set. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $32,500. Good luck! PCGS# 9135 | ESTIMATE: $22,000+ 212

LOT 487 $20 1907 HIGH RELIEF-FLAT RIM. PCGS MS64 CAC Truly a borderline GEM--we have seen MS65 coins that are not as clean or frosty as this presently offered beauty. While we do not guarantee any upgrade, the technical and aesthetic attributes are so high end, it will easily fit in any GEM gold type set. Thick, frosty luster gleams all over on both sides of this well struck High Relief. All the details stand out with a tall, full, 3D effect. It takes a strong glass to find any traces of contact, and those stray ticks do not detract from the great eye appeal. The rich, golden-orange color shows off subtle accents of olive undertones that attest to the originality of this beauty. One of the most beautiful designs executed for circulation in the history of coinage, from ancient times to the modern era, the High Relief is a classic piece of numismatic history, and a high end MS64 is perfect for the type or date collector. PCGS 200, NGC 130, CAC 58. The last PCGS/CAC sold for $30,000 in an online auction in February 2018; that same coin sold in the 2018 FUN auction for $27,600. Prior to that, the last PCGS/CAC coin sold for $30,550 in May 2015. The current PCGS value is listed at $33,500. Keep in mind that a PCGS MS65 CAC is worth $50,000! This beauty belongs in a great set! PCGS# 9136 | ESTIMATE: $25,000+ 213

LOT 488 $20 1910-S PCGS MS64+ CAC A very pleasing, high end borderline GEM example of a date that does not come very nice overall. The surfaces are have a thick satiny texture. A few light ticks and marks can be seen using a strong glass. The luster is decent and enhances the thicker original sandy gold colors. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are well struck. The eye is excellent! PCGS 1340, NGC 542, CAC 96. PCGS has graded 50 in MS64+. The most recent example to sell in auction brought $2,640 and the current Collector’s Universe Value is $3,000. These do NOT make frequent appearances like the pops may lead you to think! PCGS# 9156 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+ NOTES 214

LOT 489 $20 1911-D/D RPM, FS-501. PCGS MS66+ CAC WOW! This is quite the impressive borderline SUPERB GEM 1911-D repunched mintmark double eagle. One of the few distinct die varieties in the Saint Gaudens series, collectors have long searched unattributed 1911-Ds for one. The present coin has a great look for the date. Well struck devices stand out against frosty lustrous fields that have an almost sandblast-like texture. Rich orange-gold with lighter brilliant gold highlights. The first D was placed too far to the right, and then repunched properly. The D/D is quite bold and can be seen without the aid of a glass. As expected for the lofty, borderline SUPERB GEM grade, any traces of contact are extremely minor and almost not worth mentioning. PCGS 53, NGC 40, CAC 23. PCGS has graded just 5 in MS66+ with just a single MS67 finer (which is impounded in the Simpson Collection). The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $30,000 and Ron Guth notes on PCGS CoinFacts that “this variety is worth approximately 150-200% of a regular type coin.” Thus the value makes sense, as the last PCGS/CAC MS66+ 1911-D sold in the 2018 ANA auction for $14,400. Worthy of the finest set of Saint Gaudens double eagles, this coin is a real prize for the specialist of 20th century gold. Do not let this opportunity pass you by! PCGS# 9158 | ESTIMATE: $24,000+ 215

LOT 490 $20 1914-D PCGS MS64 CAC This is a bold, lustrous example with a decent strike and great color. A few tiny ticks preclude a GEM designation, but the eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 3084, NGC 2041, CAC 159. Today the 14-D is lumped in with generic issues, but it is indeed scarcer than the 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28 issues. No longer carrying a premium, add this very CHOICE piece to your gold holdings. The last PCGS/CAC example realized $1,763 in our March 2019 Regency Auction. PCGS# 9165 | ESTIMATE: $1,450+ LOT 491 $20 1915 PCGS MS64 CAC With a mintage of 152,000, the 1915 double eagle is one of the lower mintage issues of the entire series. While not rare in lower Mint State grades, it becomes quite difficult to locate in MS64 and finer grades. High end for the grade, the luster is bold and frosty, accenting a satiny surface. Generally well struck and only the most minute marks are noted for accuracy, but they are totally appropriate for the assigned grade. The eye appeal is wonderful. PCGS 347, NGC 313, CAC 42. With its rarity in GEM grades, we believe there has to be some duplication in the population reports. The most recent PCGS/CAC coin to sell in auction realized $5,460 in March 2019. Prior to that, there was a wide range of APRs from $4,700 to $9,988, with most in the $5,000 to $5,500 range. Keep in mind how truly rare this date is any finer and bid accordingly. PCGS# 9167 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ LOT 492 $20 1916-S PCGS MS65 Satiny and totally original, we think this coin was from an old European holding before being graded years ago. The surfaces are satiny with bold frosty luster. The details are sharp, and we note just a few minor ticks and traces of contact, but the eye appeal and quality are generally wholesome. PCGS 1224, NGC 770. These have generally sold in the $2,040 to $2,640 range and the current PCGS Price is listed at $2,800. Scarce finer, this is a great coin for anyone putting away $20 Saints. PCGS# 9169 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+ 216

LOT 493 $20 1916-S PCGS MS66 CAC This is a truly SUPERB GEM 1916-S. Keep in mind, these do NOT come looking like a 1927. We rank this coin a 9 on our quality scale (out of 10). Great surfaces are a thick satiny texture. There are actually very few ticks and NO scuffs anywhere. A surprising glowing luster beams from all over (unusual for a 16-S). Both sides have a thick gold color with light toning. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck and have delicate frost. Unlike so many of this date, this coin has never been messed with. The eye appeal is fantastic! PCGS 187, NGC 145, CAC 30. This is the last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction; it brought $13,200 September 2018. NOTE: Legend Numismatics just rejected an MS66+ that looked incredibly drab and lifeless at $30,000. This is a great looking coin, with just five graded finer, and the only one to have sold in auction realized $24,675 in our November 2018 Regency Auction. PCGS# 9169 | ESTIMATE: $12,000+ 217

LOT 494 $20 1921 PCGS MS64 Ex A&A COLLECTION, as noted on the insert. Attention all Saint Collectors! Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to have been consigned this true choice piece. We fully disagree with CAC not beaning it (that is our opinion). After closely examining this great Saint rarity, we found nothing but minor to microscopic ticks that were few and far between. We used a strong glass to look around too. We did find one questionable area-the upper wings are flat. We do NOT believe its from wear, we think it was struck that way. An above average luster glows from all over. There seems to be a light thick pale greenish gold layer of toning. Looks original to us. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty herself is well struck. The eye appeal looks great! PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 1. The last sale for one of these was back in 2010-when one sold for $322,000. These are certainly worth far more today. In fact in 2014, Legend Numismatics paid $425,000.00 for the PCGS MS64 CAC (which is now in major a collection and will not be for sale in our lifetime). We were offered $500,000 for that coin three years ago. Its for sure worth much more today! We can not stress enough how this is the real “Key” and stopper for the series. Do not think too hard on this coin. Once it is sold you are just out of luck finding another-and you won’t like most of the 62’s and MS63’s! Good luck! We request NEW interested bidders have their credit approved before the sale. PCGS# 9172 | ESTIMATE: $375,000+ 219

LOT 503 50C 1935 SPANISH TRAIL. PCGS MS68 Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer this SUPERB GEM Spanish Trail half dollar. One of the KEY issues in the series, only 10,008 were struck, and the present MS68 is TIED FOR FINEST GRADED at either service--a real prize for ANY commem specialist. With its wide open fields, this type often comes with grade limiting marks and ticks. They also often come lack luster or unattractively toned. This SUPERB GEM is the total opposite of typical! Boldly lustrous surfaces are satiny and have a thick mint bloom. The devices are sharply struck and glossy. The glowing luster brings out the soft pastel toning, again, a feature that is missing from the vast majority of Spanish Trail halves. The obverse design, featuring the head of a Texas longhorn steer is a play on the name of Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca (which translates to cow’s head). The reverse shows the path from St. Augustine Florida to El Paso Texas that Cabeza de Vaca took. PCGS 6, NGC 7. The last time a non-CAC example sold in auction was in March 2017, that coin sold for $17,250 way back then!

There are 14 coins graded MS67+ at PCGS, with NONE finer. We believe that a number of these represent the same coin being submitted a few times in hopes of a higher grade. NGC has graded 3 in MS67+ and 3 in MS68 finer. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $6,000 and the most recent CAC example in 67+ to sell realized $3,600 in the 2019 FUN auction.

Clearly one of the finest of the 10,025 struck that survive. PCGS 25, NGC 22, CAC 9. Going back to 2009 (that is a 10 year span) only five PCGS/CAC coins have sold in auction, the most recent at $13,250, but the average APR is $16,430. This is an important opportunity for the advanced collector of classic gold commems--only four are graded higher, 2 in 67+ and 2 in 68.

LOT 508 $50 1915-S PANAMA-PACIFIC. OCTAGONAL. PCGS MS63 One of the most impressive of all U.S. coin types, these were issued to commemorate the opening of the Panama Canal. The Pan-Pac commemoratives were struck in half dollar, gold dollar, quarter eagle, and fifty dollar denominations, the latter struck in both round and octagonal formats. All told, 645 octagonal ìslugs”ù were sold at the Expo and afterward. A beautiful type coin, unique in its format. The presently offered coin is in a wonderful state of preservation for the collector. A vibrant, satiny golden luster blankets both the obverse and reverse. Well struck and attractive for the assigned grade, these large gold pieces, although struck for collectors, often have large marks or were cleaned by non-numismatic owners. This coin has a few unobtrusive ticks and lines, all perfectly appropriate for the MS63 grade assigned. PCGS 167, NGC 111. The combined populations from PCGS and NGC in all grades add to more than the 645 distributed, meaning that there is a lot of duplication in the Population and Census data. This is a classic type that is a centerpiece of the collections that they grace. The most recent brought $72,000 in September 2018, and prior to that, two sold for $76,375, both in January 2016. Currently, the PCGS Price Guide lists this grade at $87,500. Truly a rare coin and always in demand. PCGS# 7452 | ESTIMATE: $62,500+ 224

The surfaces are essentially problem free and the eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 8, NGC 6. The last two MS67+s to sell were CAC approved and sold for $8,225 (the most recent in the 2017 FUN auction). Collectors Universe lists a value of $10,000. Just a single MS68 is graded finer, a coin that has never sold in auction. Worthy of a high ranking Registry Set of gold commems and will see stiff competition. PCGS# 7458 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+ LOT 510 G$1 1922 GRANT WITH STAR. PCGS MS67+ CAC A simply stunning SUPERB GEM Grant gold dollar, this coin really is a delight to behold. The surfaces are flawless. Using a strong glass all we are able to see are a few swirling mint made die lines that are common to the type. A rich frosty luster glows on both sides of this impressive example. Every detail is fully struck and the surfaces have a lovely honey orange tone. The eye appeal is amazing! PCGS 303, NGC 129, CAC 104. There are 28 in MS67+ and just 5 coins finer. The most recent PCGS-graded examples with CAC approval have brought between $4,080 and $5,760 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $5,250. A great looking coin for any carefully selected gold commem set, and one that is sure to see strong bidding. PCGS# 7459 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ LOT 511 $2.50 1926 SESQUICENTENNIAL. PCGS MS66 CAC What an AMAZING, superb GEM quality Sesquicentennial quarter eagle! A brilliant satin blooms from all over with very flashy, radiating cartwheel luster. Every design element is sharply struck showing full definition. A medium orange golden-glow shows some areas of light rose toning, giving this beauty a stunning look. Only under the magnification of a strong loupe can you see any tiny ticks. The eye appeal, as you might expect is incredible! PCGS 194, NGC 109, CAC 18. DO NOT LET THE POPS FOOL YOU! The ONLY PCGS/CAC example to sell in auction brought $10,925 in July 2009--a DECADE ago! There are just nine coins finer, eight of which are 66+, and CAC examples have sold in the $13,000+ range. This is a great coin, a real prize for the gold commem collector! PCGS# 7466 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ 225

LOT 512 $50 1851 HUMBERT. REEDED EDGE, 880. NGC AU53 CAC K-5, considered to be low R-5. This is a very handsome example of this rare and impressive type. Wonderful honey-gold coloration coats the surfaces on both sides. Both sides are boldly defined,with just some minor weakness on the highest points of the design types. While lightly worn and showing some minor contact marks, these are very minimal. The edges are solid, free of any dings that usually plague the corners. This is quite the pleasing coin and when you consider how choppy a 2.5 ounce gold coin that circulated during the Gold Rush can be, this one is very high end. Without a doubt this is one of the more eye appealing AU examples you will encounter. Perennially popular among collectors, these ìingots”ù or ìslugs”ù were struck in the U.S. Assay office in San Francisco, under the direction of Augustus Humbert. His mint operated for several years before the Federal government took over operations and eventually in 1854 opened as the official branch mint in San Francisco. Because of his reputation for honesty, Humbertís operations put out of business many of the other assaying and minting firms that opened after the discovery of gold in California. Indeed, these ìslugs”ù were so well received in ìold west”ù commerce, even after the official branch mint at San Francisco poured federal issue gold coins into commercial streams, they were still widely circulated. PCGS 6, NGC 12, CAC 4. These large gold coins are always in demand, and even the lowest quality examples approach five figure prices. By comparison, this high quality AU53 seems like a bargain! The only CAC-approved example to sell in auction was a PCGS coin, which sold for $69,000 in the 2012 FUN auction. Finer examples are very few and far between, very rarely offered. This is a very important opportunity for anyone looking to add a very attractive, high grade example to an advanced type set or for anyone who specializes in Territorial or Pioneer gold coins. We anticipate strong bidding when this one crosses the block! PCGS# 10211 | ESTIMATE: $47,500+ 226

LOT 513 $1 1879 J-1629 PCGS PR67 CAC WHOA! Get a load of this immaculate J-1629 Goloid dollar! We have handled thousands of AMAZING patterns, but this coin is what dreams are made of! This coin is of such high end quality and is FLAWLESS that it almost looks too good to be real! It really is a fantastic, SUPERB example of the smaller sized Goloid Metric dollar and is easily among the VERY FINEST of all Goloid dollars, regardless of Judd number! Featuring William Barber’s Liberty head design on the obverse and the Goloid composition on the reverse, this pattern is rated R-7+ (fewer than half a dozen known) and is struck in aluminum with a Reeded Edge. The technical qualities are all there and then some on this SUPERB GEM. The aluminum surfaces have a semi-lustrous reflective character in the fields. The devices are very well struck with full definition on both sides. Unlike many patterns struck in aluminum, this one lacks any distracting hairlines, corrosion, or any other post minting issues that usually plague coins in this composition. The eye appeal is quite high end. It is also fresh to the market, coming to us from a client who put it away many years ago. It is ex. Lester Merkin’s March 1968 Auction, lot 360. It is our great pleasure to offer this magnificent coin to the current generation of collectors. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. There are no recent auction records for a J-1629 in any grade. The most recent example to sell was the Tree Many Feathers coin in November 2001. The Garrett Coin, which is now graded PCGS PR69, is in the Simpson Collection and will not be available anytime soon! A grand opportunity not to be missed by any advanced collector of patterns. It may well be a VERY long time until another comes up for sale! PCGS# 62007 | ESTIMATE: $33,000+ 227

LOT 514 $3 1875 J-1436. PCGS PR65 RB CAC Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer this EXTREMELY RARE $3 die trial, a piece that is actually RARER than the regular issue (a Proof only date, of which perhaps 20-25 survive). Struck from the regular Proof $3 gold dies in copper with a reeded edge. Listed in Judd as R-7+, this seems low, as Pollock only lists two examples. Richly toned copper surfaces show off a dazzling array of blues and violets that intermingle with gold and large amounts of the original copper red, particularly on the reverse. Sharply struck throughout the design, with full definition on all the details, care was taken to strike this GEM. Aside from the most minute, microscopic flecks, the surfaces are smooth and free of distracting marks or lines. Indeed, all we see with a strong glass are mint made lines and some old die rust. The eye appeal is spectacular. This coin is currently the only one graded by PCGS in any color designation, and the only example showing as having sold in auction in PCGS CoinFacts is an NGC PR64 CAC, struck in GILT copper in the 2017 ANA auction, and prior to that, a raw example, called PR60 sold in June 1990 (that coin was gilt, and we believe that it is the same one that sold in 2017)! Think about all the large pattern collections that have sold in auction since 1990, and just one contained a J-1436! We believe this is the coin that is listed in Pollock as having last been sold in Lester Merkin’s September 1974 auction, lot 231, although matching this coin to the half tone, black and white photo is not 100% definitive. The only other example noted by Pollock was the King Farouck coin, which is listed as “EF.” The uspatterns.com website notes that this is more likely an off-metal striking, rather than a die trial, and sold in special sets to VIP collectors. The number struck was tiny, and likely no more than 6 were originally produced. Since the only other example we can identify was gilt, we are comfortable saying this coin is quite possibly more like an R-8 with no more than three examples surviving! PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. There are no auction records appropriate for this major rarity. If you consider that the regular issue 1875 $3 is a Proof-only striking, and any example that comes up for auction today would carry a six-figure price tag, the current Collectors Universe value for this semi-UNIQUE pattern at $85,000 seems reasonable. This is an opportunity of the utmost importance to the advanced Pattern or $3 gold collector and is missing from most major Pattern collections ever assembled. Worthy of a world class collection, this is a truly unique opportunity not to be missed! PCGS# 71743 | ESTIMATE: $60,000+ 228
