OFFICIAL AUCTIONEER OF THE PCGS MEMBERS ONLY SHOW Dear Collectors, Welcome to the 34th Regency Auction. As always, we never know how the auction is going to look until after it is all put together, though, prior to our consignment deadline, we were already thrilled with the coins consigned. With the ANA show and the consignment deadline now passed, the final offering is one for the history books. We know that there will be coins for all sorts of collectors, from type coin generalists to dedicated die variety specialists, you will find something to add to your collection in this auction. Spread throughout the sale are select type coins from THE TYPE SET, the finest ever, assembled by Oliver Jung. We also are proud to offer an extensive offering of Lincoln Cent varieties in the Hanover Collection. A GEM set of Proof Liberty nickels, the Meridan Collection, has superb examples mostly with cameo contrast and CAC approval. Many other important consignments have been put into the sale, from collectors and dealers, both large and small. We think attention should be paid to the silver dollar section, as there are amazing early, Seated, Trade, and Morgan dollars that will delight any collector. 20th Century condition rarities abound as well. This assemblage of numismatic rarities is exceptional, even for a Legend Regency Auction. Each sale gets better and better!

We passed on nearly 100 coins that were offered to us for this auction.

LISTED BID INCREMENTS Bid increments are to serve as a general guideline.

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. We always advise you to view the coins you are interested in and calculate what you’ll pay using as much information as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. We are here to help you!

Laura Sperber P R I N C I PA L S Partner Laura was raised in Highland Park, NJ. During high school, the coin bug hit her hard. Her trip to the 1976 NYC Bruce Morelan ANA left a lasting mark and huge desire for her to own and handle the greatest rarities. While attending Monmouth Partner University, Laura attended coin shows more than classes. After college, she started LSS RCI, a wholesale coin company. In 1986, she realized the need for a “better” coin retailer and teamed up in 1986 with George Huang to form Julie Abrams Legend Numismatics. President In 1996 Bruce Morelan became a partner and since then Legend has exclusively built or assisted in assembling this generation’s greatest collections. In 2012 Laura saw the need for a smaller, boutique auction firm, and created Legend-Morphy with Dan Morphy, whom she split with in 2014. Today, Laura is also a leading consumer advocate for coins. The passion has never subsided, and she keeps a beautiful Proof Walker on her desk to this day. Bruce started collecting coins when he was only six years old and by the time he was in high school his dream was to be a coin dealer. But life intervened and instead, Bruce went into business. By chance, he became Legend Numismatics’ financial backer in 1996. His great grandmother had given him three coins when he was young, one of which being a Trade Dollar, so he set out to build the finest Trade Dollar set. After a few years with ultra rarities, Bruce returned to his love of dollars and completed both a set of Gobrechts and a set of Seated Dollars. After selling those sets, Bruce recently returned to dollars with a new Gobrecht set and a spectacular early dollar set capped by his dream coin, the Amon Carter 1794 Dollar. Not many collector’s can say they have completed not only the finest 1794-1885 Dollar Sets and have over the years owned such coins as two 1913 Liberty Head Nickels, an 1894-S Dime, 1876-CC Twenty Cent piece, 1827 Original and Restrike Quarters, 1838-O Half Dollar, two 1885 Trade Dollars and four 1884 Trade Dollars! Julie Abrams started in numismatics in 1986 when she joined up with Bernard Rome and launched Teletrade, the first computerized auction company. Teletrade developed a unique coin trading method, utilizing state-of-the-art digitized voice board technology to run live auctions before the advent of the internet. As President of Teletrade, Julie helped expand the company, increasing the frequency of auctions and expanding annual sales to $24 million within a few years. In 1999, GMAI, a publicly traded company, purchased Teletrade and Ms. Abrams became Executive Vice President of Sales for the parent company. Her job responsibilities included continuing her role as CEO for Teletrade as well as marketing to buyers and consignors, with the goal of maintaining a balance between inventory and sales while growing the business. In 2004 she joined Stacks-Bowers, an old world traditional auction house where she worked to expand their e-commerce presence, including the development of an online bidding platform for the firm. She also marketed Stacks’ programs to secure consignments from dealers and institutions such as banks, museums and universities. Julie is a member of the American Numismatic Association, the Central States Numismatic Association and Florida United Numismatists.

OFFICIAL AUCTIONEER OF THE PCGS MEMBERS ONLY SHOW THE REGENCY AUCTION 34 Auction Room: Michelangelo Thursday, September 26 - 4:30 PM PT THE BELLAGIO 3708 Las Vegas Blvd. South Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 LOT VIEWING Tuesday, September 24 - 2PM-6PM PT | Appointment Only Location: Da Vinci 2 Wednesday, September 25 - 9AM-6PM PT Location: Da Vinci 2 Thursday, September 26 - 9AM-3:30PM PT Location: Da Vinci 2 LOT PICKUP Friday, September 27 - 9AM-11AM PT Location: Da Vinci 2

LOT 1 1/2C 1855 PCGS MS65 RD An unsullied GEM with fathomless mint red evenly distributed over luminous, frosty luster. ORIGINAL and CHERRY! Insignificant light carbon specks are noted. The central motifs are struck to full advantage, but the borders have the typical weakness encountered on issues struck from 1855-1857, although no real reason is known. Suspicion is it probably has something to do with the condition of the knuckle-action press from which they were coined. It is likely that this coin was part of a hoard of uncirculated examples found during the 1930s by Thomas L. Elder. Conjecture is this hoard was a byproduct of the Bank Holiday which was ordered by President Roosevelt in 1933. While many banks failed or reorganized, hundreds, if not thousands of bags of halves, dollars, Barber silver coinage and large cents as well as half cents emerged from bank vaults during the moratorium on the banking business. PCGS 39, NGC 12. There are a wide range of APRs for PCGS graded GEM examples, ranging from $2,640 to $3,525 in their most recent appearances, and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,250. Just four coins are graded finer in the RD designation, all MS65+ RD, making this GEM among the finest certified for date or type collectors. Worthy of a strong bid! PCGS# 1235 | ESTIMATE: $3,000+ 8

LOT 2 L1C 1833 PCGS MS66 RB CAC Ex Naftzger and D. Brent Pogue Collections. By now, you know that our principals love any coin that was in the world famous Naftzger Collection. His taste in quality and eye appeal was impeccable! This marvelous, lustrous N-3 is tied for FINEST KNOWN in the Noyes Census, and is the plate for the C/C die state. A bold, vibrant mint luster blooms with a superb radiant glow, that comes to life with exceptionally brilliant original mint red. The heavy flow lines from the advanced state of both dies are partially responsible for the vivacious luster on both sides. The central devices are sharply struck while the flow lines tend to weaken some of the peripheral devices. Regardless, this exceptionally high end GEM has a stunning visual allure that places it among the FINEST that survive. Boasting an extensive provenance that includes Ted Naftzger and D. Brent Pogue, it is most recently from THE TYPE SET, formed by Oliver Jung. Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer this amazing large cent. PCGS 3, NGC 0, CAC 2. This coin sold for $44,650 in the March 2017 Pogue, Part V Collection sale. The opportunity to acquire such a great large cent usually only occurs when all time great collections are offered in auction. Don’t let this one pass you by! PCGS# 37025 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 9

LOT 3 L1C 1838 PCGS MS66+ BN CAC N-7. Impeccable surfaces, luster, color, everything! One of the FINEST graded at either service in all color designations. Brilliant luster rolls throughout, amplifying the beautiful mahogany surfaces. Traces of the original mint red color cling to the protected areas of the design, making the sharply struck devices really stand out with a dramatic visual allure. You know how much our owner, Laura Sperber, loves GEM large cents, and you will certainly fall in love with this one! PCGS 31, NGC 15, CAC 12. There are four in MS66+ BN with just two finer. The only one to ever sell brought $7,638 back in June 2017, and we think this one is of even higher quality. Bound for a SUPERB type or date set of large cents and worthy of a very strong bid! PCGS# 1741 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+ LOT 4 L1C 1855 UPRIGHT 55. PCGS MS66 RD If there is one series that you really should not expect pristine, original luster it is the Large Cent series. These large copper coins were not often struck under the best of circumstances on planchets made from extremely reactive metal. Toning, corrosion, and other environmental issues have left precious few GEM Red survivors for collectors. Nearly SUPERB in quality, this PQ late date Coronet large cent possesses a very strong, vibrant original red mint luster that swirls on both sides of this beautiful GEM. Sharply struck devices on both sides are given extra depth by the wonderful luster. The only thing from perfection is a microscopic fleck or two on the reverse--otherwise this SUPERB large cent is flawless. PCGS 17, NGC 6. While not CAC-approved, the eye appeal is very close to the CAC coin we sold in December 2017 for $8,519. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,500, and while there are three graded finer, all MS66+ RD, only the Hines-Starr-Cardinal- Pogue PCGS MS66+ CAC, has ever sold, realizing $35,250 in March 2017. A great looking type coin worthy of any great type or date set of Large cents! PCGS# 1909 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+ 10

LOT 5 1C 1856 FLYING EAGLE. PCGS PR66 CAC Unbelievable quality in every possible way! Truly a magnificent example of this important numismatic rarity and one of the absolute FINEST KNOWN examples! It is a real honor for Legend Rare Coin Auctions to offer this AMAZING GEM! Everything about this coin is SUPERB-both technically and aesthetically! Watery mirrored fields are flashy and bold with a seductive reflection. They are icy smooth and the epitome of cleanliness and extreme clarity. The razor sharp devices stand out with a dramatic, almost three dimensional effect on both sides. The design elements are thickly frosted and the reverse contrast is essentially full cameo. The obverse has rich violet-blue and rose overtones that blend with the original tan, gold, and brown patina. The reverse is an even tan-gold with delicate pastel iridescent hues evenly dusted over the surfaces. Using a strong glass, we are totally unable to locate a single mark, tick, line, or fleck anywhere, of any kind, that is worthy of mention. Needless to say, this is by far one of the most beautiful and high quality SUPERB GEM Flyers we have ever had the pleasure of offering! By the early 1850s, the rising price of copper forced the mint to begin experimenting with new alloys and reducing the size of the large cent. Various patterns and proposed compositions were tested, and in 1856, a limited quantity of small-sized copper-nickel Flying Eagle cents were struck. While the final mintage is still unknown, it was indeed small, just enough to test the dies and show the concept to Congress. It is thought that they were restruck up to 1860. Long considered one of the “blue chips” of numismatics, a group of coins that is always in demand, regardless of the market conditions, in all grades, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent is a truly historic coin. PCGS 5, NGC 3, CAC 2. Only one PCGS/CAC coin has ever sold in auction, realizing $88,125 in the 2016 FUN auction. This marvelously toned, Premium Quality GEM is worthy of the FINEST of collections and is worthy of a premium bid. NOTE: PCGS has graded just two coins higher, a PR67 and a PR67+, which have never sold in auction, but would likely be a six-figure coin if it came up today. Needless to say, this is an opportunity of the utmost importance for any collector! PCGS# 2037 | ESTIMATE: $60,000+ 11

LOT 6 1C 1859 PCGS MS66 A wonderful GEM example for the first year of the series and a single year type coin with the laurel wreath reverse. EXQUISITE mint bloom and luster are present over glowing, golden fields. Exceptional strike with all of the design details struck to full advantage, not least of which is the full headdress feathers, 4 strong diamonds and sharp veins in the leaves of the laurel wreath. A popular and desirable first year issue and a perennial favorite among collectors. REFRESHINGLY free of carbon or fly specks and just a tick or two on the reverse away from a + grade or finer, which requires strong magnification to locate. PCGS 30, NGC 10. This is another date that has a very wide range of prices realized in auction, with the current PCGS Price Guide value listed at $5,200 and the average APR being $5,304. Extremely RARE any finer, just 6 grade finer at PCGS, all MS66+. This is a top-drawer example that only goes home with you if you are an aggressive bidder. PCGS# 2052 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ LOT 7 1C 1860 POINTED BUST. PCGS MS66+ CAC EXQUISITELY struck with complete definition of the feathers in the headdress, four distinct diamonds and a strong shield. Golden fields are accentuated by apricot and dusty rose highlights which skip playfully over the undulating luster. Although there are no mintage figures to indicate how many of the Pointed Bust type were coined, it is clear that the Pointed Bust is the rarer of the two obverse hubs made for the year. As a whole, for the year, GEM quality specimens are exceedingly hard to come by. PCGS 14, NGC 2, CAC 8. Just 3 pieces have garnered the coveted MS66+ designation at PCGS. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,500, and we sold one for $14,100 in our May 2017 Regency Auction. Just two MS67s have graded finer at PCGS, and if one came to market today, it would be expected to fetch between $32,000 and $35,000. Worth of a strong bid indeed from the advanced Indian cent collector! PCGS# 2056 | ESTIMATE: $11,000+ LOT 8 1C 1862 PCGS MS67 This ultra high grade beauty, easily one of the best preserved 1862 cents is among the FINEST graded at either service. Clearly worthy of its placement in the greatest type set of all time. Boldly lustrous surfaces show light copper, nickel-golden tan patina, as brilliant in 2019 as it was 157 years ago when it first fell off the dies in Philadelphia. Only the tiniest specks are noted under intense scrutiny. The eye appeal is beautiful! PCGS 13, NGC 5. The most recent example to sell brought $5,173 in the 2018 FUN auction, and we sold one for $6,169 in our July 2017 Regency Auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $6,500. There is just a single MS67+ graded finer that is worth $20,000 or more today. This is a certainly a SUPERB example for any type or date set. Good luck. PCGS# 2064 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+ 12

LOT 9 1C 1864 BRONZE. PCGS MS66 RD CAC A simply stunning GEM that is also endorsed with an Eagle Eye Photo Seal; this double endorsement places this beauty in a rarified class which will delight any advanced collector of Indian Head cents. Brilliant red coloration is set aglow by a strong mint luster. The palest dusting of violet-rose augments the exceptional originality of this visually impressive early Indian cent. Well struck and essentially perfect surfaces delight the viewer, and the quality holds up even under strong magnification. Housed in an old green tag holder. PCGS 43, NGC 27, CAC 21. With just five coins graded finer, this marvelous PQ GEM is deserving of a very strong bid, as it received when it sold in the 2018 ANA auction for $9,600. If you missed this coin last summer, now is a very rare second chance opportunity to bid again! Good luck!

LOT 12 1C 1877 PCGS AU58 CAC An AWESOME example of this classic, key date. Who could ask for anything more? With a CAC designation, a PhotoSeal sticker and card of authenticity, this coin is rocking it! And we haven’t even started to describe the surface and strike yet! Booming luster rolls in waves over red and brown surfaces graced by a whisper of lime green and lilac toning peeking through from protected areas. It’s all about the strike on Indian cents and this piece is a looker; fully delineated feather details extend all the way to the tips, and 3 of the 4 diamonds are clearly present, attesting to the strong strike. A couple of random tick marks are noted which are commensurate with the grade. PCGS 101, NGC 88, CAC 26. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,250 and the most recent PCGS/CAC example to sell in auction realized $3,643 in our May 2018 Regency Auction.

Everyman Registry Set collectors, this is a piece worthy of bidding fervor. PCGS# 2127 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+ LOT 13 1C 1886 VARIETY 2. PCGS MS65+ RD CAC There are two varieties of 1886 cent, distinguished by the letters that the lowest point of the Indian’s headdress points to. For Variety 2, as here, it points to the space between the C and A of AMERICA, while Variety 1 the feather points to the space between I and C. The variety offered here is certainly scarcer in the highest Red Mint State grades, as this coin is tied for second FINEST graded at PCGS. The Variety 2 cents also have a very distinctive luster that is extremely satiny and not a brilliant cartwheel luster as often seen. The present coin has a vibrant and bold red color that has very attractive golden accents that really pop when rotated. Struck from a later die state, the dies show evidence of clashing and some crumbling at the peripheries which help explain some of the bluntness of definition in areas. We note a few, insignificant flecks for accuracy, the largest is at the upper right serif of E in ONE, which will serve as a pedigree marker for this impressive GEM! PCGS 10, NGC 9, CAC 5. There are only 2 in MS65+ RD, the other one sold in the 2015 ANA auction for $18,800 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $22,000. There are just seven MS66 RDs finer, which carry a PCGS Price Guide value of $42,500. We suggest if you are working on a world class set, you do yourself a favor and bid on this GEM. Good luck! PCGS# 92156 | ESTIMATE: $17,000+ LOT 14 1C 1893 PCGS MS66 RD CAC A lovely, original GEM RED 1893 cent housed in an old green tag holder. Radiating mint luster blooms on both sides accenting a bold strike and generally clean surfaces. A fleck or two, and a tiny contact mark are all that keep this GEM from an even higher grade. PCGS 37, NGC 24, CAC 15. The most recent example sold in the 2018 ANA auction for $2,880 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $2,650. With just 10 finer, and 66+s valued between $8,000 and $10,000, this coin represents a great value. Good luck! PCGS# 2186 | ESTIMATE: $2,500+ 14

LOT 15 1C 1894 PCGS MS66 BN CAC FINEST KNOWN FOR THE GRADE AND DESIGNATION! SERIOUSLY, could an Indian cent designated as brown be any prettier than this piece? This is the look we LOVE. Warm chestnut brown fields are enhanced by generous amounts of mint red peeking through thick, frosty luster. Not a spot or mark to be found anywhere, even with a glass! We havenít even mentioned how tough and highly sought after this date is, either. One of the most popular of the later dates. PCGS 1, NGC 4, CAC 1. Although a coin sold for $600 in 2011, our contention is this coin should fetch a price comparable to a Red and Brown issue, as it is super close to one. Better keep the bidder paddle up on this fantastic coin if you intend to go home with it! PCGS# 2187 | ESTIMATE: $700+ LOT 16 1C 1899 PCGS MS66+ RD CAC BANK WRAPPED roll RED! Fathomless frost and mint bloom accent the surfaces. Razor sharp device details. A barely noticeable speck of carbon is noted in the date and is only mentioned for the sake of accuracy. So much nicer than the “average” example which seems to display a golden color, not a rich ORIGINAL MINT RED like this piece. Maybe that is why there are so few CAC examples versus the number slabbed! PCGS 148, NGC 51, CAC 29. There are 31 graded MS66+ RD. Only one auction record for a CAC piece, our sale in September 2018 for $2,530, and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $2,450. A generous bid is called for if you want to be the lucky owner! PCGS# 2204 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+ LOT 17 1C 1909 INDIAN. PCGS MS66+ RD CAC Stunning, high end RED mint brilliance dominates both obverse and reverse on this nearly perfect SUPERB GEM. This coin looks as fresh today as it did when the dies came together. The details are fully struck up and very bold. PCGS 245, NGC 40, CAC 80. There are 36 graded MS66+ RD and 21 finer. The last one to sell realized $1,560 in December 2018. Prior to that, a PCGS/CAC example brought $2,115 in June 2017. The current PCGS value is listed at $2,350 and this one will see strong bidding for its great eye appeal.

LOT 18 1C 1909-S INDIAN. PCGS MS66+ RB CAC First off, this SUPERB GEM is about 95% RED! The only “BN” we see is some delicate wood grain on the obverse that truly attests to the amazing originality. A very strong, bold mint luster radiates brilliantly accenting the soft golden highlights seen among the fiery red hue. Sharply struck up, this GEM has a stunning high end look that with just a touch more vibrance to the red would be a $20,000 coin. PCGS 9, NGC 9, CAC 5. There are just two graded MS66+ RB and NONE finer in the designation. NO CAC approved example in any MS66 RB has ever sold in auction. Collectors Universe lists a value of $10,000 in MS66+ RB and keeping in mind that a PCGS MS66 RD CAC sold in the 2018 ANA auction for $21,600, we think this 95% RD example offers the collector a SUPERB option! Good luck. PCGS# 2239 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+ LOT 19 1C 1909-S INDIAN. PCGS MS66 RD CAC An amazingly high end and high grade example of this final Indian cent and Key date issue in this ever popular series. A low mintage combined with extensive use in commerce has left very few GEM survivors, especially in this lofty state of preservation for collectors to choose from. Totally clean surfaces are not as common on this date as you might think, indeed its surfaces are clean and above average. This cataloger believes this coin has been safely stored since the day it left the bank. A strong glowing luster beams from all over. Both sides are a bold, original GEM Mint red color devoid of any toning, discolorations, or flecks of any kind. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and do stand out. The eye appeal is fabulous! PCGS 30, NGC 8, CAC 11. The most recent example sold in the 2018 ANA auction for $21,600 and prior to that, one sold in the 2018 FUN auction for $13,200.

The last time they owned it they paid $54,343 in January 2014. PCGS has graded only one BN higher, a PR66 (which sold for $129,250 in September 2013).

This occurred since the Mint inadvertently shipped a mint state die to the San Francisco Mint without the die containing the S mint mark. This mint state die was then polished, sand blasted, struck several times and remarkably, it was then transformed into a proof die.” Discovered on July 18, 1990 by Jim Gullen, the mint later revealed that 145 examples had been destroyed. It is believed that fewer than 200 survive today in all grades. This is a perfect Proof! Ultra deep mirrors and thickly frosted devices combine for a wonderful DCAM effect. PCGS 58, NGC 28.

LOT 81 1C 1955 DOUBLED DIE OBVERSE. PCGS MS64+ RD CAC A gorgeous GEM Red example of this famed Doubled Die issue, one of the most popular coins in the entire Lincoln cent series. Approximately 20,000 were produced when a working die and a working hub were struck together, slightly rotated, creating the dramatic doubling at LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 1955. Brilliant, fiery red luster glows vividly on both sides. Soft rose, peach, and gold iridescent overtones really pop when rotated in a light giving this beauty a seductive visual allure. A couple of toning flecks and a tiny contact mark or two can be seen with the aid of strong glass, none of which detract from the outstanding eye appeal. Many of the doubled dies were placed into the cellophane wrapping of cigarette packs in vending machines. At the time, a pack cost 23 cents, so vending machine operators would put the 2 cent change in the pack. Because of this, most survivors remain in Mint State grades, but ones with full, original RED coloration remain quite difficult to find! PCGS 174, NGC 41, CAC 33.

The present GEM is among the FINEST graded in the RB color classification. It is mostly a fiery, original RED color with a tinge of deeper violet at the lower reverse. Indeed, judging by the obverse alone, this coin would be in a full RED holder. Sharply struck with boldly defined details, especially the impressive doubling. There are a few minor ticks scattered about the obverse, none of which really distract from the naked eye visual allure. Free from any unsightly carbon flecks anywhere. A major modern Lincoln cent rarity that is missing from many collections. There are two Doubled Die Obverse varieties, FS-101, and FS-103.
