LOT 217 10C 1941 PCGS MS68+ FB CAC Even if this coin was not the SOLE FINEST graded at either service, it would be a very special coin. But as the SOLE FINEST, its special qualities are totally off the charts! Stunningly brilliant silver mint luster blooms all over with stunning vivacity. There is a dusting of pale azure iridescence that then deepens to an inverted arc of rainbow toning along the lower periphery. The devices are razor sharp in definition and as expected every detail is superbly rendered. The surfaces are absolutely PRISTINE and the eye appeal is AMAZING! PCGS 16, NGC 7, CAC 8. This is the SOLE FINEST in MS68+ FB. PCGS has assigned an estimated value of $15,000, but as we saw in our June 2019 Regency Auction, these sole Pop Top Mercury dimes are being pursued by numerous Registry Set collectors, and it would not shock us at all if this gorgeous dime brought a world record price! Bound for the #1 Registry Set of Mercury dimes! Good luck! PCGS# 5029 | ESTIMATE: $13,000+ LOT 218 10C 1943-D PCGS MS68 FB CAC This is a totally original, SUPERB GEM that boasts an inspiring and bold mint luster that has an extremely flashy radiance. The obverse is haloed by very pleasing rose and amber-gold. The strike is strong throughout and the eye appeal is exceptional. PCGS 46, NGC 28, CAC 18. The last two PCGS MS68 FBs sold in our auctions: a vividly toned monster that brought $5,053 in June 2019 and a non-CAC coin that sold for $1,087. While not the finest, it is a wonderful SUPEB GEM worthy of any great collection of Mercury dimes and should bring a premium bid. PCGS# 5047 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+ LOT 219 10C 1944 PCGS MS68 FB A remarkably brilliant, exceptionally lustrous MS68 FB example of this date, tied for FINEST GRADED. Well struck, the bands are all split and the central band is just shy of being fully rounded as well, which is why we think CAC did not bean this well preserved example. To think that it is one of only seven that survive in such a high grade (from an original mintage of over 1/4 BILLION). The surfaces are pristine and the eye appeal marvelous! PCGS 7, NGC 1. The last one sold in the 2015 ANA auction for $12,925 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $13,500. There is a record from a decade ago at $25,300. NOTE: NO MS68 FB has been approved by CAC, so we know that bidding action will be strong for this beauty. Good luck! PCGS# 5051 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ 99

LOT 220 10C 1945-S MICRO S. PCGS MS67+ FB CAC A totally original and high end SUPERB GEM tied for second FINEST graded by PCGS in the Full Band designation. A popular and scarce variety, which is extremely rare in this lofty state of preservation. Clearly this lustrous beauty sat for ages in an old collector envelope, you can see the kraft paper’s texture imprinted in the splendid patination. Rose-gold and slate-blue toning is accented by brilliant, satiny mint luster. The lustrous surfaces are without flaws and the strike is full. Every detail is crisply rendered from a forceful blow from the dies. The eye appeal is exceptional! PCGS 41, NGC 4, CAC 12. There are 4 in MS67+ FB and only one has ever sold in auction, which realized $12,000 in the 2019 FUN auction. Keep in mind that we just sold a PCGS MS68 FB CAC for $25,850 in our March 2019 Regency Auction. What a great coin for the advanced collector! PCGS# 5063 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ LOT 221 10C 1952-S PCGS MS68 FB A beautifully toned, pristine 1952-S dime! Tied for FINEST graded, and even the most casual glance reveals the stunning technical and aesthetic qualities. Sharply struck, ultra clean, and satiny lustrous, with a dusting of totally original patina, likely from long term storage in a mint set. The pastel tone is quite light, delicate, and visually very appealing. PCGS 6, NGC 2. NONE FINER. Worthy of placement in one of the FINEST Roosevelt dime sets. The last two examples sold in November 2016 and December 2015 for $2,820 and the current PCGS value is listed at $3,400. If you are working on the top ranking set, here is a rare opportunity to check this date off your list. PCGS# 85102 | ESTIMATE: $2,400+ 100

LOT 222 10C 1968 NO S. PCGS PR68+ One of the FINEST in the non-CAM designations and a very pretty GEM that is virtually PERFECT in every way. There is nothing to be found anywhere with a strong glass. It is a MAJOR modern rarity. The 1968 NO S. Proof Dime is one of the RAREST modern mint issues. 1968 saw the first year of Proofs struck at the San Francisco mint, and a very limited, but unknown number of Proof dimes made it into sets without the “S” mint mark. As expected for a recent proof, the surfaces are flawless; the mirrors deep, clearly reflective, and beaming. The obverse devices have a moderate amount of frost, but not enough for PCGS to designate it a CAM. Regardless, the eye appeal is stupendous! PCGS 2, NGC 0. Neither has ever sold in auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $27,500. We sold a PR68 CAM in our September 2018 Regency Auction for $39,950 and the are NO DCAMs graded. A real prize for any collector of modern dimes. PCGS# 5245 | ESTIMATE: $22,000+ 101

LOT 223 20C 1875-S/S FS-302. PCGS MS66+ A highly lustrous and wonderfully preserved example of this popular variety. For the variety, this is the FINEST seen at PCGS. A rich satin frost blooms all over in the fields accenting the crisply struck design features. Free of any distracting marks, this GEM has a bright silver brilliance and bold visual allure. The FS-301is a double “error” variety, which includes the mispunched date on the obverse and the repunching of the mint mark. At the time the obverse die was being produced, the date logotype dropped onto the die in the incorrect position (you can see evidence of this as a raised “bar” in the denticles below the 7 of the date. The repunching of the mintmark is clear. This is a fairly common variety, which commands a slight premium over the regular 1875-S. For the date: PCGS 11, NGC 2. The only PCGS MS66+s were CAC approved, which sold in the $9,000-$10,000 range. Collector’s Universe does not list a value for the variety in this grade, but in MS66, it is listed at $8,000. Worthy of an advanced collection and a premium bid. Good luck! PCGS# 5298 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ LOT 224 20C 1875-S PCGS MS67 This is a wonderful and high end example of this odd denomination. A real SUPERB GEM, clearly this coin has been lovingly cared for over the last 150 years! Both sides are boldly lustrous with a lovely, original, pearly hue that is dusted delicately over smooth fields and sharply struck devices. A band of gold, tan, olive, and russet hues graces areas of the periphery imparting a classic, old time collection look. While there is a touch of weakness, as usually seen on the reverse, the definition is much stronger than usually seen on examples of this date. The surfaces are of impeccable quality, and the eye appeal is spectacular for the type! PCGS 6, NGC 8. The last one to sell realized $19,200 in October 2018 and prior to that, one sold in September 2018 for $33,600. The current PCGS value is listed at $25,000. A single MS68 is graded finer at PCGS and was most recently sold for $52,875. This coin is one of the FINEST and worthy of a SUPERB type set. PCGS#5298 | ESTIMATE: $17,500+ 102

LOT 225 25C 1805 PCGS MS62+ A condition census level B-3 quarter; which like all Draped Bust quarters, is quite RARE in Mint State. This marvelous CHOICE example is worthy of any well selected type set, or collection of early quarters. A rich, satiny mint luster blooms with a bold brilliance on both sides, accenting a delightful blush of delicate lilac, rose, and pearlescent patina which graces the obverse surfaces. A well executed strike shows essentially fully defined design elements. Any of the minor weakness in strike is likely a result of the advanced state of the dies, showing multiple reverse die cracks and heavy clashing. A few hidden lines are observed with the assistance of a powerful glass, but none detract from the wonderful visual allure. The quarter denomination was not struck with regularity in the early days of the mint. Though silver coinage began in 1794, the quarter was first struck two years later. There would then be an eight year break before they would be struck again. After 1807, the denomination was struck with interruptions from 1815 to 1831. After that they were struck annually. Demand from bullion depositors was limited, as the Spanish colonial 2 Reales were readily available and accepted in early commerce to fill the void. PCGS 2, NGC 0. This coin was last sold in June 2017 as part of the Blue Moon Collection, realizing $18,213. That collection was assembled mostly in the 1970s and 1980s, but the prior provenance was unrecorded in the catalog. For the enterprising numismatic researcher, tracing the pedigree would be an interesting project. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $19,500. RARE any finer, there are 20 coins graded finer in all grades from MS63 to MS65. This is indeed a great type coin, worthy of a wonderful collection. PCGS# 5313 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+ LOT 226 25C 1824/2 PCGS AU55 Ranking near the middle of the Rea-Koenings- Haroutunian Condition Census, this AU55 1824/2 quarter is high grade for the date. This is # 15 on that listing and boasts the Norweb, Charton Meyer, Dennis Loring provenance. Only this one die pair, B-1 was used to strike the 16,000 that are thought to have been minted. Steve Tompkins suggests that the 16,000 quarters listed on Mint warrant # 935, were delivered on December 31, 1823. The present CHOICE AU is originally from the Norweb Collection, where in March 1988 it was described in lot 1539 as “AU-58. Light lilac and silver gray fields. Very attractive overall.” To that we will say, in the 31 years since it was offered in that sale, it retains the same even patination and lovely eye appeal. Well struck throughout with just a trace of wear on the highest points and the fields. A strong glass reveals a few toning spots which identify it as the Norweb coin and a few ancient friction lines in the field account for the AU55 grade. We really are not sure why CAC chose not to endorse this one. PCGS 5, NGC 4. The only PCGS AU55 to ever sell in auction was the CAC-endorsed example that sold in our May 2017 Regency Auction for $25,850. PCGS has graded just four coins finer, one each in AU58, MS61, MS62, and MS64--making this an excellent choice for any Capped Bust quarter specialist. Good luck! PCGS# 5335 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ 103

LOT 227 25C 1825/4/2 BROWNING-2. PCGS AU53 CAC Pleasingly original, this B-2 has hints of retained luster in the protected areas of the design. Light lilac, olive, and russet tan blend over rich silver-gray patina. Boldly struck devices show only a touch of high point friction. The 1825 quarters have long caused confusion among collectors. At various times, there have been listings of 1825/2, 1825/3, and 1825/4. The three die marriages, all of which are overdates, utilized two obverse dies. Research reveals that the two obverse dies were likely left over from 1822, then repunched in 1824, then again in 1825 when they were actually used. The B-2 is the more common of the three varieties, yet, all are quite difficult to find in such wonderful quality and eye appeal. PCGS 9, NGC 7, CAC 1. This marvelous coin last sold in June 2017 for $2,530 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,900. Difficult to find any finer, this wonderful example is the PERFECT collector grade coin for anyone who desires a high end for the grade, fully CHOICE, CAC-approved AU example. Demand will be strong. PCGS# 5337 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+ LOT 228 25C 1853 ARROWS AND RAYS. PCGS MS66 What a fantastic Arrows and Rays quarter! You know this one has got to be special! Ex James Swan, Oliver Jung, Brent Pogue, and again to Oliver Jung! Stunning everything! Condition Census quality, this is among the very FINEST known of this one year type. Bold mint luster has a brilliant, glimmering flash under a layer of iridescent olive, tan, and gold tones that accent the superb underlying silver surfaces. Sharply struck up, every detail is crisp, and razor sharp. Essentially pristine surfaces show just a few tiny die lines and a few other microscopic ticks that can be seen only with the aid of a very powerful loupe. The eye appeal is amazing in every way, we are not exactly sure what CAC saw that precludes its approval - it is truly an amazing example. Placement of the arrows at the date and rays around the eagle came after the Mint Act of 1853, which reduced the content of silver in the half dime through half dollar. One of the results of the flood of gold coming out of California was the ratio of gold to silver in circulation went out of balance, raising the price of silver to a point where the silver content was worth more than face value. Many older silver coins were exported and melted for a profit, creating a shortage in commercial channels. The 1853 Mint Act relieved this problem, but created another. The rays on the reverse proved shortened the life of the dies, and after 15 million were produced, the design was changed, retaining the arrows at the date, but removing the rays, creating a one year only type. The need in commerce for these coins resulted in a very large mintage, but low survival rate. This is one of the very finest known. PCGS 10, NGC 7. PCGS has graded just 2 finer. The Gardner coin, which is a CAC approved example with a very similar look, sold for $36,425 in our May 2018 Regency Auction. Worthy of a very strong bid from anyone needing this one year type for their set, and remember, it graced three great type sets in the past, most recently THE TYPE SET, formed by Oliver Jung. Good luck! PCGS# 5426 | ESTIMATE: $25,000+ 104

LOT 229 LOT 230 25C 1877 PCGS MS67 25C 1877-CC PCGS MS65+ A beautifully toned SUPERB GEM. A crescent moon shaped swath A lovely GEM Carson City quarter, a great coin for a type set. Sharply of azure blue graduates to rings of crimson, fiery orange, and fading struck and brilliantly lustrous surfaces are clean and show off very to honey gold, ending in blast white centers. Mark-free fields even pleasing, original iridescent toning. The eye appeal is very nice. under magnification. Boldly rendered devices. Hints of die clashing are noted within the lines of the shield on the obverse and above the PCGS 3, NGC 1. None of these MS65+s have ever sold in auction, eagle’s left wing on the reverse. but the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,000. The last non-CAC PCGS MS65 sold for $2,280 and the most recent PCGS PCGS 44, NGC 27. The last two auction records are at $4,320, the MS66 without CAC sold for $4,230. This great looking coin should most recent in February 2018 and one in the 2017 ANA auction. bring a price between those two. Good luck! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,750. Surprisingly there are a dozen examples graded higher at PCGS, we had the PCGS# 5505 | ESTIMATE: $2,500+ honor of selling the FINEST KNOWN PCGS MS68 CAC for a world record price in our June 2019 Regency Auction. Charming in all of its nuances and deserving of a substantial bid. PCGS# 05504 | ESTIMATE: $3,200+ LOT 231 LOT 232 25C 1869 PCGS PR66 CAC 25C 1882 PCGS PR66 DCAM CAC Superb in every respect!

Three Deep, clear, clean, and powerfully reflective mirrors highlight this dimensional, pinpoint design detail. If you see any marks in the GEM. When you twirl the coin, the mirrors look like freshly made picture, it is because they are on the holder, NOT the coin. This piece glass.

LOT 233 25C 1887 PCGS PR67+ CAM CAC WOW! This immaculate, SUPERB GEM 1887 quarter stopped us in our tracks when it came through. We have not stopped looking at it; really, it is nearly impossible to not sit and stare at the hypnotic mirrors! Icy smooth, deeply mirrored fields offer exceptional clarity! We have not seen such a visually impressive beauty in ages! The mirrors contrast brilliantly against the frosty, razor sharp design elements, imparting a dramatic cameo contrast that is exceptionally high end and bold. Framed in a dappled halo of amber, gold and variegated blues. The central areas are brilliant silver and untoned. All together, the mirrors, toning, strike, contrast all combine to create a masterpiece of Proof Seated coinage! We love this SUPERB GEM! Only 710 Proofs were struck. PCGS 2, NGC 5, CAC 2. This is the ONLY PR67+ CAM at either service, and is bested by just a single PR68 CAM, which is the Newman coin that brought a record $41,125 in November 2013. Nothing finer than PR66+ CAM has ever sold in auction and that coin was half a decade ago! Clearly these are EXTREMELY RARE in the market. Collectors Universe lists a value of $9,000 in the current Price Guide, but we have the distinct feeling this coin will bring more. Expect strong bidding, there are NO DCAMs anywhere! PCGS# 85588 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ LOT 234 25C 1892 PCGS MS66+ CAC The thick frost dusts needle sharp motifs and in the fields creates a lovely backdrop to BREATHTAKINGLY gorgeous pastel iridescent overtones. Shades of fiery orange, sky blue and soft green are lavishly present on both sides and accent white centers! Not a mark to be found on this cherry piece - even with a loupe! A prize for the quality conscious collector. PCGS 126, NGC 86, CAC 60. Just 14 are graded 66+ at PCGS. the last one to sell realized just $2,035 in our July 2018 Regency Auction, attesting to just how cheap these have become! Collectors Universe lists a $2,450 value. Scarce finer, this is a great coin for any type or date collector. PCGS# 5601 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+ 106

LOT 235 25C 1892-S PCGS MS66 CAC The famed Dr. Steven Duckor Collection coin, as noted on the insert. Truly a premium quality and very high end GEM example of this early branch mint Barber quarter. While the mintage of 964,079 is comparable to other dates, precious few were saved from the ravages of circulation and commerce. The Population in MS65 and finer is quite small, there are 25 graded in that range with just four PCGS MS66s graded. A fully Prooflike example with bold, flashy mirrors that sparkle in the light, giving this GEM a nice CAMEO like contrast on both sides. Delicate golden tone mingles with silver/white iridescence and olive/teal accents. Clearly very well struck from an early state from freshly polished dies with none of the typical weakness seen. Struck from the Type 2 reverse hub, which according to extensive research is about 3 times as rare overall to the Type 1. PCGS 4, NGC 1, CAC 6. The CAC figure includes the two PCGS MS66+s graded. There are just three coins finer. The most recent sale for a PCGS MS66 CAC was the less vibrant example that brought $10,869 in our July 2018 Regency Auction. The current Collectors Universe value is $10,000 and we think this impressive GEM should bring a higher price than the one we sold last summer. Good luck! PCGS# 5603 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ LOT 236 25C 1899-S PCGS MS67 CAC Of the amazing Barber quarters we have had the pleasure of offering over the years, this 99-S is among the most singularly impressive SUPERB GEMS of any date. Boldly lustrous surfaces are aglow with a perfectly preserved brilliance on both sides. The swirling cartwheels radiate on the smooth, flawless surfaces; even using a strong glass we cannot locate a single one. This is a lower mintage date with just 708,000 produced for circulation, and today, just a handful survive in SUPERB GEM condition. PCGS 3, NGC 4, CAC 3. None of the CAC-approved examples have ever sold in auction. A non-CAC coin sold in July 2019 for $5,160 and the current PCGS value is listed at $10,000. It has been a decade since anything finer has sold, making this coin the FINEST available on the market. Good luck! PCGS# 5624 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ 107

LOT 239 25C 1913 PCGS PR68+ CAC Sheer perfection! The SOLE FINEST example in the non-CAM designation, and there are just two PR68+ CAMs graded. Everything about this SUPERB GEM is ultra high end and visually impressive. The technical quality and visual appeal is off the charts! Ultra reflective mirrored fields are bold and flashy.

LOT 240 25C 1916 STANDING LIBERTY. PCGS MS67 FH An outstanding 1916 Standing Liberty quarter. Truly one of the absolute FINEST KNOWN examples of this classic 20th century rarity. Not only is this coin of exceptional technical quality, but the visual allure is AMAZING as well! Both sides are aglow with a bold satiny luster that gleams throughout the surfaces. SUPERB quality surfaces show off a mellow dusting of clear champagne and subtle pewter tone bringing out the sharpness of the details. Both the definition of the devices and the subtle toning are amplified by the vivid brilliance of the mint luster. The strike is as fine as you will ever hope to encounter on a 1916 quarter. Only 52,000 examples were struck in December 1916 as part of the “Renaissance of American Coinage”. The period from 1907 to 1921 saw some of the nations greatest sculptural artists redesign America’s circulating coinage: from St. Gaudens’ Indian and Liberty Striding Forward designs on the $10 and $20 gold coins, to Anthony DiFrancesi’s Peace dollar design, every denomination underwent a makeover during this period. These are some of the most popular, endearing, and beautiful designs ever used on our coins. Herman MacNeil’s Standing Liberty quarter design is truly wonderful, and this is an essentially perfect example for any collector to start his or her set! PCGS 5, NGC 3. There is just a single coin graded finer, a 67+ FH that has not been sold in auction since 2010. The most recent PCGS MS67 FH sold in our May 2018 Regency Auction for $152,750. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $175,000 and since these appear with such infrequency, it is very possible that that level will be exceeded by this AMAZING high grade example. The single finest MS67+ FH sold in November 2010 for nearly $200,000! A true 20th century trophy bound for one of the great collections of Standing quarters and the opportunity should not be missed! PCGS# 5705 | ESTIMATE: $130,000+ 111

LOT 241 25C 1917-D TYPE 1. PCGS MS67 FH CAC What a great looking SUPERB GEM! There is a reason this coin was selected for the greatest type set ever assembled--the Oliver Jung type set. Radiant luster blooms from under a rich blanket of original patina. Bluish-slate, dove-gray, olive-tan, and lilac-rose hues combine throughout the SUPERB GEM quality surfaces. Sharply struck on both sides, all of Liberty’s facial features, drapery lines, and even the brads on the shield are fully and crisply rendered by a forceful, exacting blow from the dies. Extremely high end quality, even for this lofty state of preservation - the surfaces are excessively clean and free of any distracting marks, ticks or anything else. The eye appeal is excellent! PCGS 26, NGC 16, CAC 11. The last one sold in the 2017 FUN auction, realizing $8,813 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $9,000. Just five coins are graded finer at PCGS, and a CAC approved MS67+ FH with a similar look from the Just Having Fun Collection brought $23,000 in the 2012 ANA auction. Worthy of another amazing type set, or a SUPERB example for the date in a high end Standing Liberty quarter set. Bidding should be intense here. PCGS# 5709 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ LOT 242 LOT 243 25C 1917-S TYPE 1. PCGS MS66 FH CAC 25C 1928-S PCGS MS67 CAC An EXEMPLARY, deeply frosted GEM. Nearly flawless surfaces (save WOW, what a beauty!

Stone ORIGINAL with rolling frost over a fully rounded knee rounded knee, more than half the head is present and bold. Even that continues all the way to the rims. Flecks of more intense color the inner shield has more definition than normally encountered on blend with champagne gold to create a lovely backdrop to razor this issue. sharp motifs .

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 272 50C 1855 ARROWS. PCGS MS66 This fabulous GEM 1855 half dollar is tied for FINEST graded and is about as pretty and original as you would ever hope to see! Everything about this magnificent coin is essentially SUPERB! From the flawless, satiny surfaces that have a creamy, frosty mint luster that blooms with a velvety glow on both the obverse and reverse. A frame of multihued iridescent toning graces the obverse, with shades of purple, clear gold, olive-green, pale azure, and russet-tan that encircle the sharply struck up Liberty Seated motif. The reverse has a pale, iridescent toning that is more subtle, but the shades pop as they hit the light. A strong glass reveals only some minor weakness in strike (mostly in the lower right stars), and a couple of ancient lines mingle with the mint made clashing. The eye appeal is exceptional. After the mass inflow of gold from the California gold fields, the ratio of gold and silver in use in commerce made the silver content of coins worth more than the face value. In 1853, the mint reduced the silver weight, the new composition denoted by arrows flanking date and a spray of rays around the eagle. Striking proved difficult and in 1854 the rays were removed from the reverse, though the obverse retained the arrows until the end of 1855. The four PCGS-graded examples are as follows: 1) This coin, ex Heritage, June 2014; 2) the James A. Stack-James Bennett Pryor-Michael Riordan-Malibu-D. Brent Pogue coin; 3) the Gene Gardner coin; and 4) possibly the former NGC MS66+ CAC from the Eric P. Newman Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 5.

The Pogue coin is the most recent example to sell, realizing $37,600 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $37,500. There are NONE finer of this important, short lived type. Worthy of another great type set or specialized Seated Liberty half dollar collection. Be prepared! PCGS# 6281 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 123

LOT 273 50C 1855-O ARROWS. PCGS MS65 CAC What a high end, totally original GEM example of this two year type coin. Boldly lustrous surfaces are bathed in a dove/pewter, olive/ russet, lilac, and gold patina; clearly evidence of long term storage in an old collector envelope. The devices are sharply struck up and have a crisp and full definition. Rich luster blooms in the protected areas of the devices, adding to the exceptional eye appeal on both sides. The surfaces are clean and are high end quality for the assigned grade. Very appealing with a classic, old time collection look! PCGS 20, NGC 19, CAC 13. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $8,100 in the 2018 FUN auction and this one has been off the market for nearly three years, last selling in 2016. Rare any finer, with just 11 graded higher than the present MS65 at PCGS (MS67 finest). A great coin for date or type purposes, and will see very strong bidding from collectors when it crosses the block. PCGS# 6283 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+ LOT 274 50C 1855-S ARROWS. PCGS AU58 CAC If you have been working in an Everyman Registry set of Liberty Seated half dollars you can surely appreciate the rarity of this date and mint in this lofty state of preservation. This coin delivers the quality and ORIGINALITY we all hope for but rarely encounter. Rich pearl gray toning swirls over remarkably well preserved, mark-free fields and is accented by a tinge of lilac. Rich, satiny luster is present throughout. Just a hint of honest rub on the high points keeps this piece from Mint State status. Needle sharp motifs. Most extant specimens grade VF or less, so finding a coin of this caliber is like looking for a needle in a haystack! With just a handful of Mint State specimens available for procurement and their prices exceeding $30,000, this piece is doubly desirable for its affordability and outstanding quality. PCGS 4, NGC 4, CAC 3. This example last sold in our May 2018 sale for $17,625. If you let this AMAZING piece slip through your fingers, you may not get another opportunity! PCGS# 6284 | ESTIMATE: $16,000+ 124

LOT 275 50C 1857 PCGS MS65 Despite a generous mintage of nearly 2 million, very few survive in choice Mint State or finer states of preservation. It is especially RARE in MS65 or higher. This is a fresh, totally original GEM with a warm satiny luster and soft olive, robin’s egg blue, tan, and gold hues suggestive of long time envelope storage. Bluntly struck, there is some weakness to the feather details on the reverse, but the central obverse is bold. Just a few tiny ticks are noted in the fields, which is what we think kept this original coin from getting a CAC bean, and they do not really detract from the strong naked eye appeal. PCGS 9, NGC 11. There are just four coins finer. The last two sold for $3,290 one in August 2017 and the other in August 2016. The current PCGS value is $4,500. There are 2 in 65+ and 2 in 66 finer, but they have been off the market for at least five years, so who knows when you will have the opportunity to bid on another! PCGS# 6290 | ESTIMATE: $3,000+ LOT 276 50C 1879 PCGS MS66 CAC Starting in 1879, the mintages of quarters and half dollars fell to the thousands of pieces. The provisions of Bland-Allison Act demanded that the mint purchase large quantities of silver and coin them into silver dollars, which introduced the Morgan dollar. Only 4,800 Seated Liberty half dollars were coined in 1879. Of that number, a surprising number were saved, and fortunately for collectors, there are a number of Gems available, such as the presently offered coin. High end, its technical quality merits the assigned grade, while the high end eye appeal led to the CAC endorsement. Boldly lustrous with hints of reflection in the fields, both sides have wonderful blues, violets, and light greens that mingle with rose patina. Sharply struck and boldly eye appealing, it will sell for a strong bid. PCGS 47, NGC 28, CAC 12. It has been over three years since the last PCGS/CAC coin sold in auction. The most recent PCGS-graded coin brought $5,405 in February 2017 and the current PCGS value is listed at $5,250. A great example for the date. PCGS# 6361 | ESTIMATE: $4,200+ LOT 277 50C 1888 PCGS MS66+ CAC While the U.S. mints churned out hundreds of millions of Morgan dollars between 1877 and 1889, the branch mints ceased producing any coins other than gold and Morgan dollars, and the main mint at Philadelphia production dropped to miniscule numbers. Indeed the 1888 had a mintage of only 12,001 pieces. Luckily for collectors, many of these were preserved at time of issue and there are a number of Mint State examples. However, as soon as you approach the GEM category, they become quite scarce, and this MS66+ is among the dozen finest graded at PCGS (Population 4; 8 finer, all MS67). The present Premium GEM oozes with a thick satiny mint frost that has a rich creamy texture. A pearly-silver luster blooms on both sides with a delicate halo of golden-russet framing the peripheries. Generally well struck up, the surfaces are clean and devoid of any serious marks that would affect the essentially SUPERB eye appeal. PCGS 24, NGC 15, CAC 15. There are 4 in MS66+, and the ones that have sold in auction have realized between $7,050 and $7,638. The current PCGS value is listed at $9,500. What a great type or date coin for anyone looking for a high end With Motto Seated Liberty half. Good luck! PCGS# 6370 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ 125

LOT 278 50C 1865 PCGS PR66+ CAM A classic American BEAUTY from the AMAZING Oliver Jung Collection. POP 1 for the grade and just a single PR67 CAM is graded higher in the designation! Even with a popular Civil War date, this really is an underappre- ciated, sleeper date in the series that slips by the less observant buyer. Boasting drop dead beautiful album toning which graduates in color from deep, electric blue, magenta and sea foam green to lighter fiery orange and gold hues. Not only is the intensity of the cameo contrast undiminished by the color, it is actually enhanced by it. The contrast is STUNNING and GORGEOUS. One teeny mark away from a PR67 grade! So well struck it looks like it came off the press just yesterday and the rich, frosty luster only adds to the overall aesthetics. FRESH and original and sure to delight the fussiest collector. Just 500 Proofs were struck. PCGS 1, NGC 0. This coin last sold in February 2014 for a very cheap price (we do not understand why). More recently regular PR66 CAMs have brought way more! We sold one in October 2017 for $15,863, and keep in mind the sole PR67 CAM is worth around $35,000! The current Collectors Universe value is $23,500 and iIf you want the quality, originality and eye appeal this piece delivers, we suggest you proffer a hefty bid! PCGS# 86419 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+ LOT 279 50C 1871 PCGS PR65+ CAM CAC This beautiful GEM Proof is an old friend, a coin we sold in May 2016 as part of the Valley Collection, where we described it as: What a beauty-- this is what a GEM PR Seated half dollar should look like! Rich reflective mirrors catch the light and really bring out the rich shades of blue, gold, orange, and amber. The devices are nice and frosty. The mirrored fields are glassy and completely smooth. Only 960 Proofs were struck, and this one is among the finest graded, and among the most eye appealing this cataloger has seen.” PCGS 4, NGC 1, CAC 4. All the PCGS coins are PR65+, and only two are finer in the designation. The last three examples sold between $10,000 and $12,000 (well above the current Collectors Universe value) and neither of the two finer examples have ever traded in auction. We expect this VERY HIGH END GEM to sell for a very strong price when it crosses the block. PCGS# 86429 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ 126

LOT 280 LOT 281 50C 1879 PCGS PR66 CAM CAC 50C 1882 PCGS PR64 CAM CAC A RESPLENDENT GEM with radiant, highly reflective fields This is a totally original, flashy, reflective example, perfect for a highlighting intensely frosted design elements. Save for one or two collector on a budget that wants a great looking example. Watery faint lines, this coin would be a candidate for a + if not a full grade fields have a wonderful flash that beams from below a melange of increase. No guarantees, just our opinion. A mere 1,100 proofs were amber, blue, olive, and gold tones from long term album storage. The coined this year. devices have a moderate contrast against the fields, enough to earn the CAM designation and CAC approval. On a side note, what has happened to all of the blast white Seated half dollars of late? Have you noticed that the lion’s share of PCGS 41, NGC 17, CAC 9. The most recent sold September 2018 for specimens on the market are toned? Better bid strong if you want $1,900 and another sold in the 2018 FUN auction for $1,800. The this BEAUTY! current PCGS value is listed at $1,950. This is a great coin for anyone looking for an affordable Proof Seated half dollar. PCGS 8, NGC 8, CAC 7. The most recent PCGS/CAC example to sell was back in August 2011 - eight long years ago! The current PCGS PCGS# 86443 | ESTIMATE: $1,600+ Price Guide value is listed at $5,250. With just five coins graded finer in the designation at PCGS, this is a real prize for any advanced Proof Seated collector. Good luck! PCGS# 86440 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ LOT 282 50C 1883 PCGS PR66 CAM CAC WOW! Rarely are Proof Seated half dollars toned so vividly! Clearly this SUPERB beauty was stored in an old album and lovingly cared for before being certified. Brilliant silver with clear gold accents are ringed by concentric deep, amber gold and bold cobalt blue at the periphery. The mirrors are deep, beaming, and icy smooth that reflect up on the highly frosted, sharply struck devices. There is a dramatic cameo contrast that is accented by the brilliance of the dramatic toning! The eye appeal is AMAZING! Only 1039 Proofs were struck. PCGS 14, NGC 6, CAC 5. Just a half dozen are graded higher and we highly doubt many have this GEM’s outstanding everything! A coin worthy of a very high bid from the collector who demands the most eye appealing Gem type coins! SUPERB! PCGS# 86444 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ 127

LOT 283 50C 1886 PCGS PR66+ CAC What a wonderfully original GEM! Smooth, shimmering mirrors are evenly covered by a moderate to deeper mix of colors. The mirrors are deep, clean, clear, and offer a strong reflection. Both sides are evenly covered by a deeper mix of navy, teal, purple, and rose-gold colors. You can see the bold flash of the mirrors clearly below the warm melange of patina. This is NOT a drab or dull coin. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and have full strikes. The eye appeal is pleasing! ONLY 886 were minted. PCGS 16, NGC 21, CAC 3. There are just two in PR66+, neither of which have sold in auction. . The most recent PCGS/CAC PR66 to sell in auction brought $3,995 back in March 2015. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,250. RARE finer, with just six coins grading higher at PCGS. This is a great looking coin that should be seen to be fully appreciated. We know bidding will be strong. PCGS# 6447 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ LOT 284 50C 1904 PCGS MS66 CAC We can’t see what we are missing here. The coin looks better than an MS66 (we make NO promises). Immaculate surfaces are satiny smooth and offer not even the smallest tick or problem. We looked really hard over and over using a strong glass. An above average luster beams boldly from all over. Both sides have a moderate and totally original mix of pale olive/deep champagne/ gold colors. This is NOT a dull or drab looking coin. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and stand out. The eye appeal is fantastic! PCGS 5, NGC 4, CAC 4. PCGS has graded only 2 coins higher. The last PCGS MS66 CAC piece to sell in auction brought $15,275 in June 2014. That was FIVE long years ago. That only confirms the rarity of this coin. The current Collectors Universe value is $12,000. Opportunity knocks loud here for any MS Barber Collector. These have been punished so bad over the last few years. Time will bring back the value. PCGS# 6498 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ 128

LOT 285 50C 1904-S PCGS MS65 LRCA is pleased to present this GEM 04-S Barber half dollar. Scarcer than you would think based on the mintage, the 1904-S is a major condition rarity in the Barber half dollar series. This date always attracts lots of attention in Mint State grades, especially as you climb the ladder. One theory we have read is that the major 1906 San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fires were responsible for large numbers of banks, homes, and businesses being destroyed, and along with them, perhaps large quantities of these half dollars. The surfaces are smooth and devoid of all but the most insignificant little ticks that can only be seen with the aid of a powerful loupe. Richly toned, (like most of the higher grade examples that have sold recently) with pastel iridescent hues that gently blanket the obverse and reverse. As you rotate the pearly-lustrous surfaces in a light, the iridescent lilac, blue, gold, rose, and olive-tan hues come out. The color is a little more “speckled” on the reverse. The eye appeal is very unique and lovely. PCGS 5, NGC 2. An example brought $43,500 in an October 2015 internet-only auction, and this coin was offered in our September 2018 Regency Auction, where it brought $29,275. Even a non-CAC NGC coin brought nearly $30,000 back in 2012. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $40,000. Keep in mind only five PCGS coins are finer, (valued at $72,500 in 66 and $105,000 in 67). Worthy of a very special set of Mint State Barber halves, this one will see lots of bidding activity before the gavel falls. PCGS# 6500 | ESTIMATE: $28,000+ 129

LOT 286 50C 1908-O PCGS MS66 This is a PQ GEM! Boasting needle sharp design details, which is very rare for this notoriously weakly struck New Orleans issue. Take a look, you really do appreciate the boldness of the devices. A booming mint bloom gleams with a thick, frosty luster. A halo of apricot toning adds to the aesthetic appeal and attests to the superb originality of this GEM. PCGS 19, NGC 9. The current PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $3,650 and the most recent example to sell in auction brought $2,640 in February 2019. With 18 coins graded finer, this date is a great one for picky type collectors. PCGS# 6514 | ESTIMATE: $2,500+ LOT 287 50C 1915-S PCGS MS65+ CAC Barber enthusiasts unite! Here is a wonderful opportunity to obtain a cherry 1915-S! This pearlescent, satinlike GEM, with snowy white fields accenting needle sharp motifs, is worthy of careful consideration and a premium bid. A couple of random marks are all that keep this piece from an MS66 grade. PCGS 57, NGC 43, CAC 19. Only four have graded MS65+, and this coin last sold at auction in June 2017 for $1,880; more recently we sold a MS65 (no +) for $2,820 in May 2019. In 65+ the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $2,250. For the Set Registry collectors, take note that only 14 are graded higher at PCGS! This lovely GEM will see strong bidding for sure. PCGS# 6534 | ESTIMATE: $1,700+ LOT 288 50C 1916 PCGS MS65+ CAC A high end, Premium Quality GEM that oozes with satiny mint frost. Fully brilliant with just a touch of the lightest iridescence. The fully struck devices stand out with a bold definition to the intricate details of Adolph Weinman’s classic and elegant design. The majority of Liberty’s gown lines are fully separated; and her thumb is mostly visible. A dusting of the palest gold iridescent tone can be seen on both sides. The eye appeal is exceptional in every way. PCGS 276, NGC 151, CAC 49. There are 5 in 65+ at PCGS. This is the only one to have ever sold, realizing $4,530 in March 2018 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,150.

LOT 289 50C 1916 PCGS MS66+ CAC This is an awesome, jaw dropping borderline SUPERB GEM. The surfaces are smooth and have an intensely satiny luster, which gleams all over.

The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $9,500. Keep in mind that any PCGS MS67 will be a $30,000+ coin! This SUPERB coin is worthy of inclusion in a very high ranked set and should bring considerable bidding. Good luck! PCGS# 6566 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ LOT 290 50C 1916-S PCGS MS65+ CAC Talk about total originality! The eye appeal is exceptional in every way. For the date, this PQ GEM has a bold strike with essentially full hand outline and bold drapery lines. The surfaces border on full MS66 quality, the naked eye reveals zero imperfections, and only with a glass can you see a single mark on Liberty’s leg. A dusting of blue/grey tone really adds to the visual and attests to the wonderful originality of this impressive early date Walker. PCGS 131, NGC 66, CAC 29. There are five coins in 65+ and just 15 graded finer. The most recent example realized $7,800 in April 2018 and prior to that, one sold for $10,575 in the 2017 ANA auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $9,500. EXTREMELY RARE any finer! Keep in mind that a PCGS/CAC MS66 will cost $35,000-$40,000.

LOT 291 50C 1920-D PCGS MS64 CAC A scarcer date in all grades, the 20-D is conditionally very scarce in MS64 and pretty rare any finer. Satiny and brilliant! A strong luster glows and radiates boldly throughout on both obverse and reverse. This date is notoriously weakly struck in the central areas of the design, and this one is no different; there is a bluntness to Liberty’s thigh, hand, and the eagle’s leg. All the other details are sharply impressed. A pale white iridescence is lightly dusted on the left obverse field, accented by the shimmering, satiny mint frost. The eye appeal is very nice. PCGS 127, NGC 75, CAC 18. The most recent example sold for $7,800 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,500. These become cost prohibitive to most collectors in MS65, as the last PCGS/CAC example realized $27,025 in our September 2018 Regency Auction. A coin like this will see strong bidding from the Walking Liberty specialist! PCGS# 6581 | ESTIMATE: $6,500+ LOT 292 50C 1920-S PCGS MS64+ CAC An exceptionally frosty brilliant near-GEM example of this conditionally rare date. A bold, satiny mint brilliance glows on the high end, smooth surfaces. The devices show the characteristic weak strike in the central devices. The eye appeal is accented by the intensity of the untoned silver brilliance. While the mintage was fairly generous at 4,624,000, these disappeared into circulation and the 20-S is among the rarest dates in the entire series in Mint State. PCGS 187, NGC 102, CAC 26. There are 18 in MS64+ and LRCA has had the pleasure of selling the two most recent examples: realizing $10,281 in September 2018 and one selling for $6,169 in November 2018. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $7,500. RARE any finer, this is a great coin for any advanced collector and will find itself at home in a GEM set! PCGS# 6582 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ 132

LOT 293 50C 1921-D PCGS MS64 CAC This is a very pleasing example of this RARE date, offering a very high end CHOICE Mint State look! A highly frosted, pearlescent mint luster blooms with a vibrant, billowing vivacity in the fields. The strike is crisp and full with complete details (even the thumb is totally outlined). A delicate, pearly-gold iridescent tone graces both the obverse and reverse, accenting the smooth, problem free surfaces. The eye appeal is wonderful, and this near-GEM quality coin is worthy of its accolades from PCGS and CAC. Following the wartime boom of 1917-1918, the economy slowed and fell into a deep recession. By 1921, demand for circulating coinage dropped drastically and coupled with the provisions of the 1918 Pittman Act that called for millions of new Morgan dollars to be produced. The result was that the Denver mint produced only 208,000 half dollars, most of which disappeared into circulation - the typical survivor is in VF or lower grade; it is a conditionally rare issue in any Mint State grade. PCGS 99, NGC 84, CAC 22. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $18,500 and the most recent PCGS/CAC coin to sell in auction realized $15,275 in our September 2018 Regency Auction. A real prize for any collector. Keep in mind that there hasn’t been a PCGS MS65 CAC sold in auction in three years and that coin brought $37,600! This coin has a bold, original high end look that will fit into any high end collection! PCGS# 6584 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+ LOT 294 50C 1927-S PCGS MS65 A satiny GEM example of this conditionally rare early Walker date. Scarce in MS65 and very RARE finer, this old holdered coin has a shimmering satiny luster that glows in the fields. The luster is bold throughout the smooth, sheer fields amplifying the pleasing light gold peripheral toning. Bluntly struck, showing the typical weakness in the central areas, but the eye appeal is high end. PCGS 77, NGC 37. The most recent non-CAC example to sell in auction realized $6,600 in February 2019 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $9,500. Worthy of a premium bid for its strong visual allure and originality. RARE any finer and commanding close to five figures, this is a great GEM for the collector. PCGS# 6587 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ 133

LOT 295 50C 1933-S PCGS MS67 WOW! This 33-S looks about as brilliant and vibrant as the day it was struck. Indeed, were it not for a teeny bag mark on the eagle’s wing, we would have thought this SUPERB GEM was just removed off the dies. Shimmering, satiny mint luster radiates from all over. The sharply struck devices stand out with full, complete details. All the lines in Liberty’s drapery and flag are separated and the thumb is fully outlined. Totally untoned, this coin is simply beautiful in all regards. PCGS 16, NGC 5.
