LOT 439 $1 1921 PEACE. HIGH RELIEF. PCGS MS65+ CAC A lovely GEM example of the first year of the Peace dollar series. Lustrous, pearly silver surfaces surround the high relief definition of the original design. Some slight weakness at the centers, typical of the vast majority of Mint State examples is noted for accuracy, as are some minor scuffs that can only be detected with a glass. The naked eye appeal is high end, evidenced by the CAC bean of approval. PCGS 1550, NGC 1235, CAC 259. The most recetne example to sell in auction brought $3,290 in our June 2019 Regency Auction and prior to that, we sold one for $2,970 in our September 2018 Premier Session. The current PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $3,250 and keep in mind that a PCGS MS66 CAC will cost $14,000-$19,000 range. Good luck! PCGS# 7356 | ESTIMATE: $2,400+ LOT 440 $1 1922-D PCGS MS66+ CAC For a 22-D, this coin has it all! The eye appeal is stunning! Not only that, but there are just three coins graded finer at PCGS, giving this majestic GEM an additional check mark in its column of positive attributes. A thick, frosty luster blooms with a vibrance that is not usually seen on this date. Each detail is sharply struck up, showing full, crisp definition on both sides. Struck from a late die state with dramatic obverse die cracks crossing the truncation of Liberty’s bust and from Y through her bun. A few scattered traces of contact are seen with a strong glass, but none are singularly distracting to the eye. A pale dusting of iridescent toning adds to the impressive visual allure. PCGS 262, NGC 244, CAC 95. PCGS has graded 28 in MS66+ and just three finer (all MS67). This exceptional coin is also among the highest approved by CAC (no PCGS or NGC MS67 has ever beaned). The most recent example sold for $6,600 in March 2019 and prior to that, one sold in the 2019 FUN auction for $7,200. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,500 and keep in mind that the most recent MS67 sold for $90,000 in the 2018 ANA auction. This high end example seems like a great value in comparison! Bound for a great Peace dollar set! PCGS# 77358 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ LOT 441 $1 1922-S PCGS MS65 CAC A superior quality MS65. A beaming, brilliant, blazing silver mint luster glows with a white hot intensity on the obverse. Sharply struck up devices and generally very clean surfaces add to the outstanding visual allure. PCGS 444, NGC 252, CAC 128. EVERY CAC-approved example has sold for a price well in excess of the current PCGS Price Guide value of $1,300; the most recent brought $4,080 in June 2019 (an outlier, as most have sold in the $1,500 to $2,300 range). This beautifully lustrous GEM will delight any collector, and keep in mind this date is very scarce any finer. PCGS# 7359 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+ 199

LOT 442 $1 1922-S PCGS MS66 This is a very high end 22-S dollar, a prime condition rarity in the Peace dollar series. Nearly 17.5 million silver dollars fell from the dies, the vast majority survive in lower Mint State grades. In Gem it is scarce, and extremely RARE in so high a grade, that indeed, PCGS has graded just 15 in MS66 and a single MS66+ after 33 years of operations. That fact clearly shows just how difficult this date is to find. A strong, vivid brilliance graces both sides of this GEM. The luster radiates in swirling bands accenting the sharply struck devices and satiny smooth surfaces. The devices are crisply rendered by an exacting blow from the dies. Although we note some pale iridescence, we consider this GEM to fit nicely into an untoned set. This coin is well suited for any high ranked Regency collection. PCGS 15, NGC 16. We sold the most recent non-CAC coin in our June 2019 Regency Auction for $30,550, and prior to that, the last non-CAC coin sold in the 2017 FUN auction for $32,900. Collectors Universe’s Price Guide lists a value of $40,000 in MS66 and the sole MS66+ has never sold in auction, making this one of the FINEST available to advanced set collectors. Bid accordingly! PCGS# 7359 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 200

LOT 443 $1 1923-S PCGS MS65+ CAC Rarely found in GEM grade, the 23-S is a major condition rarity. Although plentiful in terms of strict mintage figures, tracking down a GEM example becomes a monumental challenge because of the weak strikes associated with the date. Eye popping, cartwheel luster splashes over satiny surfaces. Graced by honey gold toning highlights, just enough to lend to the originality of the piece. Not to be overlooked is the rich frost gracing the fields and design elements, which by the way are keenly defined. A couple of breaks in the luster are noted on the cheek and a few light tick marks can be seen under magnification on the eagle. PCGS 176, NGC 80, CAC 15. There are only six graded MS65+ and a mere 2 graded finer! CAC is king when it comes to this date. Only 15 pieces have received the coveted CAC sticker out of 256 coins grading 65 or 65+. The sole MS65+ graded by PCGS to sell in auction realized $26,400 in March 2019. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $28,500. EXCESSIVELY RARE in higher grade, just one MS66 has ever sold in auction, way back in April 2011. This is a truly fantastic GEM worthy of any high end set! PCGS# 7362 | ESTIMATE: $22,000+ 201

LOT 444 LOT 445 $1 1924 PCGS MS66+ CAC $1 1924-S PCGS MS64+ CAC What a great looking coin. For the grade, the eye appeal is High end and satiny for the grade. This is a tough date to find nice, spectacular! Sharply struck devices stand out against the highly and this one is very much so for the assigned grade. Well struck and lustrous surfaces. Totally original with a soft dusting of gold patina very pleasing surfaces are enhanced by a bold luster. Generally clean that enhances the eye appeal. and a borderline GEM quality example. PCGS 904, NGC 1411, CAC 321. There are 85 graded 66+. We sold PCGS 1557, NGC 929 CAC 224. There are 158 graded MS64+ at the most recent example in June 2019 for $1,175 and the current PCGS and just 114 graded higher so we certainly suspect lots of PCGS Price Guide value is listed at only $950. We think this one duplicate submissions looking for that RARE MS65 grade. The recent should bring more. Good luck! APRs in MS64+ CAC have ranged from $1,469 to $2,640 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,200. Just keep in mind PCGS# 7363 | ESTIMATE: $1,000+ any CAC-approved MS65 is going to be a five-figure coin! This coin looks like a great value in comparison! PCGS# 7364 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+ LOT 446 LOT 447 $1 1924-S PCGS MS65 $1 1925-S PCGS MS64+ CAC A lovely GEM! 1924-S Peace dollars do not typically come fresh The 25-S is a condition rarity in the Peace dollar series, with anything and frosty, but this coin is seriously above average. It has super finer being VERY RARE. Brilliant mint luster blooms with a strong clean, satiny smooth surfaces and a surprisingly full booming luster, vibrance on both sides. A few minor marks and breaks in the frost are as well as very light hints of gold. Miss Liberty and the details are all that keeps this exceptional coin from a full GEM designation. The frosted and sharply struck. While some minor traces of contact are details have a full definition and boldness of strike. noted, we are not sure why CAC did not approve this one, the eye appeal is very pleasing for the grade. PCGS 2439, NGC 1701, CAC 322. PCGS has graded 257 examples in MS64+, clearly with only 44 graded in MS65, we can assume PCGS 99, NGC 74. This date is VERY RARE any finer. The most recent that there is plenty of duplication in the population figures. Today example to sell brought $4,348 in our May 2019 Regency Auction, the current PCGS value is $1,100, and the most recent example sold but this one boasts a more brilliant luster. The current Collectors in June 2019 for $1,293. Keep in mind we sold the last MS65 for Universe value is listed at $6,250. Only 15 are graded finer at PCGS, $36,425 in our May 2019 Regency Auction, a record! This lustrous this is a real prize for any GEM Peace dollar collector! near-GEM is truly worthy of a strong bid!

LOT 448 $1 1926-D PCGS MS66 CAC This is the former Crow River Collection coin that we sold in May 2018, and it was described as: We think this coin is worthy of + (no guarantee). We can’t imagine a much nicer piece! Terrific surfaces have no flaws visible to the naked eye. In fact, there are no flaws visible when using a strong glass. The surfaces have a silky smooth texture. A full booming luster can be seen from feet away and both sides are a silvery white. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty an dare sharply struck. The eye appeal is great! PCGS 277, NGC 103, CAC 97. This GEM sold for $3,408 in our May 2018 Regency Auction on a $2,000-$2,200 estimate. Other examples have sold in the $1,600-$6,750 range! Again this GEM will bring a strong price when it crosses the block! Good luck! PCGS# 7368 | ESTIMATE: $2,800+ LOT 449 $1 1926-D PCGS MS66+ CAC A beautifully preserved, exceptionally high end quality GEM! An amazing looking and sharply struck 26-D that ranks high on the roster of graded coins. A few tiny contact marks are noted, the worst of which are hidden within the eagle’s feathers and they do not detract from the outstanding visual allure. An impressive die crack crosses the truncation of the bust, through the top of the R in TRVST and ends in the field below the flowing tresses of Liberty’s hair behind her head. Every detail is fully delineated with a wonderful, frosty white texture on both sides. The surfaces are exceptionally high end and the eye appeal is top notch! PCGS 297, NGC 105, CAC 96. There are 22 in MS66+ at PCGS, and just 8 coins finer. The most recent example sold in our May 2019 Regency Auction for $14,100 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,500. Keep in mind no MS67 has sold in four years, when a PCGS MS67 CAC sold for a record $47,000! This PQ GEM is worthy of any high end Peace dollar set! PCGS# 7368 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ 203

LOT 450 $1 1926-S PCGS MS66+ CAC While nearly 7 million 1926-S Peace dollars fell from the dies, most of these went right into circulation, where they would remain for ages. The vast majority of Mint State examples fall in at MS64 or lower. In MS66 this is a rarity, and is excessively RARE in 66+ or finer. This is one of the absolute FINEST example of this major condition rarity we have ever hand the pleasure of seeing. Considering the Peace dollar collections that we have recently sold had only MS66s (Crow River, Issaquah, and Hickory Ridge), this magnificent SUPERB GEM is the FINEST we have had the pleasure of selling and is topped by just two MS67s. Extremely brilliant surfaces are ablaze with a white hot, swirling mint luster. The vivid brilliance is about as vibrant and bold as you will ever see on a 26-S. Liberty’s hair strands are razor sharp in definition, as are all of the feathers on the eagle’s wings. The surfaces are essentially pristine, with zero visible flaws to be seen anywhere, even under the most careful examination with a strong glass. The present 26-S is truly a divine survivor, a gift from the numismatic heavens for the collector who demands both exceptional grade and visual allure. PCGS 108, NGC 36, CAC 18. There are just THREE graded MS66+ and a mere two finer, both MS67. While no MS66+ has ever sold in a major auction, there was one in an internet auction in April 2019 that brought over $28,000. The most only MS67 sold back in 2011 for $32,200. Today’s PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $28,500 and we suspect with the exceptionally strong demand seen for 20th century condition rarities, this coin will be bid to a record price! This will be a highlight of whatever set it graces, good luck! PCGS# 7369 | ESTIMATE: $22,000+ 204

LOT 451 $1 1927 PCGS MS66 One of the FINEST graded examples of this lower mintage date and a real prize for the Registry Set collector looking to upgrade this date in their collection. Intense, brilliant cartwheel luster radiates boldly across the GEM quality surfaces. Sharply struck devices stand out with full definition on both sides. Nary a mark can be found, even using a strong glass, that has any impact on this wonderfully high end coin’s eye appeal. Essentially blast white, this wonderful 1927 dollar has a mint fresh eye appeal, worthy of the finest of collections. PCGS 19, NGC 2. The most recent example sold in March 2019 for $22,800 and prior to that, one sold for a record $36,000 in the 2018 ANA auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $32,500. NONE are graded finer, making this a prime candidate for a top ranking PCGS Registry Set. Be prepared to place a very strong bid to bring this one home! PCGS# 7370 | ESTIMATE: $22,000+ 205

This visually lovely two earlier this year for $5,758 and $7,931). A coin that will delight near GEM will bring a strong bid. any collector of high end for the grade Peace dollars. PCGS# 7374 | ESTIMATE: $1,250+ PCGS# 7373 | ESTIMATE: $1,300+ LOT 454 $1 1934 PCGS MS66+ CAC Exceptionally high end quality! A bold and brilliant luster beams all over accenting the palest of iridescent, clear gold overtones. The mint brilliance really brings out the definition of the sharply struck devices. Even under a strong magnification, we are unable to find any serious marks or ticks of any kind. The eye appeal is high end in every way. In all, this is a very pretty, SUPERB GEM 1934 dollar. If you are looking for a high end example for your set, your search can end here. PCGS 239, NGC 40, CAC 72. PCGS has graded 41 in MS66+ and just 6 finer. The last three examples have sold in the $5,875 to $6,600 range and the current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $8,000. Keep in mind that the only PCGS graded MS67 to ever sell in auction crossed the six figure mark in the 2018 ANA auction, making a high end MS66+ like this a VERY attractive value for the advanced Peace dollar collector! We know there will be intense bidding for this impressive beauty! PCGS# 7375 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ 206

LOT 455 $1 1934-D PCGS MS66+ CAC Clearly this is a very special 34-D Peace dollar. We have inspected this coin closely with a strong glass, rotating its lustrous surfaces in a light and it is totally worthy of its place near the apex of the PCGS Population Report. AMAZING, bold radial luster swirls on both sides of this premium quality GEM. The icy silver surfaces are booming with a stunning, rolling cartwheel brilliance. The eye appeal is truly high end for this late date, boasting a crisp strike and very clean surfaces. PCGS 119, NGC 27, CAC 22. PCGS has graded just 10 coins in MS66+ and a mere 2 finer. The last CAC-approved example to sell in auction was back in June 2013 for $22,325--that is AGES ago! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $26,500. Two are finer, but none have sold in over a decade (the MS67 sold in April 2009 for $86,250!). This CAC-approved MS66+ is very high end and SUPERB and worthy of a GREAT Peace dollar collection! PCGS# 7376 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 207

LOT 456 $1 1935 PCGS MS66+ CAC Tied for the FINEST graded by PCGS, this impressive, borderline SUPERB GEM is a true delight to behold! This is a coin worthy of placement in any high end Peace dollar set. Sharply struck up details stand out against brilliantly lustrous and satiny smooth fields. Both sides exhibit extremely clean surfaces that are essentially devoid of any noticeable contact of any kind. Hints of light iridescent tone can be seen on both sides, but it would fit in nicely in any untoned GEMS! PCGS 344, NGC 74, CAC 120. There are 74 graded MS66+ at PCGS, and NONE are graded finer at that service! We sold the last two PCGS/CAC examples, one bringing $5,875 in June 2019 and the other $8,225 in March 2019. The Collectors Universe value of $7,000 is right in the middle of those two APRs, and we suspect this beauty will see spirited bidding for sure! PCGS# 7378 | ESTIMATE: $5,250+ LOT 457 $1 1935-S PCGS MS65 CAC A vivid mint luster glows brilliantly under a layer of golden-olive patina that graces the entire surface of the obverse.

The eye appeal is unique on this final year of issue Peace dollar. PCGS 810, NGC 390, CAC 179. Going back to 2010, the average price for PCGS/CAC examples in MS65 is $1,534. This fantastic GEM will fit nicely into a toned set. PCGS# 7379 | ESTIMATE: $800+ LOT 458 $1 1935-S PCGS MS66+ CAC A totally original, beautiful, and high end 35-S dollar. This is the last issue of the Peace dollar series, and this coin is among the highest two dozen PCGS graded examples. Sharply struck up devices stand out against the smooth, pleasing, problem free surfaces. Radiant, satiny mint frost blooms on both sides accenting the delicate, totally original pale iridescent hues. The eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 212, NGC 65, CAC 62. PCGS has graded just 21 in MS66+ and 3 finer. The most recent PCGS/CAC example to sell in auction was back in June 2016, realizing $10,575. Since then, a non-CAC example brought $10,800 in the 2019 FUN auction. This high end example should bring around the current PCGS value of $12,000, or more. None of the 3 MS67s have ever sold in auction, and would likely cost $30,000+ if one came out. Good luck! PCGS# 7379 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ 208

LOT 459 G$1 1849-O PCGS MS64+ CAC Among the top dozen examples graded by PCGS, this is is a gorgeous example of this first year of gold dollars struck at the New Orleans mint. A sharply struck jewel has thickly frosted devices that stand out against the lustrous, brilliant surfaces. Every detail is fully delineated and this beauty would qualify for a GEM grade were it not for a tiny break in the frost. The eye appeal is exceptionally and remarkably high end. PCGS 25, NGC 29, CAC 11. PCGS has graded 2 in MS64+, the other one sold in the 2014 ANA auction for $7,520. VERY RARE any finer, there are 7 in MS65 and 2 in MS65+ finer at PCGS. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,750, which jumps to $16,500 in MS65. An important opportunity for any collector of gold dollars, New Orleans mint gold, or anyone looking for a neat gold dollar for a type set. Good luck! PCGS# 7508 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+ LOT 460 G$1 1855-C PCGS AU55 CAC An incredibly RARE and attractive Charlotte mint gold dollar, the only year issued by the Charlotte branch mint, and is one of the rarest of all gold dollar issues, especially in high grade. According to David Akers’s monumental research, the average grade for the date was VF-27 in his analysis of auction records. More recently scholars note that the date is usually encountered in VF and XF grades, with AU55s being VERY RARE, extremely so any finer, with maybe five in Mint State grades. The low mintage of 9,803 is just a part of this coin’s story. The other part is just how poorly the majority of this issue was produced. The planchets were very poorly produced with major flaws or planchet roughness. Aside from this, the new planchet sizes, which were increased from 12.7mm to 14.3mm made the blanks thinner. The dies were engraved too deeply to bring out all the details with the thinner planchet stock. Despite the flawed planchet, the strike is bold throughout, keenly impressed by deeply clashed dies. The color is a warm, orange gold with soft olive-green accents throughout. The poor planchet quality, in this cataloger’s eye, does not detract from the grade or eye appeal, and actually makes this rarity quite charming and a delight to behold and contemplate. The surfaces show a soft satin luster under the toning that adds to the great visual appeal. PCGS 13, NGC 38, CAC 3. The most recent PCGS/CAC example to sell in auction realized $17,684 in April 2017. TRULY a major rarity any finer, there are fewer than a dozen currently graded higher, the finest graded at PCGS are a trio at MS61. It is also important to note that NO Mint State coin has ever been beaned by CAC. This important gold rarity is destined for inclusion in a great cabinet of Charlotte mint coins, not to mention an important opportunity for the advanced collector of any branch mint gold or gold dollars. PCGS# 7533 | ESTIMATE: $12,500+ 209

LOT 461 G$1 1889 PCGS MS67+ CAC Representing the last year of the denomination, a good number of the 28,950 struck were fortunately saved for posterity, allowing for even SUPERB GEM pieces like this one to be affordable for most serious collectors. Virtually perfect surfaces are a delight to behold. Even using a strong glass you will find NO flaws. The luster is moderate and frosty accenting totally original shades of wheat gold color. Miss Liberty and every detail are sharply struck. PCGS 280, NGC 192, NGC 93. There are 23 graded 67+ at PCGS and only 10 have graded finer. The most recent example to sell realized $3,408 in our June 2019 Regency Auction and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $3,750. Keeping in mind that a PCGS/CAC MS68 would cost well over $10,000, this is a great example for any type or date collector. We can see this bringing a strong price. PCGS# 7590 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+ LOT 462 $2.50 1840-O PCGS AU58 CAC The first year of issue of Christian Gobrecht’s Coronet Liberty Head design saw a mintage of 33,580. Two die varieties were used to strike this limited mintage, this is the Small Mintmark or Variety 2, which is much scarcer than the Large Mintmark variety, especially in such a lofty state of preservation. Of both varieties, Doug Winter (2018) estimates that 125-175 exist in all grades. Only the lightest traces of friction can be detected on both sides of this pleasing, high end AU example. Displaying the typical strike for a Small Mintmark, the peripheral details are very well struck, and the central devices show just some slight softness on the highest most parts of the design. Pleasing, rich orange gold toning graces both sides the lovely color is accented by a satiny mint frost. A great example for the specialist collector. PCGS 14, NGC 25, CAC 9. This is the only PCGS/CAC example to ever sell in auction, realizing $8,400 in the 2018 FUN auction. RARE any finer, this coin brought more than a non-CAC PCGS MS61 Large Mintmark in the 2015 ANA auction. What a great opportunity for the advanced collector! Good luck. PCGS# 7720 | ESTIMATE: $6,500+ 210

LOT 463 $2.50 1893 PCGS MS67+ CAC No question this is the FINEST 1893 $2.5 graded. This coin is just incredible. We believe this coin left the bank and was NEVER touched for 126 years! Remarkable surfaces are flawless. They easily survive the powerful glass test. The texture is satiny smooth. A bold glowing luster beams from all over. Both sides are a totally original yellow gold color with hints of pinkish gold. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and fully struck. The eye appeal is boldly impressive! PCGS 3, NGC 4, CAC 2. This is the lone MS67+ graded. There are NO coins graded higher. This coin last sold in auction for $22,000 in April 2018. The owner of the coin is shifting his collecting direction. We are thrilled he chose us to sell his beloved rarity. Wildly better PCGS CAC gold like this is impossible to find these days. Opportunity knocks loud here! PCGS# 7845 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 211

LOT 464 $2.50 1895 PCGS MS67 LRCA is proud to offer this SOLE FINEST graded 1895 quarter eagle. The mintage was small to start with just 6,000 struck for circulation. While most survivors are in Mint State, it is has always been considered RARE in GEM grades. Aside from a couple of microscopic stray marks, this fully frosted SUPERB GEM is pristine. Sharply struck and offering a wonderful eye appeal with bold orange-peach accents on the bold yellow-gold surfaces. A real prize for anyone seeking a very high end example for their set of late date quarter eagles. PCGS 1, NGC 4. This coin does not appear to have been sold in auction. We sold an old green tag MS66 CAC for $10,281 in our October 2017 sale of the D.W. Collection. Unpriced in the Collectors Universe Price Guide, our estimate will likely prove to be conservative when the hammer falls. Good luck! PCGS# 7847 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+ LOT 465 $2.50 1896 PCGS MS67 CAC This is a SUPERB GEM masterpiece. If you seek the finest, then you certainly need to seek this coin! Incredible surfaces are really FLAWLESS. We did look this coin over hard with a strong glass. We found not even anything microscopic to comment about. The surface texture is satiny. An above average but glowing luster is all over. Both sides are evenly drenched in an original sunset gold/pale pinkish gold coloration. There are no discolorations. There is a tiny toning dot on the lower reverse rim. Miss Liberty and every detail are frosted and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is awesome! PCGS 11, NGC 7, CAC 6. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $9,900 in January 2018. Prior to that, none had ever sold via auction. The current Collectors Universe value is $11,000. We doubt you will ever see a better 1896. This coin belongs in the very best Type or $2.5 collection. It is amazing! PCGS# 7848 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+ 212

The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $1,100 and this one should bring well in excess of that! Good luck! PCGS 14, NGC 30.

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 468 $2.50 1883 PCGS PR66+ DCAM CAC Truly a delight to behold! What a stunning example of this extremely rare date! Of the 82 Proofs originally minted, perhaps 30-35 are known in all grades, the present SUPERB GEM is the SINGLE FINEST graded at PCGS in the DCAM designation. Ultra deep mirrors have stunning clarity, cleanliness, and reflection that are amazing. Brilliant yellow gold frostiness of the razor sharp devices contrasts off the deep, blackness of the fields. The contrast is bold and dramatic. The surfaces are free of anything but the most insignificant line or two, mostly hidden in the orange peal texture of the fields. An amazing GEM coin bound for the finest of sets. Only 82 were struck. PCGS 4, NGC 2, CAC 4. We sold a PCGS PR66 DCAM CAC in our Regency Auction VI in February 2014 for $41,125. That coin is the second highest graded among all designations (a 67 CAM is numerically finer). Unpriced in the current PCGS Price Guide, a PR66 DCAM is listed at $50,000. A coin like this is always going to command fierce bidding competition and it would not shock us if this SUPERB GEM shattered the all time record. PCGS# 97909 | ESTIMATE: $40,000+ 214

LOT 469 $2.50 1894 PCGS PR66+ DCAM CAC A glorious bit of numismatic caviar for the advanced collector, this SUPERB GEM has to be one of the FINEST KNOWN, exceptionally well preserved survivor from an original mintage of just 122 pieces. The mirrors are seemingly endless in their dramatic depth! The reflectivity is blinding, with exceptional clarity and cleanliness that dazzles the eye. Rippling, orange peal texture in the field is a delight to behold. Rich golden-yellow-orange color attests to this beauty’s unconserved, totally original allure. Indeed, only a few mint made planchet flakes are noted with the aid of a very powerful glass. Essentially perfect in every way, the eye appeal really is amazing! Of the 122 Proofs originally struck, John Dannreuther suggests that perhaps 60-70 are known in all grades, including the Mint Cabinet coin that is impounded in the Smithsonian; the Anderson-Dupont- Josiah Lily coin that is also impounded there, and the J. Colvin Randall-J.P. Morgan example that has been in the ANS collection in New York since 1908. This coin would rank in the top five examples listed in his “significant examples.” Adding to the allure of the 1894 Proof quarter eagle is the rarity of the circulation strike coins, of which only 4,000 were minted. PCGS 5, NGC 8, CAC 5. This is the SOLE PR66+ DCAM at PCGS, and has not been sold in auction. Indeed no CAC Approved PR66 DCAM has ever sold in auction either. We sold a PCGS PR67 DCAM CAC that in our November 2018 Regency Auction for $44,650. PCGS lists a value of $31,000 in 66+ DCAM and we anticipate this one selling more than that when the hammer finally falls on this SUPERB GEM! What a great coin in every possible manner! PCGS# 97920 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 215

LOT 470 $2.50 1895 PCGS PR65 DCAM This is a stunning GEM DCAM Proof 1895 quarter eagle! The fantastic depth of the reflectivity in the fields contrast against the highly frosted devices and display the familiar orange peel texture when studied with a glass. Considerable frost resides on the razor sharp devices, and in particular on Miss Liberty’s face and neck which stand out with dramatic contrast. There is a wire rim around much of the obverse. To offer this extreme depth of Cameo contrast, this must have been one of the first of the 119 pieces struck this year in the proof format. There is a tiny mint made planchet flake in the left obverse field which we note for disclosure and it does not affect the overall GEM eye appeal. John Dannreuther lists a single pair of dies used to coin the 119 Proofs struck with perhaps 60-70 known in all grades, including the ones impounded in the Smithsonian, ANS, and other institutional collections. PCGS 3, NGC 4. There is a record from our May 2019 Regency at $21,738 and prior to that, an NGC PR65 UCAM sold in February 2019 for $19,800 and the last PR66 DCAM sold in 2012 for $29,900. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $24,500. Add this lovely GEM to your collection of Proof gold! PCGS# 97921 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 216

LOT 471 $2.50 1897 PCGS PR66 DCAM CAC Simply put, this is is a STUNNING Proof Liberty quarter eagle! Everything about it screams eye appeal and premium quality. Of the 136 Proofs produced, perhaps 70-80 survive today in all grades. The presently offered SUPERB GEM is housed in an older generation blue tag holder and is totally original. Deep, beaming mirrors blaze with a bold depth of clarity that can be seen from across the room. Rich orange-gold coloration attests to the exceptional fresh, unconserved surfaces. The devices are razor sharp with a thick frost on both sides. The orange peal texture is quite strong with the fields looking like a rippling pond. The eye appeal is amazing. PCGS 4, NGC 7, CAC 8. There has not been a CAC-approved example sold in eight years--last selling for $28,750 in the 2011 ANA auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $27,500 and that seem too low in light of the true rarity of PCGS-graded examples. While PCGS lists 10 graded higher in the designation, only one has ever sold in auction (in May 2009 a PR67 DCAM CAC sold for $37,375). This is a very rare and important opportunity for any gold bug looking for a great Proof gold type coin. Good luck! PCGS# 97923 | ESTIMATE: $25,000+ 217

LOT 472 $2.50 1908 PCGS MS65 CAC A wonderful, GEM quality example of the first year of this popular series. Rich ORIGINAL golden color with coppery-amber accents is brought to life with a bold underlying luster. The strike is strong throughout, and the look is great on this one! PCGS 577, NGC 361, CAC 124. The two most recent PCGS/ CAC MS65 sold in July 2019; one for $2,128 and the other for $2,640. The PCGS value is listed at $2,250. With premiums so low, PCGS/CAC coins are extremely hard to find on the market today. Here is a great start to a GEM set of Indian Head quarter eagles. PCGS# 7939 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+ LOT 473 $2.50 1909 PCGS MS65 CAC A beautiful and totally original high end GEM. Rich golden surfaces accentuate a strong, sharp strike and brilliant lustrous surfaces show hints of a desirable two tone look. PCGS 224, NGC 188, CAC 45. The most recent one to sell realized $4,201 in a July 2019 auction, and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $3,850. This is a great looking GEM and bound for any high end Indian Head quarter eagle set. PCGS# 7940 | ESTIMATE: $3,600+ LOT 474 $3 1878 PCGS MS64 CAC One of the more common dates in this series, which makes this near-GEM a perfect example for type set purposes. A shimmering satiny mint frost glows all over accenting smooth fields and sharply struck devices. Rich orange-gold color accents the minimally marked surfaces. The eye appeal is very high end and near-GEM quality! PCGS 793, NGC 430, CAC 159. The most recent example brought $4,320 in June 2019 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,250. This is a highly eye appealing example worthy of a really neat 12-piece type set. PCGS# 8000 | ESTIMATE: $3,600+ 218

LOT 475 $5 1813 NGC MS63 CAC A fully CHOICE and very pleasing 1813 “Fat Head five.” A highly original coin with a satiny smooth luster. Possessing a very rich frosty glow in the fields, both sides are awash in a visually appealing honey gold coloration. Well struck and well made. Nicely preserved, there are only a couple of microscopic marks that keep this CHOICE example from an even higher grade. PCGS 55, NGC 34, CAC 13. This was the most recent NGC/CAC coin to sell in auction realizing $22,800 in February 2018. Prior to that one sold for $25,850 in September 2013. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $34,500. Elusive any finer, especially with CAC approval, this coin is great for a type or date set. PCGS# 8116 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 219

LOT 476 $5 1813 PCGS MS64 A shimmering, satiny BD-1. A very handsome and high grade survivor of this popular “fat head” five date. Brilliant golden surfaces have hints of olive hues that appear when rotated in a light. The devices are sharply rendered with crisply defined details throughout. A few minor ticks break the frosty luster, but they have very little, if any, impact on the exceptional eye appeal. With a mintage of 95,428, the 1813 is the most common year of this series. Most examples were exported and melted down as the specie value exceeded the face value, creating a profitable enterprise. As such, many dates are virtually unobtainable in any grade; the only dates suitable for type collectors are 1813, 1814/3, and 1818. All other dates range from rare to essentially UNIQUE, making this a very challenging series. PCGS 52, NGC 20. We suspect that the PCGS Population figures include duplicate submissions of the same coin thus inflating the data. The most recent PCGS graded example sold in December 2018 for $43,200 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $57,500. Extremely RARE any finer; PCGS has graded just eight higher, 6 in MS64+, 1 in MS66 and one in MS66+. Worthy of a strong bid from any collector. PCGS# 8116 | ESTIMATE: $42,000+ 220

LOT 477 $5 1813 PCGS MS64+ CAC WOW! What a stone cold killer GEM Early Gold piece! This coin looks like it sat around forever totally undisturbed. We strongly believe that this coin is so HIGH END, prior to 3rd party grading it would have been designated a GEM MS65. Overall, the surfaces have a few microscopic ticks on the left obverse (which probably is what keeps this from a full MS65 grade) but are clean and smooth overall. A thick satiny texture adorns both sides. We do feel the surfaces are still GEM quality. A solid luster shows off the beautiful and totally original deep yellow gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations anywhere. Miss Liberty and every detail are sharply struck and have loads of frost. The eye appeal is great plus! PCGS 52, NGC 20, CAC 13. PCGS has now graded 6 coins in MS64+ with only 3 coins higher. The last auction record for a PCGS CAC MS64 (no +) was $54,200 in June 2019. PCGS has graded NO MS65’s (they have done 2 MS66’s). PCGS CAC BUST gold is impossible to find on the bourse floor. This coin represents a tremendous value/opportunity at this time. Plus, it will be a star in ANY set it is placed in. Opportunity knocks loud here! PCGS# 8116 | ESTIMATE: $50,000+ 221

LOT 478 $5 1823 PCGS MS63+ CAC High end and VERY CHOICE! For an early half eagle, this 1823 is of exceptional quality, originality, and visual appeal. We consider this coin to be closer to MS64 quality than MS63. Truly a special example of this very difficult type. For the date, this wonderful early “Fat Head” five sits in the condition census for the date with fewer than a dozen graded in MS63+ or finer grades. A bold, satiny mint luster glows on rich original orange-gold hued surfaces. The shimmering glow amplifies the crisply struck devices. The eye appeal is heightened by the very smooth, clean surfaces that just show the slightest line or trace of contact anywhere. Only one pair of dies was used to strike the entire mintage of 1823 half eagles. The BD-1 is rated as a high Rarity-4 with about 80-100 estimated to survive. It is interesting to note that all half eagles from 1821 to 1824 were struck using the same reverse die. In the early days of the federal mint, the figures minted were recorded for the number of coins struck in a given calendar year, regardless of the date on the dies utilized. The die state of the reverse die is earlier for 1823 and 1824-dated coins were actually struck BEFORE the 1822s. The “Fat Head” five series, saw decent sized mintages for the era so collectors may not understand how truly rare they are in all grades. At the time these beautiful coins were struck, the intrinsic value of the gold exceeded the face value stamped into the dies. Enterprising American businessmen would export their gold coins overseas, where they would be melted, then re-imported into the U.S. as bullion, resulting in a tidy profit for those involved in the trade. The examples that survive today are truly special coins to be treasured. Collected mostly as a type, the series can be broken down into three date categories: “common” (1813, 1814/3, 1818, 1820); “very scarce” (1823, 1824, 1825/4, 1826, 1827, 1831, 1832, 1833); and “VERY RARE” (all other dates). This date is solidly in the very scarce category and commands a premium over the “common” dates. PCGS 7, NGC 3, CAC 4. There are three graded MS63+ at PCGS and we believe that it represents duplicate submissions. This coin sold in the January 2014 auction of the Del Valle Collection, where it was graded PCGS MS63 CAC and realized $70,500. That was the first time since Abner Kreisberg sold the coin to the collector in the 1970s. While we note a PCGS MS64 that sold more recently in the 2018 ANA auction for $49,200, that coin had some significant scuffs that limit the eye appeal, and we would rank this one higher in terms of overall surface cleanliness. This impressive example should hammer for more than the current Collectors Universe value of $66,000. What a great coin for any collector of gold types, or the ambitious collector seeking an example of every date in this very challenging series. Regardless, it will see very stiff bidding competition when it crosses the block! PCGS# 8131 | ESTIMATE: $67,500+ 222

LOT 479 $5 1840-D PCGS XF45 CAC The Tall D variety, not noted on the holder. This is the first year of the modified Coronet Head design, which made the curve in Liberty’s neck less curved and other modifications which would remain until the end of the series six decades later. This “GEM” XF is housed in a first generation holder and is totally original! The surfaces are richly toned with a deep honey-orange gold with lighter apricot hues that mingle with olive and lavender patina that is a true delight to behold! Well struck, as typical for the date, you can tell this coin was fully struck before entering circulation. Crisp definition, we have seen higher grade pieces that are not this well rendered or preserved. The surfaces possess a scattering of abrasions, typical for the date, but none are particularly distracting to the eye. We have to assume this beauty is fresh to the market and has not been to the “doctor’s office.” PCGS 16, 10, CAC 1.This coin may have appeared in auction ages ago, but not since it has been CAC-approved. The quality is much better than the most recent PCGS graded example that sold 3 years ago for $3,550; indeed the eye appeal is better than the PCGS AU50 CAC that sold in April 2018 for $5,760. The current PCGS value in XF45 is $4,000 and in AU50 its $6,000--we suspect this wonderful coin will sell for closer to the AU value than the XF45 value. It is our sincere hope this coin is bought by a collector who delights in the originality and high end eye appeal, and not by someone who is going to dip, strip, and conserve the surfaces in hopes of getting it into a higher grade. It will take a premium bid to bring home this PQ+ beauty! PCGS# 8198 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ NOTES 223

LOT 480 $5 1895 PCGS PR65 DCAM A real numismatic delicacy! What a treasure! We are pleased to present this GEM 1895 half eagle Proof. One of perhaps 35-45 that survive from an original, miniscule mintage of just 81 produced for collectors. Boldly reflective mirrored fields show lots of the original orange-peal texture that collectors desire, and are hallmarks of the Proofs struck in this era. The razor sharp devices are nicely frosted and provide a bold contrast to the fields. Rotating the coin in a light and using the aid of a powerful glass, we reveal a small patch of hairlines in the obverse field, likely what precluded a CAC approval, but they have little, if any affect on the outstanding naked eye appeal. PCGS 2, NGC 1. No PR65 DCAM has ever sold via auction, nor do we see any posted anywhere for private sale. The most recent PCGS-graded DCAM was a PR66 DCAM that sold for $45,825 two and a half years ago. In PR65 DCAM, Collectors Universe lists a value of $38,500. An important opportunity for any collector to take advantage. Who knows when you will have another chance to bid on a GEM DCAM 1895 half eagle! PCGS# 98490 | ESTIMATE: $35,000+ 224

LOT 481 $5 1909-O PCGS MS61 CAC Only 34,200 examples were struck of this final New Orleans issue for circulation, many of which disappeared into daily commercial use. Very few survive in Mint State, fewer still qualify for CAC approval. For “only” being a 61, this 1909-O half eagle has an exquisite look! Totally original, with rich orange-golden color that graces the surfaces of the satiny, brilliant surfaces. All feathers both from the headdress and eagle are fully rendered, and the all important O mintmark is bold. Clearly, unlike the vast majority of these that are seen in the marketplace, this lovely, toned piece has never been dipped, stripped, or otherwise cleaned or conserved in hopes of getting a higher grade. While a strong glass reveals a few tinly lines, the eye appeal is VERY BOLD for the assigned grade. PCGS 29, NGC 76, CAC 13. These are seen very infrequently in auctions, can you believe the last one to sell was in our May 2016 Regency Auction--seems like yesterday! That coin brought $41,125; prior tot that, one sold in February 2014 for $47,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $45,000. VERY RARE any finer; this is a KEY issue that is in constant demand from collectors in all grades. Worthy of inclusion in any CHOICE, carefully selected set. PCGS# 8515 | ESTIMATE: $38,000+ 225

LOT 482 $5 1909-S PCGS MS64+ CAC The late numismatic scholar, David Akers wrote, “The 1909-S is one of the four or five rarest issues of the series... Mint State examples at any level are rare and in high Mint State grades, i.e. MS-64 or better, there are probably fewer than 20 specimens in all.” Thirty years after his last revision, this fact is borne out by the grading services’ population data: PCGS has graded 28 total from MS64 to MS67 and NGC has graded 12 from MS64 to MS66. No doubt both figures contain duplication of the same coin being submitted multiple times, crossed over, etc. Regardless, in such a lofty state of preservation, this coin is a MAJOR CONDITION RARITY! Typical for the date, both sides show razor sharp definition to the incuse design elements. Every feather is deeply impressed. A satiny mint luster accents the totally original surfaces with ample rich, orange gold color. The totally original surfaces are slightly “dirty” and very eye appealing. A couple of minor marks on the field are all that keeps this impressive, near-GEM from an even loftier designation. The two finest, the Brand-Duckor and the Norweb-Price-Simpson coins are both thought to have been acquired directly at mint at the time of issue. PCGS 22, NGC 10, CAC 11. There are four graded MS64+ at PCGS, and just six finer. Prior to this one selling in our May 2019 Regency Auction, we had the pleasure of selling the most recent PCGS/CAC example that realized $32,900 (not this coin). The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $37,500. Exceptionally RARE any finer, and none of the ones graded finer have sold in auction since 2011, when a 65 and a 66 sold. This is a very important rarity for the advanced collector and is worthy of a great set of $5 Indians. We can see this totally original and visually alluring near-GEM sell for a strong price. Good luck! PCGS# 8516 | ESTIMATE: $28,000+ 226

LOT 483 $10 1801 PCGS MS61 BD-2. This more common variety of the year, but regardless, these early $10s are always popular and in demand with limited supply in Mint State holders. The present MS61 is housed in older green tag holder. The lustrous surfaces have a semi-reflective texture that blooms brilliantly on both sides. The sharply struck central devices have a thick frost that stands out against the semi-Prooflike surfaces. Light scuffs and marks are seen in the fields, but there is no wear on the surfaces. The eye appeal of this fresh Mint State early $10 is quite pleasing. A great coin for type or date purposes. PCGS 52, NGC 60. The most recent example to sell in auction was in the 2018 FUN auction were one brought $26,400 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $30,000. A great opportunity to add an attractive early $10 to your collection, don’t let it pass you by! PCGS# 8564 | ESTIMATE: $23,000+ 227

LOT 484 $10 1845-O REPUNCHED DATE. PCGS XF45 CAC Here is a very pleasing Choice XF example of this popular variety, with the 8 and 4 repunched, the first impression slightly below the proper place. Well struck and satiny with the typically abraded surfaces for the assigned grade. PCGS 6, NGC 0, CAC 2. The other example sold for $3,360 in the 2018 ANA Auction. This coin has been off the market for over half a decade, and keep in mind that the value jumps to $4,250 in AU 50. VERY RARE any finer! PCGS# 88593 | ESTIMATE: $2,600+ LOT 485 $10 1849-O PCGS AU53 What a great opportunity for the advanced New Orleans eagle collector. With a mintage of 23,900 the 49-O began off as a scarce issue to begin with; and most appear to have entered directly into antebellum circulation, as the typical survivor grades VF or XF. Any AU coin is quite rare. In fact, both David Akers and Doug Winter both list this date as among the three rarest dates from New Orleans in the 1840s. The presently offered example has just some light, even wear. The devices retain a bold definition. Typically abraded surfaces with scattered ticks and marks show off a pleasing olive-gold patina. PCGS 8, NGC 24. There has not been a PCGS-graded AU53 sold at auction since October 2012, a coin that realized $7,638. Today the Collectors Universe value is listed at $9,500. EXTREMELY RARE any finer, PCGS has graded just 10 finer in all grades to MS61, and keep in mind that NONE finer have sold since 2000 in a PCGS holder! Let that sink in! An important coin for the specialist collector. PCGS# 8602 | ESTIMATE: $6,500+ LOT 486 $10 1901-S PCGS MS64+ CAC This piece is VERY HIGH END and a VERY good looking coin! We fully agree with its grade! Only a few light and hidden frost breaks keep this piece from full MS65. Overall, the surfaces look clean and offer a thick satiny texture. A strong luster beams from all over. The colors are totally original gold/pale pink/pale greenish gold colors. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and every detail are frosty and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is beautiful! PCGS 4511, NGC 4218, CAC 495. There are 351 graded 64+. The most recent PCGS/CAC example sold in June 2019 for $1,440, and we sold one in our Final Premier Session in December 2018 for $1,430 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $1,250. Bid now before the premiums go up! PCGS# 8749 | ESTIMATE: $1,200+ 228

LOT 487 $10 1906-D PCGS MS65 CAC Ever since handling the Hall/Simpson Collection of Liberty Head Eagles, we have learned much about how rare so many of the later dates really are, especially in GEM grades. Despite a large mintage of 981,000, very few survive in GEM, indeed fewer than forty have ever graded MS65 or higher at PCGS. Boldly lustrous with strong satiny surfaces, the eye appeal is excellent. Warm golden color gleams from the fields and well struck devices. We note only a single contact mark by Liberty’s neck in the field worthy of mention. PCGS 35, NGC 22, CAC 9. The most recent example sold in May 2019 for $10,500 and we sold one in July 2018 for $10,281; both prices are well in excess of the current PCGS value of $7,000. Just four grade higher at PCGS, making this a great coin for any advanced set. PCGS# 8760 | ESTIMATE: $8,500+ LOT 488 $10 1908 MOTTO. PCGS MS63 CAC Fully CHOICE and very pleasing, indeed the initial visual impact is that of an even higher grade. Highly lustrous fields radiate with bold cartwheels that accent sharply struck devices and high end surface quality. PCGS 965, NGC 485, CAC 49. Do not let the pops fool you, it has been over five years since the last PCGS/CAC example sold in auction, realizing $2,291in the 2014 CSNS auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $1,400 and worthy of a bid in excess of that level. PCGS# 8859 | ESTIMATE: $1,200+ LOT 489 $10 1914-S PCGS MS64 CAC A very high end and pleasingly original 1914-S ten that boast superior quality surfaces for the date. Overall they are smooth and free of any serious marks, though under the gaze of a strong glass, you can see a few microscopic marks, but none are serious enough to warrant individual mention. The fully frosted mint luster glows, enlivening a totally original and rich honey gold patina. The details are all crisply struck and stand out nicely. For the grade, the eye appeal is exceptional. PCGS 68, NGC 27, CAC 15. Two PCGS/CAC coins have sold in 2019, one in June for $14,400 and one in January for $13,200 and the current PCGS value is $12,000. RARE any finer, only 18 are graded finer, and they appear in auction with no regularity, leaving MS64 as about the highest grade you can hope to acquire. Bound for a wonderful $10 Indian set, and worthy of a strong bid. PCGS# 8877 | ESTIMATE: $11,000+ 229

LOT 492 $20 1852-O PCGS MS61 CAC All New Orleans mint double eagles are RARE in Mint State grades, the present date is no exception! This coin ranks among the FINEST graded at PCGS, with just eight coins graded finer. In all, Doug Winter has opined that there are 15-20 Uncirculated survivors, and PCGS CoinFacts suggests 13. There is likely duplication in the population reports, and as they sit, the number of Mint State coins graded at both services is very small. The present coin has a light golden-orange hue that glows with a semi-reflective prooflike luster that beams in the fields. The devices are sharply struck up and nicely frosted. We note some minor lines on the fields but they do not detract from the superb eye appeal. PCGS 7, NGC 7, CAC 1. While this may be one of the more available dates from this mint, it is very rare in Mint State. No PCGS MS61 has sold in over a decade. The Bass-Gilded Age coin, a non-CAC MS62 PCGS coin sold in the 2014 ANA auction for $94,000. In MS61, the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $52,500 and this one, with CAC endorsement, should bring a premium bid! Worthy of one of the finest collections of double eagles! PCGS# 8907 | ESTIMATE: $52,500+ 231

LOT 493 $20 1857-S PCGS MS65 CAC S.S. CENTRAL AMERICA From the second recovery of coins from the S.S. Central America that includes the pinch of gold in the holder. The Spike Shield variety. Vibrant, satiny mint luster swirls brilliantly over GEM quality surfaces on both sides. Sharply struck up with remarkably smooth surfaces look as fresh today as they did when the S.S. Central America sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean off the Carolina coast during on September 11, 1857. The eye appeal is wonderful! PCGS has graded 121 MS65s off the second recovery from the S.S. Central America, and between both first and second recovery, CAC has approved 163 in MS65. The PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $16,500. Worthy of a strong bid from anyone collecting GEM shipwreck gold coins. PCGS# 670713 | ESTIMATE: $12,000+ LOT 494 $20 1866 MOTTO PCGS MS62 Wow, what a lustrous example of this first year of issue of the With Motto type. An original, borderline-CHOICE Mint State example, this coin is one of the finest known examples, bested by exactly TWO coins. Vivid satiny luster glows with a vibrant brilliance in the fields. Bold, seductive, deep amber-honey gold accents come out as you rotate the lustrous surfaces in a light. A few scattered lines and ticks are noted, which define the assigned MS62 grade; the only other thing we need to disclose is some planchet “slag” that is noted at the lower neck and above the 18 in the date. In 1866, the mint added the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to the reverse designs of the quarter, half dollar, dollar, half eagle, eagle, and double eagle. The first year of with Motto coinage saw 698,745 double eagle coined, most of which went into circulation or were melted later. Most Mint State coins are clustered at the MS60 and MS61 level, just 11 coins have been graded MS62 or finer at PCGS. PCGS 9, NGC 2. The most recent example to sell was an NGC MS62, which realized $24,000 in the 2019 FUN auction, and the most recent PCGS coin sold two years ago in July 2017 for $21,150. The current Collectors Universe value is $27,500. Note this date is essentially unobtainable any finer. The finest is the AWA-DL Hansen coin that is graded PCGS MS64, which last sold in 2006. There is a PCGS MS63 that has never appeared in auction. PCGS CoinFacts lists another as MS63 estimated grade, which is the former Jimmy Hayes coin which last sold as NGC MS64 DPL in July 2008 for $126,500. This coin is solidly in the condition census, tied for 3rd or 4th FINEST. A great coin for any advanced collection of gold coins, most collectors will only dream of owning an AU58 to MS61 graded coin--this is an important opportunity for anyone looking for a finer example! PCGS# 8949 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 232

LOT 495 $20 1876 PCGS MS64+ CAC This is an AMAZING SUPER HIGH END GEM! It oozes with GEM originality too. When we saw this we almost caused another earthquake in LA , our tongues hit the floor that hard! The surfaces should not even exist. They are very clean-clearly above average. Only using a strong glass can you see the most trivial ticks and a few lines. In addition, there are bold semi prooflike mirrors (no imagination needed). There actually is contrast too. Add all that and a full booming luster that beams from all over. Both sides enjoy a stunning totally original deep yellow gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are a fully struck. The eye appeal is PHENOMENAL! PCGS 8, NGC 10, CAC 4. PCGS has graded 2 coins MS64+. Neither has been sold via auction. The current Collectors Universe Value is $70,000. It should also be noted the lone PCGS MS65 has a Collectors Universe Value of $185,000 (we believe a PCGS CAC piece would easily bring $175,000). The coin offered here is closer to MS65 then MS64! It has all the bells and whistles. It will be a star in any Type or $20 Collection- even if its a GEM collection! We absolutely stand by the fact the coin is VERY HIGH END and has PHENOMENAL eye appeal. Sorry, this is NOT a “dirty” coin! PCGS# 8976 | ESTIMATE: $65,000+ 233

LOT 496 $20 1889 PCGS MS62 CAC A low mintage date, only 44,070 were struck for circulation, very scarce in this grade and RARE any finer. Pleasing, original satiny mint frost blooms from below a rich orange-rose gold patina. A few light ticks and marks are noted and account for the grade, but do not impact the naked eye appeal. PCGS 207, NGC 177, CAC 25. The most recent PCGS/CAC coin to sell in auction brought $4,320 in December 2018 and prior to that, they were selling in the $3,100-$3,600 range. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $3,950. RARE any finer, this is the ideal grade for anyone putting away Type 3 double eagles. Good luck! PCGS# 9010 | ESTIMATE: $3,000+ LOT 497 $20 1890-CC PCGS MS62 We love these! 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, and RARE any finer than the currently offered grade. 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. PCGS 68, NGC 53. There has to be lots of duplication in the population records in hopes of getting a higher grade. In four different sales in 2018, examples sold for $13,200 and $14,400; the current PCGS Price Guide value is $17,500. VERY RARE finer, with just 4 in MS62+, 7 in MS63, and 1 in MS63+. This would make a wonderful addition to any Type 3 Double Eagle set, or really any gold holding. PCGS# 9014 | ESTIMATE: $12,000+ 234

LOT 498 $20 1892-S PCGS MS65 This is a relatively common date up to MS64 grade, but is conditionally very RARE in GEM grade. The present satiny lustrous MS65 has a thick, radiant mint frost that blooms vividly on both sides. Sharply struck up devices show full definition. A single, narrow line can be seen on the obverse is noted for full disclosure. The eye appeal is wonderful. PCGS 19, NGC 6. Only five are graded finer. Most of the GEMS came from the 178 that were discovered in the Saddle Ridge Hoard in 2013. The most recent example to sell in auction brought $19,200 in October 2018 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $20,000. Five coins graded higher, all MS65+ and none of these have ever sold in auction. Worthy of a great holding of gold coins. PCGS# 9021 | ESTIMATE: $18,000+ 235

LOT 499 $20 1893-CC PCGS MS62 This is a glorious and nearly CHOICE Mint State example of the final Carson City double eagle issue. From a limited mintage of 18,402, the majority of examples disappeared into circulation, with a typical survivor being in the XF to AU range. RARE in MS63, unknown to PCGS any finer than that, the finest example most collectors will ever hope to add to their sets is a 62. The example we are pleased to offer here shows a burst of brilliant golden luster that radiates with bold, rolling cartwheels. Both sides show a touch of semi-reflective flash that enlivens the apricot- tangerine shade to the surfaces. Close inspection with a loupe reveals the traces of contact consistent with the assigned grade, and nothing seriously affects the outstanding eye appeal. PCGS 137, NGC 153. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $20,400 in July 2019 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $20,000. VERY RARE finer, PCGS has graded 28 finer, including what we believe to be a decent number of duplicates, and the APRs more than double between MS62 and MS63. A great coin for any gold set! Good luck! PCGS# 9023 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+ LOT 500 LOT 501 $20 1900-S PCGS MS64+ CAC $20 1901 PCGS MS65 FRESH and ORIGINAL.

Sharply struck and exceptionally well Creamy fields have a few small breaks in luster but nothing preserved for the date, it becomes excessively rare any finer! noteworthy, and a tiny copper spot beneath the eagle’s right wing Housed in an old green tag holder. which is indiscernible to the naked eye. PCGS 327, NGC 339. The current PCGS Price Guide value is PCGS 154, NGC 104, CAC 12. There are just four graded MS64+ listed at $3,550 and the most recent example sold for $3,480 in and this is a major condition rarity in MS65, with just five graded May 2019. There are just 9 graded finer and are rarely ever seen in at PCGS! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,500 the marketplace, adding demand for pleasing GEM MS65s like this and the last PCGS MS64+ CAC sold in the 2018 FUN auction for from collectors. $5,760 and keep in mind that any MS65 with CAC (Pop 1, will be a $20,000+ coin! CAC gold is HOT, so plan to bid with abandon! PCGS# 9039 | ESTIMATE: $3,000+ PCGS# 9038 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ 236

LOT 502 $20 1903 PCGS MS66+ Here is a truly SUPERB and special $20 Liberty! It is also the SOLE FINEST graded for the date. While a lower mintage, many examples are known mostly below MS64. It does become quite scarce in MS65 and downright RARE any finer. Thick satiny surfaces are remarkably free of any major marks. Only using a strong glass and really looking around can you find a light scuff or two-NONE are visible to the naked eye. We grade the reverse a full MS67. A thick satiny luster is unbroken and beams from all over. The colors are a rich original gold/deeper gold. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are fully struck. The eye appeal is mesmerizing! PCGS 1, NGC 0. The current Collectors Universe Value shows $70,000. This coin will be a glorious addition to any high end GEM set of $20 Libs! We expect very strong bidding for this SUPERB GEM when it crosses the block! PCGS# 9043 | ESTIMATE: $50,000+ 237

LOT 503 $20 1904 PCGS MS66 This is a VERY pleasing GEM that seems to be a just miss for a CAC bean. The surfaces are above average in terms of cleanliness. Even when using a strong glass there are no problems to be found. A thick silky strong luster beams boldy from all over. Both sides are a deep gold color and are original. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck. The eye appeal is very pleasing! PCGS 212, NGC 280. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $9,000 in October 2018. With gold moving up and and demand creeping up as well, now seems like as smart of time as ever to acquire a piece like this. Prior to the last piece selling, another sold for $6,600 in April 2018. The Current Collectors Universe value is $6,500. PCGS# 9045 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ LOT 504 $20 1907 HIGH RELIEF, WIRE EDGE. PCGS MS63 CAC Truly a fully CHOICE example of this ever popular gold type. Rich orange gold color is brought out by a vivid satin mint luster. Some minor contact can be seen here and there, and is taken into account for the MS63 grade. The eye appeal is very nice for the grade. Arguably the most beautiful design ever used on a circulation strike coin made for use in day to day commerce from the first days of the U.S. mint in 1792 to the current era. The history of the type has oft been written about in countless catalogs and references, and is directly connected to the wishes of President Theodore Roosevelt’s to have a coinage that lived up to America’s greatness. Augustus St. Gaudens’ striding Liberty carrying a lighted torch, olive branch and majestic flying eagle reverse accomplished that goal. However the high relief nature of the design made mass production difficult. Only 11,250 High Reliefs were struck, before their relief was lowered to the design that ran from 1907 to 1933. PCGS 979, NGC 276, CAC 112. The most recent PCGS/CAC MS63 sold for $22,800 in the 2019 FUN auction, and prior to that, they were selling in the $23,500 to $25,200. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $23,500. A wonderful, original example that is worthy of a great type set. We love the look and you will too. PCGS# 9135 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 238

LOT 505 $20 1908 NO MOTTO. PCGS MS66 CAC Housed in an old green tag holder, this is a very pleasing quality GEM. The surfaces are clean and have a good glowing luster can be seen all over. Both sides are an original deeper gold color. There are NO spots anywhere and every detail is well struck. The eye appeal is excellent! PCGS 8989, NGC 4523, CAC 305. The two most recent examples sold for $3,360 and we have sold two for $3,520 in 2018. PCGS# 9142 | ESTIMATE: $3,000+ LOT 506 $20 1908-S PCGS AU58+ CAC Starting with a low mintage of just 22,000, the 1908-S double eagle is quite rare in Mint State grades. This borderline Mint State coin is so very close, and is the only AU58+ graded by PCGS. Nearly full frosty mint luster radiates on both sides. A strong glass reveals a few tiny ticks and only the slightest touch of friction on the highest points and in the fields. Pale yellow gold in the center, the color deepens to a warm honey gold toward the peripheral details. The eye appeal is quite nice, PQ for an AU, and certainly highly desirable as such!. PCGS 115, NGC 135, CAC 21. PCGS and NGC have each graded just a single AU58+. The only one to ever sell in auction was the ex Newman NGC/CAC coin that realized $9,400 in November 2014. Most Mint State coins are clustered in the MS60 to MS62 grades. This coin has a very similar look without the price tag. PCGS# 9149 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ 239

LOT 507 $20 1911-D PCGS MS66+ CAC A very high-end quality, essentially SUPERB GEM 11-D $20. Prohibitively rare any finer than the currently offered 66+ grade, this coin represents an excellent value for any serious double eagle collector. Brilliant swirling satin mint bloom graces both sides of this impressive gem. Rich golden color takes on an awesome two tone look. Clean, matte-like textured surfaces show nothing but the most insignificant microscopic tick or two. The devices are fully detailed from an exacting strike. PCGS 662, NGC 577, CAC 111. PCGS has graded 37 in MS66+ and just 12 coins graded finer. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $9,400 in our March 2019 Regency Auction. Another sold in the 2019 FUN auction for $9,000. The current PCGS value is $13,500. The last time a PCGS MS67 sold was in April 2012 for $54,625 (NOT CAC). Who knows when the next time a GEM like this will come up for auction! Good luck. PCGS# 9158 | ESTIMATE: $8,500+ LOT 508 $20 1926 NGC MS65* Of the 3,858 MS65s that NGC has graded in 30 years of operations, only 14 have been awarded the coveted “*” designation for superior eye appeal. This GEM is truly deserving with an intense mint luster, sharply struck up devices, and very clean fields. The eye appeal is outstanding. The last non-CAC example sold for a strong $2,400 in October 2018. With rising gold prices, demand for better grade generics will increase. Few if any have such a strong eye appeal. Bid accordingly. PCGS# 9183 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+ 240

LOT 509 $50 1851 HUMBERT. REEDED EDGE. .887. PCGS VF30 Wholesome and impressive, this Humbert “slug” is a wonderful example for the collector looking for a straight graded, yet affordable example of this Gold Rush era Territorial rarity. Pleasing, even wear is seen over the yellow-gold surfaces. The eye appeal is quite handsome with bold definition to the devices and the design elements are only impacted by a few, relatively minor contact. Unlike most survivors, we do not think this coin has been cleaned or conserved and the surfaces are devoid of any major gouges, hits, or cuts. The corners have some minor dings, which for a coin of this heft is quite common, even on higher grade pieces. After gold was discovered in 1848, the rush was on, as thousands of pioneers, settlers, speculators, including folks with less than noble intentions flooded west looking to stake out a claim and seek their fortunes. Those really were the days of the wild west! Shortly after, enterprising business men established assay offices, where holders of gold could get their dust and nuggets tested, weighed, and smelted into bars, or made into coins. One of the most successful of these firms was Moffatt & Co. which, in 1850 received the contract from the federal government to establish an assay office and provisional mint. Augustus Humbert was hired on as assayer, and dies were produced in New York by famed engraver Charles C. Wright. Over the next few years the operators would change several times, until the Assay Office officially became the San Francisco mint in 1854. The first “coins” to be produced by the Assay Office were the $50 ingots, which are commonly referred to as “slugs”. While many were struck, these are quite scare today. Readily accepted in commerce, most examples seen today show moderate to extensive wear (as well as other forms of mishandling like cleaning, damage, etc). The Kagin-6 variety offered here is rated as Rarity-4 and is the most “common” variety. It is certain that when the mint was officially established in 1854, many of these large (nearly 2.5 ounce) coins were melted and coined into double eagles. Because these were struck by a federal agency, these really should be considered part of the regular U.S. series; perhaps they will be included in main stream gold type collections, not just in collections of territorial or pioneer gold. PCGS 25, NGC 16. These do not appear in auction with much frequency. The most recent sold in October 2018 for $25,200, prior to that, there had not been one sold since January 2014 (realizing $35,250). The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $32,000 and a coin like this will see strong collector bidding activity. These are extremely desirable historical heirlooms that are always popular. Good luck! PCGS# 10214 | ESTIMATE: $25,000+ 241

LOT 510 G$1 1903 LA PURCHASE. MCKINLEY. PCGS PR66 DCAM CAC Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer this SUPERB GEM Proof Louisiana Purchase gold dollar. Not only is this among the FINEST survivors from a miniscule mintage of 100 pieces, but it is the ONLY DCAM graded at PCGS in any grade. The deeply mirrored fields are essentially flawless; with close inspection using a very strong glass, we can find only a few mint made lint marks, which do help to explain the amazing contrast. The highly frosted and well struck devices contrast brilliantly against the beautiful deep mirrors. The eye appeal is absolutely stunning. A truly majestic example of this rarity. The first 100 examples of both the Louisiana Purchase gold dollar types were struck in Proof and of those, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins (2006) estimate that perhaps two dozen examples survive, although current grading Population Report data shows this to be too low. While we account for the possibility of duplication of records, there are currently 79 in all grades graded by PCGS and NGC. There are also several that still survive in the original framed certificates of issue. PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $40,000. A PCGS PR66 CAM CAC sold in April 2016 for $32,900, and this coin has a deeper contrast and extremely bold eye appeal that makes it worthy of the FINEST of advanced gold commemorative sets. Good luck! PCGS# 622825 | ESTIMATE: $22,000+ 242

LOT 511 G$1 1904 LEWIS & CLARK. PCGS MS65 CAC A lovely GEM example of this scarce gold dollar commemorative. Thickly lustrous surfaces glow with a brilliance usually reserved for higher grade pieces. Sharply struck devices and very smooth surfaces show few if any imperfections of any kind. We do like the look of this eye appealing GEM. PCGS 339, NGC 189, CAC 31. The most recent CAC approved example to sell in auction was graded by NGC and sold for $3,600 in April 2019. Prior to that, it had been two years since the last PCGS/CAC coin sold at $3,525 in March 2017. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $3,750. Worthy of any gold commem set and a strong bid. PCGS# 7447 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+ LOT 512 G$1 1915-S PANAMA- PACIFIC. PCGS MS67+ CAC This fantastic Pan-Pac gold dollar is tied for FINEST of this popular type. The surfaces are PRISTINE. Everything about it is SUPERB. Bold satiny mint luster glows over brilliant yellow-gold surfaces that are smooth, the epitome of cleanliness. The eye appeal is off the charts! PCGS 84, NGC 68, CAC 20. There are just four graded 67+ and NONE FINER at PCGS. Only a single non-CAC PCGS MS67+ has sold in auction, realizing $13,200 in the 2018 ANA auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $15,000. If you are building the highest ranking set on the PCGS Registry you need to view this magnificent SUPERB GEM.

LOT 513 $50 1915-S PANAMA-PACIFIC. OCTAGONAL. PCGS AU53 REMARKABLE RIMS! How often do you get to say that when you are cataloguing or viewing a $50 gold piece? Essentially, NEVER! Some light handling marks are noted, but are certainly expected and commensurate with the grade, as is the light rub on the high points, such as Miss Libertyís cheek and the owl on the reverse. Uniform blonde gold color glides across the silken luster. One feels a sense of WONDER when holding one of these rarities with itís classical design of the helmeted head of Minvera, the goddess of wisdom on the obverse and the wise owl on the reverse. There is so much romance associated with these legendary pieces, not the least of which is the occasion for which they were coined, the Panama Pacific Exposition and the celebration of the opening of the Panama Canal, a stunning feat in itís own right. Of the original authorized mintage of 1,500 coins just 645 survived the melting pot. PCGS 4, NGC 0. We had the privilege of selling this classic issue in our December 2018 sale where it fetched a handsome sum of $52,250. If you want to add this classic rarity to your cabinet and not have to spend six figures to do it, we suggest you bid liberally on this example. PCGS# 7452 | ESTIMATE: $45,000+ 244

LOT 514 $50 1915-S PANAMA-PACIFIC. OCTAGONAL. PCGS MS63 A lovely Pan-Pac slug. The presently offered example is very pleasing with a warm, original, honey gold patination on both sides. Sharply struck devices show their classically inspired design elements in their fullest, crisp forms from an exacting blow from the dies. A stray line or two are noted. Indeed, were it not for some dirt that clings some of the lettering and peripheral devices, this coin would certainly have been approved by CAC and may have even graded higher. While it is quite possible that it can be removed with little effort, we do not assume it will go up in grade. The Panama-Pacific commemoratives are among the most popular and beautifully rendered in the entire early commemorative series. The $50 gold pieces are among the great classic rarities of the 20th century and one of the most UNIQUE designs of all American numismatics. The design, with allegorical representations of wisdom, strength, power are presented with Minerva on the obverse and her owl on a pine branch on the reverse. In the corners are swimming dolphins representing the connecting of the Atlantic and Pacific via the newly opened canal in Panama. Regardless of grade, the Pan-Pac $50 gold pieces are impressive! Only 645 of these octagonal “slugs” were sold at the Pan-Pac Expo, and after. With such a low mintage and unique design, this is one of the “blue chips” of American numismatics. PCGS 168, NGC 111. Clearly the populations are inflated by resubmissions, crossovers, upgrades, etc. Hard to have more coins graded than were minted! The most recent example sold in September 2018 for $72,000 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $87,500. Demand is strong, as we even sold a MS62 in November 2018 for $70,500. With MS64s approaching the six-figure mark, we think this is a great price point for most collectors. Good luck! PCGS# 7452 | ESTIMATE: $60,000+ 245

LOT 515 $2.50 1926 SESQUICENTEN- NIAL. PCGS MS66+ CAC One glance of this Premium Quality Sesqui and you can easily see why it ranks among the absolute FINEST KNOWN examples extant! Bold, satiny golden luster blooms with a strong vibrance on both sides, accenting the brilliance of the light golden surfaces. Every design element is sharply struck showing full definition. Only under the magnification of a strong loupe can you see any tiny ticks. The eye appeal, as you might expect is incredible! PCGS 199, NGC 112, CAC 20. There are 10 graded MS66+ and just a single MS67 graded finer. We sold one in November 2018 for $13,513 and more recently one sold int he 2019 FUN sale for $13,200. Collectors Universe lists a value of $15,000 and the only MS67 last sold nearly two decades ago for over $41,000!
