There may be a tiny fleck or tick or two, but nothing struck GEM. Like other years in the late 19th century, the distracting from the overall eye appeal of this well struck mintage of quarter eagles in 1895 was very small, only 6,000 were struck, and this MS66 ranks among the finest certified by quarter eagle.

LOT 439 $2.50 1891 PCGS PR64+ DCAM CAC A delightful, borderline GEM proof quarter eagle. Like ALL proof gold coins this is an exceptionally RARE coin, only 80 were struck, and survivors likely number in the 20-30 range. Richly frosted and razor sharp raised reliefs contrast beautifully with deeply reflective“black” mirrored fields that display a lovely orange peel effect. Close inspection with a strong glass reveals anancient tiny tick or two, but none are distracting from the otherwise superb visual allure.PCGS 1, NGC 2, CAC 3. This coin sold in June 2016 for$14,100, and the current PCGS Price Guide is $17,500.Keep in mind that last year, an NGC PR64 Ultra Cameo brought $15,275, and the last PCGS PR65 DCAM CACsold for $30,550 in May 2013. A spectacular proof goldcoin that will certainly attract strong bidding competition from the advanced numismatist. PCGS # 97917 | EST: $14,500+LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM 255

LOT 440 $2.50 1899 PCGS PR66+ DCAM CAC WOW! This SUPERB GEM possesses everything that the collector could possibly desire in a proof gold coin. Expansive depth and vast contrast between the highly mirrored fields and frosted devices, far and away stronger than usually seen on these rare proof gold issues. Free of any copper specks The mirrors are DEEP and black; the reliefs are bright frosty gold with a rich orange-gold patina catches the light and the coin grabs your attention from across the room. Close study of the fields under a light will discover the finely textured and highly desireable orange peel quality which adds a curious texture and adds to the sultry appeal. All the devices are fully struck as would be expected for such an amazing looking coin. Even under the most intense scrutiny with a strong glass we cannot find a single flaw worthy of description; all Quarter Eagle proofs of this date show a shallow indentation in the horizontal shield stripes on the reverse as seen here. The more you look at it, the more mesmerizing it is. The late 1890s saw a triumph of minting techniques that all came together to create these elegant Deep Cameo proof gold coins. First off, the dies had to be carefully prepared, with an acid applied to etch the entire die surface which creates the frosted appearance. Next the frost was completely removed from the fields (the highest point on the die) by carefully polishing the surface, but not so much as to drift into the devices. This process gives the fields their mirror finish and the first few dozen coins struck under high pressure offer the greatest degree of contrast and depth of reflectivity. Long collected by specialists these proof gold coins are the absolute pinnacle of quality in American numismatics, they were struck for collectors and have been held in the highest regard ever since. Their rarity is legendary, and when found in gem or finer grades, with the Deep Cameo contrast, simply cannot be surpassed in dramatic visual effect. Only 150 were minted. PCGS 6, NGC 5, CAC 7. This is the ONLY PR66+ and while 10 coins appear to be graded higher on the PCGS Population Report, we think that includes duplication. The most recent PCGS PR66 to sell was back in August 2011 which realized $20,700. In June 2016 a PCGS/ CAC PR67 DCAM sold for $41,425. This coin will surely find itself selling for somewhere in the middle, perhaps around the PCGS Price Guide value of $32,500. These unmolested and original GEM proofs are extremely rare, particularly in as fine a grade as offered here. Gold proof coins have long been called the caviar of numismatics, and we believe that any gem proof in a collection adds a mark of sophistication. If you are looking for a truly special coin to put away, here it is. PCGS # 97925 | EST: $30,000+256

LOT 441 257 $2.50 1902 NGC PR67 CAMEO Tied for ABSOLUTE highest graded at NGC and there are no PCGS CAMEOS finer than the sole PR66 CAM. Starting in 1901, the Mint began striking proofs with a brilliant finish, which was different from the cameo proofs than the more contrasting cameo proofs of the late 1800s. With the brilliant style as here, early strikesare the only ones that show any kind of cameo contrast.This expertly preserved superb GEM shows remarkable surface quality. Deeply mirrored liquid mercury fields contrast with the frosty reliefs.Only 193 were struck. PCGS 0, NGC 4. There are nonefiner. In non-cameo, PCGS has graded 2 as PR67, NGC has graded 5, with a PR67+ finest. The most recentPR67 in any designation to sell was a non-CAM back inFebruary 2000. The highest grade to sell in recent timeswas an NGC PR66 that sold in March 2011 for $17,250.Since no PR67 CAM has been in auction ever. If you are looking for a superb high grade PR $2.50 Lib this is an important opportunity. PCGS # 87928 | EST: $26,000+ LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM

LOT 442 $2.50 1904 PCGS PR64 DCAM Deep black mirrors contrast very nicely with the frosted gold reliefs. Overall very pleasing to the eye. Close inspection reveals a single hairline scratch on the obverse, otherwise the surfaces are problem free and quite nice. As far as classic proof gold, this is a relatively available issue, but not in DCAM, in fact, this coin is tied for second finest graded at PCGS in the DCAM category. In the early 1900s the mint changed the way they polished dies for proof coinage, polishing both the fields and the devices which makes the entire surface reflective, unlike the earlier PR gold coins that had the recesses of the dies (reliefs) protected so they would remain frosty. A DCAM on a 1904 is a rare treat indeed! Only 140 proof quarter eagles were struck. PCGS 2, NGC 2. There is a single PCGS DCAM finer, a 64+. NGC has graded a half dozen examples finer, a trio called PR68 Ultra Cameo. The finest example to sell in recent times is the PR64+ DCAM CAC that realized $12,925 in May 2016. A PCGS PR64 DCAM sold for $8,813 in the 2016 ANA auction. The CU value is $11,000. A nice coin that should see some spirited bidding. PCGS # 97930 | EST: $8,000+258

LOT 443 $2.50 1913 PCGS MS66This is a true SUPERB GEM for the date. It has been to CAC and we think the day it went in the graders were simply in a foul mood (they rarely change their minds too). We do rank this coin as good or better than all other 1913’s we have seen. Most important, this is a genuinely clean coin. Thesurfaces are satiny smooth. The dreaded right reverse is clean-that is something you rarely see. A moderate luster enhances the very pretty, original pale two tone gold/pinkish gold colors. The are no discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is fabulous! PCGS 8, NGC 5. PCGS has only one MS66+ higher.The last PCGS MS66 to sell in auction brought $28,200 in a November 2013 auction. That speaks volumesabout this coin’s unquestionable rarity. With the marketbeing off from the 2008-2010 highs, now is a great timeto upgrade or build a set of these. Opportunity knocks way too loud here! PCGS # 7945 | EST: $15,000+LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM 259

LOT 444 $3 1871 PCGS MS63 A rare $3 gold piece, and a very alluring example. Highly lustrous surfaces show a bold PL cameo like appearance when rotated in a light at certain angles, and they become satiny with much mint frost. The devices are exceptionally bold and crisply struck and are fully struck. A small abrasion in the obverse field is noted but unless using a strong loupe, it is not distracting. Only 1,300 were struck. PCGS 10, NGC 7. There has not been a PCGS graded example coin since August 2012 where one sold for $9,400. The current PCGS price is listed at $12,500. Despite not being CAC, this coin has a great look. A great example for a choice $3 set, or a more interesting coin to include in a type set. PCGS # 7993 | EST: $8,000+260

LOT 445 261 $3 1872 PCGS MS64 CAC VERY HIGH END quality, with spectacular eye appeal!Very RARE, only 2,000 were struck, and this near-GEM is among the four highest graded by PCGS. Highly reflective luster displays nearly fully PL mirrors. At first glance, the reverse looks like a proof. The strike is razor sharp; all the details in the wreath, feathers, etc are crisply defined. Clearly an early strike from these dies. The gold color ranges from medium gold to rich honey-orange.PCGS 3, NGC 4, CAC 2. The last MS64 sold in February 2011 (a PCGS/CAC coin that realized $32,200; the month earlier, an NGC/CAC coin sold for $37,375. The only finer example to sell in auction was the D. Brent Pogue coin that sold in a very low point in the marketcycle, in February 2016. That non-CAC MS65+ realized $37,600. In MS64, the CU price is listed at $32,500. This lovely coin will certainly bring a strong price when this coin sells. The $3 gold series is a wonderfully challenging one to specialize in. Replete with rarities, it is a specialty that few attempt, which keeps prices relatively reasonable.

This is one of the underrated rarities,a certified Mint State piece has NEVER sold in auction. Even looking at the PCGS auction archives, even an uncertified MS coin is not listed. The closest coin to this one selling was a PCGS AU58+ that is clearly a different coin, that sold for $32,900 in the 2016 ANA auction.

Do not let the embarrassment of riches that the 2015 ANA auction provided with TWO examples, a the Norweb-Trompeter NGC PR64 UCAM CAC which realized $32,900 and a PR65* UCAM which realized $35,250. These majestic rarities do not appear with much frequency, and when they do, collectors should not let the opportunity pass them by. PCGS # 98486 | EST: $34,000+268

LOT 456 269 $5 1892 PCGS PR65 DCAM EX BAREFORD An amazingly rare PR $5, one of only 92 struck and perhaps as many as 30 known today in all grades, including a number impounded in institutional collections and impaired pieces. Deep, black mirrors reflect the light as a freshly cut sheet of ice. This date typically has weakness in the centers, a trait observed on most denominations and is common among PR $5s. This GEM hails from the famed Harold Bareford Collection, one of the classic collections built in the 1930s-1950s and sold in several sales in the late 1970s and early 1980s. There are a couple of minor, microscopic lines thatappear when the light hits the coin at various angles, but are not seen head on. David Akers noted that1892 PR $5s are “less often seen than proofs of some dates with lower mintages.” PCGS 1, NGC 0. In DCAM, PCGS has graded onlytwo specimens higher. In August 1999, the sale of theWalter Childs Collection had an example that graded PCGS PR65 that sold for a resounding $54,050, and and that level stood as a record until the Trompeter NGC PR66 UCAM CAC sold for the same amount inthe 2015 ANA auction. The Collectors Universe value is listed at $47,500. This GEM will certainly appeal to the serious collector. Walter Breen, and others,referred to Proof Gold as “the caviar of numismatics” and it is not hard to understand what makes theseincredibly rare coins so desireable. With its wonderful eye appeal, and great provenance, this coin willsurely find a welcome home in any advanced cabinet. PCGS # 98487 | EST: $40,000+ LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM

Like most $5 Indians, the 10-D is very rare in MS65 grade, putting a lot of pressure on choice quality MS64s like the one offered here. PCGS 53, NGC 29, CAC 11. The last two CAC-approved PCGS MS64 coins to sell were back in March 2014, both selling for around $10,000.

Gold and silver, which had all but disappeared from daily commerce in 1861 and 62 continued to be hoarded, and even the lowlycopper-nickel cent was being hoarded to the point that countless 1-cent tokens had to be privately issued to facilitate everyday transactions. While the mintage of 142,790 double eagles was higher than the previousyear, it paled in comparison to the nearly 1 million $20s that the San Francisco mint churned out in 1863.

PCGS # 800066 | EST: $7,500+ LOT 513 1C-$1 1880 8-COIN PROOF SET Here is something you rarely see anymore: an intact early proof set. Our sister firm, Legend Numismatics used to call original early proof sets “the final frontier of numismatics” an area that was undervalued and underrated. In the old days, you could find original proof sets in auction with some frequency, especially in the days before grading and registry sets. Today, in an effort to maximize sales prices, if original sets are brought to market, they are instantly broken up. Some people will try and reassemble these sets to commemorate a relative’s birth year or some other event; but again, when the time comes to “cash in” the sets are broken up. Legend Rare Coin Auctions is pleased to offer this GEM 1880 Proof Set, which for the most part looks like it could have been together since time of minting. The set contains: This Proof Set is certainly worthy of a premium bid. The well matched coins are for the most part PQ and eye appealing. If you were to go out into the market and search for each individual coin to try and replicate the set, it would take years. The effort has all been done for you. The combined Collectors Universe value for the eight coins is $53,275, and in some cases, because of the amazing appeal, if offered individually, some of these GEMS would far exceed the assigned CU value. There are likely not many sets still out there “in the wild” so the presently offered SUPERB GEM 1880 PR Set should attract considerable bidding. Good luck! EST: $57,500+296
