Keep in mind that a coin could be either low or high end for the grade, have stunning color or be dull, all of which radically affect a coin’s value. Yes, there can be huge price differences within a grade, and we offer estimates as a guide so Collector’s can have a better idea of value. One thing we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to claim stronger sales. These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin Auctions determines to be an approximate high wholesale value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current market values, similar trades, auction prices, published prices, and a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are exactly what you can expect to get if you attempt to resell them wholesale. We always advise you to view the coins you are interested in and calculate what you’ll pay using as much information as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. We are here to help you! 101

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 250 $1 1895-S PCGS MS62+ CAC In the aftermath of the Panic of 1893, the mintages of silver dollars dropped dramatically. Every issue from 1893 to 1895 is considered either a KEY or semi-key date in the series. With a mintage of only 400,000, the 95-S is a semi-key that is scarce in Mint State grades. Flashy and brilliant lustrous surfaces beam from all over. Well struck devices do stand out, but there are a few bag marks which account for the grade, evenly distributed on the obverse, none of which are singularly distracting. Both sides are accented by a flashy, semi-reflective texture to the fields. The quality is above average for what you might expect for the grade level. PCGS 257, NGC 139, CAC 16.

It is hard to imagine a finer 03-O! A very strong cartwheel luster rolls along the exceptionally smooth and seductive surfaces. Ms. Liberty and the details offer fully struck and crisply defined devices. A pale silver-white iridescent tone attests to its unmolested originality. The oft-told story about this coin’s former rarity shows how things in the market can change instantaniously if a hoard is found. The 03-O was one of the rarest dates in mint state in the Morgan series, that was until the Treasury found a hoard of original bags in a vault, and released them into circulation in the early 1960s. Luckily today for collectors, it is a generally available date in most Mint State grades that has a neat historical story.” PCGS 91, NGC 49, CAC 24.

We do NOT know why CAC did not sticker this coin, but we do know CAC (as well as several other known toned experts-including us) all agree the toning is 100% original. Peter Max (the world-famous wild color artist) could not have created the patterns of color that coin has. Both the obverse and reverse have mind boggling rings of electric violet/amber/pearl green/lime/sky blue that open into white centers with some awesome gold sprays all over. Some might consider this bulls eye toning. This really is not a rare coin, its more like a wildly colored masterpiece you frame and put on your wall. We have never seen anything remotely close to these colors or the color pattern on a Peace Dollar before. There are no printed prices anywhere that would even be within 1000% of what this coin is worth. The value is totally in the colors. We sort of equate this to the runaway 50C 1958 PCGS MS67 CAC we just sold for $129,250.00. Its near impossible to figure its worth.

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.

Not only is it fully CHOICE, it has a superb look! Only a few trivial ticks and marks can be seen and they do not stand out-you really need a glass to see them. Indeed, they only show up because the surfaces are fully prooflike, and no, the prooflike mirrors are not from the conservation. Obviously several of these pieces were early strikes and there actually is a touch of contrast. Miss Liberty and the details have thick frosting and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is fabulous! This is the ONLY MS63+ from the wreck. In higher grades from the ship PCGS has graded only 7 more. It should be noted that regular MS63 pieces are a pop of 4. The Collector’s Universe Value for those is only $29,000, which seems very cheap to us; for this coin, Collector’s Universe suggests a value of $32,500, which again, seems cheap. The historic importance of this shipwreck on American history really should add a strong premium! PCGS# 670803 | ESTIMATE: $35,000+130

Housed in the original gold foil holder with cert # 6382.This is a sharply struck example with bold details on both sides. The initial eye appeal is of a higher grade coin for sure. There is a strong eye appeal especially for a coin of this grade, that often does not possess so much surviving luster. There are some minor marks, easy to forgive on a coin that was lightly circulated before going down with the ship. PCGS 151, NGC 182. Cert# 6386, also AU53 sold in June 2011 for $6,900, and that appears to be the most recent example to sell in auction.

Central America and housed in the original gold foil slab with cert# 5304.Very high end for the assigned grade, there is just the slightest hint of friction on the highly lustrous surfaces. There is a bold luster that still survives in the fields and has a distinctive reflective texture that you just do not often see on a no motto double eagle in 53. There is some shipwreck residue on the reverse, showing how mildly conserved these were when they were brought up off the ocean floor. There are a few minor marks, but nothing you would not expect for a mildly circulated early double eagle. PCGS 288, NGC 192. As a shipwreck coin, the market value exceeds that of the PCGS price, the most recent APR we can find for an ex S.S.C.A. AU53 was in June 2015, where one sold for $4,700. Very much worthy of any collection of double eagles or a specialized collection of shipwreck gold coins. What a neat and historic relic!

The devices are very sharply struck up and have a great look, despite the small scuffs and ticks. The eye appeal really is very nice for the grade. The Broken A is clearly a scarcer variant of 57-S. The number graded pales in comparison to the Spike Shield varieties which made up a large number of double eagles recovered. PCGS 83, NGC 8. PCGS has graded 8 from this variety in MS60. No MS60 has sold in auction before. The current PCGS value is listed at $5,600. This is a much better looking coin than the grade might suggest. A very neat coin for any gold collector.

Having a rich orange-gold color that comes to life with the radiating, glowing, incandescent luster. The strike is razor sharp, and the eye appeal is not marred by the few tiny ticks that can be seen. You might imagine that a coin that sank to the bottom of the ocean would have been much more hacked up. This one is not and the look is great! PCGS 1087, NGC 103 in all designations.

THE SHIP OF GOLD COLLECTION LOT 285 $20 1857-S PCGS MS67 CAC EX S.S. CENTRAL AMERICA Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer this magnificent and extremely historical SUPERB GEM Type 1 $20. We shake our heads in bewilderment that this coin actually sat on the ocean floor for so many years and survived in an unheard of condition like this defies logic! We consider this coin to be a legit MS67.9+! We can not imagine a finer Type 1 Double Eagle could ever exist (none do).Clearly this is one of the FINEST Type 1 Double Eagles that exists! Unbelievable surfaces are exactly that. Even using a strong glass and skimming the satiny surfaces for a few minutes will yield you NO imperfections-not even tiny ones. A full glowing luster beams boldly from all over. Both sides have a crisp and deeper orange gold on the rims that opens into lighter yellow gold centers. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and every detail are frosty and are fully struck. The eye appeal is jaw dropping and then some! For this group from the wreck, the PCGS pop is 3 with just the + as higher. The pre 2014 dive pop is PCGS 8, NGC 0. CAC has beaned a total of only 3 coins. Our sister firm, Legend Numismatics, has sold one MS67 from the original batch and one from this new batch. There is this coin, another and the MS67+ (for crazy money) that are the only MS67’s available. ALL coins are now graded and are accounted for. Prior to this wreck being discovered, there was no such thing as even an MS64! Clearly this is a once in a life time opportunity. PCGS# 670713 | ESTIMATE: $165,000+134

THE SHIP OF GOLD COLLECTIONLOT 286$20 1853 U.S.A.O.G. 900 FINE. PCGS AU58+ CACEX S.S. CENTRAL AMERCIA.The U.S. Assay Office of Gold essentially operated asa provisional U.S. mint from 1851 to 1853, first underthe supervision of Moffat & Co and Augustus Humbert,then under Curtis, Perry, and Ward after Moffat retired inearly 1852. With their strong reputation, the U.S.A.O.G.churned out millions of coins, according to Kagin, fromMarch 1853 to October 1853, about 2.5 million werestruck. This K-18 variety was struck from a large numberof dies, which were destroyed during the Great Fire of1906. While the mintage was very large, many of these$20 gold pieces were returned to the mint and melted,then restruck into federal issued double eagles.This is a great example of a very popular type that reallyshould be considered a federally issued coin. While morethan four years had passed between the time the coin wasstruck and the S.S. Central America sank, the presentcoin saw virtually no circulation. We highly believe thatit was in the pocket of some poor soul who went intothe turbulent, storm tossed waters in September 1857,perhaps as a good luck charm. Both sides show a full,glowing, satiny lustrous frost that rolls uninterruptedacross the obverse. Sharply struck up devices show fulldefinition in all of the details. This large coin is devoidof any major scuffs or scrapes. The eye appeal of thisawesome territorial is very high end!The Ship Wreck had a PCGS pop of 4 in AU58+ and only4 coins higher. In regular NON Ship Wreck, the PCGSAU58+ pop is zero. We estimate CAC has beaned only2 in AU58+ (and we have the other). It should be notedthe last PCGS AU58 (no +) CAC piece to sell in auctionbrought $13,200 in April 2018, and that coin did not havethe cache of being from this historic ship wreck.PCGS# 675717 | ESTIMATE: $18,000+ 135

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 287 G$1 1849-D PCGS MS62 CAC This is a great coin for the gold coin collector. The gold dollar was authorized in 1849, and the first year of issue in Dahlonega, saw a fairly generous mintage of 21,588, making this the most available in Mint State (although they are quite scarce). PCGS CoinFacts estimates 35 Mint State coins survive, which is probably on the lower side, as there are more certified examples than that.The presently offered coin is almost fully Prooflike on the obverse and the reverse is a little more frosty. The devices are sharply struck and Longacre’s Liberty Head is frosted and stands out with a cameo-like appeal. Struck from clashed and cracked dies, this beauty has a very high end and totally original look. Very rare any finer, this MS62 looks better than the grade would suggest and will be a delightful addition to any set! PCGS 30, NGC 30, CAC 6. We think there is quite a bit of duplication in the population reports, where coins have been cracked and crossed and their tags not returned. Based on auction appearances, there are probably less than 50 individual examples in 62. Four PCGS/CAC coins have sold in the $6,169 to $11,163 range, with the last two bringing $8,2252 and $7,500. The current Collector’s Universe value of $7,400 reflects the lower prices that non-CAC coins have sold for. This coin is truly worthy of a strong bid and will delight any collector of Southern branch gold. PCGS# 7507 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+ LOT 288 G$1 1851-D PCGS XF45 CAC While the mintage was only 9,882, the 51-D gold dollar is one of the more available dates in the series. That said, many 51-D’s have been cleaned, damaged, or conserved that are not as visually alluring as the present CHOICE XF. Graded ages ago, and encapsulated in a first generation PCGS slab, a wealth of luster survives in the protected areas. Light wear can be seen on the highest points of the obverse, but the details are bold and crisp. Rich orange-gold patina graces both sides and we see only a light mark in the obverse field, which we note for accuracy. The eye appeal is excellent for the assigned grade. PCGS 12, NGC 4, CAC 1. There is a record for a PCGS/CAC coin selling for $2,185 in 2011, but that is not this coin. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,600, and this coin is totally fresh to the market and worthy of a strong bid! PCGS#7515 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+136

More recently PCGS/CAC coins sold in the $3,000-$3,760 range. Clearly the current Collector’s Universe value is negatively affected by low APRs for non-CAC coins.

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 291 G$1 1887 PCGS MS68 CAC At first glance, this coin looks like a Proof! In our opinion, this coin is closer to a 69, than a 68. Really! Remarkable deep mirrors beam boldly from all over. The mirrors are ultra clean and have amazing clarity. The pop/flash is intense. When you twirl this coin all you see are rolling mirrors and nearly blinding flash. Still hard to believe it is MS and not a proof. Both sides enjoy a gorgeous and totally original yellow gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and every detail are needle sharp in strike. They have frost so thick it looks like it was carved from a frosted block of polished gold. The eye appeal is totally jaw dropping! PCGS 4, NGC 4, CAC 5. The last PCGS MS68 CAC to sell in auction brought $35,250 in August 2015. We can see this monster of a GEM bringing that or more today!

While “common” in terms of Dahlonega quarter eagles, it is rare in AU58 and VERY rare in Mint State. Just a touch of friction on the highest points and in the semi-reflective luster in the fields. Satiny throughout, the strike is strong and contrasts with the richness of the orange gold color. There are a few minor marks, the most serious of which is seen on the reverse. PCGS 21, NGC 44. The most recent example sold in August 2015 for $4,994 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at$5,000. Prior to that, one sold for $6,325. Only 22 coins are graded finer at PCGS.

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 294 $2.50 1848 CAL. PCGS MS62+ CAC140 LRCA is proud to offer this almost once in a lifetime amazing coin. Between us and our sister company Legend Numismatics, we have only seen two others total in our 40+ year career in Mint State (and one was the MS68 we badly regret not buying many years ago). In addition to being ultra-rare, this coin is a no question SUPER HIGH END piece. Amazing prooflike surfaces catch your attention unexpectedly. The surfaces are remarkably clean and smooth. Only if you use a strong glass can you find a few light lines and a small tick on the lower right obverse. Nothing stands out. The mirrors beam from all over and actually are highly reflective. No question this coin is original and never has been messed with. Miss Liberty and every detail has been fully struck and stands out. The CAL is amazing to see. There actually is slight contrast on this coin too. The eye appeal is exceptional! An incredibly historic and important coin, a classic in the the annals of American numismatics. After gold was discovered in the America River in California in 1848 near Sutter’s Mill, 228 ounces were sent back east in December of that year by the military governor, Col. R.B. Mason, directed to the Secretary of War, William Marcy. The gold was to be used to strike gold medals for General Zachary Taylor and General Winfield Scott--any remaining metal was to be used to strike quarter eagles, with “CAL.” stamped in the field to recognize the historical significance of the source of the gold, resulting in a mintage of 1,389 pieces. The gold rush that ensued created one of the largest mass migrations in history, and changed the course of not just American history, but also world history. PCGS 7, NGC 3, CAC 1. This is the ONLY MS62+-and the ONLY MS62 that is CAC. In MS63 PCGS has graded 3 with 3 beans (where heck are they) and 5 in MS64-NONE beaned and of course the sick MS68-which would bean. In true Mint State you have very few to choose from. That is why cleaned AU58’s sell for as much as $75,000 -there are no Mint State pieces to be found. It is our strong opinion, this coin is a once in a few years piece. Think hard to when the last time was you saw ANY Mint State piece especially one that was CAC. Opportunity knocks loud here!

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 297 $2.50 1876 PCGS PR67 DCAM142 We can unhesitatingly call this SUPERB 1876 quarter eagle as the FINEST KNOWN. Truly a treasure of the centennial year, a coin that is always popular among collectors. Only 45 Proofs were struck, more than double that of the 1875 and 1877; but these appear about as often in auction; John Dannreuther opines that perhaps in celebration of the centennial, non-numismatic buyers bought Proofs from the mint, and they were not cared for in the same way those bought by collectors were, so today, about 20-25 are thought to survive in all grades. The deep beaming mirrors and stunning ultra cameo contrast arrest the viewer’s gaze from a mile away. Traces of orange-peel texture in the fields remain, suggesting that this was a somewhat later strike when the initial finish on the dies wore off. The mirrors are deep and bold, with a clarity that is uninterrupted by any lines. A very powerful glass reveals a couple of natural, mint made planchet flakes that do not detract from the simply stunning and SUPERB eye appeal. The devices are razor sharp in strike and are fully frosted, which developed the exciting cameo contrast that is about as complete as can be imagined. This coin is so beautifully preserved it can be called a miracle. PCGS 1, NGC 1. Obviously the majority of ALL Proof Liberty Head quarter eagles in SUPERB grades are from the 1890s and 1900. For a major RARITY like this, you cannot look at type prices. The Collector’s Universe value is listed at $120,000. This is an AMAZING opportunity for any advanced collector!
