THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 309 $2.50 1908 PCGS PR67150 Representing the first major Quarter Eagle design change since 1840, only 236 Proofs were struck in 1908. The surfaces on this SUPERB GEM are virtually perfect, with the classic mustard hue and finely granular matte surface undisturbed! A high fin or wire edge is seen around most of the coin, both obverse and reverse. An absolutely extraordinary example of this rare Proof coin. The matte surface is completely different from anything done at the Philadelphia Mint before. Up until this time proof coins had always been “shiny”, with the fields offering mirror reflectivity and the devices offset by frosted texture. Here on this 1908 Quarter Eagle the fields and devices were completely uniform in color and texture. A strong loupe reveals minute interlocking facets that create the “sandblast” texture and appearance. When examined under a light, these facets flash and twinkle like a galaxy of stars! Of course this radical change, introduced at other world Mints soon after 1900, was met with stiff resistance in America, as collectors had grown used to the bright and flashy proofs of the past. Hence sales declined year after year starting in 1909 through the end of Proof production. Today with the benefit of time and artistic appreciation, modern collectors highly covet these exceptional matte proof coins, especially when they are found so perfectly preserved! PCGS 6, NGC 29 The last one sold for $40,800 in the recent ANA auction. Prior to that, we sold one in our September 2015 Regency Auction for $58,750. Even a non-CAC 66+ sold in February for $42,888. The current PCGS value is listed at $55,000 and this one should bring a bid near that, as it possesses an AMAZING look. NONE are graded finer at PCGS, making this a real prize for anyone building a set of Matte Proof Indian Heads, or wanting an example for a type set! PCGS# 7957 | ESTIMATE: $55,000+

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 310$2.50 1909 PCGS PR65 CACLRCA is honored to have the chance to offer a real GEMexample of one of the rarest Proof Indians that exist. wemarvel every time we look at this coin. No question thiscoin is SUPER HIGH END too.Outstanding surfaces are evenly covered by a pure Romanfinish. There are NO defects or shiny spots to be found.After examining it closely with a strong glass we see noreason why PCGS just graded it a PR 65. We can’t everpromise it will grade higher, but this coin certainly looksmuch better than its current grade. The surfaces are adeep original Roman gold color. There are ZERO spots orimperfections. If you ever want to see what the dreadedreverse right field should look like-check this coin out.Every detail is pinpoint sharp in strike. The eye appeal isphenomenal!Only 139 were minted. PCGS 3, NGC 9, CAC 1. PCGShas graded only 1 coin higher (a 66+) but CAC has beanednone. It is our extreme opinion that ALL pricing guides areplain wrong. They have thrown imaginary numbers out fora coin that last possibly appeared in 2006! So we call thecurrent Collectors Universe value ridiculous. We’re surethis date and grade is a hole in all sets. Considering afterall the years now CAC has been in business, and this isstill the lone CAC piece, that is tremendous proof as to itsextreme rarity. We can see this as a six figure coin. All wecan say to prospective bidders, don’t think cheap and beprepared to bid strong! Good luck, it is unlikely you willget another chance any time soon!PCGS# 7958 | ESTIMATE: $80,000+ 151

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 311 $2.50 1910 PCGS PR66+ CAC152 A majestic example of this very popular Proof Indian $2.50. The quality is off the charts, and the eye appeal is simply stunning. NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE NGC PR66+ CAC that we sold in May 2018. Ranking among the TOP THREE graded at PCGS, this coin has all the hallmarks of a SUPERB GEM! The delicate satin finish is totally intact, uninterrupted by any surface disturbance or flaw that we can see with our powerful loupes. Every detail is fully embossed in the surfaces, and crisply defined throughout the incuse design. The rich, totally original orange-gold color is as fresh and pleasing as the day it came off the dies. The mintage of 1910 Proof quarter eagles was reported at 682, a whopping sum for any Proof gold coin. It is said that many of these may have been spent by their owners as no 1910 circulation strike quarter eagles were produced until the end of the year. Obviously the number of coins that went into circulation, or melted as unsold were never taken out, or there could have been a mistake in reporting. The current combined PCGS and NGC populations come to about 200 pieces, and the recent Proof Gold reference by John Dannreuther suggests that 90-110 survive. PCGS 12, NGC 31, CAC 14. This is the SOLE PR66+ graded at PCGS, and there are two at NGC. The ONLY PR66+ to sell was the coin mentioned above, graded by NGC in our May 2018 Regency Auction, that realized $43,475. A PCGS/CAC PR66 (no +) sold for $45,825 in March 2016. The most recent non-CAC PCGS PR67 sold for $64,625 in the 2015 FUN auction. The current PCGS value is listed at $52,500, but this coin will surpass that amount when it crosses the block; it is SUPERB, and will certainly attract huge attention from specialists. Good luck finding a better one in a PCGS/CAC holder! PCGS# 7959 | ESTIMATE: $50,000+

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 312$3 1860-S PCGS AU53 CACThis is one of the rarest and most UNDERrated dates in better grades (AU and higher).The quality of this coin is VERY HIGHEND! Overall, the surfaces appear clean.Only with a strong glass can you find ascattered tiny tick or two along with a lightold cut on the face. Nothing is major orstands out. A surprising luster mixes withsemi-prooflike mirrors and beams boldlyfrom all over. That is unusual for a 60-S. Bothsides are an original deep gold/orange color.There are NO spots or discolorations. MissLiberty and the details are well struck and dohave strong frost. The eye appeal is fantastic!PCGS 12, NGC 12, CAC 3. The last PCGS AU 53 to sell in auction brought $5,875 in December 2015-a long time ago! The currentCollectorís Universe Value is $7,900. We expect this beautiful coin to bring closer to the CU value.PCGS# 7981 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ LOT 313 $3 1874 PCGS MS64+ CAC Exquisite! This “common” $3 is anything but in GEM grade. This 64+ is oh so close to GEM quality and we have seen coins in 65 holders that look the same. We think PCGS got this one 100% right! The luster is blistering in its fiery brilliance. The dramatic satin sheen grabs the viewer from accross the room. Up close, the radial luster rolls along with a superb vibrance. Impressive striking definition on both sides, the dies imparted full details with an exacting blow. The glowing fields are marred by just the most microscopic ticks that are only visable using a strong glass, but none of these have any affect on the exceptional eye appeal. PCGS 106, NGC 74, CAC 25. PCGS has graded just 9 in MS64+, the most recent of which sold in March 2014 in an online onlyauction for $8,250. More recently a regular MS64/CAC sold for $11,400 in March 2018 and a PCGS MS65 CAC sold in November 2017 for $12,000. We know the current PCGS value is too low for this coin! A great example for the date or type! PCGS# 7998 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+LOT 314$3 1878 PCGS MS64The $3 gold series is full of low mintage issues, leaving only a fewdates that in Mint State, are considered type coins, and the 1878 isone of them. This one is a pleasing deep orange-gold with hints ofrose and steely blue. Well struck and very eye appealing, there arejust the slightest of tiny ticks noted under close scrutiny. Bold andsatiny, this coin has a great look!PCGS 788, NGC 438. The most recent PCGS-graded coin to sellbrought $4,800 in the recent ANA auction, and the current PCGSvalue is listed at $4,850. This original coin should find itself at homein a nice gold type set.PCGS# 8000 | ESTIMATE: $3,800+ 153

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 315 $3 1888 PCGS PR66+ CAM CAC WOW, WOW, WOW! The WOW factor here is off the charts! What a stunning HIGH-END GEM this coin is. It is tied for FINEST graded by PCGS in the CAMEO category. Intense deep mirrors blaze from all over; they have sensational clarity, cleanliness, and have the ultimate in reflection. When you twirl the coin, the mirrors roll like a river of molten gold. The contrast is mind boggling too! Some light gold toning can be seen on the reverse. There is NO haze here. Miss Liberty and every detail are thickly frosted and are fully struck. The eye appeal is spectacular! 291 were struck. PCGS 8, NGC 9, CAC 5. PCGS has graded only 2 in PR66+ CAM and NONE ARE FINER in the designation!. The current Collectorís Universe value is $65,000. With so little GEM PCGS CAC gold around, we can see this coin easily selling for that. We know at the major shows we have attended this year; Proof Gold certainly was not anything we saw much of at all! PCGS# 88052 | ESTIMATE: $57,500+154

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 316$5 1795 SMALL EAGLE PCGS MS62 CACBD-3. If all 1795 $5 looked like this, they’d be $250,000coins. We think so much of this coin we even put it onthe cover of this saleís catalog! The quality is as SUPERHIGH END as you get. We wonder if it had been sent toPCGS on a bad day. We know that our sister companythinks extremely highly of this coin, as when it was last inauction, they were the underbidder. They graded it MS62+(we make no promises).Remarkable surfaces appear clean and smooth to the nakedeye. When using a strong glass you can see light linesand some scattered ticks. NONE stand out in any way.The surfaces are slightly semi prooflike too. A surprisingstrong glowing luster beams boldly from all over. There isactually light cameo contrast on both sides. Miss Libertyand every detail look amazing. They are thickly frosted andare strong strikes. The eye appeal is like everything elseabout this coin phenomenal!PCGS 28, NGC 22, CAC 3. It is important to note: thelast PCGS auction record was for a NON-CAC piece thatbrought $120,000. A PCGS CAC piece has not sold since2012-according to our records. The current CollectorísUniverse Value is $135,000. This coin really is far superiorto almost all 1795’s in MS62. We have seen MS63’s thatlook worse! This coin will make a fantastic addition toANY choice set! You can’t buy a stunning SUPER HIGHEND coin like this cheap.PCGS# 8066 | ESTIMATE: $120,000+ 155

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 317 $5 1800 PCGS AU58 CAC BD-5, a moderately scarce variety rated as R-3+ in the Bass Dannreuther reference. This is a great looking slider early $5. The surfaces seem to be totally unmessed with and unmolested. Natural, honey gold with nice overtones of olive-green and orange-gold stand out when the satin sheen is brought out in a light. Both sides display the slightest hint of friction on the surfaces. The strike is bold throughout with strong definition to the devices. A few ancient, miniscule, stray marks are acceptable for a 218 year old gold coin that saw brief use in circulation. PCGS 49, NGC 69, CAC 20. Many have been conserved, cleaned, or are otherwise not original. The most recent PCGS/CAC example to sell via auction was back in the 2016 ANA auction bringing $13,513 and the current PCGS value is listed at $14,500. Scarce in all grades, even more so in CHOICE AU and finer. A great type coin for any collector wanting an affordable and high end example LOT 318 PCGS# 8082 | ESTIMATE: $12,500+ $5 1803/2 NGC XF45 CAC BD-3. A scarce R-4 variety, this one presents very nicely. Light wear has not taken away all vestiges of the original mint luster, including some reflective accents that survive in the protected areas of the devices. There are some light friction lines and a few ticks, all appropriate for an early $5 in this XF45 grade. PCGS 31, NGC 13, CAC 7. The most recent NGC/CAC coin to sell in auction brought $8,700 in February 2018 and the current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $10,250. CAC approved early gold is quite scarce and always in demand! PCGS# 8084 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ LOT 319 $5 1803/2 NGC AU58 BD-1, considered to be R-4 with perhaps 150-200 known in all grades. Pleasing khaki gold color with ample olive accents that grace both sides. Generally attractive with hints of original bloom that come out in the protected areas of the nicely struck devices. Some old friction can be seen with a glass. The reverse was struck from a later die state with a number of bold die cracks that transect that side. PCGS 77, NGC 88. The last AU58 to sell was a PCGS coin that brought $10,800. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $14,500. A nice collector example of this early $5--perfect for a type or date collection. PCGS# 8084 | ESTIMATE: $11,000+156

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 320$5 1811 BD-2. SMALL 5. PCGS MS64 CACThis coin really is super HIGH END! We truly loveeverything about this near miss GEM!Remarkable surfaces are pretty clean and smooth to thenaked eye. Only using a strong glass can you see a fewmicroscopic ticks and a frost break or two. We assureyou, there is very little holding this coin back from FULLGEM MS65 status. There even are very faint traces ofsemi-prooflike mirrors towards the centers. The luster isunusually strong and beams vividly from all over. Bothsides have unquestionable and totally original “skin”colors of deep yellow gold/orange gold (by the date) andfaint greenish gold on the reverse. There are NO spots ordiscolorations anywhere. Miss Liberty and every detail arefrosted and are sharply struck. The eye appeal isfully wonderful!PCGS 17, NGC 12, CAC 8. The last one to sell in auctionbrought $46,201 in April 2018. Prior that PCGS/CAC coinsold in July 2013 for $64,625. The current PCGS PriceGuide value is listed at $57,500 and there are only four coinsmarginally finer, graded MS64+ at PCGS. This coin is agreat coin for a type or date set of early gold. One look andyou will love this near-GEM as much as we do!PCGS# 8109 | ESTIMATE: $45,000+ 157

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 321 $5 1836 PCGS MS64 CAC This is a gorgeous Classic Head half eagle! As a type, these rarely come so fine. The short lived series, struck from 1834 to 1838, can be quite the challenge to collect in Choice Mint State, especially with a CAC bean. The Classic Head design by William Kneass is a transitional type, straddling the old tenor gold coins (1795-1834) and the long running Liberty head series. By the 1820s, the value of gold in the half eagle exceeded the $5 face value. The majority of the mintages were exported and melted, the profit pocketed. In 1834, the content of gold coins was changed, and the design changed. The Classic Head half eagle saw much more extensive circulation than the earlier types, so finding a CHOICE Mint State piece is indeed a challenge. The present coin has a great look. Sharply struck devices stand out with a strong definition, on both sides. The obverse die had broken by the time this one was struck with a bold bisecting die crack. The golden surfaces are frosty and offer a strong satin sheen to them, accented by a swirling cartwheel bloom. There are a few minor hints of contact, which are not serious and do not detract from the otherwise stunning eye appeal. This near-GEM is bested by perhaps as many as four coins graded at PCGS, making this one perfect for any high grade type set or specialized set of Classic Head fives. PCGS 16, NGC 7, CAC 3. The only PCGS/CAC coin to ever sell in auction realized $25,201 in June 2018. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $26,000. The Pogue coin was just marginally finer, graded MS64+. A GEM will cost $70,000+! Good luck! PCGS# 8174 | ESTIMATE: $22,000+158

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 322$5 1846-C PCGS AU55+ CACLooks are deceiving. At first glance we thought hiscoin was Uncirculated. No, we don’t need strongerglasses. The coin actually looks that good. It is HIGHEND for sure. Amazing surfaces are almost full MintState quality. Save for one small tick, the surfacesare super clean. The surfaces also have a thick satinytexture. A surprising luster beams vividly from allover. You can tell nothing has ever been done to thiscoin. Both sides are a wonderful and totally originaldeeper yellow gold color. The clear reason why this isnot an AU 58+, there is some weakness in the strikeon the eagleís neck. All other details are super frostyand are fully struck. The eye appeal is beyond exceptional especially since this is C mint!PCGS 7, NGC 12, CAC 3. This is the ONLY PCGS AU55+ graded. It has never been sold via auction. The consignor told us it is freshto the market. It should be known that the last AU55 sold in 2006! The rarity of this date and grade cannot be disputed. We think theCollectorís Universe estimate of $7,900 is way off as are all the AU values. If you collect C Mint $5 or just $5, this is a coin that will thrillyou. It belongs in a great collection!PCGS# 8227 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ LOT 323 $5 1846-D PCGS AU53 This is a rare AU survivor of this difficult date. PCGS CoinFacts estimates a survival of 140 examples in all grades, and David Akers and Doug Winter both observed that most survivors are VF or XF grade. This example shows just a few minor marks, the most noticeable is on Liberty’s cheek. A bright golden color shows ample surviving satiny luster in the fields. The devices are sharply struck up and the eye appeal is better than most you will see, as this date often comes highly abraded and many have been cleaned or otherwise impaired.PCGS 16, NGC 18. There has not been one sold in auction since October 2011, realizing $4,169. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $4,500. Rarely appearing in auction any finer, the last AU55 graded by PCGS sold in July 2006 and the last PCGS AU58 sold in March 2006! If you are collecting AU half eagles from the Dahlonega mint, be sure to bid on this one! PCGS# 8228 | ESTIMATE: $3,600+LOT 324$5 1850-D NGC AU55 CACHere is a highly collectible, and very scarce southern branch minthalf eagle. Anyone who has studied Dahlonega and Charlottemint gold coins knows that they are extremely hard to find inORIGINAL, uncleaned, dipped, and/or conserved condition. Thisis evidenced by the CAC population figures, as well as notes fromDavid Akers, Doug Winter, and other authorities. This nice AU55has a great look overall, with great orange-gold coloration withaccents of olive patination in the fields. Nicely struck up in mostplaces, there is just a touch of weakness, as usual at the right leftobverse periphery. There are some minor marks from its brief stay incommerce, none of which impede the wonderful eye appeal.PCGS 16, NGC 28, CAC 4. This coin sold for $6,000 in November 2017 before selling in April 2018 for $5,520.; as the ONLYCAC-approved AU55 to sell in auction, we think it really should sell for more; the current Collector’s Universe value is $6,500. Avery challenging issue that displays a look that even the pickiest of collectors will enjoy!PCGS# 8245 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+ 159

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 325 $5 1901 NGC MS66 Bright, shimmering with light yellow gold luster that gleams all over. Satiny-smooth surfaces are generally free from distraction and possess a great eye appeal. PCGS 19, NGC 25. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $2,520 in February 2018 and the current CU value is listed at $3,750. VERY RARE any finer. PCGS# 8402 | ESTIMATE: $2,800+ LOT 326 $5 1881 PCGS PR61 CAM This is a very affordable, and very pleasing for the more modest grade Proof Gold Rarity! Only 42 examples were struck, all delivered on March 26, 1881, and today, perhaps 16-20 survive in all grades, two of which are permanently impounded in institutional collections, one in the N.N.C. at the Smithsonian and one at the ANS. Rich, reflective mirrors survive despite the light mishandling. It is likely that someone unknowingly spent it, and shortly after, a sharp eyed collector recognized the different finish to the surfaces, saving it for posterity. There are a few minor nicks and lines, but the eye appeal is certainly aided by the bold mirror sheen and frosted devices that stand out with nice contrast. The eye appeal is much stronger than you might expect at this grade level. PCGS 1, NGC 0. We cannot trace this coin in auction, and it may be a coin that was purchased over the counter in a coin shop, graded, and held by the owner, before making its way into the marketplace. Proof Gold coins are the caviar of numismatics, and this important rarity is certainly in the budget range of most advanced collectors. If you never dreamed you could afford an earlier, larger denomination proof gold coin here is your opportunity. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $8,750, and this one should bring around that amount. PCGS# 88476 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+ LOT 327 $5 1908 INDIAN. NGC MS65 CAC A lovely GEM Indian Head half eagle! Anyone who has collected gold coins knows that these are VERY difficult to find in GEM. The present example has a nice light gold tone over highly lustrous surfaces. The incuse devices are deeply impressed into the planchet, offering full definition of all the details. A strong glass reveals a tiny tick or two, but none that are distracting. Even the dreaded field above the eagle is clean! How rare is that! PCGS 237, NGC 111, CAC 50. The last two NGC/CAC coins to sell realized $9,600, one was in our April 2018 Premier Session and the other in a June 2018 auction. The prices for CAC coins are much higher than those for non-CAC and this is one series where it does make a huge difference! PCGS# 8510 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+160

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 328$5 1910-S PCGS MS64Despite a mintage of 770,200, this is a VERY RARE datein MS64 and is excessively so any finer. with fewer than 10graded higher at PCGS.The present near-GEM 10-S half eagle is very high endfor the grade and has a great orange-gold glow. Satinybrilliance brings out the details in the fully rendered incusedevices. The fields are generally very clean and free ofanything more than a few tiny ticks seen with a strongglass. The eye appeal is very nice.PCGS 20, NGC 18. The last PCGS coin without CACapproval sold in 2007. The most recent example sold inSeptember 2018 for $36,500. This is not the NGC coin thatsold in the 2018 FUN auction. The current PCGS PriceGuide value is listed at $40,000. This date is excessivelyrare any finer, with just nine coins so graded. This coinpresents an important opportunity for the Indian Head halfeagle collector looking for a high grade example for theirset. We know this coin will see intense bidding. Good luck!PCGS# 8519 | ESTIMATE: $25,000+ 161

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 329 $5 1913 PCGS MS64 CAC Beautiful and totally original, this Indian Head half eagle has a great look. Housed in a first generation PCGS slab, this coin is satiny and exceptionally well struck; a few microscopic marks kept it from grading higher. PCGS 620, NGC 435, CAC 104. The most recent CAC example was sold for $2,145 in our June 2018 Premier Session. The bid for CAC-approved coins is $2,200. Good luck! PCGS# 8525 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+ LOT 330 $5 1914-D PCGS MS64+ CAC A very pleasing example of the type or the date. Only 247,000 were stuck and precious few survive in GEM, making a 64+ like this a great option for most collectors. Rich, totally original golden surfaces have a warm lustrous glow. The incuse devices are sharp and essentially fully impressed. Both sides show some very minor ticks, but they are accounted for in the assigned grade and the eye appeal is wonderful. PCGS 297, NGC 254, CAC 47. PCGS has graded 40 in MS64+ and only 16 in MS65, making us think that there is a good number of resubmissions of the same coin in hopes of getting a 65 grade. The last PCGS to sell was not CAC and realized $4,700 in June 2017. A CAC approved example sold in August 2016 for $7,873. The current CU value is listed at $6,100, and remember the value jumps to $20,000+ in 65--if you can find one, there has not been one sold in nearly 6 years! PCGS# 8528 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ LOT 331 $5 1914-S PCGS AU55 CAC With just a touch of rub in the fields, this pleasing AU has all the hallmarks of a PQ example. Good glossy luster and nicely preserved surfaces show no serious marks. PCGS 134, NGC 254, CAC 8. This PQ example should bring well in excess of the current CU value of $785, and the only CAC-approved example to sell was NGC-graded and brought $718 in a January 2017 internet only auction. PCGS# 8529 | ESTIMATE: $800+162

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 332$5 1913 PCGS PR66+ CACWhat an amazing PQ Matte Proof. Everything about thiscoin SCREAMS quality and eye appeal. We are so proud tooffer this important rarity in this auction!From an original mintage of just 99, all delivered on January13, 1913, perhaps a total of 60-75 survive today, whichinclude those impounded in institutional collections suchas the Smithsonian and American Numismatic Society.PCGS and NGC have combined graded 52 examples andlikely includes duplication. This one is tied for second finestgraded at PCGS.Awesome orange-gold coloration is the epitome oforiginality. Sharply struck devices are impressively pressedinto the planchet. The sand blast finish leaves the surfaceswith thousands of sparkling facets. A strong glass revealsperhaps one or two minor lines that do not detract and canonly be seen at certain angles and we mention this only forfull disclosure.PCGS 11, NGC 11, CAC 10. There are 3 listed in 66+ onthe population report, but it is doubtful that three separateexamples exist. Only 3 are graded finer. This is NOT the onethat sold in the 2017 ANA auction. The current Collector’sUniverse value is listed at $79,500 and while PCGS hasgraded 3 finer, all PR67, none have sold in nearly a dozenyears!

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 333 $5 1914 PCGS PR67 CAC What an honor it is for LRCA to offer this stunning beauty! This is such an impressive SUPERB GEM Matte Proof Half Eagle. Tied for second FINEST graded, and one look at this AMAZING coin, and you can easily see why! This is a very RARE date, from an original mintage of only 125, and perhaps today, around 60-75 survive in all grades. Keep in mind that at least three examples are permanently impounded in museum collections. The matte surfaces are wonderful with their fine, sand blast texture; the thousands of tiny facets sparkle when they are hit by the light. It is also totally original showing off a great, olive gold color with rich tan overtones. This is not your typical bright yellow conserved example that has lost all of its original character. Every detail is sharply struck and the eye appeal cannot be beat. For the advanced collector of 20th century gold, this amazing coin presents a very rare bidding opportunity. PCGS 2, NGC 5, CAC 2. ONLY a single PCGS PR67 CAC has ever sold in auction, realizing $111,625 in November 2015. There is a single PCGS PR68 CAC that sold in March 2017 for nearly $250,000. This coin has a SUPERB stunning look, that will delight even the most jaded of collectors--we have had a hard time putting it down--you will too! After 30+ years of operations, the fact PCGS has only graded two examples this high and one finer speaks volumes to the rarity of this date and the infrequency they appear in auction! Congratulations to the winning bidder, you just bought an amazing gold rarity! PCGS# 8545 | ESTIMATE: $100,000+164

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 334$10 1847-O PCGS AU58 CACThis exceptional quality 47-O eaglehas a totally original array of richorange-gold and olive accents over thesatiny lustrous surfaces. Nicely struckdevices show just the slightest hint ofrub on both sides, but the details showessentially full definition. There is someslight friction in the fields, but we do notsee any distracting marks or anythingthat would displease even the pickiest ofcollectors. This date is relatively easy tofind in grades up to AU53, but it is scarcein AU58 and as the Population Reportsshow that CAC-approved examples areextremely rare.PCGS 13, NGC 97, CAC 5. NO CAC approved example has ever sold in auction! There is a record for a non-CAC PCGS example inFebruary 2018 for $5,520. If you collect CAC-approved New Orleans mint gold coins, you know how difficult they can be to obtain, evenon the so-called “common” dates. This is a great example that has never been conserved and will fit nicely in any amazing set.PCGS# 8598 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+ LOT 335 $10 1848-O PCGS AU50 CAC This is a truly eye appealing and CHOICE AU 48-O eagle. The coin is totally original and this date is rare in AU and higher grades. The surfaces show a light trace of wear, and the eye appeal is better than you might expect for a 50. Olive-green patinated gold has a light satiny look. There are no serious marks, just a few stray ticks from its time in commerce. The crustiness of the surfaces give this coin a truly superb look for the grade. PCGS 17, NGC 21, CAC 4. The most recent example sold for $5,040 in the recent ANA auction. Prior to that, even a non-CAC example sold for $5,280 in February 2018. The current Collector’s Universe value is listedat $4,500 . A 53 will cost around $6,000 if you can find a CAC-approved example. What a great opportunity to add this rare date to your set! PCGS# 8600 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ 165

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 336 $10 1854 PCGS MS62 CAC This is a major condition rarity in the No Motto Liberty series. There is just something about No Motto eagles from the 1850s that are very charming. They are truly conditionally scarce coins, the vast majority disappearing into circulation during the Antebellum, with very few quality pieces for collectors to pursue. The 1854 is a great example, the original mintage was modest, only 54,250 were struck. David Akers wrote that the “1854 is a rare date in any condition, and in AU or uncirculated condition it is very rare.” Between PCGS and NGC there are about two dozen Mint State coins graded, including some likely duplication. The presently offered coin has a choice look! A thick mint frost blooms with a warm glow on original surfaces. The fields and devices show some very minor ticks that account for the assigned grade. The design elements on both sides are generally crisp in definition. The eye appeal is excellent for the modest grade, and a true prize for the specialist! PCGS 6, NGC 1, CAC 3. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $18,001 in April 2018, and in August 2016 one sold for $15,275. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $19,000 and there are only two coins finer at PCGS, all MS64 and none have ever sold in auction. This is about as fine as you will ever see. Good luck! PCGS# 8613 | ESTIMATE: $14,000+ LOT 337 $10 1860-O PCGS AU55 The final New Orleans mint $10 struck before the Civil War, the 1860-O had a mintage of only 11,100. Like many AU and higher survivors, there is a distinctly reflective luster in the fields. The light friction is accentuated by the semi-PL nature of the luster. The devices are fully struck up and the definition is very sharp. A stray line or two are noted for full disclosure. The eye appeal is better than usually seen and we really do like the look of this CHOICE AU 1860-O $10! PCGS 17, NGC 39. The most recent non-CAC example sold in October 2016 for $4,935; we sold one for $6,169 in our June 2015 Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,750. This one is housed in an older blue tag holder and has not appeared in any auction we can find. Keep in mind that any grade higher is RARE and will cost into the five figures based on the PCGS values. A great No Motto $10! PCGS# 98631 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+166

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 338$10 1868 PCGS AU55 CACDue to a limited mintage of 10,630, this date is VERY RARE in anygrade. The present orange-gold toned example is very pleasing andhigh end with only a touch of rub on the surfaces. Accents of peach,orange, and rose impart a strong, original eye appeal. This coin is veryhigh end and worthy of a great collection of Liberty $10s.PCGS 19, NGC 25, CAC 6. The last PCGS/CAC example soldback in April 2012, bringing $4,025. The current PCGS value islisted at $3,800 and it would not come as a shock if this RARE$10 brings a price in excess of that. Keep in mind that theHall-Simpson Collection contained an AU58, and the finest is only MS62.PCGS# 8653 | ESTIMATE: $3,200+ LOT 339 $10 1869 PCGS AU55 Here is a VERY RARE early Motto eagle, one of the FINEST graded from an original mintage of 1,830 and PCGS estimates a total survival of 57. Typically seen in VF and XF grades, there are just three examples graded higher than the present AU55 at PCGS. While the fields show some friction and marks from circulation and bag storage, they do show a wealth of reflective sparkle that you would expect to see on a cointhat saw such a low mintage. The devices show bold striking definition with barely any perceptible wear on the reliefs. Olive-peach hues over orange-gold patinated surfaces give this coin a totally original and high end look. PCGS 7, NGC 7. The last one to sell realized $12,925 in the 2016 ANA auction. More recently an NGC example, from the AdmiralCollection, realized $10,200. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,000. of Extreme Rarity any finer, this is about as fine as any collector could ever hope to own. Bound for an advanced collection and worthy of a serious bid. PCGS# 8655 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+OUR ESTIMATESThe estimates you see published in this catalog are based on HAMMER.

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 340 $10 1874-CC NGC VF35 CAC This is a visually impressive collector grade coin! We love the natural tone over the moderately worn surfaces. There is a remarkable amount of retained luster that survives in the fields. There is a wealth of detail to the design elements with just honest wear on the surfaces. While a more available date than others from Carson City, only 16,767 were stuck. PCGS 31, NGC 8, CAC 5. NO NGC VF35 has ever sold in auction; the last two CAC-approved auction appearances sold for $4,320, one in August and one in February 2018. This is an affordable early CC mint ten that will attract serious attention from the collector. Good luck! PCGS# 8670 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ LOT 341 $10 1880-O PCGS AU53 CAC A low mintage date, only 9,200 were struck, and today perhaps about 275 survivors are estimated known in all grades. Scarce in AU grades, this one is very original with a nice, old time collection look. Under the “crusty” (not a negative term) tone, a rich olive-green and golden hue glows with a shimmering luster. The devices are razor sharp, despite the minor wear on the highest points. The eye appeal is quite nice for the grade, and worthy of a premium bid from the specialist collector. PCGS 27, NGC 25, CAC 4. The last one to sell was in the 2018 ANA auction, realizing $4,920. We sold a non-CAC AU50 in our November 2016 for a hammer price of $5,750. High end examples like this are worthy of placement in a high end collection! PCGS# 8689 | ESTIMATE: $4,600+ LOT 342 $10 1894 PCGS MS64+ CAC With such a large mintage, you would think these would be more common in GEM grade. Would you believe that in 30+ years of grading PCGS has graded only a single MS65 finer! This MS64+ is truly deserving of its near-GEM grade. Brilliant cartwheel luster boldly rolls over the honey-gold toned surfaces on both sides. The devices are sharply struck and are boldly defined. A strong glass reveals just the slightest sign of contact, none of the microscopic ticks impair the wondrous eye appeal. PCGS 207, NGC 442, CAC 31. There are 14 graded 64+ at PCGS. Back when there were three MS64+s graded, this near-GEM sold for $4,600 in November 2011. They have been selling between $1,880 and $2,820 in 2017 (none have sold in 2018). The current PCGS value is listed at $3,250 and we think this coin could well bring close to that. The SOLE PCGS MS65 is CAC approved and sold in April 2011 for $26,450--a gorgeous 64+ is a great value at today’s levels! PCGS# 8729 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+168

Overall, the surfaces are very clean for the assigned grade. Both sides show off a pleasing satin frost, clearly above average in quality. Using a strong glass does not reduce the strong choice quality. Both sides are a beautiful even original gold color, and there are no spots or discoloration. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and do stand out. The eye appeal is excellent! PCGS 128, NGC 39. The most recent example sold cheap at the ANA auction, realizing $3,840. Examples sold earlier this yearbrought between $4,080 and $5,520 with the current Collector’s Universe value being listed at $6,150. Anything finer is going to cost into the five figures, making a CHOICE coin like this worthy of any Mint State set of Indian Head $10s.

A PCGS CAC MS65 would cost at least $20,000.00-and NONE have ever beensold via auction. The price list values for a coin like this are all wrong (lack of trades).

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 346 $10 1910-D PCGS MS66+ CAC This is an excellent, high end 1910-D Eagle. No question this coin has been lovingly cared for since it came off the dies! The superb quality surfaces are exceedingly clean and smooth; indeed only with a strong glass can you see some very light and scattered small contact. The coin looks more like a P Mint then a D Mint. A strong luster beams from all over. Both sides enjoy a stunning golden allure and there are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and every detail are sharply struck. The eye appeal is wonderful! PCGS 45, NGC 43, CAC 21. PCGS has graded 9 in MS66+. The most recent example sold in our October 2017 Regency Auction and was part of the Crow River Collection for $29,375. Extremely RARE any finer, with just three coins graded MS67 finer, the last one selling in 2010 for $86,250. This is about as fine as you can ever hope to get for your world class collection, and will see very strong bidding! Good luck! PCGS# 8866 | ESTIMATE: $22,000+170

The 11-D $10, likethe $2.50 and $5 of this date isa key date issue, only 30,100were struck and there are justnot enough to go around in MintState. Even AUs are very scarceand popular for collectors. Thepresently offered example hasjust the slightest touch of frictionon the highest points, barelydetectable to the naked eye. Thesurfaces are nicely patinated withan olive-gold that accents thenicely struck up devices. There isa minor mark or two that we note for accuracy, but they do not detract from the eye appeal. A perfect coin for the“everyman” collector.PCGS 185, NGC 276, CAC 52. There are only TWO AU58+ graded at PCGS. The last one to sell brought $6,600 in July 2018 and theother one sold for $7,800 in September 2017. The current Collector’s Universe value is $8,000 and with Mint State coins being so scarce,this coin will delight many collectors looking for a high end piece to fill the hole. Good luck!PCGS# 8869 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ LOT 348 $10 1911-D PCGS MS62 A RARE date in Mint State, as most of the 30,100 mintage went into circulation. We believe that there is duplication in the Population Reports at this grade level in hopes of getting a 63 grade. The present coin has a glowing satin luster that beams all over. Light honey-gold with a light rose coloration accents the sharply struck up design elements. Typical surface quality as expected for the grade, with a few tiny ticks and lines seen, but none of them are singularly distracting or take away from the essentially CHOICE eye appeal. PCGS 92, NGC 59. There are a wide range of prices realized just in 2018, two sold in March 2018, realizing $10,200 and $19,200 and one in June 2018 for $12,600. The current PCGS value is listed at $17,000. A 63 will cost in the $20,000-$25,000 range. PCGS# 8869 | ESTIMATE: $12,000+ 171

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 349 $10 1911-D PCGS MS63 We looked really hard all over to see why CAC did not bean it. We are still wondering. However, they saw something, and they are firm. This is not your typical 11-D. Also, we do rate it VERY high end. This coin is seriously superior to the typically dull and crusty 11-Ds we usually see. We looked really hard and saw exceedingly clean and smooth surfaces. There is some luster that sort of glows off the coin. Both sides are a deep gold color. There are zero spots or imperfections. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and do stand out. The eye appeal is great especially for this date. PCGS 42, NGC 11. The last one to sell in auction brought $21,600 in August 2018. The current Collectorís Universe Value is $29,000. If you think you want a higher grade-good luck and expect to pay a ton (an MS64 NO CAC sold for $70,500 in April 2017). We invite you or your representative to inspect this coin. If you are building a set, opportunity sure knocks loud here! PCGS# 8869 | ESTIMATE: $18,000+172

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 350$10 1914 PCGS MS66+ CACWhat an amazing SUPERB GEM piece. The qualityabsolutely is SUPER high end! Remarkable surfaces looklike they have never been touched. Only using a strongglass and looking hard, can you find a small light tick onthe reverse (which is all that keeps this GEM from MS67).There are no whacks or other issues typical to this date. Astrong luster enlivens the crisp totally original deep yellow/orange gold color. Miss Liberty and the details are sharplystruck and do stand out. The eye appeal is awesome!PCGS 12, NGC 10, CAC 10. PCGS has graded only 5 inMS66+ and 3 in MS67. The last MS66+ PCGS CAC to sellin auction brought $36,425 in our October 2017 sale of theCrow River Collection. Prior to that, one realized $44,650in April 2016 (this is not that coin). We can’t stress enoughhow impossible pieces like this are to find today-especiallywith demand so strong.

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 351 $10 1915 PCGS MS66 CAC Our sister firm, Legend Numismatics, has built the top 2 $10 Indian sets ever (one is not registered). We know our GEM Indians! Do not think this date and grade are easy to find. This coin is nothing but fabulous! We think only a tiny tick on the reverse keeps this coin from being an MS67. Overall, the surfaces are satiny and do appear clean. A strong unbroken luster beams from all over. Both sides are a two tone original gold/deeper gold color. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and stand out. The eye appeal is terrific! PCGS 11, NGC 23, CAC 11. PCGS has graded 5 higher of which NONE are beaned in MS67. Prior to this coin selling, the last 1915 to sell in auction brought: $29,375 in the 2017 ANA auction, and another brought $30,550 in the 2017 FUN auction.

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 352$20 1852-O PCGS MS61 CACAll New Orleans mint double eagles are RARE in MintState grades, the present date is no exception! This coinranks among the FINEST graded at PCGS, with justeight coins graded finer. In all, Doug Winter has opinedthat there are 15-20 Uncirculated survivors, and PCGSCoinFacts suggests 13. There is likely duplication in thepopulation reports, and as they sit, the number of MintState coins graded at both services is very small.The present coin has a light golden-orange hue that glowswith a semi-reflective prooflike luster that beams in thefields. The devices are sharply struck up and nicely frosted.We note some minor lines on the fields, but they do notdetract from the superb eye appeal.PCGS 7, NGC 7, CAC 1. While this may be one of themore available dates from this mint, it is very rare in MintState. No PCGS MS61 has sold in the last decade. TheBass-Gilded Age coin, a non-CAC PCGS coin sold inthe 2014 ANA auction for $94,000. In MS61, the currentCollector’s Universe value is listed at $55,000 and thisone, with CAC endorsement should bring a premium bid!Worthy of one of the finest collections of double eagles!PCGS# 8907 | ESTIMATE: $55,000+ 175

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 353 $20 1853/’2’ PCGS MS61 CAC176 The only “overdate” in the double eagle series, the 53/2 is a very popular variety for advanced collectors. VERY RARE in high grade, this MS61 is tied for FINEST graded at PCGS. Rich and totally original olive and “dirty” orange-gold toning on both sides. Clearly a coin that sat for a long time in either an old collector envelope or in a European bank hoard, as it boasts surfaces that possess what this cataloger refers to as “vault dust.” Some minor bag marks are noted, but the surfaces are not as hacked up or choppy as you would expect on a coin of such modest Mint State grade. The details are full, and they do not show any signs of wear. There is a lovely mint frosty bloom that can be seen in the fields that gives vibrance to the surfaces. Walter Breen claims to have discovered this variety in 1959 and described it in his Complete Encyclopedia published in 1988. There is some recutting or something else seen under the three, leading to the 3/2 overdate. There is some debate as to whether it is a true overdate today. Dave Bowers says it is not, Doug Winter includes it in his book on Type I Double Eagles, but says he can see merit in both sides. PCGS for its part continues to list it as a separate variety, but puts the underdigit in quotes. This condition Census example will delight any advanced collectors. PCGS 10, NGC 3, CAC 6. The most recent example sold for $26,400 in June 2018. Prior to that, the “Pueblo Collection” coin, which sold in the 2012 ANA auction realized $46,000. The current PCGS value is listed at $34,000 and we think this one will bring closer to that amount; its purley original look will delight any advanced $20 collector. Good luck!

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29LOT 354$20 1858 PCGS AU58 CACThis is NOT a dull, lifeless AUcoin, nor is it horribly hackedup like so many examplesyou see. While over 200,000were struck, most went intocirculation. Unlike other Type 1twenties that were recovered inthe last 20 or so years from shipwrecks, no large hoard of 1858double eagles has ever comeout. This date is actually VERYRARE in Mint State. This onehas a lot of surviviing lusterthat bring the surfaces of thisimpressive coin to life, and itdoes look better than many lowend MS graded coins we have seen.PCGS 33, NGC 96, CAC 13.

There are a few that we see on the obverse, which account for the grade. The frosty lustrous surfaces glow throughout the fields and in the design elements, the pale orange-gold color is very pleasing. Typical bluntness of strike is seen, and should not be confused with wear, this coin is free of any actual wear and the eye appeal is really not at all bad. There are perhaps 40-50 examples known in Mint State, but only one of those is from the wrecks of either the Brother Jonathan or the Republic. PCGS 26, NGC 9. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $11,400 in June 2018. Prior to that the sole CAC-approved example brought $14,100 in February 2018. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $17,500 and the value jumps to $25,000 in MS62. NONE are graded finer than MS63. PCGS# 8928 | ESTIMATE: $9,500+ 177

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 356 $20 1860 PCGS MS61 WOW! For “only” a MS61, this coin has a look that in the days before grading would have been described as CHOICE BU! Take the image of a hacked up, baggy double eagle out of your mind, this is NOT that coin! The highly lustrous surfaces show only a few minor lines and ticks, none that are singularly distracting nor do they impair the bold Mint State eye appeal. PCGS 42, NGC 27. This date is VERY RARE any finer, with just about two dozen graded higher at PCGS (including, no doubt, resubmissions). Three examples have sold in 2018, between $4,800 and $5,000. Prior to that, these were selling, consistantly, for between $7,000 and $8,000 (which is the current CU value). Anything finer will likely be a five figure rarity.

PCGS# 8929 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ LOT 357 $20 1864 PCGS AU58 Civil War date gold, especially double eagles are always popular; while not as scarce as the 1862 and 1863 issues, in high grade, the 1864 is a very tough coin to find! Until the discovery of the S.S. Republic, there were precious few to go around. Today, including those, about 275-280 examples in all AU grades are estimated to survive. The fields are highly lustrous and have a sparkling, nearly prooflike flash as you rotate the coin in a light. A few minor abrasions are noted, but we really do not see any actual wear on the highest points, indeed, in the days before PCGS and NGC, it is likely this coin would have sold as Brilliant Uncirculated. The eye appeal is exceptional, better than normally seen. PCGS 38, NGC 66. The most recent PCGS-graded coin had a CAC bean and brought $18,000 in June 2018.

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 359 $20 1866-S NO MOTTO. PCGS AU55 CAC A very RARE and highly desirable double eagle issue, the last of the Type Ones. While the reported mintage was 120,000, many experts believe that a large number were melted and never released and while we may never know for sure how many were released into circulation, what we know is there are very few to go around in all grades (PCGS CoinFacts estimates about 300, while Doug Winter estimates 175-225). Regardless, this GEM AU55 ranks among the top 20 graded by PCGS. These were all struck in February 1866, before the new With Motto dies arrived. The surfaces show a light friction in the fields and the highest portions of the devices, artifacts of a brief stay in commerce. A few ancient stray ticks can be noted, but they do not detract the eye. A bold satiny mint frost blooms on the obverse, while the luster on the reverse is distinctly reflective with a very attractive, semi-prooflike flash. PCGS 10, NGC 24, CAC 3. The other PCGS/CAC sold in auction in November 2013 for $88,125 and that is the only other recorded auction price for a PCGS AU55. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $87,500. There are only eight coins graded finer at PCGS; a PCGS AU58 is a six-figure coin, the last one sold back in 2009 and the finest is the ex Saddle Ridge Hoard example that graded MS62. This is a real prize for any advanced double eagle specialist, among the finest PCGS coins available in the open market. We wish every interested bidder luck as there will be intense bidding competition for this beauty--and we offer, in advance, a hearty congratulations to the successful bidder!

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 376 $20 1872 PCGS PR63 DCAM188 There is something truly majestic looking at deep cameo Proof double eagles. The visual impression these large gold coins leave you with is quite striking, and you really have to be ultra jaded to not sit in awe. Most collectors, if they are lucky enough to even hold one, usually see the more “common” dates of 1896-1900, or the ultra rare Proof-Only dates of 1881-1884. The 1872 is an unsung rarity, with about 10-12 known from an original mintage of 30 pieces. The current certification figures of NGC and PCGS prove this, as there are 11 certified in all grades and designations between the two firms combined. We are proud to offer this wildly contrasted, visually stunning double eagle. Upon first impression, this coin has a MONSTER look. Deeply mirrored fields are blindingly reflective and provide a dramatic and eye arresting contrast with the frosted golden devices. The fields have a superb orange peel texture and rich orange-gold coloration. A patch of lines, we are calling “cabinet friction” on the cheek and in the field facing Liberty’s profile account for the assigned grade, BUT, these lines are only visible at certain angles.
