A strong mint frost comes through the light pastel toning in shades of gold, olive, sky-blue, emerald, and peach coloration. This GEM has a great old-time collection look, reminiscent of what you would see on an Eliasberg or Norweb coin. Worthy of a superb set of Seated Liberty halves or type coins. PCGS 5, NGC 3. Just two coins are graded finer. This GEM appears to be the former NGC MS66 from the Gene Gardner auctionof October 2015, which realized $12,925. Gene’s duplicate was a PCGS MS65 CAC that sold for $8,225--a coin he paid $11,750 in July 2013. The current PCGS value is listed at $10,500.

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 168 50C 1861 PCGS MS66 CAC What a great time keeper of our Civil War era coinage. This coin is a dazzling HIGH END piece. How this survived the Civil War and 157 years is beyond comprehension. Not only did it survive, it did so in such an awesome way! Splendid surfaces have just a tiny scattered tick or two that can only be seen with a glass. The surfaces have a thick satiny texture. A surprising strong luster beams from all over. Absolutely gorgeous toning consisting of original moderate hues of green, blue, gold, rose, pale magenta swirl all over on both sides. You want a 157 years old GEM to look like this. Miss Liberty and the details are delicately frosted and are fully struck. The eye appeal is beautiful! PCGS 17, NGC 3, CAC 12 (hmmm there was clearly a resub on a coin). The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $13,513 in our December 2015 Regency Auction. These do no exactly grow on trees!

The surfaces, as expected, are satiny smooth and display zero imperfections visible to the naked eye; even under the closest scrutiny with a strong glass, you cannot find anything more than a tiny tick or two, mostly hidden under the delicate pastel toning. Shades of light blue, lilac, olive, gold, and pearlescent iridescence dusts both sides, giving a wonderful dimension to the coin, accenting the sharply struck up devices. Every detail is rendered to its finest advantage. The eye appeal is without a doubt stunning and totally original; everything about this coin screams high end quality and you will be hard pressed to find a better one! PCGS 2, NGC 0.

Struck from Die state III, with multiple obverse and reverse die breaks. Deep pewter and dove gray tone gives this large silver coin a great look. Despite the moderate wear the details show off a crisp strike that must have been nearly complete when the dies came together. There are a few unobtrusive, minor marks, all natural to the amount of wear this coin possesses. PCGS 250, NGC 148.

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.

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 214 $1 1855 PCGS MS62 This is a brilliant, frosty Mint State example of this scarce Seated Dollar date. Only 26,000 were struck and precious few were saved at the time of issue, this date is RARE in any Mint State grade. Struck with the typical weakness seen on the wings, this lustrous coin has a great look. The grade in our opinion is spot on, with just a few light lines that keep it from a full CHOICE grade. The surfaces have a pearly-silver luster with a pale, shimmering iridescent type of look that is better than decent. PCGS 12, NGC 7. The last one to sell was CAC-approved and sold for $14,400. A non-CAC PCGS coin sold in the 2017 FUN auction for $13,513. We sold a PCGS/CAC MS61 in our April 2017 Premier Session for $12,000 hammer.

Many of the Mint State survivors were discovered in bags that were discovered in a treasury basement vault. Most survivors were heavily bag marked and grade MS60-MS62. Near-Gem examples like this are VERY RARE indeed! Pearly silver lustrous surfaces glint in the light. Sharply struck devices stand out on the smooth surfaces. There is only the slightest hint of contact on both sides. The eye appeal is decent overall and should fit nicely in any set of Seated dollars. PCGS 1, NGC 5. The last regular MS64 was CAC and sold for $13,750 in an online only auction. F.Y.I. Legend paid $65,000 for a 65 in 2013. We think the current PCGS value of $9,500 may well prove to be low!

The reverse mirrorsare likewise watery, but have much more depth to theovertone of blue and rose tones. The eye appeal is verystrong, so it is easy to overlook the ancient lines onLiberty’s torso. A delightful GEM that will be a realprize for the Seated dollar collector.Only 600 were struck. PCGS 12, NGC 15, CAC 2.

THE REGENCY AUCTION 29 LOT 217 $1 1873-CC TRADE. PCGS MS6496 Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer one of the FINEST GRADED 73-CC Trade Dollars! This is a series that we are very intimately familiar with, as our sister firm, Legend Numismatics, helped our partner, Bruce Morelan build the FINEST set. We know how each date comes. With that expertise and experience in mind, we can say with confidence that this coin is really all there! A brilliant underlying mint luster blooms through the dappled, multihued blue, gold, peach, rose, and lilac-silver toning. The eye appeal is augmented by a crisp strike with just a hint of softness on the eagle. Only under intense scrutiny can you see any marks, but they are tiny, hidden, and essentially invisible to the naked eye. The Trade Dollar was introduced as a way to convert excess silver supplies being mined from the Comstock Lode in Nevada. In 1873, the mintage of silver dollars for domestic use was ended, and the Trade Dollar was introduced to export silver to the Far East, where Mexican Pesos were the dominant trade coin. In all 124,500 Trade Dollars were produced in Carson City in 1873. This is a fairly available date in circulated grades, in Choice Mint State or finer, this date is VERY RARE. PCGS 6, NGC 7. This coin last sold as an NGC MS64 in April 2018, realizing $38,400. It is very visually alluring, and should bring more than the frosty silver example that brought $31,200 in the 2018 ANA auction. The NGC MS64 CAC that sold in the 2018 FUN auction for $55,200 has also since crossed to PCGS. The current PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $56,500. Only a single coin is finer (The Vermeulle-Morelan Collection coin) PCGS/CAC MS65 is now residing in the Black Cat Collection and will not be available anytime soon.

Only 900 Proofs were struck and this is one of the absolute FINEST, not just in terms of technicalquality, but in terms of eye appeal as well!

After 1878, all Trade dollars were struck in Proof format for collectors only, none were struck for circulation or the far east trade. This example has vibrant, rich, watery mirrors that flash from below a layer of thick, multicolored toning. Clearly this coin was left alone in an old collector envelope or case where it was able to take on the deep blues, greens, purples, and pewter tones that attest to the originality of this wonderful Proof type coin. Only 960 Proofs were struck. PCGS 38, NGC 39. The last examples sold in the $4,000 to $5,000 range and the current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $7,000. Rare any finer. A neat type coin.

The sharply struck devices are clean and fully frosted, this beauty has a great cameo-like contrast. There are a few minor signs of contact, which are exaggerated by the deep, 8” mirrors. PCGS 27, NGC 10. This coin sold in the 2018 FUN auction for $5,520. Prior to that an example sold in November 2016 for $9,400 and we sold one in our February 2015 auction for $6,756.
