The fields are exceptionally reflective, with ultra clear and clean surfaces for the grade. Indeed, this coin PCGS 296, NGC 227, CAC 61. Only 9 are PR68+ DCAM. While borders on the DCAM classification. Essentially untoned, we note the most recent sold for only $764, these were selling for between only the slightest touch of clear gold at the rims. Unlike so many $1,500 and $2,000 a few years ago. The current Collectors Proof Trade dollars, the surfaces are totally free of any haze or Universe value is listed at $1,100.

In 64+ CAM, the Collectors Universe value is listed at $6,300. Keep in mind that the last PCGS/CAC PR65 CAM sold over six years ago, bringing over $15,000 in April 2013. Worthy of a great collection of Proof Trade dollars, and we expect a fierce bidding battle to break out when this GEM crosses the block. PCGS# 87055 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+ 99

LOT 150 T$1 1876 TRADE. PCGS PR64 CAM CAC FROM THE YOUNG-DAKOTA COLLECTION From our Regency Auction IX, October 2014, where this near GEM was sold as lot 63, and was described as: “This coin is almost a full deep cameo! Deep, electric mirrors have remarkable clarity, cleanliness and intense reflectivity. There are only a few visible, light lines. A very thin, light band of original pale blue frames the rims. Miss Liberty and the details are thickly frosted a bold white and have crisp, full strikes. Only 1150 Proofs were struck. PCGS 24, NGC 15, CAC 5. We sold two examples in 2018 for $4,290 and $4,348, but this coin sold in 2014 for $5,758. A lovely example, with exceptional eye appeal that will sell for a strong price. Keep in mind that the value basically doubles in PR65 CAM, and there are only 15 graded higher than the presently offered beauty. PCGS# 87056 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ LOT 151 T$1 1879 TRADE. PCGS PR65+ CAC FROM THE YOUNG-DAKOTA COLLECTION EX CHEYENNE COLLECTION This is a truly gorgeous, high end, watery reflective GEM example of the first in a series of Proof-only dates. Chrome-like steely silver mirrors are exceptionally flashy, especially when rotated in a light. Lovely toning is dusted on both sides, which does not dull the mirrors. Well struck devices stand out brilliantly against the light lilac-pewter tone on both sides. The eye appeal quite nice. Only 1541 Proofs were struck. PCGS 42, NGC 44, CAC 13. Only 3 are graded PR65+ and only one has ever sold in auction realizing $8,813 in our March 2019 Regency Auction. Scarce finer, this highly alluring GEM is great for a type or date set. PCGS# 7059 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ LOT 152 T$1 1881 TRADE. PCGS PR66+ CAC FROM THE YOUNG-DAKOTA COLLECTION Among the absolute FINEST graded in the designation, with just 3 coins graded higher without the CAM or DCAM designations. This marvelous SUPERB GEM is richly toned on both sides, the bold, watery mirrors bring out the variegated hues. Sunset orange hues grace the upper obverse periphery, blending with a mix of rose, peach, violet, and teal. The reverse displays a wonderful mix of the same tones, in a different pattern and proportion, which give this coin a 100% original look. The devices are razor sharp in strike, with none of the weakness that is sometimes encountered. An impeccable mirrored finish to the fields gives life to the colors, as the light hits the exceptionally smooth surfaces. Only 960 Proofs were struck of this Proof-Only year. PCGS 9, NGC 19, CAC 9. This is the ONLY PR66+, but does not appear to be the non-CAC example that sold in December 2015. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $13,000; we think this one will bring more. Keep in mind that a PR67 is worth about $20,000. PCGS# 7061 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ 100

LOT 153 $1 1881 PCGS PR66 DCAM CAC FROM THE YOUNG-DAKOTA COLLECTION Stunning quality and eye appeal! Blast black and white deep cameo contrast is truly a delight to behold! While not a rare date in the series, after 33+ years of grading coins, PCGS has graded exactly THREE coins in the DCAM classification! That is RARE! Gorgeous surfaces show off a blinding, bold, brilliant reflection in the fields that is deep and ultra clean with no haze or toning to be found anywhere. Contrasting with the mirrors are thickly frosted, razor sharp devices that stand out with full 3D definition. The eye appeal is nothing short of amazing and very high end. Only 984 Proofs were struck. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 3. Clearly this and the PR66+ DCAM are both CAC approved, and perhaps that coin, or the PR67 DCAM might have been upgraded from a PR66 DCAM, accounting for the inflated CAC population. There is an auction record of $29,081 from an October 2016 auction sale and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $38,500. The PR66+ DCAM has not been sold since October 2012, and the finest is a 67 DCAM that brought $105,000 in the 2018 ANA auction. This is bound for another WORLD CLASS collection, or either Proof types or high end Proof Morgan dollars. We anticipate very strong bidding to capture this prize! PCGS# 97316 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 101

LOT 154 $1 1882 PCGS PR68 CAM CAC FROM THE YOUNG-DAKOTA COLLECTION EX JACK LEE No question this coin ranks among the greatest Proof Morgans (and finest graded). The late Jack Lee-one of the greatest Dollar Collectors ever felt it was good enough for his collection. It certainly ranks among the best we have ever seen! Sensational mirrors are deep and beam boldly from all over. The mirrors offer remarkable clarity and are the ultimate in cleanliness. When you twirl the coin you see a gentle roll of liquid mercury type eye appeal. A slight hint of golden brown can be detected on part of the upper obverse peripheries. The contrast is quite bold. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have thick frosting. The eye appeal is stunning! PCGS 5, NGC 4, CAC 5. None are graded finer by PCGS. This coin last sold for $45,825 back in December 2016. The JFS coin brought $63,250 way back in 2011. This is by no stretch a common date. The quality plus the killer eye appeal make this coin a world class top proof. Young-Dakota and the late Jack Lee did all the hard work for you here! PCGS# 87317 | ESTIMATE: $40,000+ 102

LOT 155 $1 1885 PCGS PR66 CAM CAC FROM THE YOUNG-DAKOTA COLLECTION When it comes to Proof Morgan dollars, often times, deep, rich toning can obscure cameo contrast. This PQ and totally original GEM 1885 is a very pleasing exception! Sharply struck devices are nicely frosted and they contrast wonderfully against the flashy, watery mirrors that have a bold clarity and smoothness. The toning pattern starts as deep blue-green and purple at the rims, blending to to a lovely variegated gold toward the centers. Only 930 Proofs were struck. PCGS 20, NGC 13, CAC 12. Prior to this coin selling in March 2019, the most recent example to sell in auction realized $14,100 in our November 2018 Regency Auction; and prior to that, one sold in March 2018 for $15,600. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $11,000 and keep in mind how rare this date is any finer. Worthy of a very high end collection of Proof Morgan dollars and we can see this GEM selling for a very strong price for its high end premium look! PCGS# 87320 | ESTIMATE: $12,000+ LOT 156 $1 1890 PCGS PR66+ CAM CAC FROM THE YOUNG-DAKOTA COLLECTION This is a stunning borderline SUPERB GEM! Superior, ultra deep mirrors have bold clarity, cleanliness, and reflectivity. The coin appears white, but there is a faint hint of gold handsomely framing the rims. Miss Liberty and the details are incredibly struck and have a wonderful frost that contrasts against the mirrored fields imparting a phenomenal eye appeal! Only 590 Proofs were struck. PCGS 15, NGC 23, CAC 7. This is the only PCGS PR66+ CAM graded and it most recently sold in our February 2015 Regency Auction for $17,038. Only seven coins have been graded higher in the designation, and keep in mind that a PR67 CAM CAC sold in our May 2019 Regency Auction for $27,025. This is a very rare opportunity to buy a condition census Proof 1890 silver dollar; do not let it pass you by! PCGS# 87325 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+ LOT 157 $1 1891 PCGS PR64 FROM THE YOUNG-DAKOTA COLLECTION The watery reflective mirrors bloom on both sides, bringing the vivid obverse toning to life. Golden-brown hues blend with blue and amber, giving the obverse a neat look. The reverse retains mostly untoned mirrored reflection. The devices show the typical minor softness above the ear. Decent eye appeal for the grade. Only 650 Proofs were struck. PCGS 54, NGC 41. The most recent PCGS graded example that was not CAC approved example brought $3,600 in the 2018 ANA auction and the current PCGS price Guide value is listed at $4,250. What a neat coin for the budget minded collector. PCGS# 7326 | ESTIMATE: $3,000+ 103

THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION Legend Numismatics is proud to be associated with this collector for many years! The collector built the former #1 all-time Morgan Set and this amazing Gold Type set being offered here. From the very beginning, the Coronet collector was all about owning the very best coins in the very best quality. He did not tolerate low end or unsightly coins. He fully understood what it took to own those coins and he was richly rewarded with many record prices when he sold his Morgan Dollar Collection. We expect he will reap the same rewards from this magnificent Gold Type Collection. After the sale of his Morgans, the Coronet collector got the “bug” and wanted to build something else. He knew he could never rebuild his dollar set and when we suggested a Gold Type set, he became fully mesmerized. It took a huge effort on our part to locate the coins that would be up to his high standards. In the end, the set was so great he could not pick which coin was his favorite-he loves them all! Nearing retirement, the Coronet collector has decided to part with these precious pieces hoping the new owners will enjoy them as much as he did. We congratulate the Coronet collector on his remarkable numismatic achievements. He certainly has earned a top position in numismatic history. We thank him for allowing us the pleasure of exclusively working with him. 104

LOT 158 G$1 1853 PCGS MS66+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION What a terrific coin to start off the Coronet Type set of gold. This coin is unquestionably SUPER HIGH END! Nearly pristine surfaces are a delight to behold. Only when using a strong glass can you find a microscopic tick/frost break. A bold luster beams from all over. There is even a trace of semi-prooflike mirrors on the obverse. Both sides enjoy a beautiful totally original deep gold color. There are no spots or discolorations anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and enjoy light frost. The eye appeal is wonderful! PCGS 63, NGC 42, CAC 30. PCGS has graded only 9 in MS66+. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $6,500 in December 2017. Do not be fooled by the pops, these are very difficult to find this nice! Opportunity knocks loud here! PCGS# 7521 | ESTIMATE: $6,500+ 105

LOT 159 G$1 1854 TYPE 2. PCGS MS66 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION Its hard not to fall in love with this gorgeous piece. The quality for sure (like all Coronet Gold) is HIGH END! Super surfaces have just the lightest trace of some scuffs (really invisible unless you’re using a strong glass) that keep it from a MS66+. Overall, the surfaces absolutely look clean. A full booming luster shines brightly from all over. Both sides are an original enriched orange gold color. There are no discolorations or spots. Miss Liberty and all of the details are frosty and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is gorgeous! PCGS 14, NGC 6, CAC 6. The last PCGS CAC 1854 MS66 to sell in auction brought $51,700 way back in August 2015. Prior to that, one sold for $70,500 in May 2017. We can tell you our sister company, Legend Numismatics has not owned any TYII in MS66 in 3 years! This is a VERY underrated Type. This coin will be a stand out in any Type of collection it is placed in! PCGS# 7531 | ESTIMATE: $60,000+ 106

LOT 160 G$1 1889 PCGS MS68 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION And the heavyweight champion of 1889 Gold Dollars is: THIS COIN! OMG is this a winner! And it’s REALLY HIGH END too! Out of this world surfaces are incredibly clean and smooth. Only when using a strong glass can you find ONE single microscopic grease dot on the reverse. We think that is what keeps this coin from an MS68+. An intense luster beams from all over. Mother Nature did yet another magnificent job with the colors. Heart pounding reddish gold swirls over deep yellow gold on both sides. The coin looks like it is on fire! Miss Liberty and the details are lightly frosted and are perfectly struck. The eye appeal is incredible! PCGS 10, NGC 14, CAC 4. The last 1889 PCGS CAC in MS68 to sell in auction brought $12,337 in September 2016. You can look as hard as you want, we doubt any other 1889 (and few other G $1s ) will put on a color show like this beauty! Also, the legitimate rarity of this coin can not be overstated. You do not have to be building any kind of a set to want to own a killer coin like this. PCGS# 7521 | ESTIMATE: $11,000+ 107

LOT 161 $2.50 1825 PCGS AU58+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION When Legend Numismatics bought this coin for the Coronet Collector, they paid a strong price. While they had seen one or two prooflike pieces for the Type, they had NEVER seen one that looked like a Proof at first glance. This coin puts to shame many higher graded pieces for the series. We fully consider it a MONSTER! No question this coin borders on full MS. In fact it is driving us nuts looking for why it is not. Out of this world surfaces have only a few widely scattered microscopic ticks that you need a strong glass to see. The surfaces are also fully prooflike-even fully DMPL! When you twirl this coin the flash almost blinds you. A light and totally natural layer of pale reddish gold can be seen on both sides. Miss Liberty and the details are very well struck. We kid you not when we tell you it’s hard to find any wear. The eye appeal is amazing! Only 4434 minted. PCGS 6, NGC 9, CAC 4 (this coin may be 2x). Of course there is no auction record for an AU58+. This coin was purchased for the record sum of $36,425 in May 2018. When you see this coin, you will fully understand why the price guides are so meaningless. This coin is so night and day to the majority of AU’s and even MS61’s for the series. Be prepared to face strong bidding. You will never see another piece like it! PCGS# 7664 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 108

LOT 162 $2.50 1829 PCGS MS64+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION How can we follow up the incredible 1825? Have an incredible 1829! This coin also deserves full MONSTER status. There is absolutely no question this coin is SUPER HIGH END! Phenomenal prooflike surfaces appear super clean. Only when using a strong glass can you find some super light chatter scattered about. The mirrors offer a full 4”++ reflection and really catch your eye. There is strong contrast. The luster and flash will nearly blind you. Miss Liberty and the details are fully frosted and have extra sharp strikes. The eye appeal is jaw dropping! PCGS 5, NGC 8, CAC 2. This is the lone MS64+. The current Collectors Universe Value is $70,000. We assure you, this coin is closer to an MS65 than a 64! NOTE: A NON CAC PCGS MS65 sold for $105,000 in September 2015. This coin will be a stand out in any GEM Gold Type set, $2.5 set, or box of 20! PCGS# 7669 | ESTIMATE: $60,000+ 109

LOT 163 $2.50 1836 SCRIPT 8. PCGS MS65+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION Not only is this crazy ULTRA SUPERB GEM the finest graded, it is the FINEST KNOWN Script 8 too! We never see MS pieces of this type with such contrast as this coin offers. We consider this coin to be another MONSTER in the Coronet Gold Collection. We believe this coin was a very early strike. The surfaces are just too hard to believe they actually exist. First, they are super clean. Using a strong glass you can see a few light die cracks and no problems. Unlike so many others of this Type, this coin has full prooflike mirrors and light contrast too! This cataloger has only seen this type of look on full proofs. When you twirl the coin, the prooflike mirrors really stand out. Both sides are bathed with a beautiful and totally original pale orange gold color. There are no discolorations or spots anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are exceptionally well struck for the date and have generous frost. The eye appeal is mesmerizing! PCGS 0, NGC 2, CAC 1. This coin last sold for $55,813 in 2015; 4 long years ago. We cannot say since then we have seen ANY of the Type in PCGS CAC MS65 offered for sale. Basically, this date does not exist in full GEM-a proven point on how it does NOT come NICE! We can not say enough how serious of a one shot opportunity this is. Be prepared for strong bidding here! PCGS# 7694 | ESTIMATE: $50,000+ 110

LOT 164 $2.5 1856-S PCGS MS65+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION FROM THE S.S. CENTRAL AMERICA SHIPWRECK When you see this coin, you will wonder how it remained so SUPERB underwater for well over 100 years. It does not look messed with. We fully concur with the + designation. This coin is closer to an MS66 than an MS65! Outstanding surfaces are surprisingly clean and smooth. The surfaces have a full satiny texture. Save for a frost break, we used a strong glass to go over the surfaces and were only more impressed by the coin. A full booming luster beams vividly from all over. Both sides are a lighter gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are fully struck. The eye appeal is terrific! PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. For the date, this is the second finest known. This coin has extreme quality and the history of being in a legit treasure ship wreck. This coin offers tremendous opportunity today. We can see this as a potential six figure coin in the next few years! PCGS# 670753 | ESTIMATE: $55,000+ 111

LOT 165 $2.50 1908 PCGS MS66+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION No average common date MS66 would do for the Coronet Collection. Some way some how our sister company Legend Numismatics acquired this killer SUPER HIGH END piece. We certainly have never seen anything similar on the market in many years! For a $2.5 Indian, the surfaces are remarkably clean and satin like. Even the dreaded right reverse field has just one microscopic tick and that is it. The luster is good and is glowing. Both sides are a beautiful two tone original gold with pale orange gold highlights. There re NO spots or discolorations anywhere. All of the details are very well struck. The eye appeal is totally adorable! PCGS 113, NGC 66, CAC 21. PCGS has graded only 5 in MS66+ with just 3 higher (NONE of the 3 MS67’s are beaned). There are NO auction records for any MS66+ ever selling. We fully disagree with all published prices as again, NONE have sold (Collectors Universe shows a $14,500 value). A NON CAC PCGS MS66 did sell for $13,200 in March 2019. We certainly have not even owned an MS66 in many years. We expect fierce competition for this coin. Be prepared! PCGS# 7939 | ESTIMATE: $12,500+ 112

LOT 166 $3 1863 PCGS MS66+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION SUPER HIGH END quality. We really think PCGS was harsh when they graded this coin. For sure it has all the bells and whistles you want for one of the top grades. This coin is a true Civil War delicacy! Amazing surfaces are as clean and smooth as you could ever dream about. You can see some light die clashing as well as light striations-both Mint made. We used a strong glass and looked around and saw no imperfections. There are faint traces of semi prooflike mirrors that can be seen when you twirl the coin. A full blazing luster beams from all over. Both sides enjoy a phenomenal and totally original mix of swirling reddish gold over bright orange/yellow gold. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and are well struck. The eye appeal is awesome! Only 5000 were minted. PCGS 4, NGC 4, CAC 1. This is the ONLY MS66+ graded by PCGS or NGC. The current Collectors Universe Value is $62,500. We think that is cheap. An MS67 sold for $211,500 in January 2014. Our estimates reflect what we feel the coin should be worth today. We do not see hardly ANY Civil War Gold in PCGS CAC higher grades anymore. This coin will be a star in any collection! PCGS# 7984 | ESTIMATE: $60,000+ 113

LOT 167 $4 1879 FLOWING HAIR. PCGS PR66 CAM CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION When our sister company Legend Numismatics was building the Coronet Gold Type set, average coins would not do. They set a high bar for quality and eye appeal-and this coin more than proves it. This coin is far superior to the shallow/hazy mirrored pieces we typically see. Deep mirrors beam boldly from all over. The mirrors have exceptional cleanliness and strong clarity. Striations are even held to a bare minimum. When you twirl this coin it looks like a freshly made sheet of glass. The reflection is intense while the contrast is strong. Both sides are a brilliant yellow gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and have thick gold frost. The eye appeal is awesome! The $4 Stella has long been included among gold type collections, however, they are technically patterns. By 1879, for at least a decade, various proposals for an international coinage had been tested. In 1868, there was a pattern $5 / 25 francs struck; in 1874 Dana Bickford proposed a $10 gold piece that had the conversions into various European currencies. None of these made it any further than a few coins struck. In 1879, John Kasson, the ambassador to Austria suggested a $4 gold coin to be struck in a Metric gold composition. Kasson had connections, and the resulting proposed $4 gold piece was the closest an international coinage got to mass production. Two distinct obverses were created, one with a Liberty head with her hair flowing down, designed by Charles Barber, and the other with Liberty’s hair coiled up on of her head by George Morgan. The 1879 is the most “common” with 425 reported struck. Legend has it that many of these were distributed to congressmen to show what the coin would look like and some of them ended up being spent in Washington brothels. Only 425 were minted. PCGS 13, NGC 18, CAC 8. The last PCGS CAC example to sell in auction brought $240,000 in November 2017. The current Collectors Universe Value is $290,000. Out side of a High Relief in GEM, we strongly believe a GEM Stella is the next most popular coin to have in a box of 20 or a major collection. Nice coins have not been showing up in any frequency anymore. Once this coin is sold-good luck getting another! PCGS# 88057 | ESTIMATE: $225,000+ 115

LOT 168 $5 1806 ROUND. 6, 7 X 6 STARS. PCGS MS64+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION It is the strong opinion of this cataloger that this coin in the old days (prior to certification) would have been designated a full MS65+++. Even as an MS64+ we rank it an MS64.9+! Everything about this coin is full GEM quality. The only thing we can see keeping this coin back from a full MS65 designation are some light adjustment marks on the reverse. The surfaces are as pristine as we have ever seen for the Type. Forget a glass, you can use the most powerful microscope on earth and you will find NO impairments anywhere. The surfaces have a stunning satiny texture. The luster is strong and glows from all over. Both sides are a SUPERB GEM original yellow gold color. There are NO discolorations or spots anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck and are really frosty. The eye appeal is totally mega WOW! PCGS 40, NGC 19, CAC 20. PCGS has graded only 4 in MS64+. NO PCGS CAC piece has ever been sold via auction. We disagree fully with the published prices when discussing this coin. Remember, this coin is that close to an MS65 and should be valued that way. In 2014 this coin sold for $70,500. The current Collectors Universe Value for an MS65 is $130,000. If you are the pickiest buyer, this coin will make you more than satisfied! We can not imagine how this coin survived 213 years in such an unreal state of preservation. Seeing is believing! PCGS# 8089 | ESTIMATE: $65,000+ 116

LOT 169 $5 1807 BUST LEFT. PCGS MS64 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION We are not kidding when we say at very first glance, this coin looks like a Proof! For sure, this coin is VERY HIGH END and light years above all others. Incredible fully prooflike mirrored surfaces scream from all over. The surfaces are exceedingly clean and have the faintest of lines that you can only see when using a strong glass. When you twirl the coin, besides being nearly blinded, you see the prooflike mirrors that look like ice glistening in the sun. There is surprising and strong contrast. Both sides are a vibrant yellow gold color. There are NO discolorations or stains anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details stand out with full strikes and thick deep yellow gold frost. The eye appeal is amazing! PCGS 23, NGC 15, CAC 6. This coin was from a super fresh collection buried away for decades. It brought $45,825 in June 2016. We saw the PCGS NON CAC +. This coin blows it out of the water. Plus, this coin is fully prooflike. Actually, we can write forever about this coin’s remarkable attributes. This coin will be a standout star in any collection. It will be great even in a box of 20! PCGS# 8101 | ESTIMATE: $40,000+ 117

LOT 170 $5 1810 SMALL DATE. LARGE 5. PCGS MS64 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION If this VERY HIGH END piece is an MS64, then we sure would love to see what is expected of an MS65! We can not imagine a nicer piece. We really can not see why this coin did not plus (we make no promises). Outstanding surfaces are super clean and are boldly satiny smooth. Only when using a really strong glass can you find a super light scuff in the left obverse field and that is it. We can’t find any real imperfections here. An intense luster (which is amazing for a 209 year old coin) beams boldly from all over. Both sides are a GEM original deep yellow gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and every detail are sharply struck and frosted. The eye appeal will spoil you it’s so gorgeous! PCGS 5, NGC 4, CAC 2. PCGS has possibly graded only 2 finer (both MS65’s). The last auction record for $5 1810 like this is $58,750 in August 2016. The current Collectors Universe Value is $67,500. You have two things here, #1 a really high end and gorgeous coin, #2 a VERY undervalued coin as well! Be prepared for some strong bidding here! PCGS# 8106 | ESTIMATE: $55,000+ 118

LOT 171 $5 1827 PCGS MS64 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION When building the Coronet Type set, our sister company, Legend Numismatics wanted a special coin for this specific Type. They sure found it! This is a remarkable SUPER HIGH END piece. PCGS really showed it no mercy! You will be mesmerized with the surfaces on this GEM. Not only are they exceedingly clean, they have light prooflike mirrors. You do NOT have to imagine the mirrors. We went over the coin using a strong glass and found nothing that warrants this coin not being a + (we make NO promises). Yes, the coin is that HIGH END. Because of the mirrors, the luster is very flashy. Both sides are a GEMMY and totally original pale orange gold/deep gold color. There are NO discolorations or stains anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and fully struck. The eye appeal is fabulous! PCGS 1, NGC 3, CAC 1. This coin sold for $129,250 back in May 2016. In 2014 it brought $141,000. Only a PCGS MS65+ and a PCGS MS66 are graded higher. The current Collectors Universe Value is $155,000. As you can see, pieces like this are once in a life time opportunities. The appearance rate of a coin like this is now measured in years! Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer this magnificent piece from the Coronet Gold Collection for addition to your collection or box of 20. Be prepared for strong bidding. Good luck! PCGS# 8136 | ESTIMATE: $120,000+ 119

LOT 172 $5 1834 CLASSIC. PLAIN 4. PCGS MS64+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION We sure do not see Classic Heads like this anymore. We have seen many GEM’s and several near GEMs of this Type. This coin is far superior. Without any hesitation we grade this coin a VERY REAL MS64.9+! Before 3rd party grading there is no doubt in our minds this coin was called a GEM MS 65. Remarkable surfaces are as pristine as you will ever see. Even using a strong glass all you can find is one tiny microscopic tick and a small Mint made planchet issue. The surfaces are nearly fully prooflike and offer strong mirrors that put on a show. The mirrors offer tremendous clarity and an intense flash. Both sides are a killer original brilliant gold/deeper gold color. The contrast is bold. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have thick frost. The eye appeal is tremendous! PCGS 37, NGC 3, CAC 14. PCGS has graded only 7 cons in MS64+ and 6 finer. We would challenge this coin’s quality and eye appeal vs any NON CAC (or CAC) GEM! Forget about published prices here. To place this coin in the Coronet Collection a strong premium was paid that was far in excess of the ridiculously low Collectors Universe Value of $27,500 (we believe the number was derived from a low end NON CAC coin). Trust us here, this coin borders on being worth $100,000! We’re not hyping anything about this incredible piece-seeing is believing! PCGS# 8171 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 120

LOT 173 $5 1852 PCGS MS66+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION We can not believe this is a No Motto. It looks more like a common 01-S! This coin really is close to MS67. This is the FINEST 1852 $5 graded. Superior surfaces are a joy to behold. They appear slightly satiny with a solid original “skin” yet have faint traces of semi prooflike mirrors. Only when using a strong glass can you find a small cut or two and a really wicked cool die break from 7:00 to 9:00 in the obverse stars. A strong glowing luster beams boldly from all over. Both sides area beautiful and totally original deeper gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have light frost. The eye appeal is fantastic! PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. This is the ONLY MS66+ graded. Its last sale was back in January 2016 (a very weak auction) where it brought $79,513. Our sister company Legend Numismatics would not settle for anything less then a true top pop piece. No question this coin more than fits the bill! PCGS# 8250 | ESTIMATE: $67,500+ 121

LOT 174 $5 1902-S PCGS MS67 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION No question this coin warrants its lofty grade. We marvel how this coin has survived in such a lofty state of preservation for 117 years! Exceptional surfaces are super smooth and clean. Even looking around with a strong glass yields you just a tiny tick or two. There is plenty of original “skin” visible. A strong luster beams boldly from all over. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are fully struck. The eye appeal is great! PCGS 6, NGC 7, CAC 4. Hard to believe but there is an MS69 of this date (the Famous Eliasberg coin). The last PCGS CAC MS67 1902-S $5 to sell at auction brought $23,500 in January 2014. We assure you, this is not a date or grade that is seen in any frequency. Be prepared for strong bidding here! PCGS#8406 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 122

LOT 175 $5 1916-S PCGS MS65 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION Our sister company Legend Numismatics who exclusively built the Coronet Collection told us this was one of the last pieces they found. They did not want a more common date and would only accept what they graded a full MS65. We can’t stress enough how much better this coin is overall vs the majority of MS $5 Indians we see. Only a few very light ticks can be found. The dreaded right reverse has one small line and none of the typical scuffs or whacks. The surfaces offer an above average luster. Both sides are a deeper and totally original orange like gold color. There are no spots or discolorations. All of the details are sharply struck and bold. Even the tip of the Eagle’s top wing is so sharply struck you do not need a glass to see it. The eye appeal is wonderful! PCGS 10, NGC 11, CAC 6. The last 1916-S PCGS MS65 CAC to sell in auction brought $35,250 in 2015-FOUR LONG YEARS AGO! PCGS possibly has graded only a few pieces higher. This will be an exceptional fit into any GEM $5 or Type Set. This is also the last GEM Legend Numismatics has handled for this date-and they look for them every where they go! PCGS# 8532 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 123

LOT 176 $10 1799 SMALL STARS OBVERSE. PCGS MS63 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION VERY HIGH END. We wish all MS63’s could look this good. Think about how many hands it must have passed though in its 220 year existence! Impressive surfaces appear clean and smooth. This is yet another Coronet coin that was placed in the set because there are no distractions that standout. In fact even using a glass all you see are a few scattered tiny lines/ticks. We further assure you this is not an “AU63”. A strong glowing luster beams vividly from all over. Both sides are a beautiful original yellow gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are extremely well struck and have generous frost. The eye appeal makes this coin really exciting! PCGS 14, NGC 3, CAC 4. NO PCGS CAC piece has ever been sold via auction in MS63. We can not stress enough how nearly impossible it is to find one so original and choice these days. The current Collectors Universe value is $80,000. We can see this coin easily selling for more. Good luck! PCGS# 98562 | ESTIMATE: $70,000+ 124

LOT 177 $10 1850 LARGE DATE. PCGS MS62+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION This is not a beat up or average coin. It is a VERY HIGH END piece for sure! This piece is closer to an MS63,than an MS62. Legend Numismatics was extra finicky with the coins chosen for the Coronet Collection. Lightly abraded surfaces do not reveal any deep or serious cuts or whacks. In fact the lines seem to stand out a little more due to prooflike mirrored surfaces. You do not have to imagine the mirrors. There is a good radiance/flash on this coin. Both sides are a beautiful and totally original orange gold color. There are NO discolorations or spots. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck and have light frost. The eye appeal is wonderful! PCGS 3, NGC 4, CAC 1. This is the only PCGS MS62+ graded. There are no auction records for any MS62+ selling. A PCGS CAC MS63 sold for $48,000 in February 2018. We can not stress the extreme rarity of ANY NO Motto $10 in MS. If you have been looking for one, the Coronet Collection did all the leg work for you! Good luck! PCGS# 8603 | ESTIMATE: $17,000+ 125

LOT 178 $10 1905 PCGS MS67 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION EX SIMPSON HALL This coin was a “no brainer” for the Coronet Collection! If you notice it is from what was the former #1 set of $10 Liberties- Simpson/Hall. You can look for many years and find few for the Type of this quality and eye appeal. Only a tiny discoloration dot on the trunk of the neck keeps this remarkable SUPERB GEM from an MS67+ designation. The overall surface quality is immaculate and there is a smooth yet satiny texture. Using a strong glass yields NOTHING of any size. A full booming luster glows. Both sides are a gorgeous totally original pale orange/subtle gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have delicate frosting. The eye appeal is tremendous! PCGS 4, NGC 7, CAC 5. There has not been one sold at auction since 2012. Back then this was a $55,000 coin. Today, with its extreme rarity in this grade, we think these have easily gone up in value beyond any old published numbers. We fully disagree with the Current Collectors Universe Value of only $40,000. Good luck, we’ll buy every one at that price. We are estimating this coin at what we figure the high WHOLESALE value is today (if there is such a thing). This coin will be a more than worthy addition to any GEM Type, box of 20, or $10 Liberty set! PCGS# 8757 | ESTIMATE: $50,000+ 126

LOT 179 $10 1908 NO MOTTO. PCGS MS66+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION Our sister company Legend Numismatics has assembled the #1and #2 $10 Indian Collections. So they know what to look for in a top coin. Even though this coin is not an MS67 or 68, it is one monster of a 66. They really out did themselves here! Outstanding surfaces are beyond a joy to behold. They are as clean and satiny smooth as one can imagine. When using a strong glass you have to look really hard to find a microscopic tick or two (they really are invisible). A full luster beams in a booming fashion from all over. The luster really highlights the stunning original bold two tone orange/sunset gold colors. There are NO flecks, discolorations, or spots anywhere. Miss Liberty and every detail proudly stand out with full strikes. The eye appeal is jaw dropping! PCGS 7, NGC 14, CAC 5. PCGS has graded 3 in MS66+. An MS66 brought $35,250 way back in 2014! NO PCGS CAC MS66+ has ever been sold via auction. Here too, the published numbers simply are not correct. In this market, finding spectacular PCGS CAC pieces like this is impossible. When they do appear, they trade for significant premiums and are off the market. Do not miss this chance on this awesome coin! PCGS# 8853 | ESTIMATE: $35,000+ 127

LOT 180 $10 1914-D PCGS MS66+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION No question this coin deserves to be in one of the finest collections. This coin is VERY HIGH END (not because of the + either). To this cataloger, this coin was love at first and every sight! Superb surfaces are also superior. There are no problems visible to the naked eye. Even when using a strong glass the most you can find are a microscopic (and we mean microscopic) tick or two. The surfaces have a smooth satiny type of texture. A full booming cartwheel type luster beams intensely from all over. It really brings out the beautiful totally original deep gold/pale orange gold colors. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and have slight frost. The eye appeal is spectacular! PCGS 5, NGC 13, CAC 4. PCGS has graded 2 in MS66+. Neither coin has ever been sold via auction. This coin is far closer to an MS67 than an MS66. The last MS67 to sell brought $86,000 in 2012-a number that would be easily surpassed today. We can not say enough how impossible it is to find $10 Indians so fresh, HIGH END, and NOT whacked up like this. One look and you will fully agree on this piece being placed in a top set like Coronet-and yours! Be prepared for strong bidding here. PCGS# 8876 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+ 128

LOT 181 $20 1850 PCGS MS64 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION To call this coin anything less than an ULTRA HIGH END MONSTER is a crime. Our sister company Legend Numismatics has resubmitted this coin (as have we) seeking at least a +. PCGS is insanely tight. Every time we view this coin, we just shiver. We have never seen anything like it. Beyond amazing surfaces not only are clean and sleek, they are fully prooflike. They are not a dipped out prooflike either. Only if you use a strong glass can you see a few trivial tiny ticks/lines scattered about. None are visible to the naked eye. Both sides are a killer original gold/pale greenish gold color. There is a copper toning dot (and it is toning) on the N of United on the reverse (which proves its originality). Miss Liberty and the details are thickly frosted and are sharply struck. There is strong contrast. The eye appeal will knock your socks off! PCGS 4, NGC 1, CAC 3. PCGS actually has graded one higher-but it is not CAC. This is the famous coin from the long hidden “Midwest Collection” sold by Goldberg in 2016 where it realized $170,375. The coin was purchased directly out of the sale by Legend Numismatics and placed in the Coronet Gold Type set. While there may be 3 others graded by PCGS, we assure you, NONE of them are close to this coin’s total package of crazy eye appeal, SUPER HIGH END quality, and a coin that at first glance looks like a proof! Good luck! PCGS# 8902 | ESTIMATE: $150,000+ 129

LOT 182 $20 1880-S PCGS MS65+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION This coin should not even exist! For an 1880-S, the quality is off the charts. No question this is the FINEST 1880-S that exists! John Albanese of CAC even called us to say how insane he thought the coin is. We have never seen any thing like this anywhere on any 1880’s $20. Fully DMPL mirrors explode from all over. Because the mirrors are so deep there is a tiny bit of chatter visible. Obviously, none of it affects the grade. You do not have to imagine the mirrors either. The mirrors do have excellent clarity. The flash is intense and can be seen from feet away. Both sides also enjoy strong contrast. An even original gold color is spread all over. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are thickly frosted and fully struck. The eye appeal is jaw dropping insane! PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. We obtained this coin privately. It has never been in a lower holder, nor has it ever been in auction. The current Collectors Universe Value is $125,000-slightly less than what we paid for this monster. If you seek a once in a lifetime TYIII $20, this coin for sure is it! We expect strong bidding here, so be prepared. Good luck! PCGS# 8993 | ESTIMATE: $110,000+ 130

LOT 183 $20 1907 HIGH RELIEF. WIRE RIM. PCGS MS65+ CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION This is a stunning totally ORIGINAL example of the all time beloved king of Saints. These are unquestionably one of the most beautiful coins EVER minted! This coin does not disappoint in any way. First thing you see-the famous “deep dish” High Relief crater. Inside are surfaces that are smooth and are super clean. A strong luster shows off the coin’s beautiful and totally original soft gold color. There is a microscopic toning dot or two with no real spots and no discolorations. As expected, Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and have delightful light frost. The eye appeal is phenomenal! PCGS 301, NGC 101, CAC 35. PCGS has graded only 13 in MS65+. The last one to sell in auction brought $52,874 in August 2014. That is a long time ago! Even if every HR ever minted survived in true GEM, they would still command strong prices as they are one of the most beautiful and popular coins that exist! Do not assume these are so common. Legend Numismatics had been searching for TWO years now for an MS66 or better HR WE for a customer before finally finding one late last year. Even in MS65, especially CAC beaned, these are hard to find these days. This SUPERB HIGH RELIEF FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION is what you want in ANY GEM collection! PCGS# 9135 | ESTIMATE: $50,000+ 131

LOT 184 $20 1923-D PCGS MS67 CAC FROM THE CORONET GOLD COLLECTION This piece was the last to be cataloged for the Coronet Gold Collection. The reason, we were busy for the second time seeking a +. What in the world does PCGS want? We consider this coin to be SUPER HIGH END. Remarkable surfaces are better than 99% of what we typically see. Not only are these surfaces satiny, they have a trace of semi-prooflike mirrors. Plus, you can use the strongest glass and you will find NO ticks or imperfections anywhere. There is an interesting die crack running through the lower reverse. A thick satiny luster beams intensely from all over. The colors are a totally original deep gold/pale orange. There are zero spots or stains. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are well struck. The eye appeal is incredible! PCGS 78, NGC 52, CAC 13. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $25,850 in November 2016. We can see this piece bringing that or more! Even if you are the worlds pickiest buyer, this coin will floor you. Its so many light years above the rest. Good luck here! PCGS# 9176 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ 132
