The strike is remarkably sharp for the issue with full definition to the devices on both sides. It was about 12 years after these were struck that the variety was discovered in 1930. Like the 1918/7-S quarter, this is one of the true overdates in the 20th century series, and highly coveted as such. Scarce in all grades and Rare in Mint State, it is EXCESSIVELY RARE in GEM grades, with only a single MS66 finer than the current MS65+. PCGS 3, NGC 3, CAC 2.

Since the MS66 is currently in very strong hands, itis likely that this is the FINEST that will be available for collectors. As such, you can disregard the PCGS Price Guide value of $400,000!

LOT 111 5C 1915 PCGS PR68 CAC A wonder coin! Everything about this coin is amazing! The strike, the surfaces, the originality, the colors, the entire overall eye appeal! All the details on both sides are fully struck up, with beautiful iridescent shades of icy blue and creamy peach on both sides. Using a strong glass, there is not a single flaw to be found, anywhere! This coin is among the absolute finest of the date to be certified, and certainly one of the FINEST of all PCGS-certified Matte Proof Buffalos! PCGS 3, NGC 3, CAC 3. There is a single 68+ finer. This stunning SUPERB GEM will be the crown in any Matte Proof Buffalo nickel set. We love everything about it, and it should bring a strong price. The only other CAC-approved example to ever sell in auction was in our September 2016 Regency Auction, selling for $34,075. An opportunity of the utmost importance for the advanced Registry collector! PCGS# 3992 | EST: $30,000+68
LOT 112 5C 1936 SATIN. PCGS PR67 CAC We are totally mesmerized by the high end look! Want an amazingly toned SUPERB GEM Proof nickel, and while we have handled higher graded examples, the presently offered coin is truly memorable! Rich golds and blues, blend with light orange, apricot, and pale rose accents. Needless to say the eye appeal is exceptional and the technical qualities are all there and then some! PCGS 297, NGC 135, CAC 110. There really is a wide range of prices for these in auction, and we believe that the APRs and pricingguides for a coin like this may well prove useless to the toning aficionado. The Proof Buffalo nickel series is a short and totally do-able set, and this would be a great start, or addition to a high end set. PCGS# 3994 | EST: $2,000+ LOT 113 5C 1936 SATIN. PCGS PR68 CAC Virtually PERFECT, indeed to call this coin a SUPERB GEM just seems inadequate to fully describe its wonderful quality! The devices on both sides are fully struck up and crisply rendered from an exacting blow from the dies. The satiny finish isuninterrupted by any post mint issue, indeed both sides are withoutflaw. Adding to the allure is a light dusting of icy blue and clear gold that gently adhere to the otherwise shimmering silver surfaces. PCGS 43, NGC 31, CAC 15. The last one to sell in auction brought a very cheap $7,932 in a July 2016 auction. Two sold in May 2016, one in our Regency Auction XVII for just shy of $10,000 and one in another sale realizing $14,100. There are only 3 finer,including 2 in 68+ and a single PR69. The last PR68+ sold in our September 2016 auction for $13,513. A great coin for any collection, and Proof Buffalo nickels make for a very cool “side project” in between collections or while you wait for that very hard to find coin still missing from your main collection. PCGS# 3994 | EST: $7,500+ LOT 114 55C 1936 BRILLIANT PCGS PR67+ CAC A stunning and SUPERB example of this very popular issue. Bold, clean, and clear watery reflective fields beam on both sides bringing out all the subtleties of the rainbow toning. Exquisite rose, lilac, olive, and pale blue pastel iridescence that gently dust the surfaces. The eye appeal is spectacular! PCGS 204, NGC 99, CAC 87. PCGS has graded 26 in PR67+, with a mere 8 graded higher. This is the most recent example in this lofty grade to sell in auction, selling for $3,760 in the 2016 ANAauction. The current PCGS value is listed at $4,750 and keep in mind that a 68 will cost well into the five figures if PCGS/CAC. This is a great coin bound for any special, hand selected set of Proof Buffalo nickels. PCGS# 3995 | EST: $3,500+LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM 69
LOT 115 H10C 1795 PCGS MS66 CAC This magnificent SUPERB GEM is one of the highest graded and clearly one of the FINEST KNOWN. The wonderful toning is the first thing that catches your eye. A wealth of deep rose and teal-blue hues cover the centers, with accents of gold and silver near the rims. Satiny mint frost on the obverse, the reverse’s luster is distinctly reflective. The devices are nicely struck with some of the eagle’s breast feathers visible, which is not often the case on this issue. Even though the 1795 is the more common of this two year type, it is still exceptionally rare in such lofty grades. This coin’s eye appeal is off the charts. PCGS 9, NGC 7, CAC 7. This LM-8 sold in August 2015 for $79,313. More recently, on sold in an April 2017 auction for $76,375. PCGS currently lists a price of $87,500 in the Collector’s Universe Price Guide. There are five examples finer if you can believe it, 2 in 66+ and 3 in 67. The most recent MS67 to sell was the D. Brent Pogue coin that sold for $176,250. Certainly a great coin for any advanced type collection! It may be a while until another SUPERB 1795 half dime comes up for sale again! PCGS# 4251 | EST: $70,000+70
LOT 116 71 H10C 1796/5 PCGS MS64+ CAC EX ELIASBERGBordering on the GEM category, Legend Rare Coin Auctionsis proud to have been consigned this beautiful early half dime that possesses perhaps the most famous provenance in all of American numismatics, Louis Eliasberg.Exceptionally well struck with essentially full definition of all the details. Some mint made adjustment marks are noted for accuracy, and do not affect the appeal of this lovely jewel. The luster is somewhat reflective in nature, shining brightly from below the highly desirable Eliasberg color. From the May 1996 sale of the Eliasberg Collection, lot 895. Earlier it was in the Clapp Collection, sold en bloc to Eliasberg in 1942. Earlier still ex E.S. Norris Collection, sold by S.H. and H. Chapman in May 1894. This coin is a mini-time capsule with a lot to tell us about the inner workings of the early days in first U.S. mint. We know that half dime coinage began in 1795, churning out coins dated both 1794 and 1795, both dates featuring the flowing hair design. In 1796, the silver coins (half dimes,dimes, quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars) all had the new draped or fillet bust types. The only type that transitioned to full output in 1795 of the new design was the silver dollar. The evidence of a 5 under the 6 in the date of this overdatevariety reveals that draped bust coinage may have actually been planned for the latter part of 1795, for some unknown cause, abandoned until 1796. Perhaps it was the annual autumn outbreak of yellow fever. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 2. This coin is likely counted twice on the CAC report. This is the second finest example of this R-6 variety, and is highly desirable because of the quality and important pedigree. This coin last sold in October 2012realizing nearly $75,000. More recently the Parmalee-Garrett-Hayes-Pogue coin, graded MS66 by PCGS realized $188,000in May 2015. Only one coin is graded finer. If you are puttingtogether a world class cabinet of early U.S. coins, this spells an important opportunity for you. Do not miss it! PCGS# 4255 | EST: $85,000+ LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM
LOT 117 H10C 1797 NGC XF40 CAC Housed in an old “Fatty” NGC holder, this early half dime really is CHOICE! Sharply struck devices on both sides are accentuated by a soft underlying luster that survives after 220 years and some light circulation. Rich slate-blue, gold, lilac, and tan color coat both sides and allow a couple of insignificant ticks from circulation to go unnoticed to the unaided eye. The eye appeal is stronger than many graded higher. Though not noted on the holder, this is a 15 Stars Obverse, LM-1. PCGS 21, NGC 2, CAC 7. Overall nicer than the PCGS/ CAC coin that sold in the 2017 ANA auction for $5,993, the one that sold in November 2016 for $6,756 and the NGC 45 that sold for $7,050 in June 2014. Really high end for the grade and at a price point that makes this coin attractive for a multitude of buyers, we anticipate very strong bidding from half dime collectors, early type collectors, and those putting together (boxes of 20). PCGS# 4258 | EST: $5,000+72
LOT 118 73 H10C 1800 LIBEKTY. PCGS MS64 CAC LM-3. The LIBEKTY variety is one of the many interesting early issues that make coins from the first decades of federalUS coins so interesting. The R punch was clearly broken at the loop, making it appear as a K. While about 150 examples are estimated in all grades, they are VERY RARE in any Mint State grade, especially so in such a lofty, near GEM grade. A rich, antique apricot tone mingles with accents of lilac and gold, all brought to life by a glowing, underlying satin luster.The devices on both sides generally show crisp definition, with only minor weakness seen in places, but the details are fulleron this one than on most. The luster, strike, and totally original toning do come together to offer a beyond bold eye appeal. PCGS 7, NGC 5, CAC 1. This is not only the only CAC-approved example, it is the ONLY one to appear in auction, selling twice since 2009, both time right around ourlow estimate of $32,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $35,000. There are four coins finer at PCGS; a 65 sold back in 2008 for $80,500 and the Pogue MS66 sold for $152,750. With this coin’s wonderful look and superb state of preservation, it is well suited for any amazing type set orspecialized set of early half dimes--whatever type of collector buys it, they really will have a wonderful piece that will offer much pride of ownership.

LOT 119 H10C 1832 PCGS MS67 CAC This GORGEOUS, SUPERB GEM is an old friend, last sold in auction in our May 2016 Regency Auction XVII where it was described as: “Some people think we describe everything as high end.

Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and do stand out. The eye appeal is exceptional! PCGS 10, NGC 16, CAC 15. This is the Gardner coin that sold for a mere $11,250.00. That’s the cheapest we know of any one selling in the past 5 years! This coin deserves a good long term home.” The current Population data is: PCGS 9, NGC 15, CAC 15. It was purchased by a collector who has now changed direction and has consigned it to us. In our Regency Auction, this SUPERB type coin sold for $11,750 on an estimate of $10,000- $11,000. PCGS has graded only three coins finer; 2 in MS67+ and a single MS68+. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $13,500, and there are APRs in excess of that level from a few years back. One look at this GEM and you will be in love, and we hope it ends up in a SUPERB type set. PCGS# 4279 | EST: $10,000+ LOT 120 H10C 1833 PCGS MS67 A wonderfully toned little jewel. Crisply struck throughout, the devices clearly stand out in full 3-D effect that stands out against the smooth fields. The devices also standout beautifully against the alluring rich toning that leaves the central devices lighter than the peripheries. Shades of midnight blue, royal purple, and deep orange dominate. The eye appeal is excellent, indeed if it was not for a tiny tick in the center, this coin would have likely been awarded a CAC-bean. PCGS 12, NGC 19. There is but a single coin graded finer at PCGS, a lone MS67+. Tied with the Pogue coin in grade, that coin did not have the boldness of tone as the presently offered SUPERB GEM, and it brought $16,450 in May 2015. The current PCGS value is listed at $13,500. What a great looking type coin! PCGS# 4280 | EST: $10,000+74

LOT 133 10C 1921-D NGC MS67 FB One of the FINEST examples known of this important KEY date! While a key date in all grades, it is also a major condition rarity! Boasting a brilliant, snow white luster, surfaces are exquisite and offer virtual perfection in preservation. Not even the tiniest ticks can be found to distract the eye, and the luster is full and fresh. Mintages tailed off in 1921 as the economy in America slipped back a few notches adjusting from the war footing required for WWI, to the peacetime economy once again. Thus demand was curtailed for new coins in this period, and key dates were forthcoming in 1921. Only 1,080,000 were struck in the Denver Mint, the second lowest of the series after the key 1916-D. However, the 1921-D coins entered circulation with little fanfare, as these were not the first of their kind like the 1916-D. Hence few were saved, and GEMS are sparse today. This is borne out in the Census of NGC and the Population Report of PCGS -- there simply aren’t many high grade survivors and the present coin is tied with just one other at this grade as the FINEST KNOWN of the date and mint. As such this sparkling 1921-D is destined for an advanced NGC Registry collection and will no doubt be one of the highlights of any advanced collection. A powerful and memorable example of this prized date and mint. PCGS 1, NGC 2. None are finer. The only appearances at auction for a MS67 FB was in April 2011 where one realized $24,150.

LOT 148 25C 1834 PCGS MS65 CAC The reduced size quarter type, 1831-1838 is often overlooked, as they do appear in Mint State with more frequency than their earlier, larger diameter predecessor. However, they are often lackluster, poorly struck, or otherwise unattractive. The presently offered B-4 is a distinct exception! A vibrant satiny luster glows, bringing out alll the shades of cobalt and gold that for a lovely frame around both obverse and reverse. Every detail of William Kneass’s “refined” design is crisply struck up and fully rendered by an exacting blow from the dies. The surfaces are clean, the glowing, lustrous surfaces do not show a single mark or scuff of significance, or anything that would mar the outstanding overall visual allure. The early 1830s were a time of transition at the mint, with new presses being installed that would allow for coins to be struck with a close collar, which allowed for every coin to have a raised rim. The new technology required some changes to the design, as the new planchets were smaller than those struck in 1815-1828. As mentioned above, engraver William Knenass modified John Reich’s classic Capped Bust design, and this type was struck from 1831 to 1838, when Christian Gobrecht’s Liberty Seated design was adopted. This type is VERY RARE in GEM Mint State, and when offered there is very strong demand from type and date collectors. PCGS 10, NGC 11, CAC 9.
