LOT 440 5C 1916 DOUBLE DIE OBVERSE. NGC AU50 A totally pleasing and original example of this important rarity. Nicely defined details show light wear, evident that it was discovered before it was able to get heavily worn and pulled from circulation. Unlike many that have been conserved in the past, this piece has bold tan-russet and dove toning. A few insignificant marks are noted for accuracy, but none are serious enough to negatively affect the eye appeal. A very rare date in a highly collectible grade. The doubled features are bold and completely visible to the naked eye. Not only is the doubling noticeable at the date and feathers, but also the profile shows bold doubling. The eye appeal really is superb for the assigned grade, as many we see are lacking in definition and eye appeal. Rarer than the other key varieties in the series, the 1918/7-D and the very famous 1937-D 3 Legged. Survival estimates range from 200-400 in all grades, with most being in the VF range.

Sharply struck for the date, the details have a profound appeal with the strong outlining from the beautiful toning. There is a single spot of carbon on the reverse, otherwise there is nothing that we can find that takes away from the magnificent eye appeal. Very similar looking to the Angel Dee’s Toned Set coin we sold in December 2016. PCGS 26, NGC 15. The most recent NGC MS65 sold for $8,100 in the 2018 FUN auction.

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

LOT 459H10C 1797 15 STARS. NGC MS64A condition census LM-1, this is one of the FINEST 179715 Stars half dime that survives. Thanks to the layout of thestars on the obverse, the centers are generally very weaklystruck. On this fully CHOICE example, we note only theslightest weakness around Liberty’s ear, but the remainderof the design elements are very sharp, including Liberty’shair curls, drapery.Deeply and richly toned, the obverse displays a paleslate/blue-gray, and the reverse mostly shows gold withsea-green and iridescent accents that are brought out by afully satin-like luster. The eye appeal of this HIGH GRADEearly half dime is wonderful and totally original!PCGS 3, NGC 1. The most recent example was the PCGS/CAC Winsor-Clapp-Eliasberg-Gardner coin that realizeda very strong $70,500 in June 2014. An NGC-gradedexample last sold in August 2012 for $25,850. The currentCollector’s Universe value is about the average of those tworealizations, listed at $48,000. Between PCGS and NGCthere are only five coins finer combined.

LOT 460 H10C 1837 NO STARS, SMALL DATE. PCGS MS67 CAC This SUPERB GEM is worthy of the FINEST Type or Half Dime set! Sensational surfaces are pretty much the epitome of perfection-even when using a strong glass. We will note what looks like a scratch on the reverse is clearly IN the die (breaks no details). The surfaces have a superb satiny texture. A bold luster swirls all over. The luster enhances totally original moderate shades of golden brown/reddish gold that partially cover the coin. This is NOT a dull coin in any way. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and are fully struck. The eye appeal is great! PCGS 6, NGC 4, CAC 5. The last PCGS piece to sell in auction was a NON CAC. That coin brought $28,200 in March 2017. Even an NGC CAC piece brought $22,325-back in 2014. Do not think these are easy to find. If you are building the ultimate Half Dime or Type set, this coin should be more then worthy of inclusion. This IS a Legend quality coin! PCGS# 4312 | ESTIMATE: $17,500+228

You really cannot picture a more beautifully toned SUPERB GEM example of this early Seated half dime.PCGS 49, NGC 45, CAC 14. There are six graded 66+ and 10 finer. Don’t bother looking at the price guides, nor any APRs. This coin’s beautiful and high-end look will help this coin bring a VERY STRONG price. What a SUPERB GEM!

The design elements are razor sharp and complete. The eyeappeal is SUPERB!PCGS 2, NGC 0. There are NO MS67s approved by CAC. NONE ARE GRADED HIGHER at either service. Nothing finerthan a PCGS MS66 has ever sold in auction. PCGS estimates a value of $6,750 in MS67+. In the entire series, 1840-1859,only 33 have been graded 67+, and most of those are 1859s. This is a UNIQUE opportunity thus far for the advancedSeated Liberty half dime collector, and it should not be missed for any reason!

Boasting a light dusting of pastel iridescent toning on both sides, the eye appeal of this SUPERB early Seated half dime is excellent. PCGS 20, NGC 5, CAC 6. Only 2 MS66+ have been graded at PCGS. None of these have ever sold in auction. The most recent PCGS MS67 to sell realized $1,320 in the 2018 FUN auction and a PCGS 68 sold in the 2017 FUN sale for $2,820.

For an Antebellum era coin to survive in such superb quality is very rare, and this gorgeous PQ GEM is among the ten finest PCGS graded coins. Frosty satin like mint sheen glows on both sides. The surfaces are dusted subtly by a touch of iridescent gold and the devices are fully struck up, a very rare trait for this date. At the low end of the condition census. PCGS 9, NGC 16, CAC 10. There are only 2 coins graded MS66+ at PCGS, none at NGC, and only seven coins are finer at PCGS, the finest being the monster MS68 in the Simpson Collection. The last PCGS MS66 CAC to sell in auction realized $6,000 in the 2018 FUN auction and the most recent PCGS MS67 CAC brought $15,275 in the May 2015 auction of the Gardner Collection. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $5,350 and that is just way too cheap given the cited MS66 in the FUN auction, the Pogue coin that sold in March 2017 for $6,463. The coin that sold in FUN sold previously in May 2015 (also a Gardner coin) for $5,288. We think this one will sell more in line with our range and the CU value will have to be adjusted up. PCGS# 4340 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ LOT 465 H10C 1858 PCGS MS67 A satiny and alluring SUPERB GEM half dime. Lustrous silver centers are framed by blue and amber hues.

LOT 466 H10C 1859 PCGS MS67+ CAC How can a coin, struck right before the biggest crisis in our nation’s history survive in such a PRISTINE state of preservation?! Bold, billowing, brilliant satin silver luster glows from all over. The SUPERB surfaces are totally without flaw! Even under the inspection with a strong loupe all that is revealed are mint made die clashes. Hints of exceptional multi-colored toning graces the rims, mostly on the reverse. It is almost hard to think of a finer example! PCGS 29, NGC 15, CAC 15. There are 17 in 67+ at PCGS, NONE at NGC, and fewer than a half dozen are graded finer at PCGS. The last PCGS 67+ sold in November 2017 and it wasnot CAC approved. It realized a strong $7,800.

We cannot imagine howthis coin survived the Civil War,Reconstruction, financial panics in1873 and 1893, and who knows what personal issues that affected the owners of this coin. What we are certain of is that it istied for FINEST certified, and quite possibly FINEST KNOWN.A strong, brilliant mint luster blazes over smooth, pristine, FLAWLESS surfaces. That brilliance brings the vivid toning,particularly on the reverse to life. Shades of aqua, cobalt, teal, gold, amber, and rose hues blend beautifully together. Thedevices are very sharply struck up, with every detail crisply rendered to their absolute finest advantage.PCGS 5, NGC 4, CAC 2. There are 3 MS68+ coins reported on the PCGS Population report, but NONE have ever sold inauction. This coin is clearly fresh to the market. The Shapiro-Gardner PCGS MS68 CAC has a record from 2007 at $22,713when Mr. Gardner purchased it. The James Lull MS68 sold in January 2005 for nearly $30,000. In 68+ Collector’s Universelists a value of $22,500. We think this coin will break that level! A PERFECT coin for the FINEST type set or for anyonecollecting the highest quality Seated half dimes! Know that there will be a long, drawn out bidding war to take home thisprize. We wish the winning bidder a very hearty congratulations in advance.PCGS# 4371 | ESTIMATE: $17,500+ 231

PCGS# 4391 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ LOT 469 H10C 1873 PCGS PR67+ CAC Congrats to this amazing coins designation which makes it the FINEST graded. This coin is well worthy of that designation. Deep mirrors beam from all over. The mirrors are flawless and exhibit great clarity. When you twirl the coin the mirrors look like a freshly formed sheet of ice. Both sides are moderately toned with totally original attractive colors. The toning does not lessen the flash of the mirrors. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and are fully struck (kind of amazing for such a tiny coin). The eye appeal is superb! ONLY 600 pieces were minted. PCGS 6, NGC 8, CAC 3. This is the ONLY PR67+ Cameo graded. It has never been sold via auction. There is a current Collector’s Universe Value of $7,000. Seems kind of cheap for a 145 year old obsolete FINEST graded piece!

Struck from a later state of the obverse die with a sharp curving die crack. The eye appeal is quite nice. It is numismatically interesting to note that this reverse die was also used to strike the 1798 BD-2 quarter eagles. PCGS 2, NGC 3. The most recent Large 8 to sell in auction was a PCGS coin that sold in December 2013 for $5,875. The last NGC coin sold for $4,994 over five years ago. The current CU value is listed at $7,500.

The mirrors have a watery reflective nature that brings out the delicate hues that cling to the surfaces. Shades of golden-russet, olive, and pale blue are seen when rotated.

LOT 505 25C 1853 ARROWS AND RAYS. PCGS MS66 CAC A wonderfully original and eye appealing GEM example of this important one year type coin. A razor sharp strike brings all the details of Ms. Liberty’s face, hair, drapery, and all of the other intricate devices are fully defined. Boldly accented by the extraordinary underlying mint bloom, olive, tan, and gold toning really comes to the forefront of the viewer’s attention. While common in most grades thanks to a generous mintage of over 15 million, in ultra high grade like this, the number of survivors are in the in the single digits. The Arrows and Rays type came about under the terms of the 1853 Coinage Act, which reduced the weights of silver coins. This was in response to the wholesale export and melting as the silver content was worth more than face. To make these new standard coins differentiate from earlier issues, arrows were placed next to the date, and a burst of rays above the eagle. Due to striking issues, the rays were removed in 1854.
