THE REGENCY AUCTION 37 Auction Room: Barnes Thursday, March 26th at 5:30PM ET Welcome to Regency Auction 37 and the City of Brotherly Love! This is our second auction that is not being held in conjunction with the PCGS Members Only Show. We are so excited to present this incredible offering to market in this auction! One of our best selections ever, this auction, containing 429 lots, is diverse, fresh, and very high-end overall. The sale starts out with our anchor collection, The Seattle Collection. Formed over the last 20 years ago, mostly 10-15 years ago, with just a few more recent additions. This collection features several old holder coins, and coins that have not been evaluated for regrades. Complete sets of two cent, three cent silvers, three cent nickels, Shield nickels, Liberty nickels, and related patterns. Our catalogers, Greg Cohen and Liz Coggan, have marveled at the freshness and quality. Clearly this collection was carefully assembled by a dedicated collector. Highlights abound in this wonderful collection, with many that rank among the finest graded. At the conclusion of the Seattle Collection, we continue the sale with very cool type coins in all series, from a choice Connecticut copper to half cents, large cents, Buffalo nickels, Walking Liberty half dollars, and everything in between. We also have two delightful proof sets available, an 1868 Proof Set that is complete from 1C to $1, and being sold individually, and an 1884 Proof Set being sold as a single lot. A small but impressive selection of Morgan dollars, gold and commemoratives close out the sale.

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. We are here to help you!

OUR TEAM Laura was raised in Highland Park, NJ. During high school, the coin bug hit her hard. Her trip to the 1976 NYC ANA left a lasting mark and huge desire for her to own and handle the greatest rarities. While attending Monmouth University, Laura attended coin shows more than classes. After college, she started LSS RCI, a wholesale coin company. In 1986, she realized the need for a “better” coin retailer and teamed up in 1986 with George Huang to form Legend Numismatics. In 1996 Bruce Morelan became a partner and since then Legend has exclusively built or assisted in assembling this generation’s greatest collections. In 2012 Laura saw the need for a smaller, boutique auction firm, and created Legend-Morphy with Dan Morphy, whom she split with in 2014. Today, Laura is also a leading consumer advocate for coins. The passion has never subsided, and she keeps a beautiful Proof Walker on her desk to this day. Laura Sperber Partner Bruce started collecting coins when he was only six years old and by the time he was in high school his dream was to be a coin dealer. But life intervened and instead, Bruce went into business. By chance, he became Legend Numismatics’ financial backer in 1996. His great grandmother had given him three coins when he was young, one of which being a Trade Dollar, so he set out to build the finest Trade Dollar set. After a few years with ultra rarities, Bruce returned to his love of dollars and completed both a set of Gobrechts and a set of Seated Dollars. After selling those sets, Bruce recently returned to dollars with a new Gobrecht set and a spectacular early dollar set capped by his dream coin, the Amon Carter 1794 Dollar. Not many collector’s can say they have completed not only the finest 1794-1885 Dollar Sets and have over the years owned such coins as two 1913 Liberty Head Nickels, an 1894-S Dime, 1876-CC Twenty Cent piece, 1827 Original and Restrike Quarters, 1838-O Half Dollar, two 1885 Trade Dollars and four 1884 Trade Dollars!

LOT 9 2C 1870 PCGS MS65 RD CAC While the mintage was of decent size at just under a million pieces, the 1870 is incredibly RARE in GEM Red grades. This MS65 RD is among the FINEST graded, just a single MS66 RD is graded higher. This is a gorgeous, original RED example, housed in an old green tag holder. The wonderful mint red color, amplified by a bold, radiant brilliance, glimmers all over with some delicate peach and apricot hues toward the obverse peripheries. Totally original surfaces show just a few tiny, stray marks which is all we see keeping it back from an even higher grade. PCGS 18, NGC 9, CAC 3. In the last decade there have been four appearances of a PCGS/CAC MS65 RD, ranging from $4,080 to $11,163. The presently offered coin was NOT CAC approved in its last appearance, when it realized $4,700 six years ago. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,250 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $5,620. The single MS66 RD has never appeared in auction, and is not CAC approved. If you demand only the FINEST in CAC approved examples this is as fine as you can get. Good luck! PCGS# 3608 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ LOT 10 2C 1871 PCGS MS65+ RD CAC WOW! What a wonderful example of this conditionally rare date! Rarely seen with full red coloration; but couple that designation with the GEM grade, CAC approval, and bold eye appeal, this 1871 2C gives you the full package! This is an interesting coin, almost a tale of two sides, if you will. The obverse luster is fully prooflike with full watery mirrored reflection. The reverse, conversely is a rich, satiny sheen. Despite the different texures, both sides offer a bold red color, sharply rendered devices and surfaces with a minimal number of flecks or traces of contact. The eye appeal is exceptional in every way! PCGS 17, NGC 13, CAC 5. There are just two in MS65+ RD and seven finer. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $10,000 and keep in mind, that there are NONE with CAC graded finer. If you are putting together a CAC set, you cannot find a finer example anywhere. The last CAC MS65 RD sold for $8,225 in our March 2019 Regency Auction. Worthy of a very strong bid, and will find itself at home in any world class 2C collection. PCGS# 3611 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ 11

LOT 11 2C 1872 PCGS MS65+ RD CAC This is an absolutely amazing GEM example of this very challenging issue. The 1872 2 cent piece was the final year struck for circulation, and only 65,000 were produced. Most did not retain their mint red coloration, and any RED is a major condition rarity. The presently offered coin clearly ranks among the finest without even looking at the Population Report; a fact that is confirmed by the PCGS Population figures, only 2 are graded MS65+ RD and four are finer, all MS66 RD. Incredible, brilliant RED mint luster rolls vividly on both sides of this exceptionally high end coin. The obverse boasts a hint of semi -reflectivity that accents the wonderfully smooth, clean, radiant surfaces. Every detail is sharply struck, crisply rendered by a precision blow from the dies.
