THE RANJACK COLLECTION LOT 71 $1 1903-S PCGS MS66 CAC Ex Bella; The Strike Set First off, with a pedigree like this you KNOW the coin is going to be great! A strong, swirling mint luster rolls along both sides. The surfaces are of exceptional, high end quality, totally free of any singularly distracting marks. Only the slightest dusting of clear gold can be seen on the surfaces, but this magnificent GEM will fit nicely in any untoned set. The eye appeal is beyond exceptional for the date. PCGS 41, NGC 8, CAC 11. This remarkable, high end coin sold for $19,550 in the 2011 FUN auction. Only a few coins are graded higher at PCGS, most being MS66+ (6), with 4 coins in MS67 and a single MS67+. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $16,000. Keep in mind that this coin sold for more than that seven years ago! Worthy of another AMAZING cabinet of Morgan dollars, as it has been for many years: Shrike-Bella-RanJack. Good luck! PCGS# 7288 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+50

THE RANJACK COLLECTIONLOT 72$1 1904 PCGS MS66Clearly hand selected for its eyeappeal, the RanJack 1904 Morganis bested by only three coins onthe PCGS Population Report. Bold,swirling cartwheel luster rolls onboth sides bringing out the subtleiridescent peachy-gold tone.Sharply struck and offering a frostedclean, smooth cheek, this GEMstands out from the crowd with agreat eye appeal.PCGS 34, NGC 9. The most recentexample sold in auction brought$5,229 in February 2017, whichfalls in the middle of the range of examples sold since 2016. The current CU value is listed at $7,500 and there are only threecoins graded finer. This lovely GEM is worthy of a serious bid from the advanced Morgan dollar collector working on a veryhigh end set.PCGS# 7290 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ LOT 73 $1 1904-O PCGS MS67 What a HIGH END looking coin! We have looked this coin over and again looking for a reason that CAC did not bean it. After searching high and low with a powerful glass, we think the reason is a pair of tiny planchet flakes above the 9 in the date. Otherwise, this coin has an amazing look! First, the details are deeply embossed by an exacting blow from the dies. The cheek is extremely frosty and smooth, devoid of any serious marks or ticks. A strong luster graces both sides bringing a strong brilliance in the fields. The eye appeal is exceptional for the date and no doubt that this SUPERB coin deserves being ranked among the FINEST graded. PCGS 50, NGC 108. Prices realized going back to 2010 have ranged between $2,640 and $7,050, the majority between $3,000 to $4,000. The current PCGS value is listed at $4,000. There are NONE GRADED FINER, so if you are building a top ranking PCGS Morgan Dollar set, this 1904-O, with its very good looks will certainly fill that hole finally! PCGS# 7292 | ESTIMATE: $3,000+ 51

THE RANJACK COLLECTION LOT 74 $1 1904-S PCGS MS65+ CAC Conditionally, the 1904-S is a very scarce date in GEM and extremely RARE any finer. A hint of striking weakness can be seen in Liberty’s fore curls, but everywhere else in the design, the devices are nicely struck. Even using a strong glass, only a few teeny bagmarks are noted, but none detract from the overall superb eye appeal. PCGS 160, NGC 30, CAC 22. There are only NINE examples graded MS65+ at PCGS. Only two NON-CAC examples have sold via auction, the most recent in June 2016 for $9,694 and the other in February 2014 for $15,275. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,500. Keep in mind a PCGS/CAC MS66 last sold for $32,900 in the 2016 FUN auction. This HIGH END GEM will fit into any high ranking GEM Morgan set! PCGS# 7294 | ESTIMATE: $11,000+ LOT 75 $1 1921 MORGAN. PCGS MS66+ CAC One of the most common silver dollars in the entire series, however, in such a lofty state, even the ubiquitous 1921 is a very scarce coin! A strong luster rolls along both sides more so than on the majority of 1921’s you will see. The surfaces are also extremely clean and the devices sharply defined. Even Liberty’s cheek is very smooth and devoid of any serious marks or even the slightest line and is the extreme in frostiness! The eye appeal of this amazing quality GEM is very high end and we rank this one in the top 1% of all 1921 dollars! PCGS 786, NGC 667, CAC 270. The PCGS Population in MS66+ is 118 and there are only 18 coins graded MS67 finer at that service! The most recent example to sell realized $2,640 in April 2018. While the current CU value is $1,450 this SUPERB coin will see bidding that far exceeds that! Remember any MS67 will cost $10,000 or more! PCGS# 7296 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+52

THE RANJACK COLLECTIONLOT 76$1 1921-D MORGAN. PCGSMS66+ CACVERY HIGH END! The ONLYMorgan dollar issued by the Denvermint. The present exceptionalGEM has a billowy, satin sheenthat graces both sides. The obversehas a light gold at the rims andthe surfaces show exceptionalcleanliness and are free of anydistracting marks, line, or any otherdistractions that would impact theeye appeal.PCGS 510, NGC 299, CAC 211.There are 72 examples graded inMS66+ with only 11 coin graded finer. The most recent example sold for $3,720 in March 2018 and the current CU value is$2,350. Any PCGS MS67 will cost $12,000 or more in today’s market, making this VERY HIGH END GEM a great value forany serious collector!PCGS# 7298 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+ LOT 77 $1 1921-S MORGAN. PCGS MS65+ CAC Clearly a hand-selected example of this final Morgan dollar issue. A strong, satin-like sheen sets the surfaces aglow. The strike is bold throughout and the devices nicely frosted, standing out against the lustrous fields. You can tell the collector spent a long time trying to find the “right” coin with the combination of strike, clean surfaces, and bold luster. PCGS 1363, NGC 775, CAC 50. There are only 86 graded by PCGS in MS65+ and this date is RARE any finer. The current CU value is listed at $1,750, and the most recent example with CAC-approval brought $1,998 in October 2016. This excellent GEM is a fitting end to our offering of the RanJack Collection. This GEM will fit in any high grade set of Morgans! PCGS# 7300 | ESTIMATE: $1,600+ 53

LOT 78 $1 1879-CC MS63 PL CAC Any student of the Morgan dollar series knows that the 79-CC is very scarce in PL. A very lustrous and high end looking 79-CC dollar. The fields show off a brilliantly reflective sheen that combine with a radial cartwheel luster. Contrasting against the well struck and highly frosted devices, the eye appeal is excellent. With the few teeny marks on the cheek and in the fields, we suspect this beauty was once housed in a GSA holder, before being cracked out for grading. PCGS 95, NGC 67, CAC 9. NO CAC-approved MS63 PL graded by either PCGS or NGC has ever sold via auction. The last PCGS MS63 PL to sell brought $6,600 in December 2017 and the current PCGS price is $8,500. A PCGS MS63+ PL CAC sold way back in March 2012 for $8,050. A great coin for any advanced Morgan dollar collector and we expect a drawn out bidding war for this one--it is that nice! PCGS# 7087 | ESTIMATE: $6,500+ LOT 79 $1 1880-CC PCGS MS66+ CAC From the Huron Hills Collection. A lovely, GEM quality example of this slightly better date CC Morgan.

Well struck and offering clean, smooth surfaces that impart a strong eye appeal. PCGS 988, NGC 649, CAC 186. In MS66+ there are 123 at PCGS and 48 at NGC. The most recent PCGS MS66+ CAC sold for $3,120 in April 2018 and the current PCGS value is listed at $3,250. Keep in mind that we sold the most recent PCGS MS67 CAC example for $18,800 in our December 2017 Regency Auction. A coin like this offers a great look, at a level within the budget of most collectors. PCGS# 7100 | ESTIMATE: $2,300+54

PCGS 327, NGC 237, CAC 44. PCGS has graded 20 coins in MS64+ and only 2 coins finer, both MS65. Two have sold in 2018 prior to this auction, one in February for $5,280 and one in the FUN auction for $6,300. Keep in mind that the last PCGS MS65 to sell brought $42,594 back in August 2012 and CU lists a value of $50,000 in that grade. This remarkable coin really should sell for a premium bid.

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.

LOT 95 $1 1892-O PCGS MS66+ CAC This clearly amazing SUPERB GEM is more than worthy of its lofty designation. 30+ years after PCGS was started and 10+ after + came around, this is now the lone MS66+. Talk about rarity or how this date does NOT come. For this cataloger (the same person who wrote up the #1 Coronet Set), this coin was heart pounding love at first sight. How high end is it? We have handled the MS67, we can unhesitatingly tell you it is so darn close to FULL MS67! If we had to grade it, we call it a MS66.9+! Amazing surfaces remind us more of an 1882-S then a 92-O. Overall the surfaces appear super clean and are satiny smooth. Only using a really strong glass can you find a microscopic tick or two. We assure you, this is one of the cleanest 1892-O’s you will ever see. A strong luster glows from all over. The reverse has a ring of pale original reddish gold. There is a small toning dot in the A of America on the reverse. Both sides are an even and totally original creamy white color. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have light frost. Her cheek is beyond amazing when it comes to cleanliness. We just can’t say enough about this coin’s incredible eye appeal! PCGS 5, NGC 5, CAC 1. This is the ONLY MS66+ ever graded. It has never been sold via auction before. PCGS has only one coin graded higher-which is not coming out for a very long time (if it did, our guess is it would be worth closer to $150,000). We laugh at the current Collector’s Universe value of $49,500. How can that be when NONE ever traded? We do expect this coin to realize a much higher price. Any serious Morgan or New Orleans collector should want this amazing piece in their collections. Fresh and better date Morgans like this rarely hit the market. We expect intense bidding here, so be prepared. PCGS# 7288 | ESTIMATE: $47,500+60

Like many dates in the 1890s, the mintage was low, only 400,000 were struck and most of these went right into commerce, or were stored in treasury vaults and were melted in 1918. Either way there are very few coins that grade in such lofty states of preservation. A bold luster swirls around well struck and frosted devices. The surfaces are untoned, and offer a bold flashy look. The eye appeal is very pleasing overall with no serious marks, lines, or discolorations. PCGS 39, NGC 10. A similar looking coin sold in April 2017 for $17,625. The most recent coin had an uneven, somewhat splotchy toning that brought only $12,925--this one is much more attractive and the current PCGS value is listed at $19,000.

Sharply struck on both sides, the devices are crisp and fully defined throughout; Liberty’s hair curls are especially well separated and the eye appeal is stunning!When it comes to early coins, the Lord St. Oswald pedigree is one of the very finest. Taking a V.I.P. tour of the young UnitedStates, the English nobleman traveled throughout the states visiting with such notables as Washington, Jefferson, and others. A polymath, he was a collector of coins and medals, and during his stay in Philadelphia, he retained a number of large cents, half dollars, and a silver dollar. Each of these coins were carefully brought back to England and remained part of the property of the noble family until a 1964 Christie’s sale in London.

THE SOUTH TEXAS COLLECTION LOT 176 H10C 1792 PCGS XF40 CAC92

THE SOUTH TEXAS COLLECTION LOT 176 H10C 1792 PCGS XF40 CAC Ex Col. Green and Eric Newman Collections. Legend Rare Coin Auctions is pleased to present one of the most historically significant issues in early U.S. coinage with one of the most significant pedigrees--what a package! Many pages have been written over the years about the historical nature of the 1792 half disme. Over the years it has attained a mythical stature in the chronicles of American numismatic history, making it one of the most desirable coins. Directly linked to such founding luminaries as George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and David Rittenhouse, holding a 1792 half disme in ANY GRADE is a portal back to those early days, shortly after the April 1792 Act of Congress that established a federal mint at Philadelphia, and struck before the first buildings were even completed. The legend is that the Washingtons personally contributed their household silver to be refined and struck into the planchets, although that myth has been generally debunked, but still provides an excellent story to tell. About 1,500 half dismes were struck in John Harper’s cellar. The entire emission was delivered to Thomas Jefferson, who as Secretary of State oversaw the mint, and he delivered them to George Washington at Mount Vernon on his way to Montecello. The Colonel E.H.R. Green- Eric P. Newman coin is the “PERFECT” collector grade half disme. Many of the known examples (about 150 or so examples) have significant problems such as heavy scratches, holes, environmental damage, or otherproblems that preclude numerical grading), or are much lower grade, clearly these did circulate as George Washington notedin his 4th address to Congress, where he stated, “There has been a small beginning in the coinage of half dismes: the want of small coins in circulation calling the first attention to them.” The even wear is generally problem free and the pewter-dove patina is rich and original with some deeper blue-slate patina clinging to the obverse legends. There are a few ancient scrapes noted but can be overlooked in the context of the great eye appeal the present “GEM” XF possesses. PCGS 5, NGC 5, CAC 3. This coin’s pedigree prior to Col. Green is unknown; however it was part of the Green Estatepurchased by Burdette Johnson and Eric Newman (who paid $125). This coin had been retained by the Newman NumismaticEducational Society (EPNNES) as part of a type set, then consigned and sold in November 2017, where as an NGC/CAC coin it sold for $132,000. This coin has a lot to offer the collector. It is a major numismatic rarity, ranking among the top 20 in the top 100 U.S. coins compiled by Jeff Garrett. It’s historical significance as the first regular issue coin struck under the auspicesof the Mint Act of April 1792 that established the U.S. Mint. It’s provenance is famous and impressive. Bringing it all together, this is one of the most important rare coins we have had the pleasure of offering! A world class coin that will excite strong bidding! PCGS# 11020 | ESTIMATE: $115,000+ 93

A delicate teal, olive, gold, and blue iridescent toning frames the devices, giving it a nearly cameo look. The Robert Scot’s design elements are nicely struck up.
