LOT 315 $1 1894-S PCGS MS65 While stuck in with major key dates, the 94-S is sometimes overlooked for the condition rarity that it truly is. The currently offered MS65 level is about as high a grade as most collectors can ever hope to own. A satiny brilliant GEM example, with mostly untoned surfaces save for a blush of faint color near the date. Pleasing in terms of technical and visual qualities, this coin is VERY RARE any finer. PCGS 175, NGC 38. The wide range of APRs for PCGS MS65s without CAC going back to December 2017 is $4,657 and this one sold for $4,818 back in March 2017. The current PCGS value is listed at $5,750. If you are working on a high grade set, take a look at this one and bid accordingly. PCGS# 7232| ESTIMATE: $3,500+ LOT 316 $1 1895-S PCGS MS65 For the series, the 95-S has a relatively low mintage of 400,000, and they generally disappeared into circulation. Most seen today are lower grades, VF or lower. In Mint State, this date is very scarce, with certified GEMS being VERY RARE, fewer than four rolls worth of coins have been seen by PCGS and NGC combined in MS65 or finer. This highly lustrous example has traces of subtle reflective flash brought out by a bold, rolling cartwheel luster. Generally well struck, there is just a touch of bluntness in some of the hair curls above the ear. Liberty’s cheek is smooth, clean, free of distractions, and well rounded. There are a few minor ticks in the fields, which account for the MS65 grade. The eye appeal is very high end. PCGS 48, NGC 12. Two examples have sold in auction in 2019, one for $15,600 and the other for $13,200 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $19,500. Just 10 have graded finer at PCGS, the last MS65+ selling for $25,200 in the 2019 FUN auction. This one is bound for a wonderful set of GEM Morgans. PCGS# 7238 | ESTIMATE: $11,000+ LOT 317 $1 1896 PCGS MS67 A pearlescent luster blooms all over with a satiny glow. An apricot-gold blush of color at the upper obverse adds to the eye appeal of this well struck SUPERB GEM. PCGS 245, NGC 66. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $1,500, and this one sold for $1,645 in a July 2016 auction. There are 38 graded higher. What a pleasing example of the date. Worthy of a strong bid. PCGS# 7240 | ESTIMATE: $1,100+ 149

LOT 318 $1 1897-S PCGS MS67 Exceptionally brilliant mint luster radiates with an intensity that is seen on 80-S, 81-S, and 82-S dollars. Everything about this SUPERB GEM screams high end quality and eye appeal. Vivid silver luster booms all over, with strong cartwheels. Mostly untoned, blast white silver with just a gentle trace of golden tone at the peripheries adds greatly to the exceptional eye appeal. The devices are frosted, and stand out with a strong, crisp strike from an exacting blow from the dies. We have looked this coin over and over, and cannot understand why CAC did not bean this SUPERB GEM; everything is PQ! PCGS 30, NGC 12. The last non-CAC example brought $7,200 in July 2018 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $7,000. Excessively RARE any finer, PCGS has graded just five coins higher, we know this coin will see very strong bidding. Anything finer is a $15,000 coin. PCGS# 7250 | ESTIMATE: $6,500+ LOT 319 $1 1898-O PCGS MS66 CAC From our fabled sale of the Simpson/Sunnywood Collection. Rolling cartwheel luster and mint bloom sport MAGNIFICENT color in a riot of intermingled topaz blue, deep red, fiery orange, honey gold and violet obverse hues. An end of the roll toner with a white reverse. A few insignificant, scattered tick marks are visible. Sharp strike. Superb eye appeal. To further lend credence to the eye appeal of this piece, it is significant to note that although Collectors Universe price guide is $245, this coin fetched a whopping $969 in our Regency Auction IX in October 2014! PCGS# 7254 | ESTIMATE: $900+ LOT 320 $1 1898-O PCGS MS67+ CAC A glorious SUPERB example that has a bold, semi- reflective mint luster that gleams from all over. This is a truly magnificent example that combines all the attributes that anyone assembling a Morgan dollar set, or anyone looking for a SUPERIOR example for type purposes. The fields and devices are pristine, with nary even the tiniest tick or line visible, even with the aid of a strong glass. Indeed we can only find only the slightest break in the frost on Liberty’s cheek. The fields show off a splendid and flashy brilliant luster that combines a semi-PL reflection with bold cartwheels and a strong satin gleam. For an O-mint dollar, the strike is bold and crisp, with bold definition even in the hair curls above Liberty’s ear and eagle’s breast feathers. A touch of peripheral gold makes the silver centers stand out with an even bolder vibrance. PCGS 345, NGC 188, CAC 131. PCGS has graded 32 in MS67+ and NONE ARE GRADED FINER! The most recent sold in our September 2019 Regency Auction for $7,931 and PCGS lists a value of $9,500. This is a coin that is bound for a world class Morgan dollar collection and should see very spirited bidding when it crosses the block. Good luck! PCGS# 7254 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ 150

LOT 321 $1 1899-O PCGS MS67+ CAC Ultra satiny and brilliant, this gorgeous, untoned SUPERB GEM ranks among the FINEST certified examples of this date. A strong mint luster radiates around the nearly pristine surfaces and exceptionally well executed strike. The devices are about as sharp as you could hope for this New Orleans date, which often comes with a blunt, not sharp, impression of the hair curls and breast feathers. The reverse die was clashed and extensively cracked along the periphery, adding charm to the visual appeal. No singularly significant tick or mark of any kind can be found anywhere, even utilizing the strongest of glasses. The eye appeal is strong and this high grade coin is only bested by a single MS68 finer. PCGS 226, NGC 117, CAC 68. PCGS has graded a total of 28 in MS67+ and as stated a single 68 finer. The 10 MS67+ CAC coins that have sold in auction have brought an average APR of $11,132 and the most example we sold at the time of this writing was in our June 2019 Regency Auction for $9,694, and in May 2019, we sold one for $13,513. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,000 and keep in mind that the only 68 last sold in the 2009 FUN auction for $29,900. This is a great candidate for inclusion in a world class Morgan dollar set and stands out among the BEST seen! PCGS# 7260 | ESTIMATE: $8,500+ LOT 322 LOT 323 $1 1899-S PCGS MS65+ CAC $1 1900 PCGS MS67 CAC This is a wonderful example of the date. A bold, vibrant mint A satiny frosty example of this turn of the century date and a luster radiates with a strong rolling cartwheel effect on both high end survivor. This is the optimal grade for collectors as it sides. Showing good definition in the strike, Liberty’s show is extremely rare any finer and the values increase accordingly. ample detail in all the devices. The surfaces are clean, free of any None are graded higher than MS67+. The brilliance of the luster distracting marks or ticks and the eye appeal is very pleasing. shimmers and gleams on both sides, with radial, cartwheels when rotated in a light. Though we see some minor weakness in some PCGS 576, NGC 156, CAC 54. PCGS has graded 26 in MS65+ areas, the strike is better than usually seen on this date. Pleasing, and tis date is scarce finer. The most recent one to sell sold in our original surfaces are PQ and clean, a strong glass fails to reveal January 2019 Regency Auction for $1,704 and the current PCGS anything but the most minute tick, allowing this SUPERB GEM to value is listed at $2,050. Oh so close to the next grade up, this boast a wonderful look. coin has a look that will delight even the pickiest of collectors. PCGS 80, NGC 54, CAC 15. The most recent PCGS MS67 CAC PCGS# 7262 | ESTIMATE: $1,600+ sold for $5,170 in our May 2019 Regency Auction. Listed in the PCGS Price Guide at $4,500 and in the CAC CPG for $6,250, this is the highest grade that is readily obtainable for the collector; the PCGS value jumps to $21,500 in 67+. PCGS# 7264 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ 151

LOT 324 $1 1900-O/CC. PCGS MS66+ CAC This coin is as close to MS67 as you can get! If it were any 80S it possibly would have made MS67 (NO Promises). We have seen a few of these, we clearly rank this coin as one of the VERY BEST! Remarkable surfaces are incredibly clean. There is a small scrape you need a strong glass to see hidden on the reverse. Its probably what kept this coin from a full MS67. An exceptional luster beams boldly from all over. Both sides are an original white. There are no spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck. You do NOT need a glass to see the O/ CC. Also, her cheek will please any fussy collector. The eye appeal is superb! PCGS 132, NGC 9, CAC 51. PCGS has graded 18 in MS66+. PCGS has graded only an MS67 and and MS67+ higher. Its critical to note the MS67 last sold for $37,375 in 2011! We think that coin is easily worth $50,000.00+ today. The quality this coin offers here should be worth much more. then an average MS66+ Technically nothing should be average). If you are a Morgan Collector, we invite you to check this rarity out. It will be a great fit in ANY top collection! PCGS# 7268 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ LOT 325 $1 1901 PCGS MS63 CAC One of the rarest dates in Mint State grades, the 1901 is a very popular Philadelphia mint. Unlike many other dates that were held in quantity in Treasury vaults that were released in the 1940s to the 1960s, either the vast majority of the nearly seven million coins struck went directly into circulation or the mass quantities that were stored in the Treasury vaults were melted under the orders from the 1918 Pittman Act. Either way, not counting the 1895 Proof Only issue, this is the RAREST Philadelphia Mint issue to find in Mint State. This example is exceptionally high end for the grade. Fully CHOICE, this beautifully preserved MS63 is truly deserving of its CAC endorsement. The lustrous surfaces are bold and brilliant with a vibrance rarely seen on this date. Minimally scuffed or marked, none of the few tiny ticks have a negative affect on the overall PQ for the grade eye appeal. PCGS 152, NGC 92, CAC 26. The last PCGS/CAC example realized $13,200 in the 2019 ANA auction. The current Collectors Universe value is $12,000 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $13,900. This is the highest grade that most collectors can dream of owning. Just 46 have graded finer and nay MS64 with CAC approval will cost between $50,000 and $60,000! This is a coin that is worthy of a very high end Registry Set. Good luck! PCGS# 7272 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ 152

LOT 326 $1 1901 DOUBLED DIE REVERSE. PCGS AU58 CAC On this rare variety the doubling is most evident along the lower eagle’s details and in E PLURIBUS UNUM. The bold strike helps to show off the prominent doubling on the tailfeathers, wing feathers and olive leaves as well as on the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. A trace of golden orange toning contrasts beautifully with highly lustrous and frosty surfaces. Rare in Mint State. PCGS 21, NGC 11, CAC 5. This coin was sold in our Regency Auction 26 in May 2018 for $14,100. Two examples also sold in January 2019 for $10,200 and $10,281 respectively. The cut off point before the prices sky rocket in Mint State! A prize for the Morgan dollar specialist. PCGS# 7302 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+ LOT 327 $1 1901-S PCGS MS66 An intense, brilliant, cartwheel luster blooms all over on both sides. The eye appeal of this resplendent GEM is imparted by a radiating luster that rolls around smoothly uninterrupted. There are a few very minor traces of contact seen with the aid of a strong glass on this untoned GEM. While the mintage of 2,284,000 was moderate, clearly these were released to commercial channels and stored in treasury vaults, where they would meet the great silver dollar melts authorized by the 1918 Pittman Act. Any Choice Mint State or finer 1901-S is scarce, and indeed RARE in GEM grades. PCGS 36, NGC 5. Though the most recent example sold in November 2019 for $6,000, we sold a similar example in our May 2019 Regency Auction for $8,225; the current PCGS value is about the average of the two APRs, listed at $7,500. This date is VERY RARE any finer, with just 11 graded higher, 8 in 66+ and 3 in 67. Bound for a wonderful Morgan set. PCGS# 7276 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ 153

LOT 328 $1 1902-O PCGS MS66+ CAC Very pleasing and bordering on the SUPERB category, this highly lustrous, satiny brilliant MS66+ is PQ and very eye appealing. Well struck for a New Orleans Morgan dollar, the devices are well formed with nice, crisp definition. The surfaces offer a satiny smooth brilliance that fails to reveal any mark, line, or tick of consequence. The eye appeal is quite nice. PCGS 950, NGC 676, CAC 257. PCGS has graded 154 in MS66+. The average of the last 10 APRs for PCGS MS66+ CAC examples is $1,229 and the current Collectors Universe value is $1,200. For a “common” date, fewer than 50 have graded higher, mostly MS67 and NONE higher than 67+. PCGS# 7280 | ESTIMATE: $1,000+ LOT 329 $1 1902-O NGC MS67+ One of, if not the FINEST KNOWN example of this date. Tied with just one other at NGC at this lofty state of preservation, neither of which has ever sold via auction, this lustrous, SUPERB GEM is a highlight of the present offering of Morgan dollars. Incredibly clean surfaces and well struck up devices stand out. The surfaces are thickly frosted with a radiant mint luster that is boldly brilliant throughout on both sides, accenting the crisply rendered devices and and pristine surface quality. The eye appeal is beyond bold, and this coin is essentially as struck and looks like it just came off the dies. PCGS 2, NGC 2. None of these have ever sold in auction, thus, putting a value on this SUPERB GEM is quite the difficult task. We suspect that this coin will bring a world record price when the hammer falls, exceeding the record we achieved in June 2019 for a PCGS MS67 CAC that brought $19,388. In 67+ the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $65,000. This coin is bound for a world class Morgan dollar collection and it is very pleasing and high end to say the least. Again, we expect record bidding for this one! PCGS# 7280 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ OUR ESTIMATES The estimates you see published in this catalog are based on HAMMER.

LOT 330 $1 1902-S PCGS MS66+ CAC Ex Gold River Collection. WOW! This is an unbelievably high end, superlative quality GEM example! While a large number of 02-S dollars were released from treasury values in the 1920s-1950s, the vast majority of these are lower Mint State grades, and this date remains quite elusive in GEM or higher grades; in MS66 and higher fewer than 80 have been graded combined between PCGS and NGC. This coin ranks among the 16 highest graded at PCGS. High end and boldly lustrous, this frosty beauty is high end and blast silver white. The surfaces are unmarred by any distracting marks of any kind. An expert strike has rendered all but the highest design elements with crisp, complete definition. The eye appeal is stunning! PCGS 65, NGC 7, CAC 12. There are just 11 coins in MS66+ and a mere five finer. An example sold in September 2019 for $26,400 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,000. With just five graded higher, this date is virtually unobtainable in SUPERB condition and this coin will fit into any very carefully selected Registry Set! PCGS# 7282 | ESTIMATE: $20,000+ LOT 331 LOT 332 $1 1903 PCGS MS67 $1 1903-O PCGS MS67 CAC This lustrous, sharply struck beauty is as fresh today as it was SUPERB in every way. The 1903-O is a very popular story coin the day it came off the dies. Generally clean SUPERB grade among the Morgan dollar series. Once thought to be a major surfaces have a strong, swirling brilliance on both sides of this rarity, a release of original mint bags in the early 1960s made this untoned beauty. A couple of ancient ticks may account for its not one of the more available dates. However, because so many were getting a CAC bean, but the eye appeal is nice. stored in mint bags, coins in MS67 are still rare. Sharply struck devices are frosted standing against a bold, satiny cartwheel PCGS 117, NGC 109. The current PCGS Price Guide value is bloom. A light touch of tone at the rim by the date is noted, as are listed at $2,500 and the average APR going back to October 2014 a few very minor ticks that are mentioned only for accuracy. for non-CAC, PCGS coins is $2,524. There are just 14 graded MS67+ finer, and those are worth around $10,000. This is a PCGS 118, NGC 54, CAC 26. In the last two plus years, we have pleasing SUPERB GEM for a high end set. sold four examples, selling between $7,638 and the record for the date $8,519 in our December 2018 Regency Auction. All those PCGS# 7284| ESTIMATE: $2,000+ records are well above both the CAC CPG and PCGS Price Guide values. Only 4 in MS67+ have graded higher at PCGS, and none have ever sold. This is a great coin worthy of a very strong bid. PCGS# 7286 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ 155

LOT 333 $1 1903-S PCGS MS66 Here is another very difficult to locate date in GEM. What a wonderful example for the advanced collector. Crisply impressed design elements stand out against radiating cartwheel mint luster. The surfaces show a microscopic tick or two which are seen on both sides. The devices have a warm, satiny sheen and the smooth surfaces are a delight to behold. The eye appeal is enhanced by some dappled iridescent tone. PCGS 41, NGC 8. Two examples sold in the 2019 FUN auction, one for $15,600 and the other for $15,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $20,000. Just 18 coins have graded higher, and are rarely seen. This one will see competitive bidding when the hammer falls. PCGS# 7288 | ESTIMATE: $12,500+ LOT 334 LOT 335 $1 1904-S PCGS MS64 $1 1921 MORGAN. PCGS MS66+ CAC A high grade example of this conditionally challenging San Everything about this last year of issue GEM is high end! Bold, Francisco mint issue.

There are 139 in MS66+. The most recent examples sold for $1,440 and $1,500. Just 18 are graded PCGS 458, NGC 226.

PCGS# 7294| ESTIMATE: $4,000+ 156

LOT 336 $1 1902 PCGS PR67+ CAC Exceptionally high end and totally original, this SUPERB GEM Proof 1902 Morgan dollar used to reside in an NGC PR68 holder, ex Jack Lee Collection. If you know how this date usually comes, you unhesitatingly have to agree this coin really is one of the very best that exists! This coin has extremely deep mirrors which boom (not just beam from) all over. The mirrors are ultimate in cleanliness, clarity, and have a bold reflection. You don’t even have to twirl this coin to see rolling liquid mercury. A mellow but lively mix of original pale golden brown champagne colors swirl in patches all over. This coin has so much life you really need sunglasses to view it! Miss Liberty and the details are needle sharp and fully struck. They also have a delicate silvery frost (note 1902-1904 silver proofs are very rare in cameo). The eye appeal is like the quality-amazing! Only 777 Proofs were struck. PCGS 7, NGC 10, CAC 5. Just two examples have ever graded PR67+ at PCGS and only this one has ever sold in auction for about $20,000 and the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,000. EXTREMELY RARE any finer, there are just three in PR68 graded higher. This exceptional quality coin boasts not just a great look, but also one of the very best pedigrees for Morgan dollars. Good luck! PCGS# 7337 | ESTIMATE: $19,000+ LOT 337 $1 1922-D PCGS MS66+ CAC Tied for second FINEST graded by PCGS, a coin that is in distinct company among 30 others graded MS66+. As with many high grade examples, this lovely coin shows what silver dollar experts Wayne Miller and John Highfill call “orange peel”” which Dave Bowers’ Silver Dollar Encyclopedia notes is possibly caused by the resurfacing of the dies with an abrasive wire brush or from die wear. The present example shows surfaces that suggest a rusted die but was not cracked as seen on the examples that we sold in September and December 2019. A dusting of the faintest lilac and clear gold can be seen when the highly lustrous surfaces catch the light at the right angles. Sharply struck up, the devices have a bold definition throughout. The only marks of consequence are the mint made roughness from the obverse die, and are part of the minting process, not playing a part in the technical grade. The 22-D is available in Mint State grades, thanks in part to a large hoard of some 50 bags that were located in the early 1990s. That said, in GEM and higher grades, it is a scarce date, and is VERY RARE in MS66+ and excessively so in MS67. The most recent example to sell in auction brought $7,050 in our September 2019 Regency Auction and the other two sold in 2019 as of this writing brought $6,600 and $7,200. The current Collectors Universe value is $6,000 and this one will likely sell for more. Good luck! PCGS# 7358 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ 157

Sharply struck up devices and patina on both sides, which is enhanced by a bold, brilliant luster. generally very clean surfaces add to the outstanding visual Sharply struck and boasting a memorable eye appeal, this coin allure. will sell for a strong premium! PCGS 439, NGC 249, CAC 64. The most recent PCGS/CAC PCGS# 7360 | ESTIMATE: $750+ example realized $1,980 in December 2019 and the current CAC CPG value is $1,880. Quite RARE any finer, this GEM is worthy of a GEM Peace dollar set. PCGS# 7359| ESTIMATE: $1,400+ LOT 340 $1 1923-D PCGS MS66+ CAC The 23-D is conditionally scarce in any grade above MS65+ and this is a GEM of the highest order, indeed, this PQ 66+ is tied for second highest graded at PCGS and bested by a single MS67. Shocking, intense luster for the date radiates with a bold brilliance on both sides. Boldly struck up with fully defined, crisply rendered details. Generally clean surfaces show only a couple of insignificant marks. The obverse die was pretty well shattered when this one was struck, with a number of spidery cracks that cross the lower portion of that side. Very eye appealing and high end quality. PCGS 124, NGC 28, CAC 28. There are a dozen graded MS66+ at PCGS and just a single MS67 graded higher. The last PCGS MS66+ CAC sold for $16,450 in February 2017, hard to believe but that was nearly 3 years ago! The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $17,500. With the single 67 not CAC approved, if you demand only CAC approved coins this is as fine as it gets! Bound for a strong bid and a world class cabinet! PCGS# 7361 | ESTIMATE: $13,000+ 158

LOT 341 $1 1924 PCGS MS67 CAC You could not hope for a more original SUPERB GEM 1924! Superb surfaces offer a thick satiny texture. This coin has few hits and just a few faint frost breaks. A more typical decent luster beams from all over. Some faint light gold toning swirls around both sides, but the coin is a natural white color; This coin will fit in a white set. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and are fully struck. PCGS 44, NGC 97, CAC 30. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell via auction brought $8,812 in May 2019. Demand for a coin like this is very strong. Be prepared for strong bidding! PCGS# 7363 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ LOT 342 $1 1926 PCGS MS66+ CAC Tied for FINEST graded at PCGS. This piece is so CHOICE it could be the first to break the barrier into MS67 status (no guarantees)! A honey of a coin with incredibly rich mint bloom and frost graced by tinges of champagne gold and wispy highlights of baby blue, which is so soft, it is barely noticeable. A couple of tiny marks on the eagle’s tail feathers are noted under strong magnification. PCGS 306; NGC 55, CAC 62. Only 36 pieces have graded 66+.In June and August of 2019, two pieces sold for $7,200 each. In our Regency Auction 35, December 2019 we sold an example for $6,756.

This beauty will see strong bidding for sure. VERY RARE and pricey any finer, so don’t let this opportunity pass you by! PCGS# 7368 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+ 159

LOT 344 $1 1926-D PCGS MS66+ CAC Truly HIGH END and wonderfully preserved, the 26-D is conditionally RARE so fine.

The high of $17,038 was achieved in our March 2019 Regency Auction on an estimate of $7,000 to $7,500. This is a great coin for an excellent Gem Registry Set, worthy of a strong bid.

LOT 352 G$1 1903 LA PURCHASE. MCKINLEY. PCGS PR67 CAM The single FINEST graded example of this extremely RARE Proof classic gold commemorative dollar. Approximately 100 Proofs were struck, which were distributed to well connected collectors and other V.I.P.s of the era, and as such, most of them are estimated to survive today (PCGS estimates 90 survive in all grades). This one is the single FINEST in the CAM designation. Deep, bold mirrors are crystal clear, clean, and have intense reflectivity, with that signature liquid look when you twirl the coin. All of the details are fully struck and have thick, spotless gold frost. The eye appeal is fantastic! Only 100 were struck. PCGS 1, NGC 1. Extremely RARE so fine: a PR66+ CAM sold in April 2016 for $30,550 and the PR67 non-CAM last sold in April 2006 for $46,000! In PR67, PCGS has not yet listed a value, but in non-CAM 67, it is listed at $46,000. This is a real prize for any advanced classic commem specialist who demands the absolute FINEST for their set. Good luck, we anticipate very strong bidding when this beauty crosses the block. PCGS# 7483 | ESTIMATE: $28,000+ 165

LOT 353 G$1 1866 PCGS MS67+ CAC What can we say? This coin absolutely knocked us off our feet when we first saw it. It is not just a great coin, it is a SUPER HIGH END MONSTER KILLER piece! Just look at the pedigree, now you see why... At first glance, this coin looks like a proof. Incredible mirrors are 6”+ deep. The mirrors are also super clean. When you twirl this coin, the mirrors look like a freshly formed sheet of ice. We see no reason why this coin would earn the PL designation (we won’t 100% promise it due to the who knows why factor). Both sides enjoy a tremendous flash and luster pop. The color is a GEMMY original orange gold. There are zero spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and every detail are needle sharp are thickly frosted. Both sides have incredible FULL contrast. The eye appeal is just jaw dropping and insane! PCGS 4, NGC 4, CAC 4. PCGS has graded 4 in MS67+ and 3 in MS68 (good luck finding one of those). The last one PCGS CAC MS67+ to sell in auction brought $22,325 in March 2019. Seeing is believing here. This coin would not have been personally owned by Legendary dealer David Akers or his long time friend Dr Duckor if it was anything less then a monster. We can not imagine the other MS67+ looking this MONSTER! If you are building a box of 20, or a G $1 set, you need this coin! PCGS# 7565 | ESTIMATE: $22,500+ 166

Only 3,000 coins were struck and today, this MS64+ ranks among the highest graded survivors. A full satin gold luster swirls on both sides with accents of semi prooflike reflection in the fields. Close inspection with a loupe reveals only one superficial scuff on the left obverse; the rest of the surfaces are very clean overall. Both sides have an intensely brilliant yellow gold hue and Miss Liberty and the details are super frosty and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is great! PCGS 7, NGC 2, CAC 3. This is NOT the MS64 that sold for $11,750 in our July 2018 sale of the Chester Roche Collection. In MS64+ this is the only one graded, and has not sold in auction before, but Collectors Universe lists a value of $15,000. Only a half dozen are graded higher, a PCGS/CAC MS65 sold in the 2015 ANA auction for $37,600! This borderline GEM is worthy of a very high end set of gold dollars and we anticipate an intense round of bidding when this coin crosses the block.

Today, this marvelous, borderline GEM grade specimen ranks within the condition census for the date. The eye appeal is wonderful, boasting beaming, fully prooflike luster on both sides. Every detail is crisply rendered by a forceful blow from the dies. The only marks in the fields are mint made, from a few tiny lint marks to a few scattered planchet flakes. We note the originality of the surfaces, a lovely departure from what is typically seen in the marketplace. PCGS 5, NGC 1, CAC 1. This is the ONLY MS64+ and there are eight coins graded finer. We cannot find a record for this near-GEM example having sold, and PCGS lists a value of $75,000 in MS64+. A non-CAC MS64 sold in the 2016 FUN auction for $39,950 and the Garrett-Pogue MS65 sold in September 2015 for $76,375. Again, neither have CAC approval. In regular MS64, the CAC CPG value is listed at $56,900 so this MS64+ CAC should be worth considerably more! Good luck to the winning bidder, these dates are tougher to find than you might think!

Totally original golden luster blooms on both sides with a rich, satiny mint frost. This billowing texture of brilliance accents the devices of this sharply struck, flawless SUPERB GEM. The eye appeal is marvelous! PCGS 16, NGC 34, CAC 14. Only two are graded MS67+ at PCGS and neither have appeared at auction. This coin is exceptionally high end and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $11,000. the most recent CAC-approved MS67 was graded by NGC, realizing $8,400 in October 2019.

Not a rare date, but also not common in CAC-approved GEM grades either. Indeed, less than 5% of MS65s have beaned. Nicely struck, this satiny lustrous coin has a strong brilliance on both sides. The warm honey-tangerine gold patina graces both sides. Generally clean, devoid of all but the most insignificant little lines and traces of contact, mostly hidden in the reverse. The eye appeal is exceptional. PCGS 537, NGC 433, CAC 48. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $2,200 in our June 2016 Premier Session; that is three and a half years ago! Amazing that none have sold since! The CAC CPG value is $2,380. As a date, it is rare finer, with 24 in 65+ and 24 in 66 (no doubt inflated by resubmissions). Add this one to your set. Good luck!

LOT 359 $3 1867 PCGS MS64 PL CAC At first glance this over the top magnificent SUPER PROOFLIKE HIGH END GEM looks like a Proof! From an original mintage of 2,600, the 1867 $3 is one of the silent stoppers of the series. Amazing surfaces border on sheer perfection. Fully prooflike mirrors beam intensely from all over. Add the strong luster and you really need shades on to view this killer piece. Even if you use a strong glass and look all over really hard, you will find virtually nothing except maybe a tick, Mint made striations, and a small scuff. Nothing looks negative to the naked eye. Both sides are a GEM deep gold color with light rose highlights. The contrast is amazing. Miss Liberty and every detail are fully struck and standout with thick frost. The eye appeal is just amazing too! This is the ONLY PL MS64 graded by PCGS. In regular MS64 the Population Data is: PCGS 2, NGC 3, CAC 2. There has not been a 64 sold since November 2006, a coin that sold for $21,850. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,000 in MS64 and not priced in MS64 PL. Bidding will be fierce when this GEM crosses the block! Don’t let this coin pass you by if you are working on a set of $3 gold. PCGS# 87988 | ESTIMATE: $25,000+ 170

LOT 360 $3 1868 PCGS MS62 CAC Looks better than just an MS62 to us! The surfaces overall exhibit a few light ticks/scuffs. They are small and nothing stands out or is serious. They only appear because of the strong semi-prooflike surfaces. The luster is bold and blazes from all over. Both sides enjoy a beautiful and totally original deeper gold color mix with highlights of reddish gold around the details. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and have delicate frost. The eye appeal is excellent! Only 4850 were minted. PCGS 51, NGC 26, CAC 6. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $5,405 in January 2018. The current CAC Value for an MS62 is $5,620.

LOT 361 $3 1887 PCGS MS66+ CAC Tied for SECOND FINEST graded at PCGS, with just a single MS67 ever having graded higher. Only 6,000 were struck and the vast majority of survivors are lower Mint State grades, this date becomes quite scarce in GEM MS65 and is virtually unobtainable any finer. Brilliant golden color glows and shows off a rich luster that radiates dramatically off the silky smooth surfaces. The original surfaces have a warm original gold that accents the sharply struck devices. The eye appeal is truly AMAZING and the technical quality borders on SUPERB! PCGS 10, NGC 5, CAC 3. There are just three in MS66+ and a single MS67 finer. The only other MS66+ to sell was the Pogue coin which brought $22,325 and was not CAC. We presume the MS67 is the former NGC coin that sold over a decade ago for $39,100 and has not appeared in auction since. The PCGS Price Guide value is $27,500 and in MS66 the CAC CPG value is listed at $29,000.

LOT 362 $5 1813 PCGS MS63 CAC The first year of John Reich’s Capped Head half eagle is the most common of this difficult design type. Two die marriages were used to strike the 95,428, this one coming from the scarcer of the two, BD-2 which is considered R-4. Purely original, this pleasing CHOICE Uncirculated has a warm, amber-orange gold color that comes to life with a lovely satiny mint luster. The devices are sharply struck from the terminal die state, will all the details crisp and bold. A few ancient marks are noted with the aid of a strong glass, but these do not detract from the otherwise outstanding eye appeal, and are appropriate for the assigned grade. PCGS 56, NGC 33, CAC 13. The most recent PCGS/CAC MS63 sold in March 2018 for $28,800. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $27,500 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $29,000.

LOT 363 $5 1894 PCGS MS65+ CAC Despite a mintage of 957,880, this date is a major condition rarity above MS64, and is totally underrated in such a lofty state of preservation! Totally original, satiny mint frost glows all over with a rich honey golden hue. Sharply struck devices stand out, with fully detailed design elements that have a needle sharp definition. The surfaces have a fresh “vault dust” toning, that yields some minor traces of contact when viewed in a light. PCGS 4, NGC 12, CAC 3. There are two in MS65+ and just three finer. This coin has never sold in auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $6,500 and no 1894 in 65 or 66 have sold in at least three years!

Collectors Universe Price Guide is $6,000. No recent trades, just a straight CAC MS64 PCGS piece which sold for $5,405 in August 2016. A SLEEPER date which has gone unrecognized by many, but here is the wake up call. With no MS65 or 65+ graded pieces available in either PCGS or NGC holders, this is your ONLY opportunity to grab a cherry piece for a fraction of the price of an MS66 example! MS66’s trade for over $15,000. Not many opportunities to obtain a Gem Mint State example, so strike while the iron is hot. PCGS# 8395 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+ 174

LOT 365 $5 1908 PCGS PR64 CAC This is what a Sand Blast 1908 Proof half eagle should look like. Compare the deep green-gold color to the pale yellow gold typically seen and you know this coin is totally original! The sand blast surfaces glint brilliantly as the multitude of microscopic facets catch the light. The incuse design elements are expertly and exactly rendered by an exquisite blow from the dies. The surfaces are nicely preserved, its relatively modest grade can only be explained by a tiny mark on the wire rim on the obverse at 9:00, otherwise the surfaces show only a few hair’s breadth line or two seen on the sand blast fields. Regardless, the initial visual impact is that of a GEM grade. Only 167 Proofs were struck. PCGS 33, NGC 19, CAC 4. Only a single PCGS/CAC example has ever sold in auction, bringing $37,600 in the March 2017 sale of the Blue Moon Collection. Prior to that, an NGC/CAC example brought just shy of $40,000. Clearly CAC coins are worth a very strong premium over the non-CAC examples. Worthy of a Proof Gold Type set and worthy of fierce bidding. PCGS# 8539 | ESTIMATE: $25,000+ 175

LOT 366 $10 1854-O SMALL DATE. PCGS AU50 CAC Totally original and very handsome surfaces show off a delightful honey-olive gold color and well defined devices. Minor wear is noted, but the surfaces are devoid of any serious marks from circulation. The eye appeal is very high-end and the overall quality is well above average for the date. From an original mintage of just 52,000, the 54-O $10 is very scarce in AU grades. Of the Large and Small date logotypes used, the Small Date is the scarcer of the two. PCGS 24, NGC 7, CAC 2. The Fairmont Collection coin sold in the 2018 ANA auction for $4,800. Clearly RARE any finer, there are none known to PCGS being graded higher than AU58. An under appreciated New Orleans $10 worthy of a strong bid.

The belle of the ball as it were, with the prettiest of pastel toning in soft peach hues gracing deeply frosty surfaces. The coin faces up beautifully in hand and although there are some breaks in luster and tick marks in the fields, one needs powerful magnification to spot them. This is a date that is often ìcherry picked” by astute collectors, as many mistake this date as a “common” or “generic” issue. PCGS 29, NGC 12, CAC 13. A mere six 64+ graded. Combined population at PCGS and NGC for higher grades is a scant 3 coins with the finest being a PCGS 65+. Recent sales have a piece trading for $5,160 in October 2019 and another for $7,763 in November 2019. A prize for the collector of sleeper dates and worthy of a hefty bid.

There are only FIVE in MS63+ and seven finer, all MS64. The CAC CPG value in MS63 is $1,500 and the Collectors Universe in 63+ is $2,000.

We are so glad that this coin was left alone! Just a hint of friction is noted on the highest points, indeed, most of that is from bag contact with other coins, as this coin shows a smattering of small marks, typical of these large gold coins. These marks are evenly distributed and minor, not impacting the naked eye appeal, and only with aid of a strong glass can you make them out. Nearly a full, glowing mint luster surround the fields, coming out in a light when the coin is rotated. This is the optimal grade for this date, as Mint State coins are truly RARE! PCGS 44, NGC 83, CAC 115. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $5,310 and the current Collectors Universe value is $6,250. We sold the most recent PCGS/CAC coin in our September 2018 Regency Auction for $6,169. PCGS has graded 24 coins in all Mint State grades, mostly in MS60-62. This AU58 is high end and will delight the collector not wishing to spend $10,000+ on a MS61 that does not posses the eye appeal and originality of this CHOICE example. PCGS# 8914 | ESTIMATE: $4,200+ LOT 374 $20 1863-S PCGS MS61 CAC Thanks to the shipwrecked Brother Jonathan and Republic, this date is available in circulated grades, the 63-S double eagle remains quite scarce in any Mint State grade, and is downright RARE in MS62 or finer. Indeed, PCGS estimates about 60 coins survive in Mint State grades. A frosty luster remains on both sides of this well struck MS61 example. Totally original, this coin was freshly graded at PCGS before being consigned to us. The golden surfaces are warmly toned with a lovely olive and peach patina that truly is a delight to behold. Sure the surfaces show some minor traces of contact, that is common for such a heavy gold coin and the eye appeal is that of an even higher grade, and we would not be surprised if this coin grades MS62 one day (no guarantees). PCGS 43, NGC 29, CAC 11. The last two pieces to sell in auction were from the Fairmont Collection and they were very choppy and heavily abraded, selling in 2018 for $10,800 and $10,200. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $11,500 and the current CAC CPG value is listed at $10,600. RARE any finer this is a great coin for any advanced Civil War gold collector or double eagle collector. Good luck! PCGS# 8940 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ 178

LOT 375 $20 1888-S PCGS MS64+ CAC What a NEAT coin! Tied for FINEST graded example for the date at PCGS, this is a remarkable, very high end, near-GEM quality example! The surfaces have only small and scattered ticks-no big scrapes or whacks. They are also pretty much hidden to the naked eye. There is no question this coin has a great original “skin” with a full “Mint bloom” luster. The reverse even shows traces of semi-prooflike mirrors. both sides are a GEM original pale gold with highlights of faint greenish gold by the rims. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are well struck. PCGS 63, NGC 36, CAC 9. PCGS has graded 4 in MS64+ with NONE higher. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $17,500 and the last PCGS† MS64+ CAC to sell in auction brought $15,600 in the 2019 ANA auction (NOT this coin-which is slightly nicer). With NO MS65’s or higher graded, this coin clearly ranks as one of the finest examples you can obtain for the date. Yet another opportunity that knows loud! PCGS# 9009 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+ LOT 376 $20 1904 PCGS MS64+ CAC A beautiful, totally original, borderline GEM example. Rich golden-orange color is brought out by a brilliant frosty luster. This coin has a great look and you know how tough CAC is on gold coins, so you know you are getting a high end piece. The most recent PCGS/CAC example brought $1,860 in November 2019 and in MS64 the CAC CPG value is listed at $2,260--a 64+ should be worth that or more. Good luck!

LOT 377 $20 1911-D/D RPM, FS-501. PCGS MS66+ CAC WOW! This is quite the impressive PQ 1911-D/D repunched mintmark double eagle. One of the few distinct die varieties in the Saint Gaudens series, collectors have long searched unattributed 1911-Ds for one. Bordering on the SUPERB GEM grade, the present coin has a great look for the date. Well struck devices stand out against frosty lustrous fields that have an almost sandblast-like texture. Rich orange-gold with lighter brilliant gold highlights. The first D was placed too far to the right, and then repunched properly. The D/D is quite bold and can be seen without the aid of a glass. As expected for the lofty, borderline SUPERB GEM grade, any traces of contact are extremely minor and almost not worth mentioning. PCGS 55, NGC 40, CAC 22. PCGS has graded just 5 in MS66+ with just a single MS67 finer (which is impounded in the Simpson Collection). The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $30,000 and we have sold two others in 2019 for $22,913 and $25,850. A real prize for any advanced die variety collector or specialist in the St. Gaudens series. PCGS# 9158 | ESTIMATE: $18,000+ 180

LOT 378 $20 1914 PCGS MS65+ CAC WOW! At first glance, this coin looks like any common date in SUPER HIGH grade! It actually borders on full MS66. Scarce in all grades and RARE in GEM, only 95,250 were struck for the entire issue. This coin is easily in the Condition Census for this rarity. The surfaces appear clean and satiny like. Only when using a strong glass can you find some scattered and microscopic ticks. A strong luster beams from all over. Both sides are an original deeper yellow gold color. There are no spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are exceptionally well struck. The eye appeal is fabulous! PCGS 40, NGC 35, CAC 5. There are just 2 graded MS65+ and just five are graded higher. Neither MS65+ has ever sold in auction, and no CAC-approved MS65 has sold in a DECADE! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $35,000. Keep in mind no CAC MS66 ever sold in auction (a 66+ CAC sold eight years ago). This is a very rare opportunity for anyone working on a high end GEM set of Saints! Bidding will be fierce! PCGS# 9164 | ESTIMATE: $34,000+ 181

LOT 379 $20 1924-D PCGS MS64+ CAC One of the RARE late date Saints, and we unhesitatingly grade this coin an MS64.95+! Really!† It IS that close to full MS65. Superior surfaces resemble what you would see on a common date. The surfaces are remarkably clean and have thick satiny texture. When using a strong glass all we could find was a TINY tick and a few light and tiny frost breaks. For sure we have seen lesser quality coins in higher holders. This coin might fare even better off raw (we make no promises it will ever MS65)! A full cartwheel like luster vividly beams from all over. Both sides have an original deeper yellow gold color. There are NO marks or spots. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck (yes, including the nose) and have generous frost. The eye appeal is heart pounding! While over 3 million examples were struck, the vast majority were stored in treasury vaults and melted the following decade. Those that survive mostly came from overseas sources, coins paid out to Europe or South America and repatriated over the years since importation of gold was made legal. The present near-GEM ranks among the top 25 examples graded at PCGS! PCGS 198, NGC 91, CAC 14. There are 13 in MS64+ and just 12 graded higher. Only a single PCGS/CAC MS64+ has ever sold in auction, realizing $31,200 in July 2019. Keep in mind that only a single MS65 CAC ever sold in auction realizing $138,000 in the 2010 FUN auction. This borderline GEM has a lot to offer even the pickiest of Saint collectors! Good luck! PCGS# 9178 | ESTIMATE: $28,000+ 182

LOT 380 $20 1925-S PCGS MS64+ CAC The 25-S is shockingly RARE in any grade approaching GEM, more so than some of the other major rarities in the latter years of this popular series. Indeed, between PCGS and NGC, just 55 examples have graded MS64 or finer, after 33 years of operations! Any that survived the Gold Recall and subsequent melting was a miracle. This PQ coin is a borderline MS65! We could not believe our eyes when we saw this magnificent GEM. For a 1925-S, it really is SUPER HIGH END! Remarkable surfaces have just a few trivial scattered tiny ticks. If this were a common date it could have been graded an MS65 (NO promises). A full booming and glowing type luster beams boldly from all over. The color is a brilliant yellow gold. There are no spots or discolorations anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck. The eye appeal is fantastic! PCGS 27, NGC 19, CAC 3. There are just three graded MS64+ and a mere handful finer at PCGS in all grades. There is no record of any MS64+ ever selling via auction. It is critical to note the last GEM PCGS MS65 CAC to sell in auction brought $218,500 in the 2010 FUN auction. No PCGS/CAC MS64 has sold since 2012! Clearly this is a VERY IMPORTANT opportunity of anyone working on a very high end set of Saints! Do not let this coin slip you by! PCGS# 9182 | ESTIMATE: $67,500+ 183
