LEGEND AUCTIONS REGENCY AUCTION 51

Welcome to Regency Auction 51! We are proud and honored to offer, what will be one of our most memorable auctions to date! Many consignors, not least of which include our friend, the late Dale Friend, and the Glorious Patterns collector, a longtime client of both Legend Auctions and Legend Numismatics. Both collections have been split into two parts, the first from each being offered here. Starting off this evening’s offerings is The Dale Friend Collection, featuring an amazing cabinet of early dollars and assorted coins from other series. Following the Friend Collection are type coins through dollars from numerous consignors. Included in the sale is one of our most extensive offerings of toned dollars, since the Roadrunner Collection. All are from several collectors, not a single source. However, in the end they came together as if a single collector had assembled the entire group. Other consignments of high-grade Morgan dollars including semi-Key date issues in GEM, will delight any advanced Registry Set collector. Following our selection of dollars comes the Unique pattern J-349, the 1863 $10 struck in gold from the Bob Simpson Collection, and then Part 1 of the Glorious Patterns Collection. This cabinet of rarities was assembled by a dedicated collector over the course of the last two decades. Buying only the best he could afford and focusing on different types, this collection has many different, and popular issues. All of which are very rare issues and are greatly undervalued in the marketplace. Following the patterns, the sale concludes with a wide assortment of gold, from the first U.S. mint at Philadelphia to the classic issues of the 20th century. Needless to say, Gems abound, and the quality is top notch! Following our Regency Auction, on Sunday, May 1, our first ever Regency Online Session will close. These are coins that, while highly collectible, were not generally appropriate for placement in a live Regency Auction. Rather than reject them, as we may have done in the past, we have created an online only session that corresponds with our boutique Regency Auction program and will allow us to serve our consignors and bidders better. At Legend Rare Coin Auctions, we are always accepting quality consignments. Whether you have just a single rarity, a few duplicates from a recently upgraded set, or a world class cabinet, our dedicated team of professionals will create a plan that fits your specific consignment. We are always accepting consignments, and right now our July, September, November, and December Regency Auctions are open for consignments. Contact Jessica Berkman, Greg Cohen, or any of our numismatic auction professionals to discuss your holdings. We are accepting consignments here at the Central States show at our table, or at all upcoming shows. You can also contact us by phone or email to discuss your holdings. Don’t forget if your consignment value warrants it, we will travel to you! From everyone on the Legend Rare Coin Auction team, we wish you the best of luck in bidding in Regency Auction 51. There are many world class coins that await placement in your collection! Warm Regards, Julie Abrams Consultant

LISTED BID INCREMENTS Bid increments are to serve as a general guideline.

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!

Laura Sperber PRINCIPALS Partner 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 Bruce Morelan rarities. While attending Monmouth University, Laura attended coin shows more than classes. Partner 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. Julie Abrams Consultant 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. 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! Julie Abrams started in numismatics in 1986 when she joined up with Bernard Rome and launched Teletrade, the first computerized auction company. As President of Teletrade, Julie helped expand the company, increasing the frequency of auctions and expanding annual sales to $24 million within a few years. In 1999, GMAI, a publicly traded company, purchased Teletrade and Ms. Abrams became Executive Vice President of Sales for the parent company, as well as continuing her role as CEO for Teletrade. In 2004 she joined Stacks-Bowers, she worked to develop an online bidding platform for the firm. She also marketed Stacks’ programs to secure consignments from dealers and institutions such as banks, museums and universities. Julie is a member of the American Numismatic Association, the Central States Numismatic Association and Florida United Numismatists.

Dale was a longtime client of Legend Numismatics and Legend Rare Coin Auctions. Over the years his relationship bloomed into a friendship, his presence at our table or in the auctions always invited good conversation about a wide range of topics, not always numismatics. Highlights of the Dale Friend Collection, Part 1 include: Legend Rare Coin Auctions is honored to offer the Dale Lot 2. 1C 1925-S PCGS MS65 RD CAC Friend Collection. We were greatly saddened to learn of Lot 4. 5C 1885 PCGS MS66 CAC his passing last year at the age of 80. Dale was an astute Lot 14. 50C 1892-O Micro O. PCGS MS67 CAC collector.

Dale did not It is bittersweet for us at Legend Rare Coin Auctions. We need to have the absolute finest known example (though are honored to sell Dale’s treasured coins, but it is sad that in some cases he did or came close), but the coins had to we will no longer see him roaming the bourse floor. It is be of a certain look that he enjoyed. our hope, and the hope of Dale’s family, that the winning bidders cherish these treasures the way that Dale did. If ever there was a legacy for a numismatist, let it be that… 10

A TRIBUTE TO DALE FRIEND “There are passionate collectors then there was Dale. He was always obsessed with his coins. People did not know Legend did a lot of business with him. He was always a pleasure to deal with. We will miss him. “ Laura Sperber, founder of Legend Numismatics and Legend Rare Coin Auctions “I had the pleasure of working with Dale for many years as he built his incredible collection. He was relentlessly enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, had a keen eye and never compromised on quality. He was also a lot of fun to speak with, regardless of the topic. And a genuinely sweet human being, always kind and thoughtful. I will miss him and our fun conversations, as will all who were lucky enough to know him. “ Julie Abrams, Consultant for Legend Rare Coin Auctions Dale was an enthusiastic collector and great fun to work with. He studied each series carefully and acted decisively when a scarce variety appeared. His collection contains many difficult to find coins. Dale, and his wife Stacey, were fun to meet with at many coin shows.” Don Wills, former president of PCGS “I had the pleasure of working with Dale for 25 years. His collecting interests were diverse, from Liberty Nickels to Proof Gold, but the constant was always fabulous quality and eye appeal.” Katy Duncan, owner, Pinnacle Rarities “Dale Friend was a true student of numismatics and a passionate collector. He built a series of top tier collections including some of the finest sets of early bust and Barber half dollars. Dale was always willing to share his considerable expertise with other collectors. We always enjoyed his wry sense of humor and his tales about his coins. He is greatly missed by his fellow bust half dollar collectors. “ Dr. Charles Link, collector of early American coins. “Dale was a collector’s collector. He was a fast learner and was unbelievably generous with his knowledge. I’m proud to have called him a friend.” Doug Winter, owner Doug Winter Numismatics “Dale was a friend and mentor. He had an amazing eye and his coins consistently had “the Friend look”. He was always generous with his time and willing to share his knowledge. Very few collectors loved their coins as much as dale did. We will miss him and remember him. I will be participating in the auction not only to secure some amazing coins, but so I have another memory of Dale!” Howard Sharfman, longtime collector, The Chicago Collection of Early Half Dollars “Dale was a collector’s collector. His strategy was to focus on a few series of interest, learn all he could about those series, and buy the very best coins he could find in those series to build his collections. Now to Dale, as is the case with many long-time students of numismatics, “buying the best” didn’t always mean buying the highest grade or the most expensive of that particular issue. He was focused on beauty. He told me his goal was for every coin in his set to have a “Wow Factor”. He reasoned that if he was blown away by the beauty of a coin, the next owner would be too, and they would be willing to pay a large premium to obtain it. He loved gorgeous original toning and luster. While he had the heart of a collector, he also paid close attention to investment potential. He mentioned that, with the possible exception of real estate, his coin collection gave him the highest financial return of any of his investments. Combining pleasure and profit -- what could be better?” David Wnuck, owner, David Wnuck Numismatics. 11

LOT 1 1/2P 1796 MIDDLESEX- SPENCE’S D&H-837. NGC MS65 BN This is a very interesting “Conder Token” issue from Middlesex, England, that has a strong connection to American numismatics. Great Britain faced a coin shortage, especially copper coinage, in the 1790s, and private merchants produced halfpenny sized tokens, which were used in circulation, and carried a wide range of themes. One of the most popular themes were satires of Thomas Paine and the French Revolution’s “Declaration of the Rights of Man.” The somewhat macabre portrayal of three men hanging from the gallows, with the legend: NOTED ADVOCATES FOR THE RIGHTS OF MEN on the obverse and the reverse inscription: A WAY TO PREVENT KNAVES GETTING A TRICK, symbolize the angry feelings the British had toward the Revolution across the Channel and the advocate for both American and French liberty Thomas Paine. The Dale Friend specimen is a real GEM caliber example. Highly reflective copper surfaces beam boldly with a strong Prooflike flash. Rich blue, violet, and orange-gold are brought out when rotating in the light. The devices are sharply struck. This historic token has a great look, great story, and is highly desired by collectors of early American coppers, as well as world coin collectors. PCGS 0, NGC 1. This highly desirable token fits into many different areas of numismatics and will see considerable bidding. Because of its high grade and beautiful visual allure, it will not just appeal to specialists. We expect our estimate will prove quite conservative when the hammer falls on this GEM! PCGS# 576081 | EST: $1,500+ NOTES 12

LOT 2 1C 1925-S PCGS MS65 RD CAC An exceptional, CONDITION CENSUS example of this conditionally very challenging S-mint Wheat cent! Tied for FINEST KNOWN in the RED category, and this old green-tag GEM is boasts a highly desired CAC bean. Remarkably well preserved, the surfaces are even and have a brilliant mint red coloration. Over the years, the fields have mellowed and taken on a hint of richer brick red accents that contrast with the original orange-red, adding much to the aesthetic appeal. This marvelous coin is also well struck with boldly defined details, not mushy such as the typical 25-S cent. Extremely rare in this grade with this eye appeal, and CAC approval, this impressive GEM has everything going for it! PCGS 14, NGC 3, CAC 4. This is the former Dr. Duckor coin that sold in April 2020 for $24,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $22,000 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $28,800. With NONE FINER, this coin is a MUST OWN for the top Lincoln cent Registry Sets. Do not let this opportunity pass you by. PCGS# 2566 | EST: $22,000+ 13

LOT 3 3CS 1858 PCGS PR64 CAC A very pretty, totally original example of this low mintage, early Proof trime. We really love the series and this borderline GEM is very high end for the assigned grade. Richly toned over highly reflective mirrored fields. The mirrors offer a bold depth of clarity under the mottled multicolored, lovely original patina. Sharply struck up with bold, crisp details, the eye appeal is that of a higher grade! We love the look of this coin, perfect for type or date purpose. Only 100 Proofs were struck. PCGS 40, NGC 39, CAC 8. The most recent example to sell was a GOLD stickered PR64 that brought $7,931 in our February 2021 Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,000 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $4,890. This impressive type coin is worthy of a strong bid and will see fierce competition when it crosses the block. Bound for a neat type set or specialized cabinet of 3 cent silver Proofs. PCGS# 3705 | EST: $3,600+ LOT 4 5C 1885 PCGS MS66 CAC The 1885 Liberty nickel is the KEY circulation strike date in the series, and is quite scarce in such a lofty state of preservation. This Premium Quality GEM has a sensational look! Bold cartwheel luster swirls boldly over semi-reflective fields and frosty, sharply struck devices. Faintly dusted with iridescent hues attesting to the originality and adding to the visual allure. Free of any serious contact marks. The eye appeal is incredible! PCGS 35, NGC 13, CAC 10. This coin brought $18,800 in the 2014 FUN auction. Since that time, a small group of PQ GEMS were graded, and the Population has jumped considerably. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $12,000 and this beauty is worthy of a strong bid today. Bound for a fantastic collection. PCGS# 3846 | EST: $8,500+ LOT 5 5C 1891 PCGS MS66+ CAC Tied for second FINEST GRADED at PCGS, this is a borderline SUPERB GEM example of the date. Thick, frosty luster glows with a bold satiny sheen. Sharply struck up devices stand out boldly and the nickel-silver surfaces are smooth, sleek, and have a soft blush of the clearest golden hue, adding to the sensational visual allure. PCGS 39, NGC 12, CAC 9. There are 8 in MS66+ and just four finer in MS67. The most recent MS66+ CAC sold for $2,640 in the 2021 ANA auction and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,750. No PCGS MS67 CAC has sold in a decade, so this may well be the finest to appear on the market in the near term, bid accordingly! PCGS# 3852 | EST: $2,200+ 14

LOT 6 LOT 7 5C 1895 PCGS MS66 CAC 5C 1885 PCGS PR67 CAM CAC Wonderful satin luster blooms on both sides of this softly A very high end SUPERB GEM, the type of coin that toned PQ GEM. Sharply struck devices show off crisply personifies the type of coin Dale really liked. Bold and defined details. The eye appeal is sensational! flashy mirrors beam brilliantly from all over. The devices are frosted and offer a bold contrast against the surrounding PCGS 35, NGC 11, CAC 15. The most recent example to fields. Adding to the outstanding visual allure is a splash of sell in auction brought $1,680 in the 2021 ANA auction, rainbow toning at the obverse rim that really pops at certain and the month prior we sold one for $2,350. The current angles, otherwise the surfaces have just a blush of a pale Collectors Universe value is listed at $2,750. VERY RARE iridescence.

The most recent example $529 almost a decade ago, and in today’s environment, this to sell in auction brought $2,468 in our December 2021 colorful beauty will bring a very strong bid indeed! Good Regency Auction 49 and the current PCGS Price Guide luck. value is listed at $2,700. Only four are graded PR68 finer, and CAC examples have been selling for over $10,000.

LOT 10 5C 1938-D BUFFALO. PCGS MS65 A pleasing original GEM in an old green tag holder. The quality and eye appeal are all there, we are not sure why CAC did not bean this coin. Between PCGS and NGC, over 34,000 have been graded MS65. The Collectors Universe value is $70 and as a part of Dale’s collection, we expect it will bring more. PCGS# 3984 | EST: $70+ LOT 11 25C 1898-O PCGS MS65 Ex Friend-Hayes, as noted on the insert. This is a truly gorgeous GEM example of this conditionally VERY RARE New Orleans Barber quarter. While the original mintage was 1,868,000, these clearly disappeared into the cash registers, tellers’ windows, and all manner of commercial channels in the deep south and mid west when they were released. This date is scarce even in mid-circulated grades and is downright RARE in any Mint State grade, GEMS extremely so. This gorgeous GEM ranks among the 15 highest graded at PCGS, and that no doubt includes duplications of submissions in the MS65 and MS66 range. This is an early strike from freshly employed dies. The fields have a seductive, semi-Prooflike flash and the devices are sharply struck up. Both sides show a bold album toning pattern, deeper at the rims in shades of blue and dark red, before yielding to apricot-gold. There is a light “slide” mark on the cheek, which may be all that keeps this coin from a loftier grade and/or CAC approval. The eye appeal is SUPERB. PCGS 7, NGC 3. This coin is very similar in look to the Chalkley-Silbermunzen Collection coin that sold for $32,200 back in May 2008 and the Classic Collection coin sold in September 2009 for $7,475. Today, the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,500 and we think this colorful GEM will realized more. Fresh to the market and boasting a wonderful pedigree, this GEM belongs in a great set of Barber quarters. Only 8 are graded finer. PCGS# 5620 | EST: $6,000+ LOT 12 25C 1905-O PCGS MS66+ CAC Ex D. Brent Pogue Collection, as noted on the insert. What a SUPERB example! The Pogue Barber quarters really stood out as exemplars for the type, and this one is virtually PRISTINE and ranks among the FINEST KNOWN, with just a single MS67 graded higher at PCGS. Beautiful! Both sides have a vivacious luster that ranges from satiny to bold swirling cartwheels, enhancing the natural, totally original reddish-gold, cobalt, apricot-rose, lilac, and soft champagne- peach hues that yield to brilliant pearly silver centers. Every detail is crisply rendered, fully brought up by a precision blow from the dies. A somewhat lower mintage of 1,230,000 was whittled down further by circulation. Even in higher circulated grades the 05-O quarter is quite scarce; in this lofty state of preservation it is EXTREMELY RARE, even more so with such a stunning look! PCGS 13, NGC 2, CAC 6. PCGS has graded 2 in this grade with just a single coin graded higher. The other coin is the Clapp-Eliasberg-Gardner-Premier Barber coin that we sold in May 2018 for $11,750. This coin is more evenly and delicately toned, and realized just shy of a five figure price in March 2020, where it realized $9,600. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $11,000. There is just a single MS67 graded by PCGS that last sold in October 2014 (that was ages ago!). This coin is worthy of the FINEST Barber quarter set and will see very strong bidding! Good luck! PCGS# 5640 | EST: $10,000+ 16

LOT 13 25C 1909-O PCGS MS66+ CAC Ex D. Brent Pogue Collection, as noted on the insert. One of the FINEST KNOWN examples of the final mintage of quarters at the New Orleans mint, happens to also have one of the great pedigrees of all time--Louis Eliasberg-D. Brent Pogue! WOW! The mintage of only 712,000 disappeared into circulation and the 09-O is the scarcest date from this mint in most grades. This SUPERB GEM is essentially tied for second highest graded at PCGS with just a single MS67 finer. Both sides offer a symphony of dappled original toning in shades of pearlescent-silver, olive, pale blue, coppery-orange, and old time gold. The sharply struck devices and pristine fields are amplified by the underlying lustrous brilliance. The eye appeal is exceptional in every way. Ex Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, Bowers & Merena/ Stack’s, April 1997, lot 1600; John C. Hugon Collection, Heritage, January 2005, lot 4154; D. Brent Pogue Collection, Stack’s Bowers, March 2020, lot 7125; Dale Friend Collection. While not noted in the Eliasberg catalog, it is likely that this coin was acquired by J.M. Clapp directly from the New Orleans mint in 1909; then from the Clapp Estate to Eliasberg, en bloc via Stack’s in 1942. PCGS 5, NGC 1, CAC 5. There are 3 graded MS66+ and just 1 finer. This is the only MS66+ to ever sell in auction, realizing $24,000 in March 2020. The PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $28,500. The MS67 has not sold as a PCGS coin and is likely impounded in a major Barber quarter collection not likely to appear anytime soon, but if it were, it would likely bring $40,000+. This is a world class coin with a world class provenance that is will find its way into a SUPERB set. PCGS# 5655 | EST: $22,000+ 17

LOT 14 50C 1892-O MICRO O. PCGS MS67 CAC Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer this sensational SUPERB GEM example of this VERY RARE major variety. It is indeed a landmark offering, usually only available when important cabinets are offered. This variety was created when the wrong sized “O” punch was selected to create the dies, using the punch appropriate for a quarter, not the half dollar. This variety was recognized very early on, as in Augustus Heaton’s treatise on Mint Marks, published in 1893, he noted: “There is one rare variety of this piece with an exceedingly small o, hardly larger than a period.” Today, PCGS CoinFacts estimates that 85 examples survive in all grades, the vast majority of which are circulated. Despite its status as a first year of issue, few of the Mint State survivors overall were of this variety. This is the second FINEST KNOWN of the few Mint State survivors that exist. Exceptionally high end, SUPERB GEM quality surfaces are PRISTINE and boldly lustrous. Soft pearly-silver toning in the centers blends with a light dusting of the clearest gold, that deepens at the rims. Roll the coin around in a light, and the lustrous fields give off a semi-Prooflike flash, which is especially brilliant and flashy on the reverse. The definition is crisp and the devices are sharply and smartly impressed, unusual for a Barber half, especially one from the New Orleans mint. The eye appeal is truly amazing for this issue. This coin has quite the impressive provenance, one that matches its wonderful quality. Ex William Culter Atwater Collection, B. Max Mehl, June 1946, lot 581; James A. Stack Collection; Stack’s sale of the James A. Stack Collection, March 1975, Lot 572; Queller Family Collection; Stack’s sale of the Queller Collection of Half Dollars, October 2002, lot 723; ANR’s William H. LaBelle, Sr. Collection sale, July 2005, lot 1186; Larry Miller Collection; Stack’s Bowers’ December 2020 sale of the Larry Miller Collection, lot 1370; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin brought $132,000 in its most recent appearance. Since then, the market for top tier grade examples has gotten stronger and the current PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $155,000 and the CAC CPG value is $158,400. Only one coin, the former Eliasberg coin, graded MS68 is finer. If you need to upgrade your Registry Set do not let this opportunity pass you by! We expect very strong bidding when this coin crosses the block. Good luck. PCGS# 6463 | EST: $125,000+ 18

LOT 15 50C 1896-O PCGS MS65 CAC A frosty and spectacularly preserved GEM example of this popular early O-mint Barber half dollar. While not a “rare” date, its status as a Condition Rarity cannot be denied, precious few specimens survive in GEM or finer grades at either service. This coin ranks among the 10 HIGHEST graded 96-O halves at PCGS, a great coin for the top tier Registry Set collectors. A thick, satiny vibrant and bold mint frost gleams wonderfully from the fields and devices on both sides. Generally well struck, the devices are nicely defined. A few scattered, extremely minor marks are all that keeps this GEM from an even loftier grade. Untoned and offering a strong velvety silver texture the eye appeal is exceptional. PCGS 5, NGC 5, CAC 4. The last PCGS/CAC coin sold in a very weak market, back in January 2016. More recently a non-CAC MS65 NGC coin brought $22,800 in the December 2020 sale of the Larry H. Miller Collection. This is the second Condition Census example we have hand the honor of selling in recent years, including the Eliasberg- Stellar-Greensboro-Formula 1 PCGS MS67 CAC, the sole finest known of the issue. We are proud to offer this GEM and we know it will occupy a place of prominence in a great set of Barber half dollars. PCGS# 6475 | EST: $22,000+ 19

LOT 16 50C 1904-S PCGS MS65 A wonderful GEM example of this challenging date. Indeed this one is certainly one of the dozen FINEST PCGS GRADED examples. The surfaces are smooth and devoid of all but the most insignificant little ticks that can only be seen with the aid of a powerful loupe. As you rotate the pearly-lustrous surfaces in a light, the iridescent tangerine-rose gold on the obverse and powder blue on the reverse comes to life. Well struck the eye appeal is really nice. Scarcer than you would think based on the mintage, the 1904-S is a major condition rarity in the Barber half dollar series. This date always attracts lots of attention in Mint State grades, especially as you climb the ladder. One theory we have read is that the major 1906 San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fires were responsible for large numbers of banks, homes, and businesses being destroyed, and along with them, perhaps large quantities of these half dollars. PCGS 6, NGC 1. The last one sold in our September 2019 Regency Auction for $29,375 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $37,500. Only five examples are graded higher and on the RARE occasion they appear, at auction, they have brought double what this one will likely bring. Good luck. PCGS# 6500 | EST: $28,000+ 20

LOT 17 50C 1893 PCGS PR67 Among the highest graded examples of this date, and it is not hard to see why. The surfaces are icy clean and sleek, with a bold reflection that beams from below a rich layer of toning. Both sides are awash in teals and oranges with bold gold and lilac-slate accents. There are a few light lines behind Liberty’s head, well hidden by the wonderful, original toning. The eye appeal is quite pleasing and this date is VERY RARE finer. Only 792 Proofs were struck. PCGS 11, NGC 17. How is this for RARE? None have sold since the 2007 ANA auction!!! The current PCGS Price Guide value is $5,750. There are just three graded finer, making this an important opportunity for the collector. PCGS# 6540 | EST: $4,500+ LOT 18 50C 1941-S PCGS MS66+ CAC An old friend, a coin we once offered in our May 2018 sale of the Dale Larsen Collection, where it was described as: “A beautifully toned GEM. The color is more subtle than on other coins in this collection, offering a delicate gold hue which blends with a soft pastel rose, aqua, and pewter/slate patina. The colors do come to have a bold iridescence that is really wonderfully brought out by a vivid, attractive satin sheen. Purchased years ago from David Hall Rare Coins, this marvelous coin is just shy of full SUPERB quality and the eye appeal is exceptionally high end!” PCGS 909, NGC 256, CAC 152. A similarly toned example sold in December 2021 for $5,280 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,500. VERY RARE any finer with just a dozen graded MS67 at PCGS. Bound for a world class set of Walkers! We anticipate strong bidding here! PCGS# 6613 | EST: $4,500+ 21

LOT 19 $1 1795 2 LEAVES. PCGS AU58 CAC Ex Green and Newman Collections, as noted on the insert. This is a VERY HIGH END example of this first silver dollar type, and a CONDITION CENSUS quality B-1, BB-21. Not listed in Dave Bowers’ 2013 listing of “Notable Specimens” which include three in MS65; three in MS63; one in MS61; one in “MS60”; then it drops to two in AU53. This remarkable borderline Uncirculated coin has it all for the type or date collector of early dollars, and with its Green- Newman-Friend pedigree, it will be highly desired by the serious specialist. Fully struck on the obverse and with just a hint of weakness on the eagle’s breast, this high end AU58 has the look of a Mint State coin, and was graded as such on Newman’s envelope. Any wear is limited to barely perceptible friction in the fields and the highest points of the design, hardly impacting the essentially full mint luster. The brilliance really comes out boldly when rotating the coin under a light. Years of storage in Eric Newman’s collection imparted a lovely antique, old time patina that offers hints of very attractive orange and blue mixed in to the deep, russet-gold tone. Any mark is invisible to the naked eye and seen only with the aid of a strong glass, having virtually no impact on the outstanding eye appeal. The impressive pedigree matches the impressive technical and aesthetic appeal of this “GEM AU” Flowing Hair dollar. Ex Col. E.H.R. Green Collection. Col. Green was the son of 19th century financier Hetty Green, the famed “Witch of Wall Street.” In the early 20th century, Col. Green amassed one of the greatest cabinets of rare coins of all time. Much of the collection was sold by the Green Estate to the St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co. (Burdette Johnson and Eric Newman) in the early 1940s. Eric Newman bought many of the coins out of the partnership and retained them, and put them on loan via the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society to George Washington University in St. Louis. Starting in 2013, the Newman Collection was sold in a series of sales, raising money for the foundation. This coin appeared in Part IX of the Newman Collection, Heritage, November 2017, lot 15094 (as NGC AU58 CAC). At some point the coin was acquired by Dale Friend and was crossed over to PCGS. PCGS 20, NGC 47 (all kinds), CAC 4. It is likely that this beautiful coin accounts for two of the CAC submissions. The most recent PCGS/CAC example to sell was in an early March 2021 Internet sale that realized $$84,001. Prior to that we sold the South Texas (ex Hesselgesser) coin for $76,375. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $75,000 and it is likely that any Mint State example with CAC approval would bring into the five figures. This coin has the high end look and worthy of a fantastic set. Good luck! PCGS# 6853 | EST: $70,000+ 22

LOT 20 $1 1795 B-5 BB-27 3 LEAVES. PCGS AU58 Ex Garrett and Hesselgesser Collections, as noted on the insert. This is a glorious and well pedigreed near Mint State example of this die variety. The B-5, BB-27 is the most “common” Flowing Hair dollar die variety, however at this lofty state of preservation it is very scarce and is truly RARE in any Mint State grade. The B-5 is easily identifiable by the small “bar” in the field behind Liberty’s head. Struck from a rusted state of the dies, there are tiny raised rust bumps seen scattered about the surfaces. Delicate pewter-silver patina is enlivened by splashes of golden and icy-blue hues. The devices are crisply rendered by an exacting blow from the screw press. The surfaces have a glossy-brilliant luster that really makes the surfaces pop. The eye appeal is exceptional, devoid of adjustment marks and a glass reveals nothing more than a few tiny stray marks. The wear is limited to the faintest trace of friction on the highest points of the central devices. This coin has a bold visual allure for sure! Ex T. Harrison Garrett; John Work Garrett; Johns Hopkins University; Bowers & Ruddy’s sale of the Garrett Collection, Part II, March 1980, lot 679; unknown intermediaries; Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection, Goldberg’s, September 2011, lot 5018; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 44, NGC 47. Don’t let the recent auction records skew your idea as to the value of this high end AU58 with important pedigree; back in 2011, this coin brought $86,250. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $45,000, but this coin has a better look than the MS62 we sold as part of the Eric Templeton Collection in September 2021 for $76,375. Truly RARE in Mint State, we expect this wonderful AU58 to bring a strong bid! Good luck. PCGS# 39977 | EST: $45,000+ 23

LOT 21 $1 1795 SILVER PLUG. PCGS AU55 A superior grade 1795 Flowing Hair dollar with a mint inserted silver plug, this coin is from the B-7, BB-18 die pairing which is considered Rarity-3 overall, and perhaps Rarity-5 with the silver plug. A good proportion of the known plugged 1795 dollars were struck using this die pairing. The coinage act of April 1792 that established the U.S. mint, also created the standards for the content of each authorized denomination. By late 1792, several patterns and 1,500 half dismes had been produced, but mint officials had to post surety bonds in order to strike gold and silver coins, so the only coins struck in 1793 were half cents and cents. In 1794 silver coins began to be struck, most of which were half dollars and a small number of silver dollars. The standards required that precious metal coins be within a very narrow weight tolerance, overweight planchets were filed down to proper weight; underweight planchets were sometimes treated with a silver plug, where a small hole was drilled into the blank planchet and a plug of silver was inserted, then flattened when the coin was struck. Prior to this coin being struck, the adjusted weight was too heavy and the planchet was lightened slightly as there are some minor adjustment marks. This well struck and CHOICE AU example has a rich, thick, gray patina on both sides that has bold accents of slate and deep blue, and gold toning. The strike is bold and has crisp definition throughout, including on Liberty’s flowing hair and the eagle’s head. The only touch of softness, some of which is rub from its brief stay in circulation can be seen in the extreme central high points. A minor rim bump at 11:30 on the reverse rim is the only noticeable flaw to the naked eye. A strong glass will uncover some very minor ticks and marks, perfectly acceptable for the assigned grade and the amount of circulation this coin had seen. Since most early dollars come in low grade or with serious flaws, this coin is a wonderful selection for a picky collector looking to enhance their type or date set. The Condition Census (2013) of this variety is 66,65,64,64,64,63 and Dave Bowers’ list of “Notable Specimens” goes down to AU58, making this AU55 a very high grade for the B-7 die pair. This coin does not appear to be any of the examples sold previously at auction, so Dale must have bought this coin privately. PCGS 4, NGC 1. The only PCGS AU55 to sell in auction was CAC-approved, and had an extensive pedigree that dated back to June 1885, most recently selling in our May 2019 Regency Auction for $129,250. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $160,000. PCGS has graded just three examples finer, and they VERY RARELY ever appear in auction. Do not let this important early federal issue pass you by! An important coin for the collector. PCGS# 6854 | EST: $110,000+ 24

LOT 22 $1 1795 OFF CENTER BUST. PCGS AU58 There were two distinct obverse dies used to strike the first year of Draped Bust dollars, one with Liberty’s bust askew, positioned slightly to the left of center, while the other had the bust properly centered on the die. Both are of similar rarity. The Off-Center bust is listed as B-14, BB-51 and is among the more available die marriage for the date in an absolute sense, but in this high grade they are scarce and are RARE in any Mint State grade. This borderline Mint State example is a very pleasing coin for the type or date collector. The surfaces have a nearly full luster with a bold, interesting chrome-like flash. Exceptionally sharp in strike, the devices are fully rendered and have just the lightest trace of friction that keeps it from a full Mint State designation. Antique silver and dove patina mixed with pale gold and soft lilac hues. A few old lines (including a few minor adjustment marks) and a thin scratch in the obverse field are noted for the sake of full disclosure, but they have little impact on the lovely eye appeal. PCGS 13, NGC 15. We cannot find this wonderful example in our search of of the auction databases. The most recent example sold in September 2020 for $34,800 but the eye appeal of that coin was no where close to as reflective or brilliant as this one, and should bring closer to the $42,500 listed in the PCGS Price Guide. Not that any Mint State coin in a PCGS holder will cost close to six figures if not into the six figures. We expect this coin will bring a very strong bid when it crosses the block. Bid accordingly. PCGS# 96858 | EST: $35,000+ 25

LOT 23 $1 1795 CENTERED BUST. PCGS AU53 A very colorful and very pleasing antique album toned AU B-15, BB-52, the Centered Bust variety. While a more common early dollar variety, listed as Rarity-2, this is a fantastic type coin! Sharply struck from Die State IV, with the retained cud in Liberty’s hair. Light wear is seen on the highest points and the friction has left some minor lines in the fields. A few ancient contact marks were acquired during its brief stay in commercial channels. Most of the lines and ticks are well hidden by the gorgeous antique album toning. Sensational peripheral blue, green, and ancient gold melds with the antique pewter-silver patina. The eye appeal is exceptional, for an issue that is usually seen cleaned or in some other way impaired. Ex Superior, January 2003, lot 841; Richard J. Chouinard Collection, Heritage, January 2005, lot 30268; Stack’s Bowers, February 2014, lot 2078. PCGS 8, NGC 15. You should be able to toss out the price guide values and disregard most APRs for this coin. Back in 2014, it realized $28,200. We expect this coin will sell for a very strong bid when it crosses the block. Not just for early dollar specialists, this coin will delight type collectors as well. PCGS# 6858 | EST: $20,000+ 26

LOT 24 $1 1796 SMALL DATE, SMALL LETTERS. PCGS AU55 A lovely, Condition Census B-2, BB-63! This Rarity-4 die pairing is a very popular example of this major Red Book variety. The Small Date, Small Letters variety is represented by two die pairings, the other, B-3, BB-62 is a Rarity-7+ or Rarity-8, represented by perhaps as many as five known specimens. This is the more available of the two, BUT it is VERY RARE in this lofty state of preservation and extremely so any finer. A bold, nearly reflective luster radiates and enlivens the brilliant fields. An antique silver-gray patina is accented by dashes and splashes of deeper slate and golden-russet toning. The devices are crisp, with bold details throughout, with just a hint of rub on the highest points, most impacting the eagle’s breast feathers. A strong glass reveals some very minor, totally insignificant marks and lines, nothing serious for a nearly Mint State coin that is 226 years old. Ex Heritage, January 2010, lot 2582; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 9, NGC 17. The most recent example to be auctioned off was from the Freedom Collection, sold by Stack’s Bowers in the 2013 ANA auction for $22,325; that record is nearly a decade old already! Much more recently we sold a PCGS AU53 CAC for $19,975 in September 2019. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $28,500. A great coin for anyone working on an advanced set of early dollars. Good luck. PCGS# 6859 | EST: $22,000+ 27

LOT 25 $1 1796 SMALL DATE, LARGE LETTERS. PCGS AU58 A borderline Mint State “GEM AU” super slider B-4, BB-61, one of the “Notable Specimens” listed by Dave Bowers in his 2013 Early Silver Dollar Encyclopedia. This is a conditionally challenging Rarity-3. This is the only die marriage of the year that has the Small date and Large Letters on the reverse. Fully lustrous on both sides, there are distinct accents of flashy, semi-reflective brilliance. Hints of the palest golden iridescent toning can be seen on the highest points in the central devices The devices are sharply impressed showing essentially full, complete definition. The wear, such as it is, is limited to the lightest friction on the highest points and light lines in the fields. There are no serious traces of contact or flaws of any kind, nor are there any adjustment marks anywhere. The eye appeal is quite pleasing overall on this well pedigreed example that at one time was called Mint State. Ex. Waldo C. Newcomber Collection; Col. E.H.R. Green Collection; James G. Macallister; T. James Clarke Collection; New Netherlands’ 48th Sale (Clarke Collection) 1956; lot 617 (as Choice Uncirculated); unknown intermediaries; Robert Lehmann; Cardinal Collection; ANR’s sale of the Cardinal Collection, June 2005, lot 17; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 3. The most recent example to sell brought $50,400 in April 2021 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $65,000. This is a wonderful example and note that any Mint State coin will bring a six figure price in auction. Good luck! PCGS# 6860 | EST: $55,000+ 28

LOT 26 $1 1796 LARGE DATE, SMALL LETTERS. PCGS MS62 Ex Cardinal-Friend, as noted on the insert. A truly CHOICE and sensational example of this early dollar variety, and this specimen has a well documented provenance and must have been one of Dale’s favorites, as he owned it twice over the years. Listed second in Dave Bowers’ 2013 listing of “Notable Specimens” for the B-5, BB-65 die marriage. This is the ONLY die marriage that combines the Large Date obverse with the Small Letters reverse, making it a distinct Red Book die variety, needed for any advanced set of early varieties. With its placement high up in the Condition Census and its bold visual allure, it is a delightful coin for anyone, and is only the second time a PCGS MS62 example to sell in auction since 2009! The strike is exceptionally bold on this Brilliant Uncirculated coin. Warm, antique silver-dove patina dominates with accents of some iridescent shades that appear at varied angles. The details are crisp and nearly complete throughout the design elements, with Liberty’s hair curls sharply impressed and all but the eagle’s highest breast feather details fully rendered. A few of the finest lines are seen with the aid of a strong glass, but distinctly absent from this Mint State early dollar are any adjustment marks, signs of serious mishandling, or any other flaw that distracts the viewer from the lovely eye appeal. Ex. Bowers & Merena’s Four Landmark Collections sale, March 1989, lot 1951; Dale Friend Collection; Legend Numismatics; Cardinal Collection, American Numismatic Rarities, June 2005, lot 19; Joseph C. Thomas Collection, Heritage, April 2009, lot 2539; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 2, NGC 1. The most recent example to sell was the Gardner-Templeton coin we sold in Regency Auction 47 for $123,375. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $160,000. An important opportunity, as PCGS has graded just two coins finer, the Col. Green-Eric Newman coin as MS63+ and the Cleneay-Pogue MS64. Do not let this important opportunity pass you by, this coin belongs in a WORLD CLASS cabinet of early dollars and we can see it bringing a very strong bid when the hammer falls. Good luck.

LOT 27 $1 1797 9 X 7 STARS, LARGE LETTERS PCGS AU55 Despite its status as a Rarity-3 die pairing, the B-1, BB-73 is in strong demand as the only one to feature the 9x7 Stars obverse and Large Letters reverse dies, making it a distinct Red Book variety. The present CHOICE AU piece is just a hairs breadth from a higher grade and placement in the Condition Census for the marriage. A well struck example from the Bowers Die State III, with extensive thin die cracks all around the obverse, and hints of clashing, without any die cracks on the reverse. The devices are crisply rendered from a strong blow from the screw press, the central portions showing only the slightest hint of softness, and most of that can be attributed to the minor rub from circulation. Both sides are richly toned, not dark, but offering a purely original palette of antique patina. Hints of surviving luster cling to the fields, particularly in the protected areas of the reverse. We do not know what CAC saw that precluded approval, this coin has a very high end and pleasing look that will delight any early dollar specialist. This coin does not appear to match any of the coins listed in the 2013 listing of “Notable Specimens” in the Bowers Encyclopedia, nor were we able to find a previous appearance in our auction database. PCGS 13, NGC 11. The most recent example sold in the 2019 ANA Auction for $31,200 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $36,500. PCGS has graded fewer than a dozen examples finer, most of which are graded AU58. It has been a long time since anything finer sold in auction, the most recent of which was a PCGS MS62 that sold in the May 2016 Pogue sale. This coin is HIGH END for the grade and it should bring a very strong bid today. This is a FANTASTIC coin for any early dollar cabinet focused on quality as well as grade. Opportunity knocks loudly here! PCGS# 6863 | EST: $32,000+ 30

LOT 28 $1 1797 9 X 7 STARS, SMALL LETTERS. PCGS XF40 CAC Ex Eliasberg, as noted on the insert. A “Notable Specimen” of this very scarce die marriage. The B-2, BB-72 is the scarcest of the three known marriages for the date, each of which is a distinct Red Book variety. Considered to be Rarity-3+ to Rarity-4, Dave Bowers estimated 200-300 survive in all grades, most of them well worn or problematic. Its scarcity has led to much debate over the exact number struck, and does shed some light on early mint practices in recording mintages. The recorded mintage of 7,776 accounts for all the coins struck in calendar year 1797, but Robert Hilt III suggested that this was the only die pair that was actually struck in 1797, B-1 and B-3, he suggested were actually struck in 1798. This is a totally original collector grade example, a superb example from the most famous coin collection of all time: Louis E. Eliasberg. Nicer than typically seen for the variety. The obverse shows sharply defined design elements, despite the light to moderate wear and the reverse shows the typical weakness on the eagle’s breast. The wear is generally even and the surfaces are generally problem free to the naked eye (only with a glass do any flaws, including one obverse scratch, blend in perfectly with the surrounding areas come into focus). Evenly toned in a medium dove-pewter gray patina, with accents of blue and gold that pop in a light. The eye appeal is exceptional for an XF coin. Ex. J. Colvin Randall, May 1894; J.M. Clapp Collection; J.H. Clapp Estate to Louis E. Eliasberg, via Stack’s, en bloc in 1942; Bowers & Merena/Stack’s sale of the Louis E. Eliasberg Collection, Part II, April 1997, lot 2178; Highland Collection; intermediaries; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 9, NGC 3, CAC 2. There are no really recent comparable examples to sell in auction: the last PCGS XF40 sold in March 2017 and was not CAC. A similar looking coin, graded PCGS XF45 CAC sold nearly six years ago for $22,325. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $18,500 and the CAC CPG value is a similar $18,600. We think those levels will be exceeded when this very choice and original, beautifully pedigreed piece crosses the block. Good luck. PCGS# 6866 | EST: $17,500+ 31

LOT 29 $1 1797 10 X 6 STARS. PCGS AU58 Ex Hesselgesser Collection, as noted on the insert. A marvelous B-3, BB-71 with a sensational look! A full satiny mint luster blooms boldly in the fields. The centers of both sides are a pearly-silver with old gold accents, deepening at the peripheries to crimson and azure tones. The devices are sharply struck up, even in the centers and there is just a hint of the faintest friction on the fields and the highest points of the design. There are some light adjustment marks in the central obverse, as made. A few trivial marks are seen with the aid of a strong glass. The eye appeal is exceptional in every way! Ex Amon Carter Collection, Stack’s, January 1984, lot 219 (photo matched); unknown intermediaries; Dr. Hesselgesser Collection, Goldberg’s, September 2011, lot 5028; Heritage, January 2013, lot 5717; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 11, NGC 9. This coin is the most recent example in the grade to sell in auction, realizing $42,594 nearly a decade ago and in the Hesselgesser sale brought $46,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $45,000. In today’s market we think this coin should bring a strong bid, early dollar collectors take note! PCGS# 6865 | EST: $40,000+ 32

LOT 30 $1 1798 SMALL EAGLE, 13 STARS. PCGS AU58 CAC Ex Cardinal and Legend Collections, as noted on the insert. This AMAZING AU58 B-1, BB-82 ranks among the FINEST KNOWN example of this scarce Red Book type, and boasts a SUPERB provenance that includes four of the greatest early dollar collections of this generation: Cardinal, Hesselgesser, Legend, and Dale Friend! With a pedigree like that, you know this coin is going to not just be high grade, but is also going to be of SUPERB quality for the assigned grade. This is a sensational, essentially Mint State early dollar. A bold underlying luster amplifies the visually alluring, dappled overtone of gold, blue, olive, and reddish patina, which forms an especially bold frame around the reverse. The devices are crisp and only on the eagle’s breast is the definition a trifle soft, a combination of the strike and the absolute bare minimal trace of wear. This magnificent high grade survivor is among the VERY FINEST KNOWN, and is a true delight to behold! The impressive pedigree is as follows: Ex. Farish Baldenhofer Collection, Stack’s, November 1955, lot 970; Lexington Collection, Bowers & Merena, January 1994, lot 1277; various intermediaries, including Tangible Assets Galleries and a private collector; Cardinal Collection, American Numismatic Rarities, June 2005, lot 24; Legend Numismatics; Naples III Collection; Don Willis; Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection, Goldberg’s, May 2011, lot 883; Legend Collection; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 3, NGC 3, CAC 3. Looking at the PCGS CoinFacts census, we believe that this coin has been through twice, and accounts for two of the three examples on the Population Report. This coin sold for $356,500 back in June 2011. Any coin graded higher is a MAJOR RARITY, with just four graded higher in all grades. The last two examples that have sold came from MAJOR collections: the MS61 coin in Pogue (2016)and the MS63 Cleneay-Newman-Morelan coin (2020). This is also the FINEST endorsed by CAC. Do not let this important opportunity slip away. We know the demand for this coin will be very strong! This is truly a WORLD CLASS early dollar and a numismatic treasure from the Dale Friend Collection. Who knows when another HIGH END example will come to the market again. PCGS# 6867 | EST: $125,000+ 33

LOT 31 $1 1798 SMALL EAGLE, 15 STARS. PCGS AU55 A SENSATIONAL Condition Census B-2, BB-81! Once cataloged as “Strictly Uncirculated,” this coin is VERY HIGH END for the grade. This is a richly toned example, with a bold satiny luster that highlights the slate and gold toning. Sharply struck devices stand out from a precision blow from the first mint’s screw press. Liberty’s hair curls are sharply delineated, as are the eagle’s breast feathers. Light adjustment marks crisscross the obverse, obscured by the thick, rich toning. The surfaces show only the lightest hint of rub, essentially nothing more than old fashioned cabinet friction and only under the closest scrutiny with a strong glass will you find any tick or mark, mostly seen at around 6:00 on the reverse. These are very minor. 1798 was a transitional year for the coining of silver dollars. First two reverse types were utilized, the Small Eagle type, as here, that was en vogue from 1795 to 1798 and then the Large Eagle, that was struck from 1798 to the end of the series (the last coins were struck in 1804, dated 1803 or earlier). The obverse die used on this variety features 15 stars, representing 15 states, but since Tennessee was added as the 16th state back in June 1796, this obverse die really made no sense, and was likely prepared in 1796, with the 179 punched in the die, and then when finally pressed into service in 1798, the final numeral in the date was punched into it. Later on the mint reverted to 13 stars, representing the 13 original states, as adding a star for each additional state would crowd the design. This coin has an illustrious pedigree. Ex James G. Macallister Collection; T. James Clarke Collection, New Netherlands’ 48th Sale, 1956, lot 621; unknown intermediaries; Heritage, September 2007, lot 1866 (as NGC AU58); Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 1, NGC 0. The only AU55 to sell was the other Hesselgesser coin, now graded AU55+, that realized $60,375 over a decade ago. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $65,000 and we feel this coin is worthy of a very strong bid. Honestly anything finer will cost six figures! Worthy of an advanced early dollar date set, and will see very strong bidding when it does! Good luck. PCGS# 6868| EST: $60,000+ 34

LOT 32 $1 1798 KNOB 9, 4 LINES. PCGS MS62 Ex Miller, as noted on the insert. THis is a very special B-3, BB-94, as it was once in the collection of Milferd Bolender, the author of one of the important die variety reference works on early dollars. The pedigree is extensive and is among the FINEST KNOWN examples of this Rarity-5 die marriage. This is a richly toned example that was last sold “raw” as CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED in the Stack’s January 2002 sale of the Hain Family Collection. Rich slate-blue and rose-gold accents are brought out by the bold underlying luster on both sides; frosty on the obverse, semi-reflective on the reverse. Sharply struck from Die State III, the reverse die was slightly out of alignment and the reverse is struck somewhat off-center to 9:00. A few minor mint made planchet flaws are seen with the aid of a strong glass, the deepest is seen near the arrows on the reverse. The eye appeal is wonderful. Ex Col. E.H.R. Green; L.B. Gettys; Milferd Bolender Collection, February 1952, lot 40; Private Denver Collection; sold privately to the Cardinal Collection; Heritage, July 1997, lot 6491; Hain Family Collection, Stack’s, January 2002, lot 1506; Warren Miller Collection; by private treaty to Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 1, NGC 0. This coin is likely the NGC MS63 on the NGC Census. There is only a single coin listed higher in the 2013 Bowers Encyclopedia and it does not appear on the PCGS Population Report anymore. This coin has not sold in auction in two decades! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $60,000 and we have no doubt a coin like this could bring that much when it crosses the block. Bust dollar specialists take note and do not let this important coin get away! PCGS# 40012 | EST: $45,000+ 35

LOT 33 $1 1798 POINTED 9, 4 LINES. PCGS AU58+ Another wonderfully CHOICE and HIGH END AU example that ranks in the lower Condition Census for the die pairing. The B-13, BB-108 variety is listed at Rarity-3, and while common overall, it is QUITE RARE in high AU grades and EXTREMELY RARE in Mint State. It is one of two die pairs that use this reverse die that have only 10 Arrows in the eagle’s talon. This “super slider” has a lot to offer the collector. A fully brilliant, satiny mint luster rolls undisturbed over essentially Mint State surfaces. The surfaces show few serious blemishes, mostly limited to a few tiny lines and ticks, but these are all mostly hidden by the gentle dusting of pastel iridescent toning. The pastel hues vary, very opal-like, when rotating the surfaces in a light. Shades of lilac, rose, pink, sky blue, soft green, and accents of deeper violet mingle on both sides. The definition is quite bold throughout, with just a hint of friction on the high points and some very minor weakness on the eagle’s breast feathers. The eye appeal is truly wonderful and a delight to behold. The Bowers (2013) Condition Census is 63-61-60-58 (multiples); this 58+ is squarely in that range. This impressive coin does not match any of the examples listed in the list of “Notable Specimens.” PCGS 2, NGC 2. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $22,500 and we think this coin will bring around that level when the hammer falls. RARE in Mint State, this coin is great for the type or date collector and will fit nicely in the ultimate “Everyman” set. PCGS# 40025 | EST: $15,000+ 36

LOT 34 $1 1799 PCGS AU58 A near Mint State B-9, BB-166, one of the more common die marriages of the year, with Dave Bowers estimating 1,000 to 1,800 surviving in all grades, mostly VF or lower. Struck from Die State V, with a number of die cracks, “sand paper” texture in the fields, and clash marks, which account for an estimated 10-20% of known examples. A nearly full luster radiates boldly in the fields. A teal-blue, cobalt, and pale emerald green mix hints of apricot gold near the peripheries. In addition to the prescribed die cracks and other variations on the dies from extensive use, we note remnants of lathe lines, concentric raised lines in the drapery and on Liberty’s breast. Close inspection with the aid of a strong glass reveals some contact marks on the bust and some minor friction from its brief time in circulation. The eye appeal is quite pleasing. PCGS 99, NGC 88. There is a very wide range of APRs for PCGS AU58 pieces sold in auction in recent years, from $11,100 to $28,800. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $17,500 and this attractive AU58 is sure to please the type or date collector. Good luck. PCGS# 6878 | EST: $15,000+ 37

LOT 35 $1 1799 IRREGULAR DATE, 13 STARS. PCGS AU58 Ex Miller Collection, as noted on the insert. This is an important early dollar, the FINEST KNOWN B-13, BB-151. This Rarity-5 die marriage is the RAREST of the year, and this wonderfully pedigreed AU58 has a sensational look and bold quality. The faintest hint of rub can be detected on both sides of this high grade early dollar. The coin is well struck and nicely centered on both sides. The details are generally fully rendered, and only some of the highest points are flat from the light wear. An underlying luster survives under the rich rose, slate, and iridescent toning. The surfaces show some very superficial marks and ticks, but truly all are trivial and have little impact on the visual allure. Ex Stack’s session of Auction ‘87, July 1987, lot 779; Gilbert Steinberg Collection, Superior, September 1996, lot 961; Cardinal Collection, American Numismatic Rarities, June 2005, lot 37; Warren Miller Collection; David Perkins/ Andrew Lustig; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 5, NGC 3. These Population Figures include both die pairings that make up the 13 Star Irregular Date variety (BB-152 is a Rarity-2 marriage). Since this coin sold way back in 2005, the two PCGS AU58s were the much more common BB-152 variety. This coin sold for $23,500 back then, and should sell for more today. This is an important opportunity for the most advanced early dollar specialists and should not be ignored. Good luck. PCGS# 6880 | EST: $20,000+ 38

LOT 36 $1 1799 8X5 STARS. PCGS AU58 CAC Ex Hesselgesser/Cardinal, as noted on the insert. First off, the tag is not big enough to include the names of all the important collections this wonderful AU58 B-23, BB-159 has been a part of! The known provenance of this piece dates back to the 1904 sale of the John G. Mills Collection, and was once part of the LEGENDARY Eliasberg Collection! This is the only die pairing of the year that has the 13 stars arranged with eight stars behind Liberty’s head and five in front of her profile. This is a very high end AU58. Barely any wear is seen anywhere, both in the fields and the highest points the rub is limited to the lightest friction. Richly toned surfaces abound with shades of sky blue, lilac, dove, pewter, and antique silver patina. A limited number of trivial contact marks are seen with the aid of a powerful glass. Hints of luster clings to the protected areas of the designs producing a “back lighting” effect to the toning. The eye appeal is exceptional in every way! This coin has a long, impressive provenance that really adds to the desirability of this nearly Mint State piece. Ex. John G. Mills Collection, S.H. & H. Chapman, April 1904, lot 689; J.M. Clapp; John H. Clapp; Clapp Estate, sold en bloc to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr, via Stack’s in 1942; Louis E.

PCGS 3, NGC 3, CAC 1. This coin has not been sold at auction in a decade, so any previous auction records are essentially useless. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $27,500 and the CAC CPG value is $27,600. We anticipate this SUPERB example will fetch a very strong bid. A great coin for the serious collector of early silver dollars. Just the PCGS MS64 from the Pogue Collection is graded finer at PCGS, this coin is worthy of the FINEST of cabinets. Bidding will be fierce for this this one! PCGS# 6881 | EST: $20,000+ 39

LOT 37 $1 1800 PCGS AU55 CAC This is a particularly CHOICE and ORIGINAL AU55 B-16, BB-187, and just below the Bowers (2013) census. As a Rarity-2 variety, identified by the die flaws by RT in LIBERTY and ES in STATES, this is a great coin for the type or date collector! A nicely struck example with a wealth of underlying mint frost that glows from below the delicate russet-tan, pearly-pewter, and soft iridescent hues draped across both the obverse and reverse. Pleasing definition to the devices are struck from Bowers Die State IV, with bold clashing and a curving die crack across the bust. The eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 49, NGC 47, CAC 11. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,500 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $15,600. None have sold in over four years making this a fantastic opportunity for the collector! Who knows when another PCGS/CAC AU55 will appear in auction. Good luck. PCGS# 6887 | EST: $12,000+ 40

LOT 38 $1 1800 WIDE DATE, LOW 8. PCGS AU58 Ex Freedom Collection, as noted on the insert. A Condition Census level B-10, BB-190. This was a prolific die marriage, as there are seven distinct die states listed in Dave Bowers’ Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars, 1794-1804. The present coin is struck from a middle state, listed as Die State IV, which happens to be the most common of the known states. Nicely preserved surfaces show no more than the lightest hint of friction on the highest points and in the fields. A wealth of retained luster enlivens the soft clear gold and pearly silver that dusts the majority of the surfaces and brings out the splashes of deeper gold and violet blue at the reverse. There are no serious flaws worthy of mention any kind. This is a solid coin for the collector, combining high grade and pleasing aesthetics! Ex Freedom Collection, Stack’s Bowers’ 2013 ANA Auction, lot 4339. PCGS 7, NGC 1. The most recent example of this variety to sell in auction was CAC approved and sold for $23,500 in our March 2019 Regency Auction, lot 301. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $28,500 and few finer examples have appeared in auction in the last decade, making this a very important coin for the collector of high grade early dollars. We expect the bidding to be strong on this one, don’t let it get away. PCGS# 6888 | EST: $18,500+ 41

LOT 39 $1 1800 WIDE DATE, LOW 8, AMERICAI. PCGS AU58 Tied for second FINEST KNOWN for this important RARE variety, the rarer of the two AMERICAI reverse marriages. The B-11, BB-191 is currently listed as a Rarity-4. Tied with the Cardinal Collection coin that was also graded PCGS AU58, but this coin is in our opinion a nicer piece. This obverse die was used to strike BB-190, then lapped to remove clash marks; the reverse die was paired with another obverse to strike the more common BB-192 AMERICAI variety. A virtually complete, and undisturbed luster radiates boldly on both sides. This underlying brilliance brings out the teal, rose, lilac, and deeper violet tones that embraces both the obverse and reverse. Nicely struck, showing just some of the typical weakness at the eagle’s head and the area around the ribbon and lower stars. Some minor adjustment marks can be seen in the azure of the shield. Some ancient lines and minor ticks, mostly from its brief stay in commerce from the end of the John Adams administration, none of which are distracting to the naked eye and requires a strong glass to see. A very pleasing example that will delight any type, date, or variety collector. Ex Heritage, January 2017, lot 4590 (as old holdered NGC AU55); Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 1. The last PCGS AU58 to sell in auction was the Cardinal-Thomas BB-192, which sold in April 2009! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $26,000. The only BB-191 finer is the Amon Carter- David Queller- Warren Miller PCGS MS62+ that sold in April 2008 for $63,250. We suspect this high AU coin will entice strong bidding from the sophisticated collector and will end up in another great collection of early dollars. PCGS# 86888 | EST: $22,000+ 42

LOT 40 $1 1800 DOTTED DATE. PCGS AU58+ The 1800 Dotted Date, B-14, BB-194, is a very popular variety, so named by the raised die lumps that surround the first 0 in the date. With about 500-900 estimated in all grades, its a common enough issue, but in AU or finer, this variety is truly RARE and the Condition Census ranges from 65 down to AU58. This coin ranks within the Census, but does not appear to be any of the ones listed in the list of “Notable Specimens.” Only a slight hint of friction can be seen any where on the surfaces of this lustrous example. Pearly-dove, antique silver, russet-tan, and pale gold patina graces both sides. Well struck, this coin clearly saw a precision blow from the screw press, even the eagle’s neck feathers are full and crisp. The only “flaw” of note, is a very thin hairline that can be seen on the bust, but this is not a major distraction and has virtually zero impact on the essentially Brilliant Uncirculated early dollar offered here. What a great coin! PCGS 1, NGC 0. There are just three graded finer at PCGS. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $32,500. We think this coin will bring close to that. Bound for another superb cabinet of early dollars. PCGS# 6889 | EST: $28,000+ 43

LOT 41 $1 1800 10 ARROWS. PCGS AU55 CAC Ex Hesselgesser and Cardinal Collections, as noted on the insert. This lovely CHOICE AU B-17, BB-196 is listed as “Notable Specimen” #2 on the Bowers 2013 Census, and is a challenging Rarity-4 die marriage. This is the ONLY die pair with the 10 Arrows reverse. Pleasing golden-tan and soft russet-apricot hues are enlivened by a satiny underlying frosty brilliance. The lightest friction and some of the most minor traces of contact from its brief stay in commerce are only visible with the aid of a powerful loupe. The eye appeal is excellent. Ex Superior, June 2000, lot 1606; Legend Numismatics; Cardinal Collection; ANR’s sale of the Cardinal Collection, June 2005, lot 51; Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection; Goldberg’s sale of the Hesselgesser Collection, September 2011, lot 5119; Goldberg’s, May 2012, lot 1310; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. Off the market for a month shy of a decade, this is an important opportunity of the Bust dollar specialist. Realizing $19,550 in the Hesselgesser (2011) sale and the Cardinal Collection (2005) sale, we expect strong bidding when this coin crosses the block in April 2022. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $19,000 and it would not be a a shock if this coin exceeded that level. Good luck! PCGS# 6891 | EST: $17,500+ 44

LOT 42 $1 1800 AMERICAI. PCGS MS63 Ex Pittman and Pogue Collections, as noted on teh insert. This is a FABULOUS CHOICE Mint State example of this important Red Book variety, one of the FINEST KNOWN examples, perhaps third in the Condition Census, behind the Newman coin (NGC MS65 and the Paramount ‘85 coin which has not been certified as yet, but called MS65 in that auction sale); this coin, certified MS64 by NGC after the Pittman Sale, but before the Pogue sale ranks higher in Bower’s 2013 list of “Notable Specimens” than the Queller PCGS MS63 and the Eliasberg NGC MS63. The die variety got its name from the die gouge after AMERICA, making it look like AMERICAI. Frosty brilliance gleam with a bold satiny lustrous glow on both sides, amplifying the CHOICE quality surfaces. The devices are boldly rendered by a crisp and complete blow from the dies. Clearly never seriously “conserved” in any way, the luster is still bold in the recesses of the designs. Delicate clear gold and lilac iridescent toning is dusted across the surfaces attesting to the originality and adding greatly to the outstanding visual quality. While a few minor scattered ticks can be seen on either side, these are faint, microscopic, and do nothing to impede the exceptional visual allure of this CHOICE early dollar. Ex Adolph Friedman Collection; Numismatic Gallery’s 1949 ANA Auction, August 1949, lot 198; John J. Pittman Collection; David Akers’ sale of the Pittman Collection, May 1998, lot 1669; D.

In its most recent appearance, this impressive coin sold for $60,000 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $75,000. We expect the advanced collector to bid somewhere in that range and would not be surprised it fit brought even more!

LOT 43 $1 1801 PCGS AU58 A CONDITION CENSUS B-3, BB-213. A great coin for the date or type in every way. This is the type of high end AU coin we call a “GEM” AU. Struck from Die State III of the dies, the collar die clash is clearly seen at Liberty’s bust line. Classic, old time, antique gold and dove-silver toning envelopes the obverse, evenly and delicately covering that side. The reverse is deeper with lilac-dove as the dominant hue, with accents of golden tan. A nearly complete mint luster blooms vividly on the obverse, while the reverse is a touch more subdued due to the depth of the toning. The strike is bold, with nearly full definition on both sides. A few microscopic ticks are seen on either side, none of which have any real impact on the visual impact of this coin, which we are certain in earlier times would have been cataloged as a Mint State or Brilliant Uncirculated coin. The friction is very minimal, making this a real slider early dollar. PCGS 24, NGC 20. The most recent examples to sell were CAC-approved, no non-CAC PCGS AU58 has sold in auction in nearly five years. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $32,500, a reflection of the strong APRs of the PCGS/CAC examples that brought $30,550 in 2018 and $28,200 in July 2020. This attractive coin will certainly see healthy competition when it crosses the block and will find itself in a fantastic cabinet of early dollars or a wonderful type set.

LOT 44 $1 1802/1 WIDE DATE. PCGS MS61 A CONDITION CENSUS example of the B-3, BB-234 die marriage, and this pleasing Mint State Bust dollar has a great look! Sharply struck from Bowers Die State III. A bold luster is retained in the fields under a thick, rich melange of antique slate, pewter, lilac, lavender, and powder blue patina that envelopes both sides. The surfaces show nary a mark worthy of mention, and only under the most intense scrutiny with a strong glass are you able to find any contact of any kind on the surfaces. The eye appeal is very pleasing! Ex Central States sale, Heritage, May 2004, lot 7962; Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection, Goldberg’s, September 2011, lot 5127; Warren Miller Collection; David Perkins and Andy Lustig; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 1, NGC 0. Off the market for over a decade, the APR from the Hesselgesser sale is ancient history. More recently we sold a PCGS AU58 CAC example for $37,600 in our December 2021 Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value in MS61 is $42,500 and we think this coin will bring around that when the hammer finally falls. Good luck. PCGS# 6899 | EST: $35,000+ 47

LOT 45 $1 1802/1 NARROW DATE. PCGS MS62 This CONDITION CENSUS B-4, BB-232 comes from one of the greatest name sales of the mid-20th century, The Davis-Graves Collection! This coin matches exactly the photo of that April 1954 sale and it is indeed a fabulous coin! A wealth of luster rolls boldly over the surfaces of this essentially CHOICE early dollar. The strike is bold, nearly complete throughout the design. The surfaces ooze with originality, wonderful old gold and rose overtones mingle with ancient lilac, tan, and pearly-silver undertones. There are some old stray marks and light lines seen with the aid of a strong glass, well hidden under the toning, only visible when rotated in a light. Ex George L. Graves Collection, collected prior to 1891; Stack’s sale of the Davis-Graves Collection, April 1954, lot 1326; unknown intermediaries; Heritage, March 2010, lot 1204; D. Brent Pogue Collection, Stack’s Bowers, March 2017, lot 5039; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 2. This coin brought $39,950 in March 2017 and $46,000 back in 2010. The market is stronger today than it was in 2017 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $47,500. We note that an MS63 sold in our September 2021 sale of the Eric H. Templeton Collection for $70,500. This beautiful early dollar with a fantastic pedigree, is worthy of another world class cabinet. Bid accordingly. PCGS# 6898 | EST: $40,000+ 48

LOT 46 $1 1802 NARROW DATE. PCGS AU58 Impressive for the issue and grade, this CHOICE AU B-6, BB-241 is certain to appeal to a wide range of collectors from the casual type collector, all the way to the die variety enthusiast. A vibrant surviving luster has accents of semi-Prooflike reflection, while the sharply struck devices stand out with a rich frost. The toning, such that it is is light and only comes into view when you rotate it in a light. The wear too is extremely light had is barely perceptible on either side, with the boldly impressed devices retaining nearly full definition on both sides. There are no serious abrasions nor marks, scuffs, lines, or marks of any kind, anywhere, worthy of singular mention. The eye appeal and quality are very nice and truly a delight to behold. Ex Stack’s Bowers, August 2013, lot 4350; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 25. The most recent PCGS AU58 to sell was CAC approved, selling for $17,626 in the 2014 ANA auction. (we like this coin more). The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $19,500. Even though this die marriage is listed as a Rarity-1, and the 2013 Bowers Census lists multiple MS65 examples, in the market, any Mint State piece is rarely offered and beautiful AU58 pieces are highly coveted by collectors. Good luck. PCGS# 6895 | EST: $17,000+ 49

LOT 47 $1 1802 WIDE DATE. PCGS AU58 Ex Cardinal and Hesselgesser, as noted on the insert. Arguably the FINEST KNOWN example of this elusive Rarity-5 die marriage. This is the first example enumerated in Dave Bowers’ 2013 listing of “Notable Specimens.” Only 75-140 examples are known in all grades of the B-5, BB-242, making it the rarest non-overdate die marriage of the year. Even back in the 1880s when Haseltine was creating his “Type Table,” an early study on die varieties, it was known as being rare. This is a monumental example of this rare die variety. Satiny brilliant luster accents the peripheral golden and russet toning that deepens with hues of blue and green. The devices are sharply struck with only the faintest hint of rub on the highest points of the design. The eye appeal is excellent and we really do not see anything that would preclude a CAC approval. In our opinion this coin is high end for the grade and pleasingly original. Ex Warren Miller Collection, sold privately to the Cardinal Collection; ANR’s sale of the Cardinal Collection, June 2005, lot 59; Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection, Goldberg’s, September 2011, lot 5131; Goldberg’s, May 2012, lot 1315; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 23, NGC 28. When this coin sold a decade ago, it realized $17,538 and is the most recent PCGS AU58 Wide Date to sell. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $17,500. We think this high end AU, borderline Mint State example should bring more than the current published levels. If you are building the FINEST set of early dollars by die variety, you cannot take this important opportunity for granted. Good luck. PCGS# 6896 | EST: $18,000+ 50
