The Regency Auction 59

详细说明: Another VERY RARE and under-loved issue. Again, only 30 Proofs were struck for collectors; 20 coins were delivered on January 20, and another 10 were struck and delivered on November 22. Today, 14 to 18 examples are estimated to survive in all grades. Like many of these lower mintage issues, there are a number impounded in collections, that will likely never become available to collectors, and thus even rarer and harder to acquire than the numbers might suggest. There are two in the Smithsonian and one in the ANS. This coin boasts a very thick, tangerine orange color that is really a delight to behold. Both obverse and reverse display ample field to device contrast, though not deep enough for PCGS to award a CAM designation. There are a few stray lines and a tiny tick or two, visible with the aid of a strong glass that keeps this from an even higher grade holder. The eye appeal is gorgeous! PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. Recent comps are few and far between, as can be expected for a coin that has less than 12-15 available to collectors in all grades. The last PR63 sold back in February 2008. A non-CAC PR64 sold in February 2016--a much weaker market, for $9,400 and a PR64 CAM CAC sold 11+ years ago. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $7,500 and the CAC CPG value is $7,380. We expect strong bidding when this one crosses the block--our estimate will likely prove very conservative. Cert. Number 39641526 PCGS # 7629
