The Regency Auction 45

Losbeschreibung: What a cool piece! This is a remarkable CHOICE grade with a full Deep Cameo contrast, one of only two pieces so graded at PCGS. Only 73 Proofs were struck for collectors, and today perhaps 30-35 examples are extant. Bold, golden mirrors beam with a strong reflection. The devices possess both a strong strike and beautiful frosty texture that contrasts wonderfully against the fields. Some minor marks, are seen, which account for the assigned grade, perhaps from careless handling ages ago. None of these minor marks are too distracting on their own, and together are not enough to preclude CAC "beaning" this CHOICE DCAM Proof. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. A non-CAC approved PR63 DCAM sold for $9,000 nearly four years ago. The CAC CPG value is $11,600 and the PCGS Price Guide is $11,000. We think this coin will certainly bring in that range. There is one DCAM graded finer, a PR66 DCAM that has never been sold via auction. Good luck. Cert. Number 37470138 PCGS # 97910.00
