Legend Rare Coin Auctions will close their 2021 Regency Auction series on December 16, 2021, with a major event. Four well known collections will anchor the sale with three focused on gold coins. This will represent the largest and most impressive group of gold coins they have offered, according to Legend.

Cody’s Collection is a PCGS Registry Set of 19th century gold type coins. The collection is complete, minus two pieces, and was built by a longtime customer of Legend Numismatics and Legend Rare Coin Auctions. Highlights are G$1 1855 PCGS MS66+ CAC; $2.50 1829 PCGS MS64 CAC; $5 1811 Small 5. PCGS MS64+ CAC; $5 1834 Capped Head. Crosslet 4. PCGS MS63+ CAC. Ex Eliasberg/Pogue; and $10 1803 PCGS MS63+ CAC.

The Naples Collection is composed of early gold coins, mostly quarter eagles. Also assembled by a longtime Legend customer, it is primarily a seven-figure group of coins. They include $2.50 1796 Stars. PCGS AU55; $2.50 1807 PCGS MS62 CAC; $5 1796/5 PCGS MS62 CAC Ex. Eliasberg; and $10 1797 Small Eagle. PCGS AU55.

The Big Cypress Collection is filled with early quarter eagles, half eagles, and eagles, as well as partial sets of Carson City mint half eagles and eagles. All graded by PCGS, some are in Mint grade. They include $2.50 1805 PCGS AU55; $5 1795 Small Eagle. PCGS AU55; $10 1872-CC PCGS XF45 CAC; $10 1876-CC PCGS XF45; and $20 1863 PCGS AU53 CAC.

“Gold, gold, and wow better gold,” Legend Rare Coin Auctions founder Laura Sperber said. “As strong as the overall coin market was this past year, quality rare gold coins have mostly remained in hiding, frustrating dealers and collectors alike.  We will have one of the best selections of rarities offered this year in our December Regency Auction.  The timing could not be better!”  

The December 16 auction will be held, in conjunction with the PCGS Members Only Show at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, NV.
