They are called Regency slabs , arn't they?

TommyType · January 2, 2005 10:14AM

Unrelated to the slab, but....

Doesn't that look AU to anyone???

lordmarcovan · January 2, 2005 10:15AM

Yep. A Regency slab. I've only seen one.

And that $20 is conservatively graded, too.

TommyType · January 2, 2005 10:16AM

I guess Lord Marcovan doesn't think so......

Maybe it's the lighting......(Or my poor eyesight.)

<< <i>They are called Regency slabs , arn't they? >>

That would be correct. Gold sure looks cool in those!

That's what Heritage calls the now discontinued prestige slab, although Cammy said it has a different name. Apparently the owner could have what he wanted put on it as a identifier. The Dr. Huffnagle Collection (HERITAGE) has a Morgan 1892CC (DPML?) in one that says "possible proof" even though there's no record of CC Branch Mint Proofs (except 1893CC), there. Expensive opinion huh?

No, T.T.- I see what you mean. It does look like it has some rub, but I don't think it's a slider. I've owned PCGS 63's that looked worse.

Earlier Double Eagles are a bit harder to grade. This one is a 61+, IMO.

robertpr · January 2, 2005 11:58AM

I guess I should have clarified!

I *know* it's a regency slab...the thing that puzzles me is why the price is so far out of line! It's incredibly overpriced, unless you like paying extra for the fancy slab!

rainbowroosie · January 2, 2005 12:05PM

Cool slab, but why did someone pay a premium many years ago to slab a "so so" hunk of gold????

A regular slab seems plenty good enough for that coin?? Am I missing something???

airplanenut · January 2, 2005 12:18PM

Those slabs are extremely hard to find and do command a premium. From what I've seen, they're only second to the black NGC slabs, which almost never appear.

Also this 1878 $20 has a bit of doubling on its reverse which does add a bit of value to the coin.

Conder101 · January 2, 2005 3:27PM

Something must be up, that lot is gone now.

oreville · January 3, 2005 11:15AM

I had put in a bid for that 1878 DDR $20 Liberty on Saturday and was hoping no one else would discover it.

My "make an offer" bid to Heritage was successful.

It is sort of a triple play for me.

One=== a DDR coin. Neat to have.
Two=== a Regency holder. Goes well in the gold coins.
Three==a sleepy "forgotten" date. A bit pricey here only because it is in this holder.
Four===I needed the date/mm for my set anyway!

The link says invalid item #? What happened to that lot?

Nice pickup!

Myqqy · January 5, 2005 9:13AM

I also think that was a cool pickup... can you post a pic of the reverse doubling?

relayer · January 5, 2005 9:28AM

Nice pick-up oreville

oreville · January 5, 2005 10:22AM

Thank you for the kind thoughts. I find that I am getting more and more eccentric in my purchasing of numismainia stuff.

Not that I was normal to begin with!!!!
