Getting Ready for FUN
December 18, 2017
Legend Rare Coin Auctions hosted the featured sale at last week's PCGS Members Only Show in Las Vegas, the last significant auction of the year. This sale was filled with some wonderful rarities that attracted strong bidding, highlighted by the sale of the 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar, previously from the Colonel Green and Eric Newman collections. This coin was certified by PCGS as MS62 and brought $141,000 and there are just 35 coins grading higher with MS65 the highest.

As is typical for this time of the year, most in the industry are focused on two things, spending time with family and readying for the FUN Show. Heritage Auctions will again be hosting the official FUN Sale and among the multitude of rarities will be a set of Walking Liberty Half Dollars assembled by Dr. Steven Duckor, all with the CAC sticker and certified by PCGS. Most of these Walkers are the finest known or tied for the finest known.

One highlight of this Walking Liberty Half Dollar sale will be the 1918 D PCGS MS66 CAC; there are just five certified but this is the only one with the CAC sticker. Another coin to watch is the 1921 S in PCGS MS65+ CAC; while there are 36 coins certified in MS65, there are only two that make the MS65+ grade and just this one with the CAC sticker. This set is just a portion of the FUN sale and there are many other rarities that should attract some aggressive bidding, more coverage of FUN will be available in our next issue.
This will be our last Market Report for 2017. Happy Holidays to All!
