Dealers and collectors are in Southern California this week with the Long Beach Expo starting Thursday, Wednesday for dealers. The week began in Beverley Hills for a two-day sale that ends today hosted by Legend Rare Coin Auctions, and bidders so far have been very competitive.
One of the early highlights from the first session of the Regency Auction 30 was a 1909 D $20 Gold St. Gaudens in PCGS MS67 CAC that was formerly from the Eliasberg and Duckor collections. This is the finest known and the only one with the CAC sticker, and it brought $329,000. The current NumisMedia CAC value is $350,000.

Another former Eliasberg coin, the 1896 O Barber Half Dollar in PCGS MS67 CAC sold for $123,375. This is the finest known coin for the date and the NumisMedia CAC value is only at $85,000. Even though there were over 900,000 coins originally minted, there are very few available in high grades with only a total of 15 in MS65 and higher.
