The Legend Rare Coin Auctions Regency XVI sale in Las Vegas, held on 18th February, offered some heavily toned Morgan dollars. One among them was the 1880-S dollar graded MS-66 by PCGS with bold shades of magenta, azure, and turquoise which was sold for $4,465.

The Auction also had the 1946 Iowa Statehood Centennial half dollar, MS-68+, CAC which was auctioned for an impressive $7,931.25. These coins are generally well-preserved, with most certified surviving examples grading at least MS-65. This MS-68+ 1946 Iowa half dollar has a green CAC sticker. Legend wrote, “Strong mint frost booms through rich red-green-gold-orange-violet toning, which we rate a 10 that was imparted by long term storage in the original packaging of issue.”

The firm’s next auction is scheduled for May 19th, in New Orleans at Harrah’s hotel and casino.
