DLRC Offered Three Chugum PCGS Registry Sets in No-Reserve March 2026 Auctions
In an announcement published on February 19, 2026, DLRC said it would offer three Chugum PCGS registry sets in weekly Thursday auctions closing in March. The sets cover Flying Eagle and Indian cents, Lincoln cents and classic commemoratives, and every lot runs with no reserve. The announcement does not include results.
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): We rewrote the headline, summary and body to match the source, a DLRC announcement published by CoinNews on February 19, 2026, and stated that the auctions were scheduled to close in March 2026 and that the announcement does not report results. We replaced a vague reference to "the other cent series" with Indian cents, removed an unsupported bidding recommendation and keywords not found in the source, and added the missing English body. The previous headline was "DLRC March Auction Features Flying Eagle and Indian Cent Registry Sets."
This article is based on an announcement by DLRC, published by CoinNews on February 19, 2026. The auctions were scheduled to close in March 2026; the announcement does not include results.

The first is the Chugum Flying Eagle and Indian Cent Collection. According to the announcement, it includes two All-Time Finest #1 PCGS registry sets for those series. Both are 100% complete and are tied for first in their respective PCGS Everyman Mint State categories.
The auction has 69 coins and includes several additional varieties. Many coins are in old holders or carry CAC stickers, and the announcement says many have been off the market for over 20 years. It was scheduled to close on Thursday, March 12.
