	10C	1896	PR64CAM	PCGS 36911463	Choice	$900	Near-Gem Original, Cameo Proof Strike.. Frosty devices rise above the mirrored fields, revealing a “black and white” Cameo effect as the piece is tilted under a light. A sharp strike imparts strongly impressed design elements, and the bow knot is completely split. A few wispy lines, detectable with a glass, are present in the right, obverse field. Proof Barber dimes form a 24-coin series, dated from 1892-1915, and the low CAC populations dictate that full sets remain remarkably elusive. Still, many of these pieces are available at price points under $1,000. CAC has approved 32 pieces in all grades, five examples in PR64 Cameo, and 23 coins finer. The CAC price guide value is $842. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #84880
	10C	1897-O	MS64	PCGS 15997219	Choice	$2600	Rich Mint Bloom, Peripheral Gold, Near-Gem Original, New Orleans Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Demand for Mint State Barber dimes continues to be strong as witness by recent price increases within the PCGS Price Guide. Case in point is this attractively frosted 1897-O lot recently released from the New Orleans Collection. With a mintage of only 666,000, the date is limited to 26 example certified at the offered grade. Undisturbed mint bloom covers both sides with a hint of peripheral gold. Barber dimes are known for being well struck with this lot being deeply impressed at the New Orleans mint. A worthy example for those that enjoy heavily frosted silver pieces. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	10C	1901-O O/Horiz O	EF40	PCGS 30878761	Choice	$385	O/Horizontal O, Natural Coin Gray Patina, A Cool Die Variety. The 1891-O F-109 O Over Horizontal dime die variety is not a unique mintmark punching error as the same situation is found in the Barber dime series. This newly acquired 1901-O O Over Horizontal O example shares the same diagnostics as its predecessor. The remnants of a horizontal O are seen within the top and bottom oval of the final mintmark punch. This is a Cherrypickers documented die variety with PCGS certifying a total of 32 examples in grades ranging from Good 4 through MS66. Natural coin gray patina is thick on the obverse while the reverse is more lightly toned with some residual luster under a bright light. Surfaces are unabraded and pleasing. This cool die variety is showcased by a strictly original and choice example. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	10C	1903	PR64	PCGS 82997413	Gem	$900	Gem Original, Proof Strike.. This colorful, CAC-approved example will immediately grab the eye, as the vibrant rim patina contrasts with untoned centers. Intense blue-green shade fills the legend and wreath, surrounding rings of maroon hue on both sides. The in-hand appeal is consistent with the images, and the next owner will not be disappointed. CAC notes 37 examples in all grades, 11 coins in PR64, and 19 pieces in higher grades. The CAC price guide assigns a value of $780, and a higher bid would not surprise us. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4887
	10C	1905-O	MS62	NGC 565336003		$365	Creamy Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Peripheral Light Gold. A better 21st century New Orleans date with granular frosted luster and light peripheral gold toning. Under a bright light, the radiance is notable with swirling cartwheels. This offering has the eye appeal of a higher grade, though a 10x reveals very faint micro lines on the obverse that are of no consequence. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder.

	10C	1914	MS66	PCGS 25012534	Gem	$700	Superb Eye Appeal, Gem Original, Worn Holder, Wicker Park Collection. Satiny luster and multi-color toning are the highlights of this notably attractive 1914 Philadelphia struck Barber dime. The originality is beyond doubt given the brilliant radiance. Orange and copper gold hues are predominant on the obverse while the reverse offers intermixed pastel rose, gold, and aquamarine hues. The overall strike is deeply impressed and pleasing. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with the obverse side of the holder having some plastic haze..
	25C	1892	MS65	PCGS 27231276	Gem	$975	Ideal Type Piece, Superb Eye Appeal, Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels. At GFRC, we handle a steady stream of 1892 Barber quarters with the exceptionally pleasing examples being easily noted. This new Whitman Baltimore purchase was a no-brainer given the superb eye appeal along with naturally toned surfaces, swirling cartwheels, and frosted luster. The preservation is exquisite and is nicely captured by my images. I like this piece so much that a JUST BUY IT NOW shout out is appropriate. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1892	MS64	NGC Fatty 263145006	Choice	$500	Beautiful Type Candidate, Sparkling Luster, Copper-Aquamarine Toning, Near-Gem. Type collectors seeking "the right" Barber quarter should carefully consider this near-gem example. Why? First is the sparkling frosted luster that consistently radiates across the obverse and reverse. Second is the semi-transparent copper colored patina that melts to aquamarine shades when placed under a light source. Unabraded fields further enhance the overall presentation. A truly attractive 1892 Barber that is housed in a pristine NGC Gen 4 (1990-1992) no line Fatty holder with brown label. The combination bears witness to the early days of conservative TPG grading.
	25C	1892	MS64	PCGS 82686916	Choice	$450	Ideal Type Candidate, Partially Mirrored Fields, Superb Eye Appeal. Of course, 1892 Philadelphia strikes are typically employed as type coins in all three Barber series. If needing a differentiated quarter for type, then this offering should garner close scrutiny. To make the point, I'm calling a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as the partially mirrored fields are exemplary under a bright light. Fields are smooth and pristine. Overall strikes is deeply impressed with some of the most high relief reverse details seen in recent memory. This lot has been hiding in the GFRC inventory boxes and has not been to CAC. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	25C	1892 Type 2 Reverse	MS63	NGC 4458779005	Choice	$575	Triple Die Reverse, Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Wicker Park Collection. Stone original with brilliant satiny luster and frost gracing the unabraded fields coupled with sharply struck devices.

The triple die doubling is noted on the reverse legend. Listed as FS-301 in the Cherrypickers guide. Housed in new large font NGC holder. The label attribution reads as TDR TYPE 2 REV FS-801.
	25C	1892	MS60	NGC 2654490015	Choice	$235	Frosted Luster, First Rate Eye Appeal for Type, Light Rub. MS60 has always been an odd grade, especially for earlier silver type coins. This lovely 1892 Barber quarter has been certified as MS60, but in reality should be in an AU58 holder and is priced accordingly. Frosted luster is consistent on both sides with varying grayish shades. A 10x inspection confirm light rub on the cheek though the overall eye appeal is first rate. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	25C	1892-O Type 1 Reverse	MS64	PCGS 28551877	Choice	$950	Near-Gem, Frosted Luster, Pristine Surfaces, Die Cud at Base. Frosted luster is prevalent throughout this most attractive 1892-O Barber quarter with hints of steely radiance on the reverse. Under a bright light, the cartwheels are satisfying. Quite notable are the pristine surfaces that entirely blemish free. Obverse toning is limited to copper-gold at the periphery while the reverse sports light rose-gold with greenish hues at the center. Please note the die cud at the left edge of the bottom of the bust. This piece is so close to gem with just a tad more obverse luster pushing this one to a full GFRC-Gem quality rating. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1892-O Type 1 Reverse	MS64	PCGS 5596754	Choice	$785	Frosted Radiance, Light Pewter Toning, Near-Gem Original, Wicker Park Collection. GFRC welcomes a new consignor, the Wicker Park Collection, to the price list. This client is releasing a host of AU and Mint State Barber quarters and halves. Leading the way is this near-gem 1892 New Orleans issue with frosted luster and pewter-gold toning. Under a bright light, the obverse radiance is brilliant while the reverse is best described as steely with vibrant cartwheels. The overall strike is close to complete with only a touch of weakness at the wingtips and right claw. A near-gem, and if offering a bit stronger luster, would warrant a CAC stickering submission. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder.
	25C	1892-O Type 2 Reverse	AU58	PCGS 34961962	Choice	$475	New April 19! Type 2 Reverse, Choice Original, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Superb Eye Appeal, Pikes Peak Collection. 1892 brought a transition year for the Barber quarter reverse hub design with both Type 1 and Type 2 hubs employed circulation strikes in Philadelphia and New Orleans. For the Type 2 Reverse, the primary pickup point is the left wing end and its placement over UNIT(E)D and completely blocking that letter. This Pikes Peak release is a solid AU58 specimen with light rub on the cheek. This is a brilliant frosted example with thick mint bloom on both sides. Bright viewing is pleasing with nice cartwheel auction. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1893	PR66CAM	CACG 26926007	Gem	$2725	Superb Eye Appeal, Watery Mirrored Fields, Peripheral Copper-Gold, Port Matilda Collection. There are certain coins that cross my desk and immediately secure a "wow" reaction when first viewed. I'm calling a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for this superb 1893 proof Barber quarter to grab your attention as the coin in hand is much better than suggested by the images. The watery mirrors a brilliantly reflective without distractions under a bright light. Device are nicely frosted and provide the appropriate contrast with the mirrored fields to secure a cameo designation. A superior piece that has been conservatively graded. Housed in new CAC Grading holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.
	25C	1893	MS65	PCGS 29281964	Gem	$1295	Steely-Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Impressive Eye Appeal. Obverse rose patina is nicely framed by peripheral blues on this gem 1893 Barber quarter. This is yet another piece of eye candy purchased as part of a larger 50+ piece lot. This reverse is at least one grade point higher than certified as the rose, aquamarine, and gold ring toning is simply delightful and thoroughly pleasing. Steely-frosted luster is eye popping under a bright light along with dancing cartwheels. Strike is 99% complete with only the lowest arrow feathers not fully formed. Accurately priced for the overall eye appeal. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	25C	1893	MS65	NGC 960703009	Gem	$1050	Brilliant White Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, A No Question Gem, Wicker Park Collection. 1892 and 1893 Philadelphia struck quarters are equally valued as type coins given their substantial mintages. Type collectors should strike to locate example with brilliant luster, clean surfaces, and hammered strikes. This Wicker Park 1893 example is consistent with those requirements. The piece excels under angled lighting with sharp mint bloom, white radiance, and swirling cartwheels providing for a pleasing visual experience. All motifs are deeply impressed as a result of a hammered strike. A few micro contact points are seen on the bust which would preclude CAC approval. Priced accordingly and ready for a home in a Mint State type set. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder.
	25C	1895-O	MS64	NGC 3144802002	Choice	$1300	Gorgeous Bullseye Toning, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Near-Gem Original, Wicker Park Collection. By 1895, New Orleans Barber quarter mintage had begun to recede with only 2,816,000 struck and Mint State examples garnering elevated premiums. I'm a fan of original toning with this example being both beautiful and exhibiting steely-frosted luster. This lot offers moderate bullseye toning with center obverse rose surrounded by a rich aquamarine ring. The reverse is similarly toned with purple center hues and a bit less delineation between center and edge. The strike is boldly executed on both sides with sharp wingtips and tail feathers. GFRC images accurately illustrate the coloration and well preserved surfaces. The PCGS Price guide is $2,050 as reference. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	25C	1896-O	EF40	PCGS 33042220	Choice	$845	Better Early Date, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Natural Coin Gray. Though considered a much better date, GFRC has been fortunate in selling two 1896-O Mint State examples during 2023 and replacing those with this lovely CAC approved EF40. Surfaces are toned a natural coin gray with thicker "crust" on the obverse. The contrast between the darker gray fields and lighter devices is moderate but still described as partial circulated cameo. Strike is complete and impressive under a 10x. Fields are unabraded too. Overall, a premium example worthy of consideration for a circulated Barber quarter project. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1896-O	VF35	PCGS 3507230	Original	$340	Semi-Key Date, Steely Surfaces, Gray-Blue Toning, Lakeland Collection. Consignor Price Reduction. The first better New Orleans date in the Barber quarter series with a mintage of 1,484,000. Early Barber quarters circulated heavily in the southern states leaving limited choice survivors for today's collectors. This example features steely fields that are essentially unabraded. Obverse toning is mostly peripheral golden blue while the reverse is best described as golden with mottled gray highlights. Yet another fine offering from the Lakeland Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder.
	25C	1896-S	VG08	PCGS 09567706	Choice	$1550	Key Date, Natural Coin Gray, Choice Surfaces, Wayward Collection. With a "tiny" mintage of 188,039, the 1896-S date is rare in all grades and enjoys Barber quarter key date status. CAC has approved several hundred with most being the AG3 to G6 grades. This accurately graded VG08 exhibits unmolested surfaces that are toned a natural coin grade. Rims and fields are well preserved and unabraded. The CDN CAC priced guide is $1500 with only 27 approved. Beyond this grade, the pricing premium accelerates. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1897-S	VF20	PCGS 16897607	Choice	$895	Much Better Date, Natural Coin Gray Finish, Choice Overall, CAC Approval. A much better San Francisco issue with mintage of 542,229. This is a well preserved specimen with natural coin gray patina that is softened with hints of gold, especially at the stars and legend. Fields are surprisingly unabraded given the time in circulation. A perfect example for the grade that is consistent with CAC expectations. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1898-O	MS64	PCGS 11628074	Choice	$3150	Semi-Scarce Date, A Near-Gem, New Orleans Collection. The 1898 New Orleans quarter issue is a semi-scarce date with a limited number of certified example in MS64 or better. Full gems are very rare with near-gems being the last affordable grade for many collectors. This newly released New Orleans Collection duplicate display rose-gold and blue shades across the obverse while the reverse is untoned other than hints of gold at the borders. The originality is undeniable with granular frosted luster being pronounced under a bright light. Since the reverse is untoned, the cartwheel action is quite vibrant, though a bit muted on the obverse. It is reported that this date suffers from strike issue which is seen at the lower right eagle talons and arrow feathers. A strong example for an advanced collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	25C	1899	MS64	NGC 918857019	Choice	$550	Rich Frosted Radiance, Swirling Cartwheels, So Close to Full Gem, Wicker Park Collection. 1899 saw the Philadelphia struck Barber quarter mintage climb to over 12 millions pieces though the Mint State populations are surprisingly small in comparison. PCGS has certified only 194 example in MS63 through MS65. To illustrate how tiny that surviving Mint State population is, simple math indicates only 15 pieces for every million coins struck. The Wicker Park Barber release features this heavily frosted example at the MS64 level. Under a bright light, the radiance is notably brilliant with swirling cartwheels. The strike is hammered with high relief motifs which are intricately detailed. A field mark in the middle right obverse field holds this offering back from full gem status. Another eye appealing offering to consider at a fair offer price. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder.
	25C	1899	AU55	PCGS 32400022	Choice	$285	New April 19! Vibrant Cartwheels, Rich Frosty Luster, Hammered Strike, Pikes Peak Collection. If flashy frosted radiance and vibrant cartwheels are your numismatic passion, then this Pikes Peak 1899 Barber quarter belongs in a numismatic cabinet. An untoned example with hammered strike. Obverse devices including the stars are presented in high relief. Reverse tail feathers are completely impressed. Bright light viewing exposes tons of brilliant frosty luster from surfaces that are completely unabraded. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. Ex. Port Matilda Collection.

Choice original surfaces are immediately noted on this noteworthy Pikes Peak 1899 San Francisco quarter. The contrast between dark gray fields and lighter main device results in lovely circulated cameo appearance. Under a bright light, the fields shift to greenish hues with gold at the immediate borders. Accurately graded and housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. The CAC census stands at 32 examples in all grades. Previously part of the amazing Iowa Collection of strictly original and evenly matched Liberty Seated and Barber quarters.
	25C	1901	MS64	NGC 6834257015	Choice	$535	Steely-Frosted Luster, Pewter-Aquamarine Patina, Near-Gem Original, Wicker Park Collection. I continue to be amazed at the low Barber quarter populations in Mint State. Case in point is this 1901 example that is yet another release from the Wicker Park Collection. Though close to 9 million were struck, PCGS has only certified 176 in the collectible MS63 through MS65 grades. Above those grades, this common date is rare in superb Mint State. Immediately available is this near-gem with steely-frosted luster and continuous pewter aquamarine-gold toning. The surfaces are pristine and entirely unabraded. I could see this lot being purchased by an experienced numismatist and dipped towards securing a gem certification as the thick patina does mute some of the luster. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	25C	1901-O	VF25	PCGS 16200676	Choice	$700	Semi-Key Date, Natural Coin Gray, Well Preserved and Unabraded, CAC Approved. The little brother to the famous 1901-S key date, this 1901 New Orleans strike is perfectly preserved for the grade. Surfaces a completely choice and unabraded.

Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1903	EF45	PCGS 25197775	Choice	$150	New April 19! Choice Original, Light Gray Surfaces, Residual Cartwheel Luster, Conservative Grading, Pikes Peak Collection. Let's start the description with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as this lovely 1903 Barber half is not your typical EF45. One immediately sees an AU50 upon examination due to residual cartwheel luster that is quite pleasing. Surface are covered with a thin layer of gray-gold patination that validates the strict originality. Under 10x, the surfaces are unabraded.

Under a bright light, this 1905 Barber quarter exhibits steely reflective luster and moderately cartwheels. Speckled gray toning is more prevalent on the reverse while harboring peripheral golden hues on the obverse. There are a few wispy hairlines in the lower right obverse field during 10x inspection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder.
	25C	1908	PF64CAMEO	ANACS 2886064	Choice	$1055	Sharp Mirrors, Brilliant Reflectance, Superb Bright Light Eye Appeal, Lakeland Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. This PF64 Cameo Barber quarter is an unquestionable near-gem as sporting brilliant reflectance and multi-color toning. As usual for proof strike, angled viewing under a bright light is necessary to fully appreciate the mirrors and coloration. Let's start with the obverse. The in-hand grayish profile transitions to intermixed rose and blues along with golden hues are the periphery. The reverse presents gorgeous watery mirrors and a full cameo effect. The strike is hammered. With a 10x, a well hidden obverse line is seen below the ear otherwise the surfaces are unabraded. Please don't let the older ANACS blue label holder be a constraint for adding this near-gem to a collection.

Grading coins at the AU58/MS61 level can sometimes be more art than science, but it's clear in this case the graders were attracted by the radiating luster. Light, golden toning is highlighted by maroon rims, particularly on the obverse at stars 1 to 3. A few lines are evident on Liberty's cheek, but the story here is the mint bloom evident even in the usual problem areas of Liberty's cap, cheek, and bust truncation. Housed in a PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1996) old green holder with CAC approval.

	50C	1908	AU55	PCGS 43029337	Choice	$595	Choice Original, Ex. Blackpoint Collection. Consignor Buyout - Price Reduction. Emerald and sea-green patina fills both sides of this Philadelphia piece, along with crusty bits scattered on both sides. The survival of higher-grade business strikes of this era was somewhat a matter of chance, as most collectors of the period preferred to assemble runs of proof examples, which were sold by the Mint for a minimal markup. Conversely, the Mint today views the annual proof set as an opportunity to extract increasing sums from the collecting public. GFRC humbly suggests that classic coins such as the present example might represent a better collecting value. CAC notes 47 pieces in all grades, with a price guide value of $515 in AU55.
