	10C	1892	MS65	PCGS 38595429	Gem	$700	New March 31! Gem Original.. Granular, frosted luster imparts spinning cartwheels to this colorful, first year of issue piece. Maroon patina fills protected spaces at the rims, while the interior reveals a mix of grey and sea-green shade. After a 55-year run of Liberty Seated coinage, extending from 1836 to 1891, the Mint introduced a new, common design for the dime, quarter, and half dollar in this year. CAC has approved 245 coins total, 39 pieces in MS65, and 79 examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $468 in MS65. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4796
	10C	1892	MS62	PCGS 18721011	Choice	$200	First Year Type, Glowing Frosty Luster, Peripheral Copper-Gold, Choice Original. Swirling frosty luster along with attractive peripheral copper-gold toning are the highlights of this first year Barber dime strike. Conservatively graded and so pleasing. Worthy of a small premium due to above average eye appeal. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005 -2011) holder.
	10C	1892-O	MS65	PCGS 16104582	Gem	$1200	Gem Original, New Orleans Collection.. Rich color covers both sides of this New Orleans piece, with deep blue and slate patina evident on the obverse, while the reverse reveals russet color at rim, framing a silver and olive center. The New Orleans Barber dime series runs from 1892 to 1909, except for 1904, making for a 17-coin set. Mintages are considerably less than their Philadelphia counterparts and the pieces are more challenging to collect, especially in higher grades. PCGS notes 27 coins in MS65, with 16 pieces finer. The PCGS price guide value is $1,450. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. PCGS #4797.
	10C	1893	MS63	PCGS 39354068	Gem	$450	Superb Eye Appeal, Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Hammered Strike. A thoroughly pleasing 1893 Philly strike with rich frosted luster and swirling cartwheels that amplify the multi-color toning. Light obverse center rose is framed by an aquamarine ring with thin peripheral gold at the denticles. Varying shades of gold from yellow to copper-gold are seen on the reverse. A gem at the certified gray and guaranteed to illicit a few wows upon arrival. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	10C	1894-O	EF45	PCGS 14577491	Original	$525	Scarce Issue, Rose-Gray Patina, Near-Choice Original, New Orleans Collection. With a mintage of only 720,000, the 1894-O Barber dime has been considered to be one of the scarcer issues in the series. This newly released New Orleans Collection example has thick rose-gray patina on the obverse and lighter toning on the reverse. Several hairlines on the check preclude a Choice quality rating. Purchased January 2008 and now returning to the market as a "fresh" lot. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	10C	1896	PR64CAM	PCGS 36911463	Choice	$900	New March 31! 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	MS63	ANACS 4179137	Choice	$250	New March 17! Repunched Date, Brilliant White Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Flynn Plate Coin. Blast white luster offers frosted textures while the cartwheels are vibrant on this choice 1897 Barber dime. Surfaces are pristine and entirely unabraded. The repunching below the 8 digit is big and bold under 10x. If pursuing major Barber die varieties, this lot might be for you. Housed in ANACS yellow label holder with RPD-001 FLYNN PLATE COIN pedigree on the label.
	10C	1898	MS64	NGC 6694961013	Choice	$345	New April 9! Gorgeous Eye Appeal, Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels. A pretty 1898 Barber dime that should appeal to those that enjoy rich frosted luster and colorful peripheral toning. This little silver piece excels under a bright light as the swirling cartwheels come out to play. GFRC images accurately capture the coloration. All that is needed is your imagination for the luster. Trust me on this piece. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	10C	1898-O	MS65	PCGS 37504943	Gem	$2950	New March 10! Gem Original, New Orleans Collection.. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Brilliant centers reveal natural silver color and are framed by russet patina at the rims, more heavily on the obverse. The overall eye appeal is strong and the GFRC Gem rating is warranted. Die erosion is evident in ONE DIME, and the reverse cracks clearly indicate a deteriorating die. PCGS has certified 290 coins, but the situation is more challenging when one considers strict originality. CAC notes 36 pieces total, with six coins in MS65 and six examples finer. CAC assigns a value of $3,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4816.
	10C	1899	PF63	NGC 1809004012	Gem	$550	New March 28! Watery Mirrors, Pristine Surfaces, Gem Original. Let's start the description for this 1899 proof Barber dime with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Yet another release from a Texas bank box that has been off the market for several decades. A GFRC-Gem quality rating has been assigned as the watery mirrors are pristine and completely hairline free which is atypical given today's inflated grading standards. Under a bright light, the reflective radiance is bold and pleasing. The GFRC images leave a bit to be desired in terms of illustrating the overall eye appeal. This lot has been submitted to CAC but failed to sticker. It is certainly a borderline example and will please the new owner. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder. Please note that the holder has a few wispy hairlines on the plastic that do appear on the images.
	10C	1899-O	MS66	PCGS 06666225	Gem	$6500	New March 10! Gem Original, Exceptional Pedigree, New Orleans Collection.. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Warm rose, maroon, and tan patina combine atop the surfaces of this New Orleans piece, with deeper shades evident in the protected areas. The strike is sharp and fully defines the wreath elements. This piece is well advanced in the CAC census, which indicates a low population, just 20 pieces, for the entire issue. At the upper end, CAC reports three coins in MS66 and only two examples finer, both MS67. The Norweb pedigree (Bowers & Merena, October 1987, lot 599) is confirmed by a toning mark at K5 on the reverse rim. The piece realized $3,960 at the Norweb sale, a strong price for the time. The current CAC price guide value is $7,200. This piece is a highlight of the present sale and will draw significant buyer interest. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval and Norweb/Simpson pedigree listed on the label. PCGS #4819.
	10C	1899-S	MS62	NGC 619168004	Choice	$500	New March 28! Better San Francisco Date, Frosted Luster, Active Cartwheels, Choice Overall. The 1899 San Francisco Barber dime issue is a better date in Mint State due to limited certified populations. This final lot from the Texas bank box release presents granular frosted luster along with spinning cartwheels. With a 10x, a long die crack through the bottom of the base is noted. Eye appeal is of a high grade though faint slide marks are noted on the cheek and consistent with the certified grade. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder.
	10C	1901-S	AU53	PCGS 44114354	Choice	$1495	Popular Low Mintage Date, Light Gold, Frosted Luster, CAC Approved. 1901-S Barber dimes enjoy ongoing popularity since being well recognized low mintage date (593,022) and remains in high demand. This 2023 Pittsburgh ANA purchase is unquestionably original with lightly crusted gold hues. Bright light luster has a "creamy" frosted texture that I find particularly attractive. Speckled copper-gold at the obverse periphery adds to the charm. This date in available in the lower circulated grades but becomes scarce in AU or better when fully choice and CAC approved. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
	10C	1902	PR63	PCGS 41007744	Choice	$600	New March 31! Choice Original, Proof Strike.. Moderate mirrors, consistent with the PR63 guide, reveal light gold color on both sides, decorated by a liberal splash of maroon patina. A few lines are evident at the neck and cheek. Proof coinage at the turn of the century was produced to a high standard, and the razor sharp detail of this example is consistent with contemporary practice. The CAC census notes 41 coins total, eight pieces in PR63, and 32 examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $585. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4886
	10C	1903	PR64	PCGS 82997413	Gem	$900	New March 31! 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	1904-S	AU58	PCGS 24104152	Choice	HOLD $1425	New April 10! Very Scace and Challenging CAC Approved, None Finer Through MS64. GFRC Price Reduction. 1904 San Francisco strikes are scarce due to low mintage and heavy circulation up through the Depression Era. In Mint State, none are CAC approved until the MS64 or better level. The lone three CAC approved AU58s are the only alternatives for those seeking a choice specimen at fair value. This fresh offering is one of the three AU58s with green bean approval. Fields exhibit steely surfaces that are entirely without abrasions. Strike is thoroughly executed on both sides with the reverse being quite impressive in terms of minute wreath details. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2011-2013) holder with CAC approval.
	10C	1905-O	MS62	NGC 565336003	Choice	HOLD $365	New March 18! 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	1906-D	MS64	PCGS 39399499	Choice	$1000	New March 31! Near-Gem Original.. Steely, frosty luster creates a vibrant cartwheel, and the flash is immediately evident. A crescent of blue-green patina fills the obverse rim, to the right of Liberty, while the reverse is more lightly shaded with russet color outside the wreath. This piece offers a pleasing combination of visual “pop” and color and represents an attractive value at the stated price point. CAC has approved 36 pieces in all grades, 11 coins in MS64, and 18 examples in all higher grades combined. The CAC price guide value is $812. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4839
	10C	1909	MS65	NGC 3312073005	Gem	$425	Granular Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Pristine Surfaces. This is a gem 1909 Barber dime with just struck natural surfaces and granular frosted luster. Bright light review exposes frosted luster and swirling cartwheels along with a touch of gold toning, mostly on the obverse. Surfaces are pristine and entirely blemish free while the strike is complete. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	10C	1909-O	MS66	PCGS 50171624	Gem	$2650	New March 10! Gem Original, New Orleans Collection.. Consignor Pricing Reduction. This GFRC-rated Gem example reveals evergreen patina at the rims, while the centers exhibit rose and gold color throughout. The strong luster highlights the pleasing color to full effect, and the overall flash is exceptional. Separated from the finest known by only a point, this piece offers nearly the same level of aesthetic appeal at a fraction of the price. PCGS notes 27 coins in MS66, with four pieces finer, all in MS67. The PCGS price guide value is $3,250 in MS66, rising to $16,000 in MS67. While bragging rights are well and good, the $12,750 premium required to attain “finest known” status might better be allocated toward other numismatic endeavors! Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.3 (2005) holder. PCGS #4852.
	10C	1914	MS66+	PCGS 37730409	Gem	$1350	New March 31! Gem Original.. Exceptionally flashy surfaces reveal a “luster bomb” as one flips this piece under a light. Largely untoned surfaces reveal bits of light russet color here and there, but the strongest impression is the overall “pop.” The obverse exhibits vertical die polish, as struck. CAC notes 131 pieces in all grades, 30 coins in MS66, and four examples finer, all in MS67. The CAC price guide value is $910 in MS66 and $4,120 in MS67. “Pricing the plus” can be more art than science, but, by way of reference, the PCGS price guide indicates a value of $875 in MS66, advancing to $1,800 in MS66+ and $4,000 in MS67. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4865
	10C	1916	MS65	PCGS 47527664	Gem	$495	New March 31! Gem Original..

Strike is typical, with a few of the corn kernels blending together. CAC has graded 158 coins total, 30 examples in MS65, and 38 examples in higher grades. The CAC price guide value is $468. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4870
	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	MS62	PCGS 32838915	Choice	$375	Splendid Eye Appeal, Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Perfect for Type. The rollout of ra freshly purchased 54 lot deal included this choice original 1892 Barber quarter. Both sides radiate swirling cartwheels and granular frosted luster. Peripheral copper coin and a thin blue arc nicely frame the lighter toned centers. Strike is completely executed with the lower reverse motifs being intricately defined. Faint right obverse field abrasions account for the technical grading though eye appeal is of a higher grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	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	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	MS64	PCGS 81186174	Gem	HOLD $850	New April 5! Exceptional Presentation, Steely-Frosted Luster, Gorgeous Peripheral Toning, What a Type Coin. This 1893 Barber quarter is yet another of the recent purchases to secure a JUST BUY IT NOW presentation. The reasons are hopefully obvious from the images. Luster falls into the steely-frosted category while the radiance explodes under angled lighting. Classic copper-gold and sky blue toning leads to a gorgeous presentation on both sides. Strike is hammered with intricately detailed eagle tail feathers and the right claw. Surfaces are unabraded with some light die clashing on the reverse. This lot was not submitted to CAC as I've had little luck for stickering coins with this type of brilliant luster and colorful toning. A fantastic addition as a type coin given the exceptional eye appeal. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	25C	1894-O	AU55	PCGS 31330426	Choice	$435	Choice Original, Island City Collection.. Gold and grey fields host central devices that are somewhat lighter, with original mint bloom evident in the protected areas. The shading of this well-detailed example is even with no obtrusive spots or stains. The CAC population is 35 coins across all grades. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder (2014-2015) with CAC approval. Last sold November 2020 as part of the GFRC Online Auctions early E-Bid sales.
	25C	1895	MS65	PCGS 41560672	Gem	$1450	New March 17! Superb Eye Appeal, Granular Frosted Luster, Shimmering Cartwheels, Hammered Strike. Granular frosted luster is one of the several highlight for this eye appealing 1895 Barber quarter. Under a bright light, the luster presents a sparkling texture along with shimmering cartwheels. Orange-gold and aquamarine are the primary obverse colors while the reverse is a light gold. Fully defined reverse motifs, including intricately detailed tail feathers and claws, are consistent with a hammered strike. If searching for an exceptional Barber type coin, this lot certainly warrants consideration. Yes, this one has been to CAC without approval. My expectations were high for this lot as quite nice. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder.
	25C	1896-O	EF45	PCGS 20508348	Choice	$950	Choice Original, Island City Collection.. Medium silver and gray surfaces reveal crusty bits on both sides, within the stars and legend. The portrait of Liberty and the adjacent fields exhibit hints of rose patina while the reverse bears a light wash of smoky color. The 1896-O issue is a better date, overlooked in comparison to the 1896-S, but still with a pricing profile significantly elevated above the Philadelphia issue of this year. CAC has graded 49 coins total, with 12 pieces in AU and nine examples at the Mint State level. The CAC price guide value is $936. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	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	$420	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-O	VF25	PCGS 28409819	Choice	$525	Natural Crusty Gray, Pleasing Surfaces, Better Barber Date, CAC Approved. A better Barber quarter New Orleans date at the mid-circulated grade level that is affordable just so choice. Surfaces are toned a natural gray with consistent "crust" throughout the surfaces. Dirt is seen at several stars as further validation of the originality. Strike is complete though surfaces have been worn. Overall, a premium example worthy of consideration for a circulated Barber quarter project. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	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	VF25	PCGS 45610206	Choice	$300	Choice Original, Island City Collection.. This affordable New Orleans piece exhibits coin-grey surfaces with crusty outlines of the design devices. High points are lighter, and the contrast between the central figures and fields is pleasing. One need not be a millionaire to be a numismatic connoisseur – within any grade level there are exceptional examples, and then there is everything else. This piece clearly qualifies as the former. The CAC census notes 46 coins in all grades and assigns a value of $218 in VF25. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1898-S	AU53	PCGS 18585123	Choice	$725	Choice Original, Island City Collection.. The CAC populations for certain issues in the Barber quarter series are not yet fully appreciated, and, in this case, CAC has graded only 23 coins in all grades. While the coin market has fully embraced the concept of absolute rarity, it has not yet completely understood that many issues are scarce when located with original surfaces. Once this piece is acquired, finding another CAC-approved example for sale will not be a trivial exercise. This coin reveals uniform silver-gray surfaces with a light mist of coffee patina atop the obverse, while residual luster is easily evident in the protected areas. The CAC price guide value is $608 in AU53. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1900-O Type 3 Obverse/Reverse	MS65	PCGS 25303441	Gem	$3000	New April 7! Superb Eye Appeal, A Frosted Gem, New Orleans Collection.. I'm often amazed at the Mint State survival rates presented by the Barber coinage series. Nerly all of the issues went into circulation and remained there until well worn. I'm excited about this New Orleans Collection release given its gem certification and superb eye appeal. The GFRC images only hint at the vibrant frosted radiance and bold toning colors that appear under a bright light. Center copper shades are surrounded by blues, aquamarine, and yellow-gold on the obverse with a higher predominance of copper on the reverse. There is strike weakness on the reverse and faint roller lines on the obverse as made. An unquestionable gem with few peers reaching the market at this grade level.

	25C	1901	MS62	PCGS 33130322	Choice	$425	Choice Original, Island City Collection.. Smoky gray patina fills both sides, with heavier splashes of color evident in the stars and legend. The medium skin is unquestionably original, as hairline-free fields reveal antique surfaces imparted only by the hands of time. This is not a rare date, making high-grade examples more affordable, with a CAC-assigned value of $406. CAC has approved only 46 pieces in all grades, with 29 coins finer. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1902-O	AU53	PCGS 16121271	Choice	$350	Choice Original, Island City Collection..

Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.

The star centers are well defined, and the eagle feathers reveal strong detail. CAC notes 42 pieces total, with 13 coins finder. The CAC guide value is $1,190. The Barber quarter series numbers 74 pieces total, not an insignificant commitment, but one might also consider collecting a limited portion of the set, such as the 18 New Orleans pieces, which were struck each year from 1892 until 1909. In either case, the current offering of Island Lake Barber quarters presents an excellent opportunity to begin such a collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1903-S	MS64	PCGS 47908626	Choice	$1950	Near-Gem Original, Island City Collection.. This San Francisco piece exhibits cloudy tan patina at the rims, most heavily among the stars and legend. Centers are brilliant, leading toward the toned periphery. Collectors of this era paid less attention to mintmarks, with the result that certain branch Mint pieces are today challenging, especially in high grades. Introduction of coin boards in the 1930s created public realization that issues such as the 1901 quarter were not in the same class as the 1901-S. The PCGS census notes 238 coins total, 27 pieces in MS64, and 29 examples finer. The PCGS guide value is $2,250. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder. PCGS #5636.

	25C	1904-O	AU55	PCGS 12996069	Choice	$850	Near-Gem Original, Island City Collection.. Light gold, rose, and blue shades create an antique finish on this original 1904-O quarter, while the stars and legends exhibit a touch of crust. This is one of the scarcer New Orleans issues in the Barber quarter series, and often comes with some striking weakness, as is seen here with a couple flat stars. A few light, horizontal lines are seen in the portrait, but the luster and toning are attractive, and the eye appeal is strong. CAC has certified five AU58s and just 17 coins in all Mint State grades combined. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. Previously sold by GFRC as part of the Labelman87 Sale held during September 2019.

Gold and russet centers lead toward well-defined bands of blue-green patina at the rims, and the eye appeal is exceptional. A few of the obverse high points are marked by silver color while the reverse is more evenly toned overall. Concentric rings of color are perhaps the most favored scheme among toning enthusiasts, and the aesthetic charm is immediately apparent. Note, a few horizontal lines on the cheek are on the coin, not on the holder. The CAC census notes 43 coins total, with five pieces at MS64 and 12 coins finer. The CAC price guide value is $3,000 and GFRC expects significant buyer interest at this level. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.
	25C	1908-S	AU58	PCGS 84704601	Choice	$1250	Choice Original, Island City Collection.. The 1908-S is a better issue within the Barber quarter series, with less than a million pieces struck. Even low-grade examples are priced at levels significantly above type-coin status, and the pricing widens as grade increases. This example exhibits silver central devices set atop rich ebony and tan fields. Toning migrates to the rim on the obverse while the reverse patination is scattered throughout. The CAC population is 50 coins total, with 23 of these at the Mint State level. The CAC guide value is $1,190. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

Both sides are toned with center rose and peripheral blues. Strike is a tad soft at the centers. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

This 1911 San Francisco Barber date sports a mintage of slightly under one million pieces. In recognition of the heavy circulation of small denomination coinage during the Great Depression, few survived choice. PCGS has only certified 19 examples at the AU58 grade level while the CAC approved total is a scant four pieces. That is s a miniscule fraction of the mintage.

	25C	1913-S	VG10	PCGS 22113967	Choice	$3750	Choice Original, Island City Collection.. The 1896, 1901, and 1913 San Francisco issues are well-known as the keys to the Barber quarter set, with the 1913-S placed firmly in the middle of the group in terms of rarity. The present coin is near-perfect for the grade, with smooth surfaces and even color. High points exhibit coin-grey patina while the fields and recessed points reveal deeper slate shades. The figure of Liberty is neatly outlined, and the overall eye appeal is strong for a VG example. CAC has approved 269 pieces total, of which 194 examples are at VG8 or less. For the most part, Barber quarters were either quickly saved or quickly spent, with the result that CAC has not certified even a single piece in the EF or AU range.

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.

Evaluating proofs strikes is typically accomplished by GFRC with two parameters, mirror reflectance and hairlines. Most proofs also require a bright light to fully appreciate the toning portrait. This lot excels on all parameters as the mirrors expose the predominance of aquamarine-blue, gold, and rose colors that are very eye appealing. I'm tough on hairlines and was pleasantly surprise to find absolutely no hairlines in the fields, rather a few faint rub lines on the check that are not particular to a proof strike. Worthy of its GFRC-Gem quality rating along with a conservative reserve to stimulate bidding. CAC notes 26 approved in all grades with not a single cameo meeting criteria. This is the lone example approved at the certified grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6532
