Capped Bust
	1824/2	VG10	PCGS 28722936		Choice	$1475	Near-Gem Preservation, Gray with Peripheral Gold, Notable Eye Appeal. A single die pair struck only 16,000 quarters dated 1824. There are no Mint records of any deliveries during that year, therefore researchers believe the issue was included in the final deliver of 1823. CAC has approved 58 in all grades with most in lower circulated grades. This new example garners a near-gem quality rating was the surfaces are very well preserved while bright light coloration is superb. Natural coin gray toning provide a contrasting backdrop for peripheral golds. The reverse is quite special with its center rose hues. If you wish to own lower grade early quarters with the all important green bean, this coin is for you. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) holder with CAC approval.
	1831 Small Letters	EF40	PCGS 18153378	B-2	Choice	$385	Crusty Gray Toning, Choice Surfaces, Typical Strike. "Crusty" immediately comes to mind when first viewing this well preserved 1831 B-2 Capped Bust quarter. The obverse skin is quite thick and forms an undisturbed layer across devices and fields. The lighter toned reverse offers steely luster and golden overtones. There are a few well hidden field marks seen with a 10x. A solid piece that warrants a GFRC-Choice quality rating. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. A new buyback that returns to the price list.
	1833	MS64	PCGS 10717110	B-1	Gem	$11500	New September 21! Superb Mint State Type Candidate, Steely Reflectivity, Light Copper-Gold Patina, Gem Original. A thoroughly impressive 1833 B-1 quarter that would be ideal for an advanced early type set. I'm taken aback by the overall eye appeal and attractiveness. Under a bright light, the fields radiate a steely reflectance coupled with vibrant cartwheels that bellows unquestionable originality. Transparent copper-gold patina is consistent on the obverse with a thin green arc at the right periphery. Similar toning is present on the reverse with several mottled gray patches in the fields. The Browning-1 die pairing with a host of die rust clusters on both the obverse and reverse. Browning-1 is easily attributed via three vertical lines in the shield and die clash bars below the eye. This consigned lot is one of the finest Capped Bust quarters handled by GFRC since starting operations and warrants a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation to drive home that point. Four examples have been approved at the certified grade with a single MS66 finer. If seeking a numismatic present that is truly exceptional, please consider this lot. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	1834	AU55	NGC 6834318016	B-5	Choice	$1915	Rarest 1834 Die Pairting, Steely Luster, Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces, Lakeland Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. The just released Lakeland Collection lot is the rarest of the five 1834 die pairings per the Browning research (B-5) with an R5 rarity rating. As significant as the rarity is, the piece is a fine example with choice original surfaces. A bright light session exposes steely fields that are consistent on both sides, yet another validation of strict originality. Toning is a light gray with a mottled texture. This lot is ideal for those assembling a collection of rare die varieties across the early silver coinage spectrum. Housed in new large font NGC holder. The label captures the B-5 die variety attribution.
