	Indian	1859	MS63	PCGS 32091454		Choice	$1050	One Year Type Coin, Reddish Tan-Gold, Bold Strike, Near-Gem. A difficult first and one year type issue that leads off the important Indian Head cent series. Due to a design hub modification and a shield added to the reverse in 1860, the 1859 issue is a one-year-only type coin with incremental demand. A well struck example with boldly defined motifs. Luster is on a continuum between steely and reflective as the fields are lightly mirrored. Coloration is best described as a reddish tan-gold.

This offered example contains a substantial amount of red coloration when subjected to a bright light. Frosted luster and moderate cartwheels are also eivdent. A choice example for an Indian cent date set without breaking the budget. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

A choice original 1838 New Orleans strike with old time rose-gray patina that is expected for the date. The F-102 die pairing features an eroded obverse die since a single die was employed to strike the entire 1838-O mintage. During the F-102 die pairing, the obverse is eroded with a loss of major device details as seen on this example. Blemishes are limited to several ancient field lines that did not bother CAC.

I've seen few 1839-O F-109 examples in any grade during my two decades plus of working with Seated dimes. The F-109 variety results from the pairing of "Huge O" obverse with another Small O reverse; its origins are not well understood to this day. The reverse exhibits a small O mintmark but from a different style punch fr0m previously documented dies of that year. The F-109 die pairing is the last use of the "Huge O" obverse die as most of the lower devices are effaced at this point. The Tenafly Collection presents a wonderfully original VG10 offering with CAC approval. Is this the only known F-109 with CAC green bean? I believe so. GFRC images provide an accurate illustration. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. PCGS #537694.

With Drapery, Choice Original, Tenafly Collection.. 1840 With Drapery dimes are always in demand due to much lower availability than earlier No Drapery counterparts.

This VF25 graded example is well preserved after spending a fair amount of time in circulation. Fields are toned a natural gray while wear points have much lighter coloring. The result is circulated cameo eye appeal for those who are so inclined. Surfaces are unabraded, another important factor contributing to overall eye appeal. The CAC price guide is $460 as reference.

	Seated	1860	PR65+CAM	PCGS 25619936	F-101	Gem	$3250	New September 2! Superb Gem Type 1 Obverse Presentation, Brilliant Reflective Mirrors, Tenafly Collection.. What a pleasure to be again offering this magnificent 1860 proof strike that originated from the Washington State Collection. 1860 brought 1,000 proof strike with the newly engraved and hubbed Type 1 obverse design per Longacre-Paquet. The design proved to be unpopular due to rapid wear of the high points and a flat overall appearance. When examining this piece, one of the finer extant, the intricate device details become apparent. I promptly noted that Liberty's legs and breasts are quite elevated as compared to the low relief head details. Fields are brilliant reflective and surround frosted motifs. The Cameo eye appeal is thoroughly pleasing. If attempting to build a Liberty Seated dime proof set collection (1856-1891), this example will set the bar for premium quality and warrants a strong bid.

If there is one thing I've learned during the submission of a personal Liberty Seated dime collection to CAC, it is that CAC is very demanding on proof strikes. Any high end Cameo proof with a green bean should be promptly considered. CAC has approved only seven 1865 Cameo proof dimes in the PR64 through PR66 grade range. Populations and sales records are close to non-existent, leading to difficulties with estimating values with any credibility. This Tenafly Collection offering is tied for second finest with one better. Brilliant mirrors are incredibly reflective under a bright light. Fields are unabraded and thoroughly pleasing.

In his Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Dimes, Greer indicates that two F-101a examples were seen with a large depression at the lower left of the shield. To date, no explanation has been offered for this anomaly but a filled die with foreign substance would be a logical hypothesis. Much to my surprise, there is a choice original F-101a example in the Tenafly Collection. Even without the rare die state, this 1865-S dime is highly desirable. Surfaces are toned a natural light gray with no abrasions. Strike is typical to slightly better for the F-101 die pair. It would be difficult to locate a finer example at the VF25 grade level.

Few 1866 dimes went into circulation and remained there for extended periods leading to a high rarity status when found this optimally worn. Greer estimates the rarity to be R6 at the G/VG graded in his Guidebook on the series. Worthy of a gem quality rating and a place in an advanced Liberty Seated dime collection.

Carson City dimes dated 1875 through 1877 are fairly plentiful, but the initial 1871 through 1874 issues from the legendary Old West facility are unquestionably rare. Many survivors will be encountered with granular surfaces or worse, obvious porosity. It is known that the planchet alloy was not to the required 90%:10% Silver: Copper alloy since copper was a scarce metal in the southwest. As a result, the lack of copper enabled a higher probability for rapid corrosion and environmental damage. This choice original stone-gray and aquamarine specimen has pleasing surfaces aside from a single thin mark to the left of the date at the denticles. LIBERTY is sharper than would be expected for the assigned VF25 grade. The CAC census is a meager 17 examples in all grades with this example being the lone approved between F12 and EF40, a notable gap when reserve price setting is considered.

	Seated	1873 No Arrows, Open 3	MS63	PCGS 85794205	F-101	Choice	$2350	New September 2! Open 3, Choice Original, Massachusetts Collection.. After researching and selling Liberty Seated dimes going on 35 years, there are notable conclusions. One is that the 1873 No Arrows Open 3 date continues to be underrated for its overall scarcity. It just does not garner an respect and is the Rodney Dangerfield of the dime series. The PCGS and CDN price guides are much too conservative given that only 18 are stickered with four better and the finest MS65 Fortin specimen realizing $13,500 at auction. This F-101 example exhibits thick frosted luster and a complete strike. Light gold patina is evident on both sides. Circular die cracks throughout the wreath exactly match those for the F-101 Liberty Seated dime die variety plate coin. This near-gem example offers old time eye appeal at a fair reserve.

This is a fully struck example with complete ribbon detail. F-101, with the thin-style mintmark. Just two die pairs were used to produce nearly half a million circulation strikes in this year. CAC notes 25 pieces total, with three coins finer, the highest at MS66. The CAC value in MS64 is $3,820 and advances to $10,500 in MS65. The bidders will decide how closely to approach the MS65 price (this coin previously sold at $5,500 in the Branch Mint Collection sale), but in any case, this piece presents a compelling combination of aesthetic appeal and exceptional technical grade, separated from finest known status by only a point and a half.

This exceptional example presents powerful watery radiance from undisturbed fields. Angled lighting showcases a classic proof presentation with center rose and peripheral sky-blue. What a color contrast as the reverse center is toned a blended rose-aquamarine then surrounded with rose-gold at the borders. A consistent and fully executed strike further enhances the eye appeal. The CAC census is limited to 25 examples stickered without a Cameo designation and one has to wonder why PCGS withheld this designation.

	Seated	1877 Type 1 Reverse	MS65+	PCGS 0'2106117	Unlisted	Gem	HOLD $1100	New September 2! Underrated Grade, Gem Original, Massachusetts Collection.. Though 1877 Philadelphia dimes were struck to the tune of 7,310,000, full gem examples are quite scarce and underrated. This MS65+ specimen was previously sold into the Massachusetts Collection after a stint in the Fortin reference collection. This date sells for a fraction of its Carson City counterpart but with 4x-5x lower populations. This lovely gem will certainly please the advanced collector. Surfaces are toned aquamarine gold with steely background fields and sharp frosted reflectance. Strike is about as good as it gets for the With Legend design as the motifs are sharp and detailed. This was a new Type 1 Reverse die variety, during GFRC inventory visit, which is not surprising given the high mintage and tedious effort to research this type of date. The reserve is nicely position between the CAC MS65 ($1000) and MS66 ($1300) price guide values. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4682.

A speckled natural gray patina overlays the obverse while the reverse is a lighter uniform gray with gold and rose shades appearing under angled lighting. The surfaces are meticulously preserved too! Now let's move on to the importance of this die pairing in terms of rarity. The F-111 variety is the last of the three different reverse die pairings (F-109, F-110, F-111) with Obverse 7. Reverse C, which was previously paired with the F-103 obverse, shows die wear and erosion at the denticles. There is considerable weakness in the lower left ribbon end and wreath leaves. The reverse die may have been polished after the F-103 die pairing. This is only the fourth F-111 example handled by GFRC with the next finest being a PCGS MS62 CAC example sold during May 2018. Clearly, the finest known F-111 extant. CAC has approved only 22 examples in all grades with three finer.

Osprey collection (GFRC, June 2021), at $8,500. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6234.

Production of silver coinage began falling in 1850, as increasing supplies of gold caused an imbalance in the valuation of silver. Congress corrected the problem only with the Coinage Act of 1853, leaving the Mint to coin a decreasing supply of silver bullion in the intervening years. This low-mintage piece exhibits liberal copper and aqua patina, and the overall eye appeal merits the GFRC Gem designation. Ample luster imparts slight reflectivity to the surfaces.

The strike is strong, with only star 7 soft, while the reverse is hammered throughout. CAC has approved 21 coins total, including three at the MS65 level, and none higher.

Perfectly original and unmolested gem silver coinage can present challenging toning patterns to the GFRC camera. This gorgeous 1855 New Orleans strike, previoulsy from the Spring Branch Collection, was recognition as being a difficult lot to photograph.

WB-14, with the date sloping upward and the mintmark tilted to the left. Production in this year was ample, and Bill Bugert identifies 41 die marriages for the issue.

The situation at PCGS is similarly challenging, with eight grading events in MS64 and none finer. The CAC price guide is $9,750, while PCGS indicates a value of $18,500.

As PCGS Coin Facts indicates, the “market velocity” of the 1860-S half in MS63/MS64 grades is less than one piece per year. In this case, the sale of this same coin in 2023 represents the most important data point. Ex. Regency Auction 61 (Legend, November 2023), lot 131, realized $14,687.50. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6301.

Under a bright light, both sides are partially mirrored with eye catching radiance. The coloration is a silver-gray. This lot belongs in an advanced numismatic cabinet as heads and shoulders above the many survivors being offered in today's market. The CAC census is currently 17 pieces with only two finer. The CDN CAC guide is $8,600 as reference. This lot is worthy of the reserve and will be a highlight of a Civil War era collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval. The label reads CSA Scott Restrike.
	Seated	1862-S	AU53	PCGS 5716256	WB-5	Choice	HOLD $800	New August 27! Low CAC Population, Choice Original, Saw Mill Run, Collection. Pleasing, frosty luster is more abundant than the images might suggest. Capturing three-dimensional aspects with a single image is an art, and it is fair to observe that most GFRC clients are pleasantly surprised when comparing the actual coin in hand to the image. Both sides of this San Francisco piece exhibit underlying silver patina with bits of dirt scattered in the recessed areas. The obverse further admits light russet color, particularly toward the rim. The CAC census notes 28 pieces in all grades, with six uncirculated examples. CACG has holdered an incremental 10 pieces in all grades for reference. Well-struck, with a few flat stars, while the claw and feather detail is more complete. The low CAC population cannot be emphasized enough – original examples of Liberty Seated coinage can be elusive, and careful examination of the CAC census will reveal numerous opportunities for the astute collector. Ex. Seal Beach and Oregon Beaver Collections with prior records in the Sales Archive. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1863	MS64	PCGS 13565456	WB-7	Choice	$5000	Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. The scarcity of Seated coinage with original surfaces has long been known to specialists, but the CAC census, now in its seventeenth year, offers quantitative proof of the situation. This Civil War-dated half dollar is a typical example, with only 26 pieces reported by CAC across all grades. Even gray and olive surfaces host silver patches in the stars and legend, with additional shades of blue-gray at the rims and protected areas. Luster is frosty, with swirling cartwheels. Nicely struck, as is the rule for 1863 halves, with only a touch of softness in the eagle’s left leg. This is a better Philadelphia date, with just over half a million pieces struck. CAC has certified two pieces in MS64 and five finer examples. The CAC price guide value is $2,750. The PCGS price guide weighs in at $3,000, but the more controlling point is the complete lack of recent sales, with PCGS Coin Facts listing no sales since 2013. The previous GFRC sale is more in line with current values. Ex. GFRC (Sunset Collection, March 2021), realized $5,275. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6309.
	Seated	1864-S	VF35	CACG 747246507	WB-3	Choice	$500	New September 2! Antique Grey Presentation, Choice Original, Saw Mill Run Collection. Wholesome and perfectly original best describe this premium 1864 San Francisco struck half courtesy of the Saw Mill Run Collection. Undisturbed steely fields are layered with antique grade shades including ebony colored "dirt" surrounding the motifs. The CACG population is currently 7 with a price guide estimate of fair value at $470. Housed in new CACG holder and graded to strict standards employed for CAC stickering approval. PCGS #6312.
	Seated	1868-S	MS64+	PCGS 34815113	WB-8	Choice	$7000	Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Silver-gray centers lead toward subtle rose and gold patina at the rims, which exhibit scattered crust on both sides. Frosty luster is ample for the grade, and a light source immediately activates the near-Gem flash. WB-8, with recut stars to the left and a small mintmark. This is an early die state without advanced die cracks. Stars to the left are soft, while the reverse detail is excellent throughout. CAC has approved 29 examples, with three coins in MS64 and a single piece finer, at MS65. PCGS notes two coins in MS65 and one example finer at MS66. The CAC price guide indicates a value of $6,600 in MS64 and $15,100 in MS65. Ex. Heritage (October 2018, lot 3055), at $5,040. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6324.
	Seated	1869	MS64	PCGS 15386454	WB-1	Choice	$5500	Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Frosty surfaces reveal traces of smoky patina at the rims of this example, but the first impression is that of a lustrous, untoned piece. A strong strike delivers textured stars and near complete detail in the feathers and claws. WB-1, with a low date. The 9 is centered above two dentils. Western silver discoveries had not yet reached the Philadelphia Mint, and production remained under a million pieces in this year, elevating this issue beyond a “type coin” pricing profile. This example further claims near-finest known status at CAC, which notes 47 pieces total, five coins in MS64, and two examples higher. The CAC price guide is $4,500. Ex. Boylston (Legend, Regency Auction 57, February 2023), lot 189, realized $5,405. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6325.
	Seated	1870	MS65+	PCGS 50205117	WB-7	Gem	$12500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Satiny luster flows from brilliant centers, leading toward attractive rim toning with blue-green and russet patina evident in the stars and legend. The eye appeal is undeniable, and it is hard to imagine a more aesthetically pleasing piece for the grade. The strike is exceptional, with complete detail throughout. WB-7, with a reverse die lump between W and E. The 1870 half is a somewhat scarcer issue in the series, with less than a million pieces struck, but in this case the visual “pop” is the controlling factor, and the next owner will be justifiably proud. CAC has certified 32 pieces, with two coins in MS65 and none finer. PCGS has approved only one higher example, at MS67. The CAC guide value is $10,500. This coin is not inexpensive, but the combination of condition census placement and superb in-hand appeal is hard to beat. Ex. Heritage (August 2023, lot 3595), realized $12,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6327.
	Seated	1871	AU58	NGC Fatty 157590005	WB-8	Gem	HOLD $850	New September 17! Gem Original, Sooner Collection. A JUST BUY IT NOW offering from the Sooner Collection with fresh CAC green bean. Housed in a pristine NGC Gen 4 (1989-1991) holder with CAC approval. Full description shortly.
	Seated	1871-S	MS64	PCGS 36683754	WB-8	Gem	$4250	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. This is an exceptionally original piece, and the overall appeal is not fully conveyed by the images. Smoky gray and olive patina fills the protected areas, while the silver fields reveal hair-line free, antique surfaces. Luster is consistent with the grade and readily rotates through the medium skin. This piece sold at a premium to the guide value in the 2018, and a quick inspection under a glass quickly justifies the “push” necessary to acquire a premium quality example. WB-8, with a centered date and small, wide mintmark slightly tilted to the right. CAC notes 51 coins total, with a single piece in MS64 (the present offering) and four examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $2,850. Ex. GFRC (December 2018), at $4,400. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6332.
	Seated	1872	MS65+	PCGS 81108530	WB-6	Gem	$9500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Blazing surfaces reveal hints of maroon color at the rim, and the overall flash of this GFRC rated-Gem example is considerable. Fully brilliant fields exhibit only a few ticks, consistent with the grade. Abundant luster is frosty, with some reflectivity evident as the coin is tilted. The strike is complete, with strong details on both sides. WB-6, with the date punched noticeably to the right. Collecting is always a matter of taste – some numismatists prefer colorful silver coins while others are fanatics about strong strikes. The visual “pop” of the present offering will especially appeal to those for whom luster is the primary attribute of interest. CAC has certified 30 coins in all grades, two pieces in MS65, and two example finer, both in MS66. The CAC price guide is $8,250, advancing to $12,000 in MS66. Ex. Boylston (Legend, Regency Auction 44, April 2021), lot 57, realized $9,106.25. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6333.
	Seated	1872-S	MS65	PCGS 81939446	WB-1	Gem	$20000	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. This wildly reflective half is a multi-colored headlight and reveals a full spectrum of color atop the prooflike surfaces. A golden obverse skin hosts blue-green and russet shades while the reverse exhibits rings of violet and blue, leading to gold rims. The obverse represents the very definition of "skin," which has the appearance of a foil that one might peel back. Apart from a few light marks in the right obverse field, the surfaces are near-perfect. WB-1, with the 1 in the date centered over three dentils, while the mintmark is small and wide. A strong strike completely defines the stars. PCGS reports three examples in MS65 with a single MS66+ piece finer. CAC notes 20 pieces total, two coins at MS65 (including this) and two examples at MS66. The CAC price guide value is $17,300. While collectors may alternately be drawn toward either Mint State or proof formats, this colorful, flashy piece is a reminder that business strikes can come with highly prooflike finish. Ex. Branch Mint Collection (GFRC, July 2021), at $21,105. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6335.
	Seated	1874 With Arrows	MS66	PCGS 4943398	-	Gem	$34000	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Medium crust reveals pleasing blue green patina at the rims and within the protected areas. The deepest color resides as the rims, while the fields are lighter. Ample luster is consistent with the assigned grade, and the overall eye appeal is exceptional. Most of the star centers are evident, while a couple claw joints to the left blend together. The Mint added arrows to the subsidiary silver denominations in 1873 and 1874 to indicate a weight change to a metric standard, in this case an even 12.50 grams vs. the 12.44-gram standard previously in place. The two-year With Arrows type is widely pursued by type coin collectors, adding additional pressure to an issue already pursued by date and mintmark collectors. The present coin would easily fit in a world-class type set, bested by only the fewest of examples. CAC notes 69 coins in all grades, four examples in MS66, and two pieces higher, both at MS67. PCGS reflects similarly challenging data, with eight examples at MS66, one coin in MS67, and the MS67+ Hansen collection piece. The CAC guide value is $26,400, while PCGS indicates a value of $42,500. Ex. GFRC (August 2023), at $37,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6346.
	Seated	1874 With Arrows	MS64	NGC 3603430010		Choice	$3650	With Arrows, Choice Original.. A near-gem Seated half dollar lot which is ideal for an advanced collection of the series or for type. Copper-rose patina overlays the obverse while bluish-gold appears on the reverse. This 1874 half is so close to fully struck with only the left facing eagle claw not being completely raised. Uniform frosted luster is activated with angled lighting. A stray ancient line between stars 11 and 12 is seen with 10x. CAC has approved seven at grade with eight finer. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
	Seated	1874-CC	MS63	PCGS 25399807	WB-3	Choice	$37500	Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Along with the 1870-CC and 1878-CC, the 1874-CC is one of the keys to Carson City half dollar set. Few pieces survived from the small mintage of 59,000 pieces and today examples in all grades are highly prized. This piece exhibits even, medium gray toning, with hints of gold, russet, and blue more evident as the coin is tilted under a light. Moderate cartwheel radiates from both sides, a touch more actively on the reverse. WB-3, with a die lump below the curl and a diagonal die line through (STAT)ES. The mintmark is small with close spacing and slopes upward. Well struck with star centers evident and typical softness in the left claws. CAC has approved 47 coins total, a single piece in MS63 (the present coin), two examples at MS64, and a single coin at MS65. PCGS reports three higher pieces in MS64, one coin in MS65 and one example in MS66. The CAC price guide value is $37,400 while PCGS is a tick higher at $37,500. The significance of this offering is hard to overstate, as Carson City pieces are among the most desirable issues in the Seated series. This piece combines the all-important CC mintmark with key date status and a strong technical grade. As if that were not enough, CAC endorses this example as premium for the grade. The new owner of this special coin will be exceptionally pleased. Ex. GFRC (August 2021), at $35,000, previously from the Milford Collection (Heritage 1/2011, lot 5565), realized $26,450. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6347.
	Seated	1875	MS62	PCGS 25263279		Gem	$1800	Exceptional Eye Appeal, Gem Original, Spring Branch Collection. Ex. Oregon Beaver Collection. Throw out the price guide on this one. For certain pieces, the traditional process of gathering published pricing data, along with auction prices realized, simply doesn’t get the job done. Pricing guide publishers are stymied when it comes to quantifying the superb eye appeal of examples such as this, and a single number simply can’t characterize the range of aesthetic appeal that one might find across one numerical grade. Indeed, it would not be hard to find a washed out, white example of this coin in a PCGS or NGC holder on a bourse floor, and yet that piece will sell for a fraction of the price, even if the same technical grade. This piece exhibits frosty centers that contrast boldly with mirrored fields, all framed by electric blue and russet patina at the rims. Surfaces are semi-prooflike, with intense, reflective luster. Coins with this level of eye appeal are difficult to price with the last GFRC auction appearance bringing a $1927 winning bid. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1875-CC	MS64	PCGS 29969962	WB-4	Choice	$7500	Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Medium skin blankets both sides of this Carson City issue, and the originality is strong. Protected areas retain lighter color, around the stars, date, and legend, while the fields are crustier. WB-4, with a low date and medium CC punched high. Strike is typical, with softness beneath the eagle. Although production was just over a million pieces, collector demand for anything “CC”-related is strong, and the CAC certification only increases the desirability of this present piece. CAC has approved 71 pieces in all grades, 11 coins in MS64, and four examples higher, all in MS65. The CAC price guide value is $6,300. Ex. Rare Coin Wholesalers. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6350.
	Seated	1875-S	MS66+	PCGS 36073607	WB-11	Gem	HOLD $7500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Radiant luster flows easily from the surfaces of this GFRC-rated Gem, with cartwheels readily activated by even moderate light. Smoky grey and russet patina covers the fields, with deeper shades evident at the rims , while centers retain original silver color. The strike is near complete, with claw joints separated if faintly so. WB-11, with the date punched to the right and a small mintmark tilting right. CAC has certified 66 coins total, with ten pieces in MS66 and two examples finer, both in MS67. The CAC guide value is $6,000, a reasonable level, given only the pair of MS67 coins besting the present example. Ex. Great Collections (March 2020), at $5,625. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6351.
	Seated	1877-S	MS66+	PCGS 36782849	WB-32	Gem	$6750	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. The Newtown consignor consistently hits the sweet spot in the value profile, with exceptional pieces that are near finest known examples, but at a fraction of the price. CAC has certified 130 coins in all grades, including eight examples in MS66, one piece in MS66+, and a single example finer, in MS67. The CAC price guide value is $4,750 in MS66, rising to $11,000 in MS67 (CAC does not price plus grades). The MS67 coin is in the D. L. Hansen collection and not likely to appear anytime soon, leaving a handful of pieces in the MS66 grades. This coin exhibits original, medium skin, with mixed russet and silver color in the centers and scattered charcoal patina in the stars and legend. Frosty luster is consistent with the technical grade. WB-31, with a diagonal die line through W(E). This is the Type II reverse, with closed bud. Well struck, with most of the claw detail evident. Ex. Great Collections (March 2020), at $6,750. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6357.
	Seated	1879	MS66	PCGS 29250361		Gem	$6000	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. The half dollar run from 1879-1890 forms a series of low production issues, with the highest mintage, 12,001 pieces, occurring in 1888. While many examples were saved at the time of release, the low mintage figures are hard to resist, and these remain popular with collectors today. For those contemplating building such a set, the present sale offers several possibilities, and buyers will do well to consider the various offerings. This 1879 example reveals marbled luster that highlights varied shades of maroon, grey, and tan patina. Stars are sharply impressed, while some of the details in the eagle’s left leg blends together. CAC notes 87 coins across all grades, 16 pieces in MS66, and 14 examples finer, all at MS67. The CAC price guide value is $5,800. Ex. Heritage (August 2022, lot 4528), at $5,040. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6361.
	Seated	1884	MS66	PCGS 25041307		Gem	$7500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Frosty obverse luster pairs with more reflective flash on the reverse, and one can imagine the coiner lightly polishing the reverse die just prior to striking this piece. The obverse reveals greenish-olive patina framed by intense russet color at the stars, while the reverse exhibits more uniform evergreen shade throughout. The head is completely detailed, while the area beneath the reverse shield is somewhat soft. The Philadelphia Mint coined just 4,400 pieces in this year, a quantity tied with the 1882 issue as the lowest production total during the 1879-1890 low mintage run. CAC has approved 48 pieces total, seven coins in MS66, and eight examples finer. The CAC guide value is $7,500. Ex. Oregon Beaver Collection (GFRC, March 2022), at $8,500. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6366.
	Seated	1885	MS66+	PCGS 37581583		Gem	$12500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection, Ex. D.L. Hansen. Medium skin reveals gray-rose color in the fields with more intense blue and gold patina at the rims. Frosty luster is generous, as expected for the technical grade, and a light quickly activates the cartwheels. Stars are sharp, while characteristic softness is evident beneath the reverse shield. CAC notes 31 coins total, two pieces in MS66, and two examples higher, both in MS67. The CAC guide value is $9,000 in MS66, rising to $13,000 in MS67. Purchased from GFRC (January 2023), at $13,000, previously from the D. L. Hansen Collection. Not surprisingly, D. L. Hansen retained a finer coin, a PCGS MS67+ piece with CAC approval. The flip side is that with the Hansen coin off the market for the foreseeable future, the availability of the best coins becomes even thinner. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. The holder features a special D.L. Hansen Collection label with a reverse bar code. PCGS #6367.
	Seated	1885	MS65	PCGS 41344564		Gem	$5750	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. This is a piece that has to be seen in-hand to fully appreciate the deeply original surfaces and swirling cartwheels. Medium to thick rose skin covers both sides and leads toward blue crescents at the rims. The frosty luster is fully Gem and further highlights the old-time color of this low-mintage example. Star centers are completely delineated, while a few of the claw joints meld as one. CAC has approved 28 pieces in all grades, with three coins finer. The CAC guide price is $6,000, a reasonable level for a near-finest known example. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1891	MS64	PCGS 36093412		Choice	$2000	Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Aqua crust outlines the figure of Liberty, with deeper brown colors evident around the stars and date. The reverse is nearly brilliant, with tan and smoky chestnut shades at the legend. The strike is typical, with feathers at the left leg less distinct. Fields are original and hairline-free, as the CAC certification attests. The Mint resumed a larger production of Seated halves in this year, but the overall total, 200,000 pieces, remains on the low side as compared to other Philadelphia issues. CAC notes 61 pieces total, eight coins in MS64, and 22 examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $1,950. Ex. GFRC (December 2020), at $1,750. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6373.
	Barber	1906	MS64+	PCGS 39503931		Gem	HOLD $1625	Gem Eye Appeal, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Dancing Cartwheels, Peripheral Toning, CAC Approval. GFRC Price Reduction. If searching for a gem 1906 Barber half in better Mint State grades, this new offering warrants close review and consideration. This piece was added to inventory for its overall eye appeal driven by brilliant frosted luster, dancing cartwheels, and light peripheral gold and copper shading. Surfaces are essentially unabraded with the (+) grade degrade for faint luster breaks on the lower neck. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Barber	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. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	Barber	1909	MS64	NGC 3572904007		Choice	$1495	Creamy Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Hints of Gold Toning, Accurately Graded. GFRC Price Reduction - This 1909 Barber half is far from a rarity but certainly brings on the eye appeal for those building an advanced type set. Granular textured surfaces radiate creamy frosted luster that is consistent on both sides. Cartwheels are active as expected for the certified grade. Strike is complete with high relief eagle wingtips and fully defined tail feathers and claws. Tiny ebony specks in the upper right obverse attest to the strict originality. Another 2022 Fall NH Coin Expo purchased that belonged on the GFRC price list. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
	Walking Liberty	1916-D	MS65	PCGS 44394843		Gem	$3100	First Year Denver Design Issue, Pretty Golden-Rose Shades, Gem Original. GFRC Price Reduction - The 1916 Philadelphia and Denver struck Walking Liberty halves have comparable rarity in the higher Mint State grades. I could not resist adding this notable gem Denver example to inventory. A well frosted example with radiant luster and the expected cartwheels given a moderate golden patina that turns to rose closer to the peripheries. If luster and superb eye appeal are your cup of tea, this new offering might warrant a closer look. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	Walking Liberty	1921-D	VG10	PCGS 6616202015		Choice	$700	Key Date, Natural Coin Gray, Choice Surfaces. The 1921-D and 1921-S are the unquestioned key dates within the Walking Liberty half dollar series. The 1921-D sports the lowest mintage of the series and is even rare in the lower circulated grades. GFRC located this perfectly original example at the Summer Baltimore show for inventory. One can never have enough 1921-D example in inventory, right? Surfaces are toned a natural coin gray. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Early Commems	1935	MS65	PCGS 21913934		Gem	$1100	Hudson, New York Sesquicentennial, Rich Mint Bloom, Solid Gem, Evergreen State Collection. The Hudson, as it is fondly called, is a silver commem issued during 1935 that marked the 150th anniversary of the founding of Hudson, New York. Named after the explorer Henry Hudson, 25,265 pieces were struck. The reverse flagship, the Half Moon, reminds me of the 1892-1893 Columbian reverse given the commonality of early sailing ship designs. This example warrants its CAC green bean as perfectly original. A thick mint bloom, which coats both sides, scream originality. Active cartwheels are noted under a bright light. "Creamy" is the appropriate term for the radiance. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.3 (2004) holder with CAC approval.
	Early Commems	1936	MS66+	PCGS 46734685		Gem	$1300	Gettysburg, Exceptional Gem, Evergreen State Collection. The Battle of Gettysburg Anniversary commemorative design is truly special with images of Union and Confederate veterans as prepared by Frank Vittor. Mintage was a reasonable 26,928. This super gem survivor radiates brilliant frosted luster and exceptional overall eye appeal. This piece completely stands out in the new consigned Evergreen State Collection and warrants a JUST BUY IT NOW presentation. Under a bright light, the wide borders have acquired a light golden patina which further adds to the charm. The CAC guide indicates $1000 as fair market value at the MS66 level jumping to $1850 in full MS67. Talk to me if you wish to own this marvelous gem. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval.

This color consistency validates the originality. The low 750,000 piece mintage has made this a popular date since the B. Max Mehl auction sales of the early 20th century.

The 1854-O Large Date employs a date punch that was intended for silver dollars according to noted U.S. gold specialist Doug Winter. This date punch variety is scarcer than the Small Date in term of survival rate though a Jackson Tennessee hoard elevated the number of higher grade pieces when discovered during the 1980s.

Reverse fields are frosted with corresponding bright light appearance. Overall luster was so intense that the standard contrast application, during GFRC image processing, was dampened to accurate capture visual effects. The assigned MS64 grade is a function of faint obverse chatter in the field and on the cheek. Frankly, the luster far outweighs any contact marks. Limited mintage of 6,000.

There is a lint mark thread, as made, below Liberty's chin that should not be considered part of the technical grades, but I suspect this is the basis for not securing a full MS67 certification.

	Gold G$5	1888-S Liberty	MS63	CACG 46044320		Choice	HOLD $6150	Condition Census Offering, Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Presentation, Fully Choice, CACG Holder. Since sporting a mintage of 293,900, the 1888-S $5 gold date is often treated as a "common date" in lower grades though one could argue that the date is scarce in all grades as a starting point. The situation shifts dramatically in Mint State where this date becomes very rare at the choice grade level. GFRC is pleased to be offering this CAC Grading example at the MS63 certified level. Only three examples have been stickered along with this CACG holdered specimen. The CDN CAC report indicates only one finer at MS64 without pricing guidance. This under appreciated example offers choice surfaces and glowing frosted luster. Under a bright light, the honey green-gold presentation is immediately evident. Worthy of serious consideration by U.S. gold collectors who seek an under appreciated rarity. Housed in new CAC Grading (2023) holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.

Most survivors are found with abrasions and/or light wear. At the MS64 level, this grade becomes rare and even more so with CAC approval. PCGS has not certified a single gem specimen, therefore MS64 and MS64+ graded examples are as good as it gets. GFRC is pleased to be offering one of the MS64 certified survivors that also has CAC approval. An infrequently seen rose-gold coloring is consistent on both sides. Bright light inspection is a joy given the brilliant frosted luster that explodes off the surfaces. Strike is 100% complete and rounds out the checklist for a designating this offering a near-gem.

Another San Francisco $5 gold date that sports a reasonable mintage but is rare in choice Mint State.
