I've seen few 1839-O F-109 examples in any grade during my two decades plus of working with Seated dimes.

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.

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.

	Seated	1865	PR65CAM	PCGS 20369184	F-102	Gem	$3250	Civil War Era Gem, Brilliant Proof Mirrors, Cameo Designation, Tenafly Collection.. 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. An untoned example with superb access to the die characteristics including die rust in the shield and left field legend. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) Gold Shield holder with CAC approval.

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. The CAC census is 26 total with $825 value estimate before the die variety rarity premium. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. Worthy of a strong bid! PCGS #4642.
	Seated	1866	G06	PCGS 32749229	F-102a	Gem	$1500	Civil War Philadelphia Issue, Gem Original, Tenafly Collection.. What a special offering when checking the CAC population report! This evenly worn 1866 dime is the lowest graded example approved by CAC, other than a Fair02, with the next approved being a VF20. 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.

The CAC price guide stands at $12,000 with a check of the GFRC Sales Archives being fortuitous with prior Mint State sales being an accurate value benchmark. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4644.
	Seated	1867	MS67	PCGS 38519788	F-102	Gem	$17500	Tied for Finest, An Exceptional Gem, Gerry Fortin Collection.. 1867 brought the lowest Philadelphia mintage with 6,000 struck.

	Seated	1873 No Arrows, Open 3	MS63	PCGS 85794205	F-101	Choice	$2350	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.

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.

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!

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.

	Seated	1851	MS64	NGC 122157002	Briggs 1-B	Gem	HOLD $8750	New October 7! Exceptional Eye Appeal, Steely-Frosted Luster, Gem Original. Regardless of its 160,000 reported mintage, the 1851 Philadelphia issue is much scarcer than expected with the 1851 through 1853 silver arbitrage being a probable explanation. Briggs states that "Nice AU and UNC coins are rare and have a semi-pale frosted look. GFRC is proud to be offering this exceptionally toned example with steely-frosted radiance that amplifies light orange-gold and aquamarine patination that "floats" on the surfaces. A hammered strike allows for minute die anomalies to be readily inspected with a 10x. Of note are several rust pits on the neck and left-facing arm. Fields are undisturbed with a single tiny contact mark above the left wing edge. Yes, I'm being overly criterial here as this piece is a color and luster play that belongs in the most advanced collectors under construction. The CAC census stands at 33 approved with a single finer in full gem. The current CAC price guide at $6,750 is a conservative estimate given only five total are approved in MInt State.

The obverse offer a bit of a circulated cameo appearance due to light devices nicely contrasted against darker fields. Reverse toning leans towards olive-gray coloring and is more uniform.

If wishing to add some "spice" in a type set, this near-gem 1854-O quarter should be considered. Additionally, those that enjoy blast white frosted luster should be equally interested. Equally important is a hammered strike with die lines in the reverse being easily noted and designates the variety is Briggs 1-C. Faint and wispy hairlines in the right field preclude a full GFRC-Gem quality rating. The CAC approved lot is one of 33 approved, a small number considering a mintage of 1,484,000. The CAC Price Guide lists $4,400 as fair market value, but we know the guide is conservative for premium Liberty Seated coinage. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval.

Only 22 are approved in all grades with six finer above this well preserved VF35 specimen. Though 121,00 were struck, only 2 survived in Mint State 62.

Dirt is located within the reverse olive leaves and shield as a testament to the strict originality. Strike is typical with some weakness in the stars.

The GFRC images just don't this offering justice as the darker reverse toning, at the top border, is much lighter in hand. My image processing matrix will enhance darker shades.

Consignor Price Reduction - 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.

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.

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.

This important 1876 Seated half dollar variety features a larger date style that was punched over a smaller date, with remnants of the first date remaining within the 1, 8, and 6 digits. Steely fields are noted under a natural layer of coin gray patination. The originality is unquestionable while the strike is full executed. This is a popular date, full of varieties, and this piece represents perhaps the most significant obverse die for the year. CAC has stickered only three examples of this variety with a single AU58 finer. Setting a reserve for this piece is challenging with the GFRC Sales Archive indicating two sales of a non-CAC example at $3250. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. The label documents the variety attribution as Lg/Sm Date FS-301 WB-106. A truly important opportunity for the die variety specialist.

Consignor Price Reduction - 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.

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.

	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.

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.

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.

GFRC Price Reduction - For those not intimate with the Morgan dollar series, the 8 Tail Feather variant was a hub die error as eagles do not have 8 tail feathers. Only 3/4 of a million were struck with the date being scarce in full gem.

Since starting the GFRC business, there has always been an affinity for toner Morgans. Over time, I've been hand selecting CAC approved toners with coloration that is consistent with originality expectations. Let's face it, there are ample amounts of retoned Morgans out in the market with what I consider to be unnatural colors. This 1878-S example offers the classic obverse aquamarine, copper-gold, and blues on the obverse and delineated green and copper-gold on the reverse that could have paper origins.

Faint golden-gray obverse patina is transparent to the underlying steely luster on this lightly circulated 1886-S Morgan. The reserve patina is deeper with the same obverse hues. 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.

This new acquisition is fully struck with deeply impressed motifs, partially mirrored fields, and an overall yellow-gold coloration. David Akers opines that, "The 1872 is one of my favorite dates in the gold dollar series. Except for the 1875, it is the scarcest date after 1870 and is really very rare in choice condition." The rarity is easily corroborated by checking the CAC census with only 17 approved in all grades. The CAC price guide stands at $3,300 at the offered graded and jumps to $4,500 at the MS64 level. A compelling offering for those assembling a $1 gold set. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$10	1847 Liberty	AU50	PCGS OGH 9829530		Choice	$2650	New October 19! Choice Original, A Type Set Offering, Island City Collection.. Rich orange-gold patina blankets both sides, with deeper shades evident in the stars. Original Mint bloom is present in the protected areas, within the figure of Liberty and the reverse legend. Even though production of the 1847 issue was relatively plentiful, the CAC population is remarkably low when compared to 20th century gold series. CAC has approved 112 coins, nine pieces in AU50, and 62 examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $2,650. Housed in a PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder with CAC approval. The combination of a classic gold coin with the old green holder is, in our opinion, more attractive than the current PCGS presentation, which employs blue tags.
	Gold G$10	1854-O Liberty	EF40	PCGS 5589514	Large Date	Choice	HOLD $2800	Large Date, Green-Gold Coloring, Residual Luster, Tenafly Collection.. 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. This issue is known for having a concave appearance that leads to weak center devices while the margins are boldly struck. The Tenafly specimen presents natural green-gold coloration and steely fields with traces of luster at the EF40 grade. The surfaces are exceptionally well preserved and essentially pristine regardless of wear. Eye appeal is that of a higher grade. The CAC approval census is presently 42 across all grades with a price guide value at $2900. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (2002-2003) holder with CAC approval. Ex. Port Matilda Collection. PCGS #98614.

	Gold G$10	1898 Liberty	MS64+	PCGS 45595744		Choice	HOLD $3500	So Close to Gem, Honey-Gold, Sparkling Frosted Luster. What a surprise when reviewing the CDN CAC guide and population reports. 1898 Philadelphia $10 gold could be considered a better date as only 60 have been approved in all grades versus a mintage of 812,130. This newly consigned example is approaching the condition census given its noteworthy preservation. Coloration is the typical honey-gold while the surfaces are covered with micro-textured mint frost. The resulting luster is brilliant with commensurate charwheels. Two scattered obverse ticks are consistent with the (+) certified grade rather than full gem.

	Gold G$2.5	1857 Liberty	AU53	CACG 650219513		Choice	$850	Challenging "Common Date", Choice Original, Honey-Green Gold, Fresh CACG Grading. 1857 Philadelphia struck $2.5 gold amounted to 214,130 pieces resulting in numismatic experts viewing the date as "common". However, when fully choice, this date is challenging given that CAC has stickered only 41 in all grades while CACG has holdered two examples, one of which is being offered here. The premium nature is unquestionable with well preserved surfaces that are every so lightly worn. Coloration is a traditional honey green-gold. The CAC price guide is $925 as reference. Perfect as a pre-Civil War era type piece and much more difficult that the 1852, 1853, and 1854 Philadelphia issues and even the 1854-O . Housed in new CAC Grading holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.

An important Civil War era Liberty $2.5 gold offering that is challenging in all grades. Mintage was limited to 98,508 with question marks concerning the amount that was actually released into east coast circulation during a period when all silver and gold specie disappeared from commerce due to hoarding. This pristine 1862 survivor warrants close scrutiny for inclusion in an advanced $2.5 gold set. Surfaces scream originality with their natural green-gold coloring and light frosted texture. Surfaces are entirely unabraded and so pleasing with darker "dirt" in some protected areas. Strike is also complete. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.

Bright honey-gold surfaces are partially mirrored reflective, with minimal abrasions for the grade. Under a bright light, cartwheels are readily apparent with no obtrusive anomalies. Strike softness on Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's left leg is typical of the issue. A fresh release from the Oregon Beaver Collection that is worth of consideration. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$2.5	1880 Liberty	AU58	NGC 3316954002		Gem	$2300	New September 24! Gem Original Offering, Yellow Gold, Partially Mirrored Fields, CAC approved. Consignor Price Reduction - The 1880 $2.5 gold issue is yet another lower mintage later date that continues to be underrated in the current marketplace. With a mintage of 2,960, this date is scarce in all grades. I was compelled to reward this exceptional example with a GFRC-Gem quality tating. Maybe I am enchanted by the mirrored fields that exhibit sharp reflectance under a bright light. Also compelling is the complete strike and unabraded surfaces with light rub consistent with the certified grade. Coloration falls into the honey yellow-gold realm. The CAC census currently stands at 25 stickered with a CDN price guide number being quoted as $2,250. There is a 50% pricing premium at MS62. Housed in NGC 25 (2008) holder with CAC approval.

Survivors in the lower Mint State grades are readily available with the date become very scarce in full gem. GFRC is pleased to be offering a CAC approved specimen at the lofty MS65 grade with a single example finer. The CAC price guide lists $5,600 as fair market value for reference. This lot is a "luster bomb" with rich honey-gold mint bloom on both sides. Under a bright light, the frosted radiance and cartwheels are thoroughly pleasing. The peripheral strike is hammered with raised stars and elevated reverse legend though the eagle's left leg feathers are weakly defined. Worthy of careful consideration. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
	Gold G$2.5	1888 Liberty	MS64	NGC 4116837002		Gem	$2100	Deeply Frosted Radiance, Honey Yellow-Gold, Gem Original, CAC Approved. The Liberty $2.5 gold series is replete with low mintage dates that would bring huge premiums if found in high demand smaller sliver denominations. This 1888 Philadelphia issue is an example with only 2,960 struck. The date is naturally scarce overall due to mintage though, in MInt State, the issue is available. Survivors with completely unmolested surfaces are always in demand. Offering here is a GFRC-Gem rated example with hammered strike and with deeply impressed device details. Under a bright light, the frosted radiance is brilliant and intense. Coloration falls into a honey yellow-gold spectrum. The CDN CAC price guide is $2,250 as reference.

The CAC situation is similar with a census of 46 in all grades with only eight approved in full gem, with a pricing premium escalating over 3x. This new Oregon Beaver is a captivating offering that is most welcomed on the GFRC price list. Coloration is a uniform honey yellow-gold with glowing frosted luster during inspection. Pristine surfaces are noted with a 10x while the strike is weak at the eagle's left leg, a common issue per the PCGS price guide plate coins.

Consignor Price Reduction - Every coin that crosses the GFRC desk has its special characteristics. In the case of this near-gem 1895 $2.5 quarter eagle, brilliant luster and eye appeal are that of a higher grade. Obverse fields are lightly mirrored and offer reflective radiance. 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. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$2.5	1906 Liberty	MS63	PCGS 43773788		Choice	$825	Rich Honey-Gold, Frosted Luminous, Near-Gem Original, Scenic Lakeview Collection.

Part of the bright light routine is checking cartwheel action. This piece does just fine with nicely rotating reflectance. A few micro-ticks in front of the face holds this piece back from a GFRC-Gem quality rating. Fairly priced and worthy of a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for the overall quality.

The 1914-D is one of the three big condition keys in the Indian quarter eagle series, the others being the 1911 Denver and 1914 Philadelphia issues. Gem examples are decidedly elusive while in near-gem, this issue becomes more available. This pedigreed lot displays glowing satiny luster from green-gold colored surfaces. Mintage was limited to 448,000 pieces. Housed in 2013 NGC holder with special brown Eric P. Newman pedigreed label. The lot includes the original Colonel Green paper storage envelope. PCGS #7947.

With a limited mintage of 448,000 pieces, the 1914-D issue ranks as the third rarest within the $2.5 Indian gold series. Its scarcity is relative as there are still an ample amount of Mint State survivors. In these situations, collectors need to focus on procuring premium examples with bold luster and unquestionable originality. Such is the case for this newly consigned example. This is the first time that I use the term steely-satiny to describe a coin but it is fitting. The main center incused devices are satiny under a bright light while the surrounding fields have steely reflectance. Surfaces are essentially unabraded and more than consistent with the certified grade. Coloration is a consistent rich honey-gold. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

Premiums jump dramatically at the MS62 level with only two pieces at the full choice level.

FS-302 documents a dramatic misplaced date variety, as an errant 1 digit protruding from the front of Liberty's neck at the junction with the bust. This is a late die state example of the FS-302 attribution with a bold vertical crack from11:30 to the top of the coronet at the letters TY in LIBERTY, then down to the rim at the 4 digit in the date.

CAC has approved 19 coins total, and the CAC price guide value in AU55 is $6,000. While finest known status confers the all-important bragging rights, we would rather own, for the same money, a dozen coins like this AU55 example, as opposed to a single piece graded only a few points finer. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$5	1873 Liberty	AU58	PCGS 43137258	Open 3	Choice	HOLD $1200	Open 3, Choice Original, Tenafly Collection.. The 1873 Open and Closed 3 half eagles follow the same date punch revisions that permeated throughout the non-dollar silver coinage of that year. With comparable mintages and CAC census populations, both date punch variants are equally available and priced accordingly. This Tenafly lot presents partially mirrored fields under a bright light and classic green-gold colors with darker shades on the motifs. All star centers are fully defined, however the eagle neck feathers and lower left leg are partially struck. A total of 30 Open 3 examples are CAC approved with a price guide value at $1250 rounding out the key points. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. The insert captures the Fairmont Collection pedigree. PCGS #8328.
	Gold G$5	1873-S Liberty	AU53	PCGS 39683304		Choice	$4150	Rare San Francisco Date, Choice Original, Tenafly Collection.. A handsomely original piece, rich golden-gray and rose-apricot colors flow over smooth and lustrous AU surfaces. The mintage of 31,000 coins reported for the 1873-S is on par with those of other San Francisco Mint fives from the late 1860s and early 1870s and, like those other issues, heavy commercial use on the West Coast claimed most of the coins. This issue is scarce even in well worn condition, while in the popular collector grades of EF and AU only a few small handfuls remain. With only two Mint State examples known. The CAC census is currently 24 in all grades with six finer. The price guide suggests $3900 as fair market value, a figure that appears to be conservative when considering a mintage of just 31,000 pieces. A Tenafly lot that offers a compelling combination of rarity, originality, and aesthetic appeal. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #8332.

The 1880-CC $5 gold piece is on the lower end of the survival scale when reviewing the CAC population report. A total of 65 examples have been approved with the bulk of the distribution between EF45 and AU58 at substantially higher premiums. If wishing to own a piece of early Carson City issued gold, this moderately worn example presents a compelling entry point. Surfaces are entirely original with the expected copper-gold patina. A few circulation marks attest to the fact that this lot did circulate in the early frontier period. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval. The CDN CAC guides stands at $2620 for reference.
	Gold G$5	1890 Liberty	AU58	PCGS 5750963009		Choice	$3600	Tiny Mintage, Very Low CAC Population, Choice Original, Tenafly Collection.. Given its tiny mintage of 4,240, this 1890 half eagle issue is a proverbial collector challenge in all grades. Luckily, the Tenafly Collection Liberty half eagle release includes this AU58 certified example with CAC approval. A premium specimen with moderately mirrored fields and a honey green-gold coloration with lighter shades appearing during an angled light review. The obverse fields exhibit light chatter that is typical seen at this offered grade and of no consequence to collecting pursuits of rare U.S. gold. The CAC census includes 19 in all grades with four finer. Sold into the Tenafly Collection during December 2021 with excellent illustrations for an aggressive bidding strategy.

	Gold G$5	1891 Liberty	MS64	PCGS 41436481		Choice	$3750	Rare Uncirculated, Superb Rose-Gold Coloring, Completed Strike, Near-Gem. 1891 Philadelphia $5 gold strikes were limited to 61,360 pieces in an era of massive silver coinage output. 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.

	Gold G$5	1895-S Liberty	MS62	PCGS 41453606		Choice	$3750	Rare in Mint State, Few Finer CAC Approved, Sparkling Frosted Luster, Osprey Collection. Consignor Price Reduction. Another San Francisco $5 gold date that sports a reasonable mintage but is rare in choice Mint State. Even in the late 19th century, west coast coinage had few collectors to selectively "put pieces away" for the long term. As a result, the 1895-S date brings a substantial premium when CAC approved. All but 9 of the 45 approved are at the circulated level. The Osprey Collection is offering a choice example that exhibits pretty sparkling frosty luster and swirling cartwheels. Coloration is a light honey-gold. Scattered field chatter accounts for the certified grade. Only four are finer. Fairly priced for the rarity.
