An impressive 1886 Variety 1 proof strike with gem eye appeal. Unfortunately, the GFRC illustrations do not fairly present this lot's intense mirrors and sky blue coloration under a bright light.

A careful 10x check of the fields confirmed this lot's gem status as the surfaces are entirely hairline free. Overall strike is needle sharp. CAC population stands at 12 at the certified grade with a price guide value of $700. In my opinion, the Port Matilda consignor has fairly priced this offering.

Is the 1838 F-109 die pairing a "partial drapery" or not as asked by many collectors. During a prior die pairing where the obverse and reverse dies clashed, the "partial drapery" designation is a given as the die clash under the right arm is prominent. During its final die state, the "partial drapery" obverse is paired with another reverse. The die clash under Liberty's right arm is still visible though die erosion has weakened its presence. The "partial drapery" remains significant enough to be labeled occasionally by the grading services. This Twin Lakes F-109 example has not been label by PCGS as a "partial drapery" though the die clash is still visible. This example offers frosted luster along with a complete strike. Light gold toning is present on the lower obverse and throughout the reverse. Surfaces are entirely unabraded with metal flows lines into the peripheries.

Light splashes of maroon patina cover both sides atop the steel-gray fields, and the eye appeal is stunning. One is tempted to introduce a "Gem Plus" level to the GFRC rating system, but we'd prefer to simply let the coin speak for itself. F-110a, with a slight upward slope in the date. The reverse legend, which might appear sharp at first glance, is actually less lightly impressed than other 1841 dimes, which tend to exhibit deep relief in this portion of the design.

A lovely example of the 1844 Little Orphan Annie dime that is housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval.

F-102, with the date punched to the left, much closer to the tip of the shield than the F-101. The CAC census indicates 33 pieces total, with three coins at MS63 and four examples finer. The PCGS report is not far behind, with five coins noted at MS63 and four pieces higher. The CAC guide value is $9,900. Uncirculated examples of Liberty Seated branch Mint pieces prior to the 1870s are typically challenging, as collectors of the period cared little about mintmarks. Certain branch Mint issues are completely unknown in Mint State, while others, such as the present coin, are numbered in the single digits. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.2 (2004) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1861 Type 1 Obverse	MS66+	PCGS 81962495	F-103	Gem	$4250	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Brilliant, frosted luster booms from the largely untoned surfaces of this Legend Obverse example. Swirling cartwheels highlight a few flecks of charcoal patina, and the overall flash is easily consistent with the near-Superb Gem technical grade. F-103, with the date and ONE DIME lightly impressed. CAC notes four pieces at MS66 with none higher. The introduction of new hubs beginning in 1859 solved some striking issues and created others. The bow knot is now nicely detailed, but the stalk to the upper left is soft. Regardless, the exceptional luster is easily the first focal point of this appealing Philadelphia piece. The CAC price guide value is $3,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1863-S	MS63	PCGS 30032523		Choice	$10500	Condition Census San Francisco Civil War Date, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Complete Strike, Osprey Collection. Locating any of the San Francisco Civil War Seated dime dates in CAC approved Mint State is always noteworthy. The issues from 1861 through 1867 are well known for having been heavily circulated in western frontier commerce. Few strictly original Mint State survivors are known and an acquisition prize for passionate collectors of the series. I well know myself.

Though not technically a Civil War issue, 1867 Liberty Seated coinage is often lumped into that era due to similar mintages and striking characteristics. This unabraded survivor, from a mintage of 140,000, offers natural coin gray toning along with peripheral ebony framing. A premium example with a decent strike. CAC has approved 24 in all grades and one less than its rare Philadelphia counterpart. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval
	Seated	1869-S	AU50	PCGS 36240357	F-102	Choice	$525	Near-Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. An exceptionally well preserved 1869-S F-102 example with crusty gray patina on both sides.

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. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder and CAC approval.
	Seated	1876-CC	MS64+	PCGS 38184992	F-132	Gem	$1650	Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. Generous luster radiates from the surfaces of this GFRC-Gem dime, and the in-hand flash is considerable.

As a dealer, I see a host of Seated coins with many being subjected to past poor treatments. On occasion, a superb gem with perfectly original surfaces appears. So was the case at Summer FUN 2021 and the purchase of this 1877-CC Type2 F-110 dime. Steely fields and natural reflective luster are initial highlights during bright light inspection. Toning is a combination of silver-gray with peripheral gold plus aquamarine on the obverse. Strike is hammered when considering the die pairing and shattered reverse. What appeals to me the most is the thick natural patina that is semi-transparent to the underlying luster. Trust me on this piece, it is a exceptional example for the grade, else I would not have added to GFRC inventory. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2021) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1884	MS67	PCGS 07420497	F-105	Gem	$2500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Glowing, satiny luster reveals silver-gray surfaces that exhibit a fine spray of maroon patina.

	Barber	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.

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.

	Barber	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.

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.

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

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.

Locating well preserved Capped Bust quarters is a never ending challenge as I'm picky with surfaces. Most will be found with one issue or another, especially the Open Collar strikes from 1815 - 1828. This choice 1819 Small 9 example is evenly worn while the surfaces are toned the expected coin gray shades that validate originality. When viewed under a bright light, the obverse peripheral exhibits copper-gold and light blue hues. At the certified grade, I'm comfortable calling the surfaces as being unabraded. Overall, a premium offering that will please even the most selective collector. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval.
	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.

	Seated	1849-O	F15	PCGS 30006308		Choice	$5700	New Orleans Key Date, Crusty Gray Patina, Choice Original Surfaces, Quito Collection. The mintage for 1849 New Orleans strikes is unrecorded with Briggs estimating a mintage of 16,000 pieces. Few example ever reach the marketplace. The CAC population report further illustrates the dilemma facing collectors as only 17 have been approved in all grades with more than half grading between FA02 and F12. GFRC is pleased to report that the Quito Collection is releasing the single approved F15 specimen. This example is strictly original with consistent crusty gray patina on both sides. Surfaces are essentially unabraded and quite pleasing when one considers the amount of time in circulation and the opportunities for mistreatment. Honestly, the "price guides" are just that for this date as the overwhelming challenge is locating an example, let along a choice CAC approved specimen. Let's see how long this offering lasts on the 30 Day Price List. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2003-2004) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1852	MS66	PCGS 9462318	Briggs 1-A	Gem	$25000	New March 10! Superb Gem Original, Condition Census, Repunched Date, Quito Collection. The Quito Collection continues his releases of some amazing Liberty Seated quarters. Mintage of the 1852 date is 177,060 with PCGS having certified eight pieces between MS65, MS65+, and MS66, with none finer. The Quito lot is one of four certified at PCGS along with one of four approved at CAC. When checking CoinFacts and reviewing the Eugene Gardner specimen, which is the CoinFacts plate coin, it is readily apparent that the Quito specimen is superior to the Gardner coin in terms of strike and undisturbed luster. DLRC last sold the Gardner lot during August 2017 with CAC approval for $21,500. Previously, the same lot sold in Heritage's 2015 Gardner Sale, without CAC approval, for $18,800. You are invited to visit CoinFacts and the auction records to validate my findings. Bottom line, the Quito Collection specimen is exceptional and superior to the Gardner pedigreed example. This piece is an unmitigated "luster bomb" with old time light gold toning. This lot is worthy of the finest Seated coinage collections under construction. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.0 (1990-1993) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1856	AU50	PCGS 2849756		Choice	$325	Crusty Coin Gray, Choice Original, Worn Holder. A popular date for type given its availability through AU58.

Rose and gold centers are lightly toned, and the eye appeal is exceptional. Fully struck, an important distinction for this date, as many high-grade pieces come with soft stars or other striking issues. Under a glass, fine die polish lines are evident on both sides. CAC has certified 100 pieces, with 10 examples finer. A superb example of the type. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1857	MS66	PCGS 20211414		Gem	$4900	Unquestionably Gem, Exceptional Bright Light Viewing, Sharp Steely Frosted Luster. A gorgeous gem that MUST BE VIEWED in-hand to be appreciated! Sadly, the GFRC images are unable to capture the viewing transition when placed under a bright light. The in-hand greens and rose shift to mostly light blues with a huge peripheral gold ring that is absolutely enthralling. What other superlatives can be used to describe this gem? Eye appeal and luster is of a higher grade with a contact mark by star 5 that most likely account for the certified grade. Luster is sharp and brilliant from steely surfaces. Once again, I must ask for clients to trust this description rather than the images. Photographing high grade gems with lightly contrasted patina brings its illustration challenges.

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.

Carson City Mint production jumped to 140,000 during 1875 after much slower mintages during the start-up years. This date is downright scarce in all grades and always missing on the GFRC price list. The Quito Collection comes to the rescue as releasing a four lot Mint State date set (1875-CC to 1878-CC) with this leadoff 1875-CC securing a GFRC-Gem rating. Overall eye appeal is that of a higher grade given brilliant frosted luster and vibrant cartwheels. Strike is about good as it gets for the Type II/II design hubs and westerner frontier workmanship. Surfaces are unabraded with faint clashing on the lower reverse that needs more research. CAC population report indicates 3 approved at grade with 9 better.

The portrait of Liberty and the adjacent fields exhibit hints of rose patina while the reverse bears a light wash of smoky color.

	Barber	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.

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.

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.

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.
	Barber	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.

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. This specimen is 100% original with speckled olive-gold patina on the obverse and creamy light gold on the reverse. Reverse luster is particularly strong with vibrant cartwheels.

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.

Star centers are well defined, while most of the claws exhibit separation if faintly so. The CAC census includes 75 pieces total, with only three coins finer, all in MS67. PCGS counts but four pieces at the MS67 level, reinforcing the rarity of this issue in the highest grades. The CAC price guide value is $7,500, while PCGS quotes $8,000. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1877	MS66+	PCGS 45243280		Gem	$7500	Exceptional Eye Appeal, Superb Gem, Oustanding Type Candidate, Osprey Collection. An exceptionally beautiful 1877 Seated half that would boldly complement the finest early silver type sets under construction. This piece would also fit in nicely for those seeking premium Mint State halves. Unfortunately, the GFRC images are unable to accurately illustrate the granular frosted luster that actively interacts with the rose-gold and peripheral blue shades. Angled lighting further exposes the vibrant cartwheel action. As also expected from a gem graded 66+, the strike is all there. The darker thin lines in the right obverse field are toning lines. CAC has approved and graded 78 in all grades, not a surprise given the high mintage. At the offer grade, 14 have been approved with 3 finer. The PCGS MS66+ grade is well represented by this example and then some. Yet another superb find by the Osprey Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.

The present example, from the inaugural year of this run, presents a thick skin of smoky grey patina with sea-green highlights in the protected areas. Steely, frosted luster creates swirling cartwheels, and the eye appeal is compelling. Stars are sharply impressed, while a few of the feathers on the eagle's left leg are soft.

Maroon and rose patina fill the fields of this late-date Philadelphia half, while blue and charcoal shades flood the rims and protected areas.

	Seated	1890	EF40	NGC 5938753010		Choice	$1200	New March 28! Low Mintage Philadelphia Date, Natural Coin Gray, Residual Steely Luster, Typical CAC Approved Surfaces. 1890 brought the last of the low-mintage half dollar years as a result of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, which shifted much of the Mint's production capacity from minor denominations to Morgan dollars. Only 12,000 1890 halves were struck at the Philadelphia mint. Surfaces are consistent with what is being seen holdered in CAC Grading holders. Fields retain steely luster under a bright light.

This 1893 Columbian Exposition offering, from the Quito Collection, is well preserved with essentially unabraded surfaces. The certified grade is likely attributed to muted luster against early PCGS expectations. Under a bright light, ample amounts of undisturbed steely luster are noted. The offer price is attractive as 1893 dated pieces are slightly better than the 1892 year of release. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.0 (1990-1993) holder and with CAC approval.

Charles Barber's 1892 quarter and half dollar coinage designs reintroduced the Great Seal, the principal national symbol, to the American public. The emblem is better exhibited by the half dollar reverse, which provided additional workspace for the multiple elements. The frosty surfaces of this example reveal generous luster, which complements the antique silver patina on both sides.

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.

From 1923 to 1928, the San Francisco mint issued coinage for only three years; 1923-S, 1927-S, and 1928-S. The 1923-S is the better date among the three with an AU58 CAC approved example being released by Twin Lakes. This is a light gray toned example with the typical high rims and "dished" appearance.

	Walking Liberty	1934-D	MS64	PCGS 34761436		Choice	$600	New April 1! Earlier Branch Mint Issue, Near-Gem Original. Coin collecting came into its own in the 1930s, with the advent of coin boards that sold into the millions. Most people pursued lower denomination pieces, typically cents, but the coin mania bled into higher denominations as well.

This frosty 1934-D half is largely untoned with only a few bits of deeper patina evident. CAC notes 206 pieces total. The CAC price guide value is $624.

This date is nearly as rare as the 1833-S which is also offered by the Sheffield consignor in our Two Fine Gentlemen auction event. Pastel yellow-blue, aquamarine, and gold are overlaid on frosted surfaces with the obverse toning being denser. Regardless, the frosted radiance is substantial under angled lighting while the cartwheels are equally vibrant.

Truly original and undipped examples are scarce in full gem based on CAC approval rates. CAC has approved 103 Denver strikes at the MS65 grade. This example screams originality with its brilliant frosted luster and faint copper-gold toning. Bright light exposure releases frosted luster and vibrant cartwheels.

Finally, the surfaces are pristine without tiny abrasions during 10x review. The certified MS67+ grade and CAC approval place this lot at the condition census as CAC has yet to approve a single MS68. Pricing a coin at this quality level is challenging. The PCGS price guide number at MS67+ is $2750 with auction records consistent with the reserve price. A superb gem for those building the finest registry sets. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6619
	Walking Liberty	1946 Doubled Die Reverse	MS65	PCGS 47965819		Gem	$3150	New April 1! Doubled Die Reverse, Gem Original, Sheffield Collection.. The 1946 Double Die Reverse continues to be popular after being listed separately in the PCGS price guide along with Cherrypickers as FS-801. The doubling on E PLURIBUS UNUM is substantial enough to be easily recognized by die variety enthusiasts. In Gem MInt State, the PCGS population report indicates 61 pieces with 27 finer. When considering CAC approval, those numbers drop significantly with 18 approved at grade and 16 finer. This example presents brilliant frosted radiance and spinning cartwheels.

Production in San Francisco was strong in this year, but this example clearly emerges toward the top of the census. Type II/II, as are all examples of this issue. Type II/I examples have been rumored without verification and would no doubt be accompanied by great publicity, should one of the services authenticate such an example.

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. This Summer Baltimore new purchase certainly qualifies as a notable gem given the mirrored fields, sharp reflective luster, and gorgeous toning. The bright light visuals are eye catching including swirling cartwheels. If in the market for a truly special first year Morgan strike, please give this gem toner special attention.

Surfaces are essentially unabraded with a single contact mark at the junction of Liberty's jaw and neck. An excellent example for type with that all important green bean.

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.

	Gold G$2.5	1847-O Liberty	AU50	PCGS 5598383		Choice	$1750	Cracked Reverse, Choice Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. This scarce New Orleans date presents a mintage of only 124,000 pieces with most survivors are clustered at the EF40 through low AU grades. An impressive CAC approval example with well-balanced visuals. Fields are steely reflective with claims to being lightly mirrored. The coloration is classic green-gold with honey-gold overtones. Surfaces have a few stray ticks of no consequence. Strike is weak, especially on the reverse with Doug Winter citing this date as being among the most poorly struck for a New Orleans issue. Advanced collection should carefully consider this historical artifact for its overall beauty and rarity. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$2.5	1854-O Liberty	AU58	NGC 1743854001		Choice	$1700	Rare In Mint State, Lucious Green-Gold AU58, Bond Strike, CAC Approved. 1854-O $2.5 Liberty gold mintage amounted to 153,000 pieces with the date being available in circulated grades. In Mint State, the date becomes rare. CAC population totals 21 at the certified grade with only 9 finer. The rapid pricing premium in Mint State should might make this offering attractive. But what about the coin itself? Well I like it a lot! This one has green-gold as the primary color with light copper-gold in the fields and around devices. Luster is of a steely texture with moderate reflectance. Fields are essentially unabraded and the strike is particularly strong for a New Orleans strike. I'm liking this one more and more as the description is finalized. You will too! Housed in NGC Gen 9 (2001-2003) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$2.5	1854-O Liberty	EF45	NGC 3891583012		Choice	$1150	Classic Copper-Green Gold, Well Preserved, CAC Approved. 1854 brought the distinction of the $2.5 gold denomination being struck at all five mints of that era. The Dahlonega and San Francisco issues are brutally difficult to locate while the Charlotte is not far behind in rarity. This leaves the New Orleans issue as being available for branch mint collectors. Though the mintage is only 153,000, the date is seen with some frequency. This new GFRC offering is readily noted for its classic copper-green gold coloration and smooth surfaces. The circulated eye appeal is all there and pleasing. Housed in NGC Gen 17 holder with CAC approval.

	Gold G$2.5	1862 Liberty	AU58	NGC 3311124012		Choice	$3900	Important Civil War Issue, Light Frosty Luster, Green-Gold Coloring, Pristine Surfaces. 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.

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.

Orange-yellow color surrounds pink-gold patina within the central devices. The only mark of note, beneath the chin, nicely blends into the obverse design. The strike is needle-sharp, with complete definition of the stars, claws, and feathers. CAC has approved 105 pieces in all grades, with five coins finer, all in MS67.

GFRC images should well convey the attractive nature of this 1906 $2.5 gold piece. Rich honey-gold is complemented by brilliant frosted luster.

Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$2.5	1908 Indian	MS64+	PCGS 42227977		Gem	$3300	New April 6! Gem Original, Island Lake Collection.. Consignor Pricing Reduction. The Indian $2.50 set is uncomplicated, consisting of 14 pieces with similar mintages, and a single issue, the 1911-D, above the rest in terms of rarity. A complete set is accessible to many collectors, and GFRC recommends purchasing several of the more common pieces first, in order to acquire an understanding of what to look for when considering the lone “stopper” in the set. The present coin exhibits even yellow-gold surfaces with only a few scattered lines in the fields. The plus designation on this example is significant, as the CAC price guide value advances from $2,620 in MS64 to $6,300 in MS65. Whether building a $2.50 Indian set or simply seeking noteworthy pieces, this is an appealing example that will easily stand above other coins at the MS64 level.

	Gold G$20	1857-S Liberty	MS64+	PCGS 35669898		Gem	$11200	Gem Original, Wisconsin Gold Collection.. The S.S. Central America recovery is the stuff of legend, perhaps best told in Gary Kinder’s book, Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea, an engaging narrative that completely details the challenges of this deep-sea salvage operation. This continues to be an evolving story, with the discoverer Tommy Thompson currently in prison on contempt charges, as he refuses to divulge the whereabouts of certain parts of this fabled treasure. Among the thousands of pieces recovered is this exceptionally flashy 1857-S double eagle, which exhibits only scattered ticks and near-full Mint bloom throughout. Sharply struck with defined star centers and defined curls throughout. CAC has certified 729 pieces total, with 301 coins at MS65 or finer. Housed in special PCGS S.S.

	Gold G$20	1862-S Liberty	AU58	NGC 2055173005		Choice	$11250	Scarce Civil War San Francisco Date, Honey Green-Gold, Frosted Luster, Osprey Collection . Along with the later 1863-S and 1865-S double eagle issues, the 1862-S has had it rarity profile altered by shipwrecks coins from the S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic. Regardless, this date still remains scarce in full AU as is the case of this Osprey Collection release. This AU58 example features honey green-gold coloration and soft granular luster when viewing under a bright light.

Following the very rare 1908-S issue with a mintage of only 22,000 struck, 1909 saw a more normal mintage for that period. 1909-S Saints are recognized for being well struck and exhibiting granular frosted luster to extends up to the satiny level as is the case here.

GFRC's $20 Saint strategy has been evolving to a concentration of better dates and leaving the bullion trade to others.

This GFRC-rated Gem is a superb example of the $20 Saint, with exceptional luster interrupted by only scattered ticks. Saint-Gaudens’ design is perhaps the most popular within American numismatics, driven by a conscious effort on the part of President Roosevelt to introduce more aesthetically pleasing designs into the nation’s coinage.

This example exhibits yellow-gold color, with subtle copper-rose patina surrounding the figure of Liberty. The CAC price guide is $3,580 in MS65 and jumps to $5,560 in MS66.
