Early Commemoratives
	1893 25C	MS63	NGC Fatty 193467003	Choice	HOLD $550	1892 Isabella Commemorative, Beautifully Toned, Frosty Luster, CAC Approval. The 1893 Isabella is one of my favorite early silver commemoratives due to many being available with beautiful toning. Made available at the World's Columbian Exposition but in the shadow of the Columbian half dollar. Few were purchased by the public and most were sold in later years. This lovely example offers frosty underlying luster multi-color toning. Surfaces are unabraded. Overall eye appeal is worthy of a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. The assgined NGC grade is a function of luster rather than any distracting marks. Housed in early NGC Fatty holder with CAC approval.
	1918 50C	MS65	NGC 2506663008	Gem	HOLD $240	1918 Illinios Commemorative, Thick Frosty Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Fully Struck. A wonderful "Lincoln" Illinios Centennial half dollar with rich frosty luster and active cartwheels. Though considered to be common, most will be found untoned white or with light toning. This fully struck example has eye appealing medium gold coloring and is above average for the asking price. Housed in older NGC holder with standard ring insert.
	1921 50C	MS64	PCGS 82180849	Gem	New Price $175	Gem Original, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Deep Gray/Voilet Patina, Accurately Graded. A candidate for the crappiest GFRC images of the year! I bought this early commemorative at the November Westford show without thinking too hard. Surfaces were darkly toned but perfect original and radiate bold cartwheel luster with any amount of lighting. Don't I enjoying swirling this silver piece under a bright light to view dancing luster and embedded golden hues. Folks, this piece is a gem. However, GFRC images with weak sunlight only capture the dark in hand appearance. So some imagination will be necessary to appreciate and then considing ordering on my description. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.
	1927 50C	MS63	PCGS 35744125	Choice	$260	Vermont Sesquicentennial, Near Gem Original, Steely Cartwheels, Substantial Eye Appeal. Net distribution of 28,142 as 11,892 were melted. Struck in very high relief as compared to other early silver commemoratives. Survivors all show excellent detail but the high relief brought about friction on Ira Allen's cheek. This MS63 graded example offers exceptional steely luster and is so pleasing. Cartwheels are vibrant. Faint speckled ebony toning is concentrated at the peripheries. Near gem for the assigned grade level. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1934 50C	MS66	NGC Fatty 183349022	Gem	HOLD $415	1934 Boone Commemorative, Low Mintage, Thick Frosty Luster, Copper-Gold Patina, Superb Gem. The 1934 Boone silver commemorative mintage was limited to 10,007 coins with a high survival rate. This issue is found with frosty to satiny-like luster with excellent eye appeal. Collector challenge is locating an example that they find especially appealing. This lovely specimen captured my attention at the 2019 Winter Baltimore pre-show buying event as so attractive and well struck. Housed in old NGC Fatty holder with CAC approval.
	1934-D 50C	MS66	PCGS 82292242	Gem	$395	Oregon Trail Commemorative, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Gem Original Surfaces, Accurately Graded. Oregon Trail commemoratives were issued from 1926 through 1939. 1934 Denver strikes have a tiny mintage of 7,006 pieces and are very difficult to locate in MS66 or better grade levels. This superb gem MS66 offers crisp frosty cartwheel luster along with transparent gold patina. Eye appeal is high and should please the most selective collector. Housed in new PCGS 30th Anniversary Old Green Holder and worth of a CAC attempt.
	1937 50C	MS66+	PCGS 34804283	Gem	$900	Antietam Civil War Battle Commemorative, Superb Gem Original, Old Mint Holder Toning, Accurately Graded. The 1937 Antietam Civil War half dollar commemorative is popular with collectors. The original mintage was 50,028 coins although 32,000 were melted as unsold. Therefore the surviving mintage distributed to collectors is only 18,028. Most surviving examples will grade in the MS63 to MS66 range. This offering is well above average with old mintage holder paper toning that is quite evident on the reverse. Frosty cartwheel luster is brilliant and swirling when viewed under a light source. A superior example that is fairly graded as MS66+ and approved by CAC. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.
	1938 50C	MS66+	PCGS 36455936	Gem	$545	1938 New Rochelle, Superb Gem, Heavily Frosted Surfaces, Shimmering Cartwheels, Old Paper Mount Peripheral Gold. An eye catching New Rochelle offering with shimmering frosty cartwheels. Peripheral copper-gold nicely framed the center obverse while the reverse is more heavily toned. Hammered strike adds to the overall eye appeal. Surfaces are completely unabraded and so well preserved. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder and handpicked for GFRC inventory due to its attractiveness.
	1946 50C	MS66	NGC Fatty 167917004	Gem	$295	Booker T Washington, Superb Gem Original, Rose-Gold and Aquamarine Patina, Incredible Preservation State . A magnificent 1946 Booker T. Washinton commemorative housed in pristine NGC Fatty holder to consider. A superb gem example with strictly original surfaces. Obverse is covered with rich rose-gold and aquamarine colors while the reverse glows with fiery rose-gold when any light source is added. CAC approval is icing on the cake. For collectors who desire wildly toned coins.
	1904 G$20	MS62	NGC 4760481009	Choice	$2100	Choice Original, Frosty Luster, Minimally Abraded for Grade. A hand selection 1904 Liberty $20 double eagle with frosty luster and mininally abraded surfaces at the assigned grade level. A quality numismatic and bullion gold acquisition. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
