Liberty Seated Dollars
	1842	AU50	NGC 6842994010	Choice	$1125	New November 30! Steely Fields, Reflective Luster, Silver-Gray Patina. One of the least populated GFRC price list is that of Seated dollars given the fact that truly original examples are so difficult to locate. The TPG has been lenient for years in what they are willing to holder resulting in few meeting my standards. This new 1842 Seated dollar appeared at the FUN show and was immediately added to inventory. A silver-gray patina is present on both sides with bright light inspection revealing reflective luster from lightly mirrored fields. The obverse presentation remains consistent under a bright light, while the reverse exhibits an orange-gold transition that is quite pretty. The surfaces have a few scattered ticks that are expected for a coin of this size during time in circulation. Housed in new large font NGC holder. Please note that the images tend to amplify some background red hues which are not present on the coin.
	1846	MS62	NGC 5742416006	Choice	$3350	Superbly Preserved, Rose-Gray Obverse Patina, Pristine Steely Fields, Fully Struck. GFRC Price Reduction. An attractive and well preserved 1846 Seated dollar that warrants attention. Steely fields issue notable reflectance under angled lighting. This a fully choice example with intermixed mottled aquamarine, rose, and gray shades on the obverse while the reverse sports patches of olive surrounded by midnight blues. Fields are essentially unabraded and most pleasing during a 10x inspection. Worthy of a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Housed in new large font NGC holder. Please note that the images emphasize greenish shades while the coin in hand will exhibit strong rose tones.
	1849	AU50	NGC 3476133004	Choice	$1350	New December 1! Semi-Scarce Date, Crusty Original, Thick Gray Patina, Emerald Collection. With a mintage of only 62,600, the 1849 Seated dollar issue falls into the scarce category and ranks with the 1840 and 1841 issues in terms of challenge. One must also consider the excessive amount of less than original examples that will find their way into TPG holders when considering this crusty choice lot. Steely fields are noted on both sides and as expected for an unmolested survivor. Under a bright light, steely reflectivity is seen though the thick patina does mute a portion of the radiance. The rims are entirely unabraded while the surfaces exhibit a minimal amount of contact marks given the size of this silver piece. Using a 10x to view silver dollars can sometimes be seen as too excessive... Bottomline, this is a quality example of a tough date that will fit nicely into a circulated Seated dollar set. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1865	PR64CAM	PCGS 49988981	Gem	$10500	New January 21! Gem Original Civil War Era Proof Dollar, Brilliantly Reflective Mirrors, Super Eye Appeal. Only 500 proof 1865 dated Seated dollars were struck that year with both the obverse and reverse being lightly die doubled. On the obverse, doubling is evident on Liberty's low drapery above the base. On the reverse, UNITED is die doubled at the tops of the letters. This GFRC-Gem rated example provides a highly intricate strike and unblemished surfaces. Bright light viewing is thoroughly pleasing as the watery mirrors a sharply reflective. Light rose hues are noted on the obverse with peripheral blues. The reverse is similarly toned with a blue border arc from 1:00 to 7:00. This gem walked up to the GFRC FUN show table and was promptly purchased from a discriminating client and certain belongs in an advanced collection. CAC has approved 9 at the PR64CAM grade with this example being at the top of the distribution for overall presentation. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. Please note that GFRC images have a rose color bias at the lower obverse and reverse that is a function of photography with a low angled sun in the sky.

	1878-S	AU58	PCGS 46767593	Choice	$1050	New January 21! Colorful Obverse Toning, Steely Luster, Undisturbed Bright Light Viewing. This FUN show new purchase prompt caught my attention in a dealer wholesale box and is now being offered. Sure, 1878-S is a common date, but the preservation is what this lot is all about. Both sides are steely reflective under a bright light with undisturbed viewing of the fields and luster. The obverse is colorfully toned with an orange arc at the base and blues at the top border. Orange-gold is noted on the reverse with particularly strong cartwheels. This is a superior AU58 that should go to CAC. Fairly priced. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2015-2020) holder.
	1878-S	AU55	CACG 957411932	Gem	HOLD $950	New January 21! Gem at Grade, Incredible Natural Eye Appeal, JUST BUY IT NOW. OK, let's get to the heart of the matter. A JUST BUY IT NOW shout out is necessary to bring attention to an incredibly well preserved 1878-S Trade dollar. I've handled my share of trade dollars and this FUN show purchase is amazingly original and will please the most demanding collector. Ideal as a type piece given the coin gray surfaces that harbor golden shades at the peripheries. Steely luster is how a trade dollar should look with vibrant cartwheels that are consistent with Mint State examples. We know that CACG grading is very conservative with this lot being a poster child. The first person on this coin is sure to be pleased. CAC price guide is $800 with AU58 at $1100. The offer price is a no-brainer. Housed in new CACG holder with grading standards consistent with or stricter than the CAC stickering service.
