	1850	EF45	raw	Choice	$245	Second Year Issue, Choice Original, Fully Strike, Good Value. Second year of issue with a mintage of 481,953 at the Philadelphia mint. This surviving example offers choice original surfaces that are entirely blemish free. Rims are also mark free while overall strike is excellent. A date that is scarcer than 1851, 1852, 1853 and 1854 counterparts. Should not last long at the asking price.
	1851-O	MS61	NGC 3883990001	Choice	$750	Mirrored Fields, Eye Appeal, Choice Original, Better New Orleans Strike.. A popular Type 1 design strike given the opportunity to own a New Orleans mint issue at slightly above a comparable Philadelphia issue. Mintage is low at 290,000. Fields are mirrored and sharply reflective under a light source. This piece is properly graded at MS61, on a technical basis, due to some obverse hairlines but in hand eye appeal is that of a higher grade. This is why this 1851-O gold dollar was added to GFRC inventory. Housed in newer NGC holder with some plastic lines that appear on the GFRC image. Believe me, this is a nice example for the grade.

A gorgeous Type 1 design struck in 1853 at the Philadelphia mint. Obviously a common date given a mintage of slightly over 4,000,000. The challenge for collectors is locating a perfectly original example that is fully strike and had old time copper gold coloring. The Winesteven consignor is a most selective collector and has made a point of only adding superb examples, for the TPG grade, to his collection. This 1853 gold dollar is a no question gem with every minute die frost detail being transferred to the coin. Mint frost is omnipresent on the obverse and surrounds the legend and the 1 digit on the reverse. An ideal example for an advanced gold dollar date and mintmark set.

Mintage of only 15,000 with low survival rate. Surfaces are strictly original and choice. Classic copper gold patina covers both sides. Noted United States gold experts comments on this date as follows, "Reasonably scarce as a date but extraordinarily difficult to find better than EF. Possibly the most underrated date in high grade in the entire gold dollar series." This lovely example is one of those EF graded survivors.

Let's start with a tiny mintage of 5,000 pieces. Then there is conservative grading and CAC approval at the MS63 grade level.

Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.

$2.5 Classic Head
	1834 Small Head	AU55	PCGS 1517810004	Choice	$1350	Initial Year of Classic Head Design Type, Small Head Obverse, Mirrored Fields, Choice Original, Accurately Graded, Missouri Collection. A choice original example of the popular Classic Head design type for the $2.5 quarter eagle denomination. 1834 brought the transition from the Capped Bust design on quarter eagles to comply with the new Coinage Act of June 28, 1834, which reduced the weight of the quarter eagles to prevent melting. 1834 brought two distinctly different obverse designs; the Small Head and larger Bobby Head. The example, from the Missouri Collection is the Small Head design. Surfaces are choice with minimal abraisons and just light wear. Bright light viewing reveals reflective cartwheel luster from mirrored fields. Strike is well executed and the overall visual presentation is quite pleasing.

This is obviously an exceptional Classic Head example with CAC approval that validates what my eyes see. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval. Please give this lovely 1837 $2.5 quarter eagle offering special consideration.
$2.5 Liberty
	1843-O Large Date	AU50	PCGS 20254221	Original	$1750	Large Date, Rare New Orleans Issue, Original Surfaces, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. 1843-O Large Date quarter eagle strikes are the second rarest New Orleans quarter in terms of its overall rarity and in the top three for the series when considering higher graded. This is a no question special offering at the AU50 grade level. Most examples come weakly struck and this piece is typical in terms of strike. Surfaces are known to be abraided but this example is essentially blemish free and attractive. Housed in older PCGS blue label holder with standard ring insert. A top quality offering from the Osprey Collection that deserves special attention.
	1847	AU55	PCGS 81735764	Original	$925	Scarce and Underrated Date, Low Mintage, Original Surfaces, Residual Luster, Accurately Graded. A scarce and underrated date with mintage of only 29,814. AU55 is the last "affordable grade" before graded population numbers drop quickly with resulting rapid price increases. PCGS has graded only 13 in AU55 and another 5 at AU58. This 1847 Philadelphia strike is strictly original with residual luster. Accurately graded and housed 2015 style PCGS holder. An important early date Liberty design offering to consider.
	1851	EF45	raw	Choice	$300	Early Date, Choice Original, Copper Gold Patina, Southern Maine Collection. An early date $2.5 quarter eagle that has been well preserved while in the Southern Maine Collection for several decades. Surfaces are choice and covered with uniform copper gold patina. Strike is typical for the issue. A bold die crack connects the bottom of date digits to the nearly denticles and so reminds me of the 1852 F-110b Seated dime die break location. Reverse has a well hidden diagonal line in the shield that is mentioned for 100% accuracy. A nice example that is fairly priced.
	1852	MS62	PCGS 34114532	Choice	$435	Choice Original, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Fully Struck, Conservative Grading, Southern Maine Collection. This Southern Maine gold piece is freshly graded at PCGS and just back into GFRC inventory. I had originally graded this lovely 1852 quarter eagle as an MS62 but the grading gurus have an AU58 opinion. Regardless, the surfaces are so choice with swirling frosty luster. Strike is completed impressed and adds to overall eye appeal. Conservative grading on this choice original example. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Off the market for several decades.
	1852	MS62	NGC 3701358001	Choice	$650	Early Liberty Quarter Eagle Gold, Choice Original, Reflective Cartwheel Luster, Die Polish Lines, Accurately Graded. Reflective cartwheel luster and a bold obverse strike are the highlights of this lovely 1852 quarter eagle. This lovely gold piece performs well under a bright light else I would not have added to GFR C inventory. Fields are lightly mirrored with a host of die polish lines on both obverse and reverse. Blemishes are to a minimum for the assigned MS62 grade level. This example was a no brainer CAC approval due to strict originalty and overall preservation state. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert with CAC approval.
	1854	MS63+	PCGS 33608476	Gem	$1750	Gem Original, Classic Orange Gold Patina, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Well Struck, Heavy Die Clashing. Mintage of slightly under 600,000. The 1854 example is worthy of a gem quality rating at the assigned MS63+ grade level as so well preserved and well balanced. Frosty cartwheel luster and old time orange gold patina are immediately evident when first viewed under a light source. Dies are heavily clashed leading to some star like lighting effects along the die obverse clash lines. At first, I surmised that die bulging could be the cause rather than die clashing. Strike is 98% executed with only the lower left facing eagle leg lacking fully defined feathers. Blemish wise, there is nothing to discuss. Graded MS63+ with only two at that grade level and no auction records per CoinFacts. At the MS64 grade level, a reasonable conclusion for this gem piece, the PCGS price guide jumps to $2850. Something to think about given the retail asking price. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval.

A popular 1866 San Francisco strike that is perfectly original with copper gold patina. Mintage was limited to 38,900 with most specimens entering circulation. PCGS population report indicates only 8 graded at the AU53 level and 9 additional at AU55. At the AU55 grade level, prices start to move up quickly for the date.

The 1869 date sports a mintage of 4,320 with only 7 at the MS61 level followed by five in MS62, four in MS63 and the finest being an MS64 example. Ok, so a very low mintage is potential attraction coupled with few graded at the mint state level. But the real story is the eye appeal. This is a gorgeous collector gold piece with fiery orange gold patina, lightly mirrored fields and crisp cartwheel luster. Dan White and I looked at many gold pieces during the Denver ANA with this example being one of our favorities in terms of value. The future buyer will definitely be pleased. Housed in newer NGC holder and yet another great offering from the Osprey Collection.

	1914-D	MS64+	PCGS 81268503	Gem	$4950	Gem Original, Radiate Satiny Luster, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. A gem for the assigned MS64+ grade. 1914 Denver strikes are the third rarest issue of the Indian quarter eagle series with 1914 and 1911-D being rarer. The Mint State population drops off quickly after MS-63 with substantial price jumps to $16K at the MS65 grade level. This probably explains why PCGS was so cautious in assigning full MS65 grade level and turning this piece into a five figure numismatic item. So here we are with assigned MS64+ grade and CAC approval. If one understands statistics and gaussian distributions, then there is a reasonable probability that this piece is equivalent to a portion of those presently graded MS65 and selling for double the GFRC asking price. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder and another superb offering from the Osprey Collection.
	1925-D	MS64	NGC Fatty 312131004	Gem	$900	Gem Original, Old Time Conservative Grading. Mintage of 578,000 at the Denver mint and the last $2.5 Indians to be produced. Once again, let's consider the 1925-D issue's background as explained by David Akers. He states, "Almost always having very good to excellent mint lustre but the striking quality varies greatly; some are very unevenly struck while others are well struck. Dies seem to have been a problem with this issue, and many specimens were clearly struck from buckled or deteriorated dies. The mint mark is usually a little weak but well defined. There are some specimens, however, where the mintmark is so weak that it is nearly invisible. The color is typically a rose tinted gold but there are also coppery colored specimens as well as ones with green and yellow gold shades. The surfaces are frosty with little or no granularity." In light of these observation, this example was carefully examined with a 10x loupe. Surfaces are frosty with brilliant cartwheel luster. Strike is complete and uniform with some minor die bulging below the Indian's chin and behind E PLU(RI)BUS. Overall eye appeal is superior and warrants a gem quality rating. Housed in NGC fatty holder with CAC approval. An offering for collectors attempt a type set with preference for all TPG holders and CAC approval.

As a date, the 1838 is more rare than the 1834 Plain 4, 1835, or 1836 but not quite as scarce as the 1837. 1838 also saw the introduction of branch mint production at Charlotte and Dahlonega. This surviving example is well struck and offers frosty cartwheel luster. Surfaces are essentially blemish free and important considering the large amount of open field space above the smaller eagle device. A very pleasing AU58 graded specimen that would be ideal for a type set. Housed in new large font NGC holder. An important better United States gold offering from the Osprey Collection.
$5 Liberty
	1846D/D	AU53	NGC 3706339009	Choice	$5200	Rare Repunched Mintmark Reverse, Copper Gold Patina, Choice Original Surfaces, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. I can't overstate the importance of this offering! The 1846-D over D $5 half eagle repunched mintmatk is typically found in VF through EF grades and becomes rare in AU with many surviving examples being less than choice. The second D punch is located up into the olive branch and, on higher grade examples, is visible to naked eye. Being included in major pricing quides and being recognized by the major grading services has increased its popularity. A quick check of CAC population report indicates only 15 total approved in all grades. In mint state, these is a lone MS61 approved specimen with 2 at AU55 and 4 at AU53. This population is inadequate for serving broad based collector demand. The offered example sports old time copper gold patina that screams originality. Obverse strike is complete while only the arrow feathers and right claw showing weakness on the reverse. This piece is blemish free and wholesome. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. CAC approval captures the strict originality and overall eye appeal for Dahlonega mint issue. Again, an important offering from the Osprey Collection.

A lovely 1855 $5 half eagle offering from the Port Matilda Collection. Dave Akers relates the following concerning this date in the $5 series, "Like many other Philadelphia Mint Half Eagles of the 1840's and 1850's the 1855 is often considered to be a relatively common date. It certainly is not, however, and while not exactly a great rarity in the lower grades, it is rare in AU or uncirculated condition." This example offers lightly mirrored fields and reflective luster. Blemishes are minimal. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with edge ring insert and ready for a home in a new collection.
	1855-C	AU55	PCGS 05934059	Choice	$6600	Rare AU Grade Charlotte Half Eagle, Choice Original Surfaces, Rare Prooflike Fields, Accurately Graded, Vicksburg Collection. GFRC is so pleased to offer an 1855 Charlotte gold $5 half eagle in rare AU grade coupled with infrequently seen prooflike fields. Noted United States gold expert, Doug Winter, states the following in PCGS Price Guide concerning the rarity of the 1855 Charlotte date in AU or better, "This date becomes scarce in properly graded AU50 and quite rare in the higher AU grades, especially with natural color and original surfaces. In Uncirculated it remains an extremely rare coin. I am aware of just four or five, including a Gem..." Winter then goes on to discuss luster characteristic for Charlotte 1855 gold and states that nearly all will be seen with thick frosty luster and "A few are known with slightly reflective prooflike fields." Offered here is one of the few known with mirrored fields. Mintage is a low 39,788 pieces. PCGS populations report indicates twelve graded AU55 and seven at the AU58 level along with a last auction appearence taking place during 2010 for those graded AU55. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with no CAC attempt. A CAC is definitely warranted as I believe this piece will sticker due to the strict originality and mirrored fields. An outstanding Charlotte gold offering from the Vicksburg Collection.

A few AU coins are known but only one 1874-CC catalogued as uncirculated has ever been offered at public auction." Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. CAC approval is important validation for this choice 1874-CC half eagle.
	1878-CC	VF20	PCGS 28527083	Original	HOLD $3500	Challenging Carson City Liberty $5 Gold Date, Honest Wear, Original Surfaces, Accurately Graded.

United States gold specialists indicate that the 1854 Large Date double eagle probably accounts for less than 10% of the original mintage of 757,899 piece.
