	1903	MS62	NGC 1606799008	Choice	$560	New September 10! LA Purchase, McKinley, Frosty Luster, Orange-Gold Coloring, Bart Chapman Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction. Prior to the days of mass media and instant communication, international expositions served as the best way to see the whole world at once. A farmer living in Missouri could never afford a voyage around the entire world, but visiting the World's Fair in St. Louis, perhaps a couple counties away, was a definite possibility. Attending countries put their best foot forward to showcase their commerce and culture, and the creation of U.S. commemorative coins to mark the event was no surprise. This piece honored the recently assassinated President McKinley, similar to the situation with the Kennedy half dollar in 1964. This coin exhibits warm orange-gold color with occasionally copper shading on both sides. Just 17,500 were struck, many of which entered circulation after being eventually spent by World's Fair attendees. This piece shows minimal handling and is a pleasant exception. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert.

Production of one-dollar gold pieces fell drastically following the onset of the Civil War and never truly recovered.

This is a GFRC-Choice example that offers partially mirrored fields that become reflective under a bright light. Coloration is a honey green-gold from original surfaces.

However, a careful inspection of this VP-001, from the the Oregon Beaver Colleftion, revealed all four digits being repunched lower and to the left. Interestingly, PCGS has yet to recognize what is an obvious double date occurence while NGC does. This example is accurately graded with a full obverse strike while the reverse has typical center weakness. Coloration is a pleasing honey green-gold with some orange at the right viewing angle. Surfaces are nicely preserved with only a few scattered marks in the lower right obverse field requiring mention. Housed in new large font NGC holder with VP-001 variety attribution on the label.

	1854-O	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.

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.

Regardless of mintage of only 3,600 pieces, GFRC is pleased to be offering three examples of the 1868 quarter eagle as released from an old time collection. This is a partially mirrored example with sharp reflectance on both sides. When viewing the GFRC images, please note that the coin is tilted in its NGC holder resulting in a top to bottom color gradient. The overall coloration is a consistent yellow gold. GFRC has assigned a Choice quality rating as the light field abrasions are consistent with the certified grade. A 10x review notes a complete strike with fully detailed eagle feathers and talons along with bold lower hair curls on the obverse. This lot was submitted to CAC and was not approved. Regardless, I like the coin and believe that it is the best of the three being offered. How often do $2.5 gold specialists have an opportunity to review three examples of this date in nearly identical grades? Housed in NGC 14 (2003-2004) holder.
	1868	MS60	NGC 3193590004	Original	$2750	New September 10! Low Mintage Post Civil War Issue, Partially Mirrored, Reflective Luster, Honey-Gold.

	1868	AU58	NGC 3386564002	Choice	$2450	Low Mintage Philadelphia Date, Partially Mirrored, Rich Honey-Gold Coloration, Choice and Rare.

Case in point in the 1868 $2.5 quarter eagle with a mintage of only 3,600. CAC has approved ten in all grades with seven at the AU58 level and a single MS62 certified example being finer. Offered today is one of the AU58s that is a real sweetheart. Let's start with partially mirrored fields on both sides and the sharp reflective luster that is activated under a bright light. The overall coloration is a pleasing rich honey-gold. The strike is 100% complete with finely detail center hair curls and eagle feathers at the wing tips. Two lines are noted in the lower right obverse field which are amplified against a mirrored surface backdrop. The CDN price guide is $1700 and jumps to $3250 at the "MS60" level.

	1870	MS61	PCGS 13232620	Choice	$7500	New September 16! Very Scarce Date, Superb Eye Appeal, Mirrored Fields, Sharp Reflective Luster, Choice Overall. Honestly, I though this luscious 1870 $2.5 Liberty gold piece would bean at CAC. This is a very scarce date with only four finer at PCGS. The overall eye appeal is outstanding as the fields are heavily mirrored with sharp reflectance radiating under angled lightly. The overall strike is complete with intricately detailed eagle devices and well defined star center points and hair curls. The strike is so sharp that circular lathe lines can be seen behind Liberty's eye and the scroll lettering. Coloration is a honey green-gold . As with any coin having mirrored fields any lines or rub will be amplified as is the case here and the potential reason for a rejection at CAC. The GFRC images accurately illustrate the eye appeal which leads me to issue a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. CAC has only approved seven total and a single MS61 with none finer This lot is so close IMHO and warrants strong consideration as the advanced collector will not be disappointed. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

The strike is essentially complete with only a touch of weakness at the eagle's left leg feathers and wing tip. The obverse strike is hammered with circular lathe lines seen throughout the center motif. Mintage is only 4,520 with eight certified at the offered grade.

Strike is 100% complete with fully detailed stars, hair curls, and reverse motifs. A few wispy lines are seen are both sides both none of any consequence. The CAC census presently stands at 15 with none certified at CACG. The population report indicates three at the AU58 level followed by three in "62" at triple the premium. Given the low availability when this choice, we have priced this lot at the CDN CAC MS60 guide level. Worthy of special consideration. Housed in NGC 25 (2008) holder with CAC approval.

	1874	AU58	NGC 1578506007	Original	$1150	New September 10! Scarce in All Grades, Semi-Proof Like, Sharp Reflectance, Yellow Green-Gold.

The Liberty $2.5 gold series is replete with low mintage dates that would bring huge premiums if in smaller sliver denominaitons. The 1874 Philadephia issue is an example with only 3,920 struck. Survivors with completely unmolested or improved surfaces are few and fae between. The fact that CAC has only approved 17 in all grade should give pause as to the important of this offering. This is an undisputedly original speciment with lightly crusted green-gold surfaces and minimal marks. The GFRC images accurate illustrate the surfaces and overal strike which is adequate but not hammered. Priced at the CDN CAC price guide value of $1,350. Housed in NGC 25 (2008) holder with CAC approval.

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.

The 1884 Philadelphia issue is well known as being a very scarce date in Mint State with only 1,950 struck. This offering is yet another release from an old time collection that has been off the market for several decades. The bright light eye appeal is terrific given the brilliant steely-frosted radiance and vibrant cartwheels. Coloration is a consistent honey-gold with no copper spots or any other visual distractions. Adding to the eye appeal is a hammered strike with high relief hair curls and fully detailed eagle feathers and talons. Faint wispy hairlines are seen in the fields but of no consequence. This lot has been to CAC with the hope of a green bean, but it was not to be. Regardless, a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation is being issue as this is a superb example for the grade. Remember that it is important to buy the coin and not the holder and stickers. Housed in NGC 17 (2004-2008) holder.

The images accurately illustrated the overall eye appeal. The strike is completed and the fields are close to pristine.

Astute quarter eagle collectors may want to take a shot at this piece as I'm confidence that you will be pleased upon arrival. Housed in PCGS Gen 2.2 (1989-1990) old green holder.
	1884	AU58	NGC 3601093018	Choice	$1750	New September 11! Semi-Prooflike, Scarce Low Mintage Date, Honey-Gold, Choice Surfaces. 1884 Philadelphia strikes were limited to only 1,950 pieces rendering this date as very scarce to rare in all grades. GFRC is fortunate to be offering two examples from an old time collection. This AU58 certified lot features mirrored fields as is typical for the issue. Under a 10x, this is light wear in the fields. Coloration is honey-gold while the strike is essentially complete with only the left eagle leg feathers not being completely defined. Under a bright light, the mirrored radiate a significant amount of reflective brilliance. The offer price is most reasonable given the tiny mintage and lack of availability. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1886	MS63	PCGS 08703078	Choice	HOLD $3900	New September 27! Low Mintage Date, Steely-Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold, Fully Choice. The 1886 Philadelphia $2.5 gold issue saw only 4,000 piece struck with most survivors being certified within the AU grades. The PCGS population summary reports 91 example in all AU grades. In Mint State, the population peaks at the MS62 level with a sharp drop in full choice to near-gem. This newly consigned lot is accurately graded and fully choice with a trip to CAC but without scoring a green bean. The submission basis were the undisturbed fields that are lightly mirrored with the resulting reflective luster under a bright light along with swirling cartwheels. A fully executed strike on a honey-gold planchet further adds to the charm. Given my belief that this lot was consistent with CAC approval standards, the premium nature should be apparent without a premium offer price. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

Though 1887 Philadelphia struck $2.5 gold mintage increased to 6,160 pieces, this date is considered underrated and just as rare as the prior low mintage issues of 1882 through 1884. This lot offers a steely-frosted surface finish with some "mirrored" like reflectivity under a bright light with embedded sparkling frost. The cartwheel action is vibrant. Light field and surface wear is evident during 10x reviewed. Please note that the reverse rim is quite degraded with a crumbled appearance from 8:00 to 12:00. The offer price appears to be quite reasonable for the date's scarcity. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert that is probably from the 2008-2009 era.
	1887	AU55	NGC 3415446010	Original	$950	New September 27! Low Mintage Issue, Mirrored Fields, Brilliant Reflective Luster, Honey Green-Gold. With a mintage of 6,160, the 1887 quarter eagle ranks with its 1880s peers in term of relative availability with pricing premium moving up at the Mint State grades. This newly consigned AU58 specimen offers mirrored fields and sharp reflectivity with angled lighting. Light rub in the fields is noted along with a few blemishes on the reverse. The strike is fully executed from what appears to be a fresh set of dies. Coloration is a honey green-gold. Offered at current CDN Bid as prices have been moving for pre-1933 collector gold as the bullion component continues to make new highs. Housed in NGC 25 (2008) holder.
	1887	AU50	PCGS 10398317	Original	$750	New September 11! Underrated Date, Lightly Mirrored, Honey Green-Gold, Well Struck. The deeper honey green-gold coloration on this 1887 Philadelphia struck $2.5 gold piece is pleasing and consistent with my expectation for originality. The date is reported as underrated by David Akers with its availability consistent with early dates from the 1880s. This example exhibits lightly mirrored fields under a bright light with moderate cartwheels. Obverse surface chatter is noted during 10x review and could have resulted in a net grading situation as the wear is not considerable for the certified grade. Yet another offering from an old time collection that has returned to the market place. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	1888	MS65	NGC 3514764004	Gem	$5250	New September 27! Near Finest Known, Richly Frosted Gem, CAC Approved.

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.
	1888	MS64	NGC 4116837002	Gem	$2100	New September 3! 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. Housed in a new NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
	1888	MS63	NGC 2572945003	Choice	$1200	New September 11! Rich Frosted Luster, Deep Honey-Gold, Choice Surfaces, CAC Approved. Another late date $2.5 Liberty gold release from an old time collection that warrants a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Why? The thick frosted luster is thoroughly pleasing as is the classic honey-gold coloration. Under a bright light, the frosted radiance takes on a sparkling texture. This is a well preserved example with just a touch of obverse field chatter to the right of the hair curls that was captured in the certified grade. Otherwise, the visual presentation is that of a higher grade. The CAC census for the date currently stands at 67 stickered with 38 finer. Priced slightly below the CDN CAC price guide. Housed in NGC 25 (2008) holder with CAC approval.
	1895	MS64	PCGS 38596965	Choice	$2750	Eye Appeal of Higher Grade, Near-Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. 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.
	1899	MS63	PCGS 47029030	Choice	$885	Glowing Satiny Luster, Honey-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Oregon Beaver Collection.

How I enjoy handling crusty Mint State U.S. gold with surfaces that are consistent with this Scenic Lakeview 1906 $2.5. Sure, it is a common date but the visuals are what are important here. Coloration is a honey-gold surrounding by deeper peripheral copper-gold. Bold motifs from a complete strike add to the charm. This piece has the "look" and will certainly please the new owner at the offer price. I have no idea if this piece has been to CAC. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
	1906	MS63	PCGS 43773788	Choice	$825	Rich Honey-Gold, Frosted Luminous, Near-Gem Original, Scenic Lakeview Collection. GFRC images should well convey the attractive nature of this 1906 $2.5 gold piece. Rich honey-gold is complemented by brilliant frosted luster. 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. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	1907	MS64	PCGS 46182798	Choice	$890	Brilliant Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold, Osprey Collection.

$2.5 Indian
	1908	MS64+	PCGS 42227977	Gem	$3100	New October 10! 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.

Since sporting a mintage of 293,900, the 1888-S $5 gold date is often treated as a "common date" in lower grades though one could argue that the date is scarce in all grades as a starting point.

Only three examples have been stickered along with this CACG holdered specimen. The CDN CAC report indicates only one finer at MS64 without pricing guidance.

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.

	1895-S	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.

	1901-S	MS65	NGC 6517285006	Gem	$2150	Luster Bomb, Brilliant Reflectance, Honey Gold. Yep, 1901-S $5 half eagles are certainly common, however I could not pass up buying this luster bomb gem at the Summer Baltimore show. Dazzling metallic luster explodes under bright light and even has me taking second and third looks before I move on. I'm calling a JUST BY IT NOW recommendation and believe the new buyer will be thrilled. Yes, this piece does not have a green bean and I'm uncertain if having been to Far Hills, since changed to the Bedminster address for the CAC Stickering business. A few of the tiniest lines are seen on the obverse and could be the limiting factor for a superb gem certification. Trust me on this one. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1905	MS64+	NGC 6331828001	Gem	$1500	Superb Type Offering, Granular Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Coloration, Osprey Collection. The 1905 $5 gold issue is ideal for type since there is no date premium associated with a mintage of 302,200. This date is considered slightly scarcer than "common" for those who keep track of gold date rarity. The Osprey Collection has hit a homerun with this example purchased at the Pittsburgh ANA. Tightly textured frosted luster is softly brilliant and thoroughly pleasing under a light source. Coloration is a uniform honey-gold with "dirt" free surfaces. Strike is bold and complete. The MS64+ grade is technically accurate as there is scattered field chatter, however the overall eye appeal won the day at CAC. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	1907	MS63+	PCGS 81886508	Choice	$1000	Greenish and Orange-Gold, Frosted Luster, Complete Strike, CAC Approval, Retro Old Green Holder.

CAC approval validates the originality.
$5 Indian
	1909	MS64	PCGS 46569876	Gem	$4150	Better Philadephia Date, Rich Honey-Gold, Sparkling Frosted Luster. Sparkling frosted luster is the highlight of this gem 1909 half eagle.
