The 1852-O has the second lowest mintage of any Type 1 New Orleans mint gold dollar and is also the second rarest. Locating choice examples in higher uncirculated grades is very difficult. The CAC population report validates this fact with only three approved at MS63 level and three finer. Rich frosty luster is the highlight of this choice original offering. Surfaces are essentially abrasion free with a few very faint wispy hairlines seen under bright light viewing and nothing else. Obverse die is heavily cracked with die cracks from 9:00 to Liberty's nose and another from star to the bonnet. Coloring is natural medium green-gold.

	1853	MS63	PCGS 6649024	Choice	HOLD $565	CAC, Choice Original, Mark Mattox Estate (Alexandria Collection).

A "Wow" Type 2 Indian Princess $1 gold piece that warrants a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Brilliant yellow-gold luster sparkles during a wholesale buying bright light inspection and screamed "add me to inventory." Strike is completed executed from aging dies. In particular, excessive obverse die pitting surrounds the obverse legend. I can just imagine the die steel flaking away with successive strikes. Housed in older NGC holder with standard ring insert and CAC approval. The NGC label reads TYPE 2 AU58. The AU58 CAC market is hot due to registry set fever; I don't expect this near-gem to be around for long.

Die clashing is obvious on both sides. Strike features the typical weakness on 1(8)55. The market for AU58 CAC coins is presently active and best to not wait long when nice Type 2's appear.

	1874	MS63	PCGS 82153022	Choice	$650	Choice Original, Mark Mattox Estate (Alexandria Collection). This type III one-dollar gold piece rounds out the Mark Mattox collection of gold dollar varieties. The portrait of Liberty on the type III piece is quite similar to that of the three-dollar gold piece, while the reverse cereal wreath is closed, rather than open as on the three-dollar coin. Luster is above average on the obverse, which exhibits clash marks, quite typical in the one-dollar gold series. A few reverse marks are found near the top of the wreath, but the surfaces are original and the eye appeal is CAC-endorsed. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 holder (2015-date).
	1874	AU58	PCGS 81478630	Original	$320	Orange-Rose Gold Patina, Frosty Luster, Fully Struck, Osprey Collection. A distinctive appearance with colorful orange-rose gold patina.

	1886	MS63	NGC 3666729006	Gem	$925	Tiny Mintage, Choice Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Super Eye Appeal, Conservative Grading . What is there not to like about this 1886 gold dollar? Let's start with a tiny mintage of 5,000 pieces. Then there is conservative grading and CAC approval at the MS63 grade level. How about frosty cartwheel luster that just radiates off the obverse and reverse surfaces? Bottomline, this is a gem example at the assigned NGC grade and worthy of the asking price. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1887	MS62	PCGS 4599516	Choice	$625	Tiny Mintage, Superior Frosty Luster, Orange-Gold Coloring, Conservative Grading. Regardless of the low 7,500 piece mintage, the 1887 Type 3 date can be found without much searching. Collector challenge is locating the best possible candidate that offers superior eye appeal at the target grade level. Enter this lovely PCGS MS62 graded example that was conservatively graded and without CAC attempt. Brilliant frosty luster radiates from both sides and appears to be consistent with a higher grade. Strike is hammered with haloing surrounding the reverse devices. A near-gem at the assigned grade level. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.1 old green holder.
$2.5 Classic Head
	1834 HM-1	AU55	NGC 4187658002	Original	$1450	Attractive Classic Head Type, Near-Choice Original Surfaces, Lightly Mirrored Fields, Residual Relfective Luster, Green-Gold Coloring, Oregon Beaver Collection.

A new twin offering to the NGC AU50 CAC #3382643-004 piece in inventory. Though the serial numbers are not consecutive, one could conclude that both pieces came from the same original collection.
	1839-O HM-2	AU58	NGC 4631728015	Choice	$9750	Rotated Reverse Die, Copper-Gold Patina, Better Date, Frosty Luster, Osprey Collection. Important one year New Orleans branch mint gold type! The first year of $2.5 quarter eagle production at the New Orleans resulted in only 17,781 strikes. As a result, the date is very scarce in AU58 and low Mint State grades. Deep yellow-gold surfaces are highlighted with reddish accents, especially on the obverse. Strike is complete with heavy reverse die cracks. This date is well known for the 180 degree medallic reverse alignment as is the case with this offering. Housed in new large font NGC holder with edge view insert. NGC label has MINT ERROR, ROTATED REVERSE designation. An important Classic Head branch mint gold offering from the Osprey Collection.
	1839-O	AU55	NGC 3751210002	Original	$4775	Historically Important Offering, Medium Greenish-Gold Coloring, Soft Luster, Normal Coin Turn Die Alignment. 1839 New Orleans strikes were limited to only 17,781 pieces. This date is historically significant as the first gold coin produced at the New Orleans mint along with being the only New Orleans quarter eagle with a mintmark located on the obverse. This results in the date being a popular one year type. The Osprey Collection is back with a pleasing NGC AU55 graded example that featured medium greenish-gold coloring and soft frosty luster. The reverse is often seen in medallic coin turn (180 degree rotation) but this offering has regular coin turn die alignment. Strike is typical along with surfaces being completely unabraded. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. A lovely quarter eagle type survivor from a limited mintage.
$2.5 Liberty
	1840-C	AU58	PCGS 84763352	Choice	$7000	New August 6! First Year Chalotte Mint Issue, Semi-Prooflike, Fully Struck, Oregon Beaver Collection. Reflective luster, similar to the Bass coin (also PCGS AU58), radiates from both sides. As noted by Doug Winter, this issue comes well-struck, and this piece is exceptionally so, with sharp hair curls and defined claw joints. Shading is yellow-gold, lighter in the protected areas where Mint bloom remains. The three southern Mints all struck Coronet $2.50s in this year, in addition to the Philadelphia Mint, and all four of these issues are scarce. Few uncs survive, with PCGS listing 14 in all grades combined, none higher than MS63. This piece is thus both absolutely and conditionally challenging, and will be a highlight of any quarter eagle or type gold collection. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1840-O	VF35	PCGS 34438268	Choice	$1175	Scarce First Year New Orleans Design Issue, Classic Green-Gold Patina, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. The 1840-O $2.5 quarter eagle in PCGS VF35 is not a spectacular high grade uncirculated rarity. The 1840-O quarter eagle is very scarce in VF and XF. It is estimated that 175 specimens survive in all grades with PCGS grading less than 100 coins in all grades; AU and Mint State examples are rare. This greenish -gold Type 1 example is typical of nearly all 1840-O strikes. Reverses are notorious for being weakly struck, however this example is atypical in that the fields are smooth with no distracting marks. As a scarce, problem free example of the first New Orleans minted Liberty Head $2.5 denomination, this is a coin that would fit nicely in any New Orleans $2.5 collection or in a Southern Mint type set. From the Osprey Collection. 3. As the first year of Christian Gobrecht’s new Liberty Head or Coronet design it is sought after by collectors who prefer to collect the first the year of designs. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1843-D Small D	AU58	PCGS 83550718	Original	$4250	New August 6! Small D, Semi-Prooflike, Green-Gold Coloring, Sharp Strike, Oregon Beaver Collection. Yellow-gold surfaces reveal mirrored fields and reflective luster, a characteristic noted by Doug Winter in his volume on Dahlonega gold. The strike is nicely impressed, with softness only in the eagle's left leg. PCGS has certified 13 pieces in all MS grades combined, none higher than MS63. All coins of this issue are rare, and, at the AU level, especially challenging. As a set, none of the Dahlonega quarter eagles are readily available, and this issue is no exception. Attempting a complete set would be highly ambitious, but those looking for a distinctive type coin will find one here. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with blue D.L. Hansen Collection pedigree label.
	1846D/D 7-K	EF45	PCGS 25516405	Choice	$3300	New August 17! Repunched DD, Tiny Certified Population, Yellow-Gold Coloring, Choice Original, Lizard King Collection. 1846 brought the Mexican-American War and tiny $2.5 gold mintages from the Charlotte and Dahlonega branch mints. Dahlonega quarter eagle mintage amounted to 19,303 piece. A portion of that mintage was accomplished with a broadly repunched mintmark reverse. The lower portion of previously punched D can be seen just left of the final D and immediately above the 1 in the numerator. This Lizard King offering is an earlier die state that shows significant portions of the lower part of the first D, and generally trades for a premium over the non repunched mintmark. This is a bright yellow-gold example that exhibits light, even wear over the high points. Bright light inspection reveals residual reflective luster. There are a few medium-sized field marks on the obverse. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2011-2013) holder.
	1847-D 9-N	AU53	PCGS 81417610	Original	$3250	New August 17! Scarce and Underrated Dahlonega Date, Bright Yellow Gold, Frosty Luster, Lizard King Collection. 1847 Dahlonega mintage total 15,785 pieces with a low present day survival rate. PCGS certified population is limited to thirteen pieces at the AU53 grade level. The Lizard King Collection is offering a frosty original example with yellow-gold surfaces that are modestly circulated. Mint bloom is easily seen in the protected areas. Strike is deeply impressed on both sides. Repunching is seen at the bottoms of the 4 and 7 in the date. An altogether pleasing example of the date with no serious marks or blemishes to report. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1847-O	AU53	PCGS 10814160	Choice	$900	New September 6! Early New Orleans Issue, Scarce Grade, Better than Average Strike, Green-Gold Coloring, Oakdale Collection. Any knowledgeable U.S. branch mint collector will recognize the value presented by the choice 1847 New Orleans $2.5 gold piece. Both David Akers and Doug Winter comment on how this date is badly struck with weak hair curls and lifeless reverse devices. The Oakdale Collection has consigned an above average example at the scarce AU53 grade level. GFRC has been instructed to offer the piece at $900 though CoinFacts records would suggested a higher asking price. This piece retains ample frosty luster and brings a bold strike, for the issue, to the table. Coloring is greenish-gold across choice surfaces. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with "Stecher Collection" pedigree on the label. Let's go with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as fully warranted.
	1848-D	AU53	PCGS 82299666	Original	$3350	Rare Early Dahlongega Date, Bright Yellow Gold, Frosty Luster, Well Struck, Oregon Beaver Collection. A bright yellow-gold Dahlonega specimen that is fully struck except on the reverse dentils. Rich frosty luster highlights the device including mild cartwheels under a light source. Surfaces are from of any notable abrasions and are pleasing. Mintage is a scant 13,771 pieces. Fairly graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder. An important offering from the Oregon Beaver Collection.
	1849	AU53	PCGS 81766966	Original	$1000	New August 6! Underrated Date, Rose-Gold Coloring, Residual Frosty Luster, Oregon Beaver Collection. The Gold Rush did not quite reach the Philadelphia Mint in 1849, and, while vast quantities of the yellow metal might have been available in California, transporting it to Philadelphia was a different matter. The eastern Mint struck only 23,294 quarter eagles in this year, and today PCGS has graded but 101 examples, with only 18 in all MS grades combined. This piece exhibits frosty luster over yellow-gold surfaces, with deeper shades outlining the portrait of Liberty. The strike is typical with some weakness beneath the shield. The Mint switched to smaller date punches in this year, and the 1849 now sits comfortably between the rim and bust truncation. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1850	VF35	PCGS 37621031	Choice	$440	New September 6! Early $2.5 Gold, Green-Gold Coloring, Honest Wear, CAC Approval. The lone 1850 $2.5 quarter eagle CAC approved at the VF35 grade level with one in EF40 and three in EF45. This lovely offering is the lowest graded specimen with CAC approval given how strict the criteria are for stickering early gold. Greenish-gold coloring and unmolested surfaces scream originality. Reverse strike is typical with nothing but honest wear. An ideal specimen for a lowball registry set. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. CDN CAC quide pricing is $476 as a reference.
	1850-O	AU58	NGC 176850005	Choice	$2150	New September 13! Very Underrated Choice, Brilliant Reflective Luster, Green-Gold Coloring, Scarce Grade. A scarce 1850 New Orleans $2.5 quarter eagle offering at the coveted AU58 grade level. This date is quite rate in Mint State leading to choice AU58 specimens being highly desirable. Mintage is a reasonable 84,000 for the time period with most survivors being circulated and found in EF and low AU grades. PCGS population dips quickly to thirteen certified at the AU58 level and a total of twenty pieces in all MInt State grades. Pricing increases are dramatic above the AU58 grade. The choice example features reflective luster that is most brilliant during bright light inspection. Devices have a frosty texture too. Strike quality was an ongoing issue for this date with obverse and reverse centers being notably weak. On this offering, obverse stars in the left field are weak along with the E in LIBERTY not being completely defined. The eagle wings are fully defined but neck feathers and the lower left leg lack details. This is a choice survivor that should please those assembling a set of branch mint early gold. Housed in older NGC holder with standard ring insert and CAC approval. CDN CAC guide is listed at $2310 as a reference.
	1852	MS63	PCGS 36755589	Choice	$1150	Satiny Luster, Light Greenish-Gold Coloring, Hammered Strike, Choice and Well Preserved. Ideal for type given the higher mintage. This 1852 $2.5 quarter eagle offers satiny luster along with active cartwheels. Strike is hammered with all devices fully impressed. Surfaces are unabraded with luster being the dominant factor for the assigned grade. CAC review validated the strict originality and accurate grading. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. Priced at CDN CAC guide.
	1852	MS63	ICG 3081790701	Choice	$600	New August 1! Early Date, Sharp Frosty Luster, Orange-Gold Coloring, Well Struck, Oakdale Collection. The Oakdale Collection consignor has a strong eye for deep orange-gold colored U.S. gold. Once again he locates an early $2.5 quarter eagle date with sharp brilliant luster coupled with orange gold patina. Accurately graded on a technical basis as there are a few obverse abrasions while the luster and eye appeal are of a higher grade. Housed in new ICG holder and fairly priced.
	1853	AU55	PCGS 39856803	Original	HOLD $320	New September 16! Frosty Luster, Greenish-Gold Coloring, Near-Choice, Osprey Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder. Full description shortly.
	1854-O	MS61	NGC 626260017	Original	$2050	Challenging Date and Grade, Soft Satiny Luster, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. Small mintage of 153,000 and more difficult to locate than is generally understood. This date quarter eagle is very scarce in mint sate with low PCGS populations. The offered example is strictly original with soft satiny luster and unabraided surfaces. An overall pleasing coin that is also well struck. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. Another quality Liberty gold offering from the Osprey Collection
	1855	MS62	PCGS 37378618	Choice	$1050	Thick Mint Bloom, Brilliant Luster, Greenish-Gold Patina, Choice Original Surfaces, CAC Approval.

	1855-C	Genuine	PCGS 38378737	Cleaned	$3000	New August 6! Lowest Mintage Charlotte Quarter Eagle, Green-Gold, Cleaned & Stratched, Oregon Beaver Collection. There is no substitute for rarity, as the saying goes, and this 1855-C $2.50 is nothing if not rare. As the southern deposits ran out of easily-mined gold, shipments to the area Mints decreased, and in 1855 the Charlotte Mint struck only 3,677 quarter eagles. This piece retains all design details, a pleasing characteristic of rare U.S. gold, which circulated less than silver and copper coinage. Even some of the shield horizontals remain, and no one has to count the letters of LIBERTY on such coins. This is a dipped, green-gold example with obverse surface marks as seen, but remains a well-detailed representative of the last years of this North Carolina Mint. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1856	MS63	ICG 4761400701	Choice	$750	New August 1! Small Date, Brilliant Frosty Luster, Fully Struck, Early Date, Oakdale Collection. I really like this 1856 $2.5 quarter eagle from the Oakdale Collection. Classic orange-gold coloring is amplified by brilliant frosty level. Strike is complete while the fields are unabraded. The small date punch is the same used on Liberty Seated dimes. Now that is probably why I'm so comfortable with this offering! Housed in new ICG holder and fairly priced.
	1861 New Reverse	MS64	PCGS 25222746	Choice	$2250	Choice Original, Satiny Cartwheel Luster, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. More top quality US gold offerings from the Osprey Collection
	1862	AU53	PCGS 25324836	Original	$1750	New August 17! Mildly Reflective Fields, Rose-Gold Coloring, Near-Choice Original, Lizard King Collection. 1862 Philadelphia struck $2.5 quarter eagle totaled a low 98,508 piece. Present date survivors are a tiny faction of that mintage. This date becomes rare in Mint State with survivors being are elusive and often abraded. This Lizard King Collection offering is a well-detailed AU representative, with soft rose-gold color and only minor surface abrasions, none of which are readily noticeable. Reflective luster is evident under a light source. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder.
	1866-S	AU53	NGC 3524764017	Original	HOLD $1175	Low Mintage Civil War Date, Original Copper Gold Patina, Blemish Free. . 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. This AU53 specimen provides fair value as accurately graded along with blemish free surfaces. Overall, this example is nicely balanced with strictly original surfaces that offer classic old time copper toning. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1867-S	EF45	PCGS 28827313	Choice	$1000	New August 5! Very Scarce Issue and Grade, Classic Copper-Gold Patina, Choice Original Surfaces Oregon Beaver Collection. 1867 San Francisco struck $2.5 quarter eagles were limited to 28,000 pieces. This well preserved survivor has seen limited wear and subsequently acquired a natural copper-gold patina. Obverse strike is complete while the reverse has typical weakness on the lower left leg. Surface are entirely choice. A wonderful piece of U.S. western frontier history that appears to be undervalued at current pricing levels. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval. A duplicate from the Oregon Beaver Collection.
	1868-S	AU55	PCGS 29714964	Choice	$1250	New August 17! Low Mintage Date, Soft Orange-Gold Coloring, Choice Surfaces, Lizard King Collection. Yet another mid 19th century San Francisco struck $2.5 date with low mintage. Only 34,000 pieces were struck after miniscule Civil War year production. I'm quite impressed with this Lizard King Collection example. One does not often see noticeable rose-gold coloring on early gold. Near all are green-gold with a transition to copper shades with wear. Frosty luster bold with continuous cartwheels on both sides. Obverse strike is complete with the usual reverse weakness on the lower left eagle's leg and right claws. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder.
	1869	AU50	PCGS 81020552	Choice	$800	New August 6! Scarce Low Mintage Date, Copper-Gold Patina, Choice Original, Oregon Beaver Collection. Pleasing warm, reddish-gold surfaces blanket both sides of this low-mintage quarter eagle, struck to the extent of just 4,320 pieces. With few individuals attempting complete date and mintmark sets of quarter eagles, better-date pieces such as this become more accessible to type coin collectors. The remaining luster on this piece is frosty, and the only notable marks are a few lines above the eagle's head and at star 4 on the obverse. This coin is well-struck, with defined star centers and nearly complete detail beneath the reverse shield. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

The entire mintage appears to have gone into commerce as the date is rare in AU and extremely rare in Mint State. GFRC is quite pleased to be offering a freshly graded MS62 example that is housed in NGC's new large font holder. One immediately notes the deep orange-gold coloring and bright satiny luster that is especially attractive on the reverse. Obverse strike is well executed while the reverse eagle has partial definition of the left leg. This piece was hand selected by the Osprey Collection for its above average eye appeal and overall quality. Since so few Mint State survivors are available, gold enthusiast should take note.

The 1869 San Francisco $2.5 quarter eagle gold saw a limited mintage of 29,500 pieces with most entering Western frontier circulation. Most present day survivors will be located in lower circulated grade with Mint State examples being very rare. The Oregon Beaver Collection is back with an orange-gold duplicate that offers brilliant frosty luster.

The MS64 grade level is the optimum value point as prices jump dramatically in MS65. PCGS population is only fifty-five in MS64. Now that the statistics are out of the way, let's focus on this new Oregon Beaver Collection offering. Under a light source, brilliant frosty is promptly noted and highlights light orange-gold surfaces. Obverse strike is complete with bold daggling hair curls. Reverse strike is near complete with only a touch of weakness on the left leg. Overall, an accurately graded $2.5 quarter eagle with ample eye appeal. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

At the MS63 grade level, PCGS population is only three certified, one of which is this Oregon Beaver Collection example. Offered here is a lustrous, satiny choice example with shimmery canary-gold luster and minimal abrasions for the grade.

This is a low-mintage issue in the quarter eagle series, with only 3,920 pieces struck. PCGS records 104 total grading events, easily within the lower range for Liberty $2.50s.

Low Mintage, Light Orange-Gold, Frosty Cartwheels, Choice Surfaces, Lizard King Collection. 1877 San Francisco struck $2.5 gold amounted to 35,400 pieces. At this point, survival rates are improving with availability in AU. Mint State populations see a drop-off especially in MS63 or better. On this 1877-S example, superb eye appeal results from the interplay between frosty cartwheel luster and peach colored light orange-gold surfaces. Cartwheels are impressive during bright light review. Strike is complete on both sides. I'm tempted to call a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation on this lovely piece from the Lizard Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

GFRC is pleased to be offering a quality survivor that brings eye appeal well above its assigned grade level. Luster texture is somewhere between brilliant frosty and sharply reflective. Swirling cartwheels are quite entertaining during bright light viewing. Strike is deeply impression with high relief center devices. Visual eye appeal is well above the assigned MS61 grade.

	1926	MS64+	PCGS 83864610	Gem	$1150	Brilliant Satiny Luster, Orange and Greenish-Gold Patina, Complete Strike, CAC Approval.. Most United States gold coinage will be found with either greenish-gold or orange-gold uniform coloring. Infrequent are cases where the two dominant toning colors are intermixed on the same coin. This 1926 gem G$2.5 Indian is one of those occurrences. Rich orange gold covers nearly all of the obverse other than a streak of green-gold from the 1 digit in the date up through star 7.

The upper and lower areas are orange-gold. A well struck quarter eagle with essentially unabraded surfaces. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval.

	1929	MS64+	PCGS 83758200	Choice	$1285	Last Year of Issue, Noteworthy Satiny Luster, Light Orange-Gold Coloring, CAC Approval. 1929 brought an end to the Bela Lyon Pratt $2.5 Indian design with a smaller mintage of 532,000 pieces. The issue was saved and is available in Mint State grades up through MS64. MS64+ and MS65 populations are a factor of ten lower than choice and near-gems levels. CAC approval also brings an incremental premium as is the case for this close to gem orange-gold example. Intense or dense satiny luster (pick your adjective) is eye catching and was rewarded with an MS64+ certification along with subsequent CAC approval. Strike is deeply impressed leading to bold devices. There are a few scattered obverse field ticks of no consequence. At the near-gem and gem grade levels, luster plays a substantial role in grading. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. Asking price is fair for the quality and firm.

Adding a well preserved $3 gold piece to GFRC inventory is always a big deal, especially with CAC approval. $3 gold was the ideal size for Victorian era jewelry makers.

Pleasing bright light viewing is assured due to pristine fields. Coloring is green-gold. Housed in newer NGC holder with CAC approval. An ideal offering for a U.S. gold type set where the CAC green bean is mandatory.

	1811 Tall 5	MS61	NGC 664449001	Choice	$10450	Tall 5, Frosty Luster, Green-Gold Coloring, Heavily Clashed Dies, Opsrey Collection. Noted United States gold expert, David Akers, opines within CoinFacts that "the Tall 5 variety of 1811 is moderately more rare than the Small 5 variety in all grades. However, it is at the uncirculated level that the difference is the greatest and, based on the number of auction appearances over the last half century, the Tall 5 variety is approximately twice as rare as the 1811 Small 5 in mint state." The Osprey Collection has found a new niche with early U.S, gold, in particular, Capped Bust $5 half eagles. This new 1811 Tall 5 example is consistent with recent offerings. Frosty luster radiates from greenish-gold surfaces. Dies are heavily clashed on both sides. The die clashing appears as a bunch of lines in the fields suggesting field chatter. That is not the case as the fields are unabraded while traversed with multiple rotating die clash lines. Strike is pleasing too! Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert.

This survivor was recently repatriated from Europe by the Osprey Collection and is freshly graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder. Fields radiate ample reflective luster during bright light inspection. Strike is completely executed with nicely rounded stars and complete reverse device details. Coloring is closer to copper-gold. Rims exhibit some random hits as a validation of the time in circulation. An important GFRC offering to consider as the United States gold product line continues to be expanded.

Mintage for 1847 Charlotte half eagles reached the 84,151 level that year. Most survivors will be found in the VF through low AU grades. This new GFRC offering is wicked nice as they same in Downeast Maine. Surfaces retain reflective characteristics even at the assigned EF45 grade.

Overall, a pleasing piece that presents well with no distractions. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval. Priced at CDN CAC guide as a reference.
	1850	AU53	NGC 3132217006	Original	HOLD $1050	New September 18! Low Mintage Philadelphia Date, Light Mirrored Fields, Orange-Gold Coloring, Very Underrated. Regardless of a mintage of 64,491 piece, the 1850 Philadelphia date is rare in all grades. PCGS population report indicates this date struggles to reach the double digits at any grade level with a small cluster of survivors between EF40 and AU50. GFRC has recently taken in this lovely AU53 specimen in trade and ready to offer at an attractive. This original specimen sport lightly mirrored fields and desirable orange-gold coloring. Surface abrasions are typical for the grade. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. Hurry on this offering as I suspect it will not last long.
	1852	AU50	PCGS 2577149	Gem	$1200	Gem Original, Seal Beach Collection. Gold CAC status is highly coveted, indicating CAC's highest level of approval. Indeed, only two 1852 half eagles have been awarded the gold sticker, both at the AU50 level. Slab collecting is its own specialty, and while GFRC encourages clients to buy the coin and not the holder, there is no question that a gold CAC premium exists in the marketplace. The winning bid will determine exactly what that premium is, but regardless, bidders will do well to remember that this is a special coin with special status. The originality factor is especially high with this piece, with green-gold, hairline-free fields contrasting with original Mint-bloom in the recessed areas. Gold is soft and tick-prone, but this piece reveals reverse fields that are remarkably smooth. Housed in a PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder with gold CAC approval.

The Osprey Collection is back and presenting one of the finest surviving 1883 Carson City struck half eagles extant. When photographing this near-gem specimen, I marveled at the partially mirrored fields that produce substantial amounts of reflective luster. Overall coloring is orange-gold on both sides. Mintage is a tiny 12,958 pieces for this rare and underrated date. 1883-CC half eagles are rarer than comparable 1879-CC, 1880-CC, and 1882-CC dates and a close match to the very rare 1881-CC date.

Common date you might ask? Well yes and no! This last year of design strike sports a mintage of a little over two million pieces. Nearly all survivors will be found at the MS61 thru MS63 grades due to surface abrasions. Populations drop at MS64 with gems beinh very rare and commanding huge premiums. The premium extends to those certified at the MS64+ level. Since CAC does not report (+) grades, the only available approval data is forty-three at the MS64 level and a single MS65 approved.
