Fields are mirrored and sharply reflective under a light source.

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.

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.

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.

GFRC is thrilled to be handling this outstanding 1880 gold dollar piece! A superb gem with the 1880 date boasting an enticingly low mintage of 1,600 coins. Sufficient examples were saved at the time of issue to make this date collectible today in high grade. What a pleasure studying this gold piece in hand and then under a bright light.

	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.
	1889	MS64+	PCGS 28848305	Gem	New Price HOLD $995	Gem Original, Vibrant Frosty Luster, Old Orange Gold Patina, Conservative Grading, Winesteven Collection.

$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. Housed in older NGC holder with standard insert.

This example is really sweet and desirable. Surfaces are lightly mirrored consistent with being struck from freshly polished dies. Reflective cartwheel luster is bold and crisp. Obverse strike is typical with a few weakly impressed stars while the reverse is fully struck. A close 10x loupe inspection revealed no blemish worth mentioning. 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.
	1846-O	AU58	PCGS 83579266	Gem	$3650	New August 9! Rotated Reverse 90 Degrees Left, Gem Original, Osprey Collection. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. GFRC is pleased to offer more quality United States gold from the Osprey Collection. Full description shortly.

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.

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
	1856	AU58	raw	Choice	$345	Choice Original Surfaces, Lightly Mirrored Fields, Reflective Luster, Well Struck. Mintage 384,240. A quality pre Civil War example lightly mirrored fields and reflective luster. Surfaces offer few abraisons and are attractive. Strike is crisply executed. Conservatively graded at the AU58 level but would not be surprised to see this one certified as MS61/62.
	1857-O	EF45	PCGS 28237636	Choice	$735	New July 31! Choice Original, Port Matilda Collection. Historically significant as the final Liberty quarter eagle issue from the New Orleans mint with small mintage of 34,000. Strikes are chronically weak for the date. The obverse center and eagle's lower left leg are problematic strike areas while obverse stars are well formed. This example, from the Port Matilda Collection, is typical in terms of strike while surfaces are free of any significant abrasions; abrasions are an issue for this date as many come from an excavation finding in Jackson, Tennessee. Surfaces are covered with uniform copper gold patina which validates the originality. A quality offering that is fairly graded and housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder along with CAC approval.

The deep orange gold patina and vibrant cartwheel luster immediately grabs your attention when first viewed. Closed inspection with a 10x loupe reveals a few micro lines in the fields when swirls under a bright light; this is all I can find to explain the assigned MS61 grade. Strike is complete with deeply impressed curls, rounded stars and nearly all reverse eagle feathers being well defined. Housed in older PCGS blue label holder with standard ring insert. A wonderful offering from the Osprey Collection that should capture attention.
	1866-S	AU53	NGC 3524764017	Original	$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.

PCGS has graded 25 at the AU55 grade level and another 24 certified AU58. Pricing is corresponding lower than follow-on 1869 and 1870 dates. This well preserved example offers mildly reflective fields and luster. Strike is completely executed with no points of weakness. A close 10x loupe inspection revealed no blemishes to report or detract. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder and important opportunity to secure a low mintage 1860 strike at reasonable price. Another fine numismatic property from the Oregon Beaver Collection.
	1869	MS61	NGC 2643827001	Choice	$3345	Rare Philadelphia Date, Choice Original, Fiery Orange Gold Luster, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. Another post Civil War quarter eagle with tiny mintage. 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.

Blemishes are limited to a few micro ticks in the fields that are not distracting. A quality rare date offering that is housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

If only this lovely 1875 dated quarter eagle were a Philadelphia strike! Yes, this piece is still most desireable as a San Francisco strike with meager mintage of 11,600 pieces. An underrated and undervalued date, particularly in AU or better. GFRC is pleased to be offering an AU55 example with crusty copper gold patina. Strike is better than average for the issue with full obverse stars and eagle feathers at the wing tips. There are no blemishes worth mentioning either. Housed in new large font NGC holder. A United States gold offering from the Saco River Collection that brings quality and rarity to the price lists.

Eye appeal is huge with vibrant reflection cartwheel luster that is dazzling under a light source. Patina is classic orange gold that is to be expected for a well preserved original example. Strike nearly complete with reverse well defined but star 1 lacking connected centrils. Fields have faint chatter that probably explain the assigned NGC grade. Luster is higher than expected for MS61 grade; this piece is offers value as I don't see the field chatter as distracting. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval. Another fine numismatic property from the Oregon Beaver 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.

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.

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.

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.

NGC has assigned an MS64+ grade with CAC agreeing with the designation. In my eyes, this piece could be graded MS65 and will probably end up in that level holder in the future as the price gap is conducive to cracked out dealers. PCGS price guide jumps from $1225 in MS64+ to $6000 in MS65. This lovely 1882 example has it all; huge luster, a hammered strike and minimal micro blemishes in the focal area.

Mintage of 392,000 with few examples graded above MS62. Noted United States gold expert, David Akers, had the followint to say concerning 1912 San Francisco strike, "The 1912-S is one of the most poorly made, if not the absolute most poorly made, gold issues of the 20th century. The Mint had serious die problems for this isssue and nearly all specimens have a nearly invisible, amorphous mintmark and below-average lustre. In addition, the dies usually show signs of deterioration near the rims and the overall result is not very pleasing to the eye. The only positive thing one can say is that the color of a typical 1912-S is usually quite good, light to medium orange gold being the most common." When first viewing this lovely 1912-S half eagle, I was not aware of the poor strikes per Akers. Overall, this Washington State Collection offering is choice with nice satiny luster and a decent strike. There is one faint line from UNITE(D) to the eagle's breast mentioned for complete accurary.

Abrasions are too a minimum for the assigned MS62 grade while cartwheel luster is so dominate and pleasing. Strike is bold and crisp. All stars are rounded with deep centrils while all vertical and horizontal shield lines are separated by deep channels. This lovely example offers plenty of eye appeal and natural coloration. Don't I enjoy just swirling the obverse and reverse under bright light to activate the flashy textured luster. A new arrival from Europe and has just been graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder without CAC review. A superb piece from the Osprey Collection for serious collectors of early $20 double eagles.

An affordable and attractive 1851 Philadelphia $20 double eagle strike that was recently repatriated from Europe. Though this date has a mintate of slightly over 2,000,000, it is far from common and always in demand when accurately graded and fairly priced. This example exhibits satiny luster with a delicate semi-granular finish that is typical for the issue. Strike is also typical with decent definition of central hair curls and rounded stars. There are a few blemishes on the reverse with the most noticeable being below the eagle tail feathers. Accurately graded at the AU53 grade level and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Another quality offering from the Osprey Collection that deserves consideration.
	1852-O	AU53	PCGS 81982953	Original	$7850	Scarce New Orleans Date, Attractive Mark Free Surfaces, Osprey Collection. The 1852 New Orleans double eagle sports a mintage of 190,000 and is an excellent choice for the Type I New Orleans slot in a United States gold type set. Most 1852-O double eagles are seen with a fair number of blemishes so collectors need to look for those with minimal marks heavily abraded. 1852 examples offer decent eye appeal but still not comparable to Philadelphia counterparts. This attractive Osprey example has been freshly graded and originated from Europe as many Osprey gold coins are. Accurately graded with surfaces that are free of any distracting blemishes. Toning is a consistent yellow gold while strike is complete. Please remember that nice New Orleans double eagles should continue to be in demand for years to come as such a popular and challenging mint to collect. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

Surfaces are essentially blemish free and I could easily see this double eagle in an MS61 without question. 1853 double eagle strikes have a lower mintage than their 1851 and the 1852 counteparts but all three dates have similar pricing and overall availability. The 1853 date is rare in Mint State grades and undervalued as PCGS has only graded (3) in MS63 and none higher. This AU58 example with CAC approval is so choice and pleasing. In hand inspection under a bright light will reveal the flashy luster and tickle the eyes. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder along with CAC approval. Please give this double eagle special consideration as I know GFRC customers will not be disappointed.

The Large Date punch is the same used on silver dollars and certain New Orleans eagles of that year. Uniform strike is seen throughout obverse and reverse; in particular the lower reverse shield and surrounding devices. Surfaces marks are consistent with the grade and expectations for this date.

	1878-S	MS61	NGC 1954130001	Original	$1500	New August 11! Original Surfaces, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Accurately Graded, Washington State Collection. The 1878-S $20 double date is scarce in MS62 and becomes a rarity in MS63 or better. Noted United States gold expert, David Akers, had this to say about the 1878-S date, "In average uncirculated condition, the 1878-S is very scarce and in choice or gem mint state it is decidedly rare. In my opinion, this issue, as well as the 1879-S, 1880-S, 1881-S, and 1882-S, are all very underrated in uncirculated condition." This NGC MS61 example, is therefore at the knee of the condition/pricing curve and an excellent value at a few hundred dollars above spot. This example offers frosty cartwheel luster and orange gold coloring on both sides. The assigned grade is a function of obverse field abrasions but with no major hits or marks. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. A nice Liberty $20 piece that has been sitting in a bank box for over a decade in the Washington State Collection.

	1902	MS62	PCGS 81982954	Choice	New Price $4200	Choice Original, Active Cartwheel Luster, CAC Candidate, Eye Appeal, Osprey Collection. This choice 1902 $20 double eagle is superior for the assigned grade and deserves special consideration. Why? Let's visit the PCGS population reports for that answer. There are (214) graded MS62 dropping to only (80) in MS63 with price guide jumping from $4500 to $11500. Many of those in the MS62 population are regrade attempts so my guess is that the MS62 population may be closer to (150). Locating a borderline MS63 for MS62 money should be the collector's challenge in obtaining maximum value and resale opportunity. This Osprey offering is one of the borderline MS63 pieces. Vibrant cartwheel luster dominates with few if any marks. The reverse is especially lustrous. Strike is complete with nicely rounded stars and deeply impressed reverse details.
