California Fractional
	1855/4 BG-106	MS64	PCGS 84218812	Choice	$550	New August 17! California Fractional Gold, Choice Original, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. Stocking California fractional gold is always a fun event due to their gold rush significance and private issue. The booming gold rush years left local merchants with a lack of small denomination coinage. The San Francisco mint did not ramp $1 coin production until 1854 and only with a meager 14,600 mintage to support local commerce. As a result, local jewelry shop owners began striking and issuing private gold in small denominations. Most were struck with anvil and hammer leading to uneven strikes. This 1855/4 example, from the Osprey Collection, is listed as BG-106 and graded MS64. Severe die rust pits on the cheek are readily apparent and validate the die variety. Strike is nice executed on the obverse while the denominations has several weak letters. Viewing this lovely example reveals substantial frosty cartwheel luster. Accurately graded and fair priced.

Fields are mirrored and sharply reflective under a light source.

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.

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.

	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.
	1914-D	MS64+	PCGS 83539660	Gem	HOLD $5350	Gem Original, Glowing Satiny Luster, Conservative Grading, Osprey Collection. A gem for the assigned MS64+ grade with CAC approval validating how close this specimen is to full MS65 grade. Actually, I believe this piece is a full MS65. 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 more than double the GFRC asking price. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Another superb offering from the Osprey Collection.

According to David Akers, the Tall 5 variety is approximately twice as rare as the 1811 Small 5 in mint state. This is important to know given the new NGC AU58 offering from the Osprey Collection. Frosty luster is vibrant and active under a bright light. Strike is well impressed with rounded stars and a complete compliment of reverse devices to enjoy. GFRC images accurately capture the eye appeal and surfaces condtions. Housed in older NGC holder with standard ring insert and accurately graded. A rare early date half eagle offering from the Osprey Collection.
$5 Liberty
	1847	AU58	PCGS 80654467	Choice	$1425	Choice Original, Fully Struck, Essentially Blemish Free, Perfect for Grade.

	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.
	1874-CC	AU53	PCGS 84228740	Choice	$12500	New August 7! Choice Original Carson City Date, Orange Gold Luster, Lightly Mirrored Fields, Accurately Graded, Condition Rarity, Osprey Collection . Mintage of only 21,198. Attractive orange gold surfaces are lightly mirrored with minimal disturbences. Dave Akers indicates that, "most known specimens of the 1874-CC are well circulated and VF examples are typical. 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.
	1880	MS61	raw	Original	$435	Near Choice Eye Appeal, Old Time Orange Patina. Don't I enjoy adding this lovely 1880 half eagle to the GFRC price list. This piece offers a substantial amount of frosty cartwheel luster along old time orange patina. An MS61 net grade is assigned due to some wispy hairlines in the left obverse field that require a 10x glass and properly lighting angle to see. A perfect piece for a casual type set along with gold bullion appreciation potential.
	1891-CC	AU58	NGC 4252195002	Choice	$1975	Affordable Carson City Date, Old Time Copper Gold Patina, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection . Mintage of 208,000 and rendering this Carson City date as the most affordable from that era. I really like and recommend this gold half eagle due to the transparent copper gold patina. Placing this piece under a light source releases cartwheel luster and probably difficult to anticipate this surface condition when viewing the GFRC images. Blemishes are at a minimum with a few field ticks on the reverse but fully toned over. Housed in new large font NGC holder. The old time originality and accurately grading warrant CAC approval. Another quality selection from the Osprey Collection.
	1893-S	MS63	PCGS 82457954	Choice	$1050	Near Gem for Grade, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded, Saco River Collection. A high end MS63 if you ask my humble opinion.

An affordable and attractive 1851 Philadelphia $20 double eagle strike that was recently repatriated from Europe.

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.

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.

	1889-CC	AU53	PCGS 82415329	Choice	$6300	Difficult Carson City Date, Original, Conservative Grading, Osprey Collection.. Always in demand as a Carson City type coin, the 1889 date sport a modest mintage of 30,945. Its rarity is consistent with the 1876-CC and 1890-CC dates according to information available at CoinFacts.

Strike is hammered with deeply impressed hair curls and nearly all stars having connected centrils.

	1902	MS62	PCGS 81982954	Choice	$5500	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. This piece is fresh from Europe and recently graded. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder without CAC attempt. A choice and quality piece from the Osprey Collection.
