California Fractional
	1859 BG-705	MS64	NGC 4712009008	Choice	$2250	Baltimore Show Price Reduction! BG-705, Condition Census Grade, Bold Reflective Luster, Abrasion Free, Conservatively Graded, Tiny PCGS Population for Variety. Stocking California Fractional gold is an important event due to early 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 1859 BG-705 offering is exceptional given the example is a top pop grade and so well preserved. PCGS has only graded fourteen (14) total examples with one piece at the MS64 level. Both sides offer bold reflective luster from mirrored fields. Obverse devices are crudely engraved with most stars being blobs. The obverse die is heavily clashed with a reverse die from another 25c fractional design. Reverse design is also poorly executed with crude wreath elements and weak denomination and date. Edge denticles are well raised and sharp. Conservatively graded and housed in new large font NGC holder. From a Massachusetts consignor.
	1864 BG-735	AU55	raw	Original	$235	Copper Gold Coloring, Sharp Rims, Problem Free Surfaces, Southern Maine Collection. A strictly original California Fractional quarter dollar with uniform copper gold toning. Rims are sharp and actual wear is minimum. I believe the assigned AU55 grade is fair for the overall appearance and quality. Off the market for several decades. An eclectic offering from the Southern Maine Collection.
$1 - Type 1 Liberty Head
	1851	AU55	PCGS 35622500	Original	$225	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.
	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.
	1852-O	MS63	PCGS 35738613	Choice	$5650	New April 4! CAC Condition Census, Rare in Mint State, Rich Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Well Struck, Accurately Grades, Osprey Collection. 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. Strike is typical with the reverse DO(LL)AR and 8 digit being a tad weak. Overall, a quality representative of this rare date in Mint State. Freshly graded and housed in Gen 6.0S Gold Shield PCGS holder with CAC approval. An exceptional advanced collector offering from the Osprey Collection.

The mintage is only 24,600 pieces, which is divided roughly evenly between normal and repunched mintmark varieties. The repunched variety is known as the "Double S" variety with the first S punched high and to the right, and then only partially affaced. These two reverses share the same obverse die, identified by its diagonal crack from the ear to the U in UNITED. This marvelous Double S mintmark offering from the Osprey Collection is pleasing with smooth orange-gold surfaces and tons of frosty luster. Surfaces are blemish free with just a hint of rub at the highest cheek point. Housed in new large font NGC holder with edge view insert.

	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.

Low mintage of only 45,080 and scarce in higher grades. PCGS population report shows only ten pieces at the AU58 grade level with a sharp drop off in mint state population. 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.

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.

Courtesy of the Murphys Collection, GFRC is pleased to offer a frosty original AU58 example with full strike. David Akers comments that "most examples of this date are seen very weakly struck, both on the head of Liberty and on the eagle on the reverse." Surface coloring is a greenish-gold. Fields are blemish free other than a surface divot between stars 6 and 7. This divot resulted from a planchet issue.

Tiny mintage of 4,000 and so underrated at current prices. The near gem original example would please the selective collector with its proof like fields and crisp reflective luster. Strike is essentially hammered with deeply impressed devices on both sides. After a close 10x loupe inspection, I may have found some rub that would justify the assigned AU58 grade. The cheek is the likely location with a slight break in mint frost. Otherwise, this piece is full mint state. Overall eye appeal is substantial. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval.

Strike is essentially complete with a fully defined reverse but several stars lacking connected centrils. Fields have faint chatter that could explain the assigned NGC grade. Luster is more prominent than expected for the assigned MS61 grade. This piece offers value as I don't see the field chatter as being distracting.

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.

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.

	1861-O	EF45	PCGS 37030147	Original	$41500	New May 1! New Orleans Double Eagle Rarity, Weak Date Dies, Residual Reflective Luster, Above Average Eye Appeal, Limited Abrasions, Fresh From Europe. The 1861-O double eagle is a historically significant issue with a limited mintage of 17,741 pieces. Q. David Bowers suggests that 1861-O double eagles were produced by three different governing entities; Union, State of Louisiana, and Confederate States of America . Bowers further suggests that 5,000 examples were coined in January under Union control, follow by another 9,750 examples under the administration of the State of Louisiana, and the final 2,991 struck after the New Orleans mint was annexed by the Confederacy. Noted United States gold expert, Doug Winter, explores the striking administration topic further and questions if a single die pair was used for all 1861-O strikes since three sets of dies were sent to the New Orleans mint during December 1860. This date will be found with weak and strong dates though the date positions are exactly the same. Further research with Joe Gaines brings the conclusion that survivors with strong date are most likely to have been struck by the Confederacy. This example was sourced from Europe during early 2019 in raw condition and freshly certified by PCGS. This date is reported to have extensive marks on obverse and reverse due to prolonged circulation and mishandling. Since originating from Europe, this Osprey Collection example was saved early on without opportunity for bruises or scratches. Field are mildly abraded but without any significant distractions.

Therefore the offer price is firm and reasonable given the overall balanced nature of this outrageous specimen.

	1904-S	MS61PL	NGC 3443054005	Original	$2195	New April 20! Mirrored/Proof Like Fields, Brilliant Reflective Cartwheel Luster, CAC Approval, Jim Poston Consignment. Proof like United States gold might be considered an under appreciated collecting option. The PCGS price guide does not list PL designation as a separate category. The same is true for CDN.

Unfortunately, proof like fields amplify any surfaces anomalies as compared to those with frosty luster. Strike is hammered with deeply impressed devices on both sides.

	1922-S	MS63	PCGS 9859459	Choice	$3300	Better St. Gaudens Date, Choice Original, Rich Orange-Gold Patina, Frosty Cartwheels, Minimal Abrasions, Accurately Graded. Prior to the 1950s, the 1922-S was considered to be one of the premier rarities of the Saint-Gaudens series. However, a series of hoards were located in Europe and Central America that reduced that rarity status. Today, 1922 San Francisco strikes are seen as a better date with strong pricing premium over bullion content. This MS63 graded example is housed in PCGS Gen3.1 old green holder that was issued from 1993 to 1998. Eye appeal is pleasing with rich orange-gold patina that is expected for the issue. Frosty cartwheels are vibrant. Surfaces have minimal abrasions at the assigned grade level. Grading appears to be conservative when adding up luster, coloring and lack of abrasions. From an old time Sarasota area collection that has been off the market for several decades.
