Choice $560 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.

Choice $725 Silky Luster, Orange-Gold Coloration, Worn Dies, Choice Original Surfaces. Rich orange-gold patination is readily apparent on this choice original 1852 gold dollar. Under a bright light, the luster appears silky with a fair amount of die erosion within the upper reverse. Dies are also lightly clashed with a complete strike. During first inspection, this piece was designated for CAC review where it did not sticker. Worthy of a GFRC-Choice quality rating for overall eye appeal and accurate grading. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder with plastic haze on the lower reverse.

Type 1, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Orange Honey-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Sooner Collection. The brilliant, frosted luster is readily apparent when examining this 1853 gold dollar under a bright light. A careful 10x inspection confirms the slightest rub on the cheek and upper hair braids. That rub does not interrupt the lustrous display. The strike is complete while the surfaces are well preserved. Previously from the Bart Chapman estate. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

Choice $825 Type 2 Indian Princess, Brilliant Frosted Luster. Honey Yellow-Gold, Choice Overall. Having multiple 1854 Type 2 Indian Princess dollar gold is an opportunity for collectors to conduct some comparison shopping. This is another example from an old time U.S. gold collection that continues to divest via GFRC. This piece exhibits brilliant frosted luster from surfaces that have honey yellow-gold coloration. Under a bright light, cartwheels are noted and a feat for a tiny gold piece. There is light rub on the high points and fields with die clashing evident on both sides, more so on the reverse. Mint frost is substantial on the reverse which adds to the overall charm. Let's go with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation to close the description. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder.
Gold G$1 1855 1855
MS62 PCGS
37649798
Choice $2050 Type 2 Indian Princess, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Honey Green-Gold Coloration, Heavy Die Clashing. 1855 saw the Type 2 Indian Princess hub design employed for a full year prior to the conversion to the final Type 3 design in 1856. Gold type collectors are always challenged with locating a Type 2 due to its brief issuance during the latter part of 1854 and throughout 1855. This accurately graded MS62 example offers brilliant frosted luster under a bright light along with honey green-gold coloration. Both sides are heavily clashed from well worn and cracked dies. The obverse has die cracks at the tops of ST(ATES) while the reverse has haloed devices and a bold die crack from left to the rim. One well hidden obverse contact mark is consistent with the certified grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

MS61 NGC
1747089003
Original $1375 Type 2 Indian Princess Design, Lustrous, Honey Green Gold, Near-Choice Original. Mintage for the 1854 and 1855 Type 2 Indian Princess gold dollar issues are quite similar at 783,943 and 758, 269 respectively. However, I've found the 1855 date to be less frequently encountered. Continuing from our old time U.S. gold supplier, is this honey green-gold example with steely luster. A reasonable strike is noted with heavy die clashing on the reverse. An obverse contact mark by (ST)ATES precludes a Choice quality rating but let's remember that the girding is accurately as an MS61. Housed in NGC Gen 14 (2003-2004) holder.

Genuine PCGS
14612875
Cleaned $1250 Popular New Orleans Gold Dollar Date, Steely Luster, No Hairlines Whatsoever. According to Doug Winter, "the 155-O is the most popular New Orleans gold dollar" as a one year type date for the Type 2 Indian Princess design (1854-1856). PCGS has assigned a Genuine opinion which appears to be in question based on my experience cataloging U.S. gold. Steely luster is noted on the peripheries with natural orange-gold radiating. Centers are a dull brownish-gray with wear being evident on the high points. In-hand eye appeal is acceptable for a type set as the offer price is attractive.

NGC
5853109002
Choice $525 New April 19! Choice Original, Honey-Gold Coloration, CAC Approval, Pikes Peak Collection.

Gold G$1 1862 1862
MS63 PCGS
13576808
Choice $800 Partially Mirrored, Sharp Reflectance, Choice Original. Sure, the 1862 Philadelphia $1 gold issue falls into the common date realm given a mintage of 1,361,355. I'm not surprised that PCGS has certified several examples as Prooflike given the partially mirrored fields seen on this example. Both sides are equally mirrorred with sharp reflective luster with the underlying coloration being honey green-gold. Heavy die striations are readily apparent on the obverse and to lesser extent on the reverse. The field exhibit a few wispy hairlines that are amplified by the mirrored fields. From an old time collection that has been off the market for at least a decade or more. Submitted to CAC where it was not approved. Regardless, this piece warrants a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendations due to the coloration and mirrors that are differentiated from most other examples seen. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

Bright light exposure activities thick frosted luster and moderate cartwheels, an important feat for such a small coin. The strike is complete with the usual haloing on the lower reverse. A few hairlines are noted in the left obverse field which lines up with the technical grade. During in-hand viewing, this appearance is that of a higher grade.

Coloration is best described as light honey-gold with adequate luster on both sides. A careful 10x inspection confirms that this is indeed a Mint State example with continuous luster across the high points. A complete strike is noted while the surfaces have a few minor abrasions of no real consequence. Off of the market for over a decade and ready for placement in a new collection. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder. Please note that the lower reverse image is impacted by plastic haze on this holder.

MS61 NGC
3178455006
Choice $1050 Low Mintage Issue, Partially Mirrored, Green-Gold Coloration, Choice Overall. This 1868 gold dollar presents a compelling entry point for a date collector. First is the low mintage of 10,500 with most survivors being in the lower Mint State grades. This availability has kept date pricing premiums to a minimum. From an old time collection arrives this lot with green-gold coloration and partially mirrored fields.

PCGS
37721658
Choice $3250 Rare Low Mintage Issue, Partially Mirrored, Yellow-Gold, A Near-Gem, CAC Approved. A top quality 1872 Type 3 gold piece that is consistently difficult to acquire by gold dollar collectors. A rare date when fully choice given the low mintage of only 3,500. This new acquisition is fully struck with deeply impressed motifs, partially mirrored fields, and an overall yellow-gold coloration. David Akers opines that, "The 1872 is one of my favorite dates in the gold dollar series. Except for the 1875, it is the scarcest date after 1870 and is really very rare in choice condition." The rarity is easily corroborated by checking the CAC census with only 17 approved in all grades. The CAC price guide stands at $3,300 at the offered graded and jumps to $4,500 at the MS64 level. A compelling offering for those assembling a $1 gold set. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

MS65 PCGS
50027065
Gem $2500 Low Mintage Issue, Missing Liberty Lettering, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Gem Original. 1879 gold dollar mintage is 3,000 and actually is more difficult to locate than the subsequent 1880 issue whereby only 1,600 were produced with hoarding increasing availability. This 1879 example is consistent with reported examples lacking most of the lettering in LIBERTY. This is an attractive gem with variegated orange and white gold shades. The reverse is particularly eye catching with the left side exhibiting bluish-white and the opposite being orange-gold. Under angled lighting, the steely-frosted radiance is substantial with vibrant cartwheels. Heavy reverse die clashing is also noted for accuracy. An unquestionable gem that was submitted to CAC without approval. I believe this is a notable example and you will too! Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2003-2004) holder.

From an old time collection arrives this near-gem example with deep honey green-gold surfaces with considerable eye appeal. Under a bright light, the fields are particular radiant with the luster being in the frosted-steely category. Equally pleasing are the vibrant cartwheels.

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.

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.

Choice $850 Challenging "Common Date", Choice Original, Honey-Green Gold, Fresh CACG Grading. 1857 Philadelphia struck $2.5 gold amounted to 214,130 pieces resulting in numismatic experts viewing the date as "common". However, when fully choice, this date is challenging given that CAC has stickered only 41 in all grades while CACG has holdered two examples, one of which is being offered here. The premium nature is unquestionable with well preserved surfaces that are every so lightly worn. Coloration is a traditional honey green-gold. The CAC price guide is $925 as reference. Perfect as a pre-Civil War era type piece and much more difficult that the 1852, 1853, and 1854 Philadelphia issues and even the 1854-O .

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. Surfaces are entirely unabraded and so pleasing with darker "dirt" in some protected areas. Strike is also complete. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.

Choice $2450 Low Mintage Philadelphia Date, Partially Mirrored, Rich Honey-Gold Coloration, Choice and Rare. CAC approval has unquestionably differentiated U.S. gold with strictly original example of the scarcer early dates having low census populations. 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 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.

Yet another low mintage issue with only 3,000 struck during the year that Ulysses S. Grant defeated Horace Greeley and Susan B. Anthony voted for the first time on behalf of American women. This example exhibits partially mirrored fields with a notable amount of pleasing reflectance under a bright light.

This $2.5 release from an old time cabinet has confirmed that semi-prooflike fields are the rule. This 1874 lot is consistent with mirrors that are immediately evident under a bright light. The reflectively is quite notable and pleasing. Light wear is seen in the fields and on the cheek. Strike is completely executed and a delight to view during 10x inspection. The coloration falls into the yellow green-gold realm. A single obverse field tick below Liberty's bonnet needs mention. A lot that is fairly priced and worthy of collector attention.

Gem $2500 Gem Original Offering, Yellow Gold, Partially Mirrored Fields, CAC approved. 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. Also compelling is the complete strike and unabraded surfaces with light rub consistent with the certified grade. Coloration falls into the honey yellow-gold realm. The CAC census currently stands at 25 stickered with a CDN price guide number being quoted as $2,250. There is a 50% pricing premium at MS62. Housed in NGC 25 (2008) holder with CAC approval.

Original $900 Underrated Date, Steely-Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Yellow-Gold Coloration. 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.

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.

Gem $2100 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.

Choice $2530 Eye Appeal of Higher Grade, Near-Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - 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.

Choice $3650 So Close to Gem, Honey-Gold, Sparkling Frosted Luster. What a surprise when reviewing the CDN CAC guide and population reports. 1898 Philadelphia $10 gold could be considered a better date as only 60 have been approved in all grades versus a mintage of 812,130. This newly consigned example is approaching the condition census given its noteworthy preservation. Coloration is the typical honey-gold while the surfaces are covered with micro-textured mint frost. The resulting luster is brilliant with commensurate charwheels. Two scattered obverse ticks are consistent with the (+) certified grade rather than full gem.
