Early Commemoratives
	1916	MS65	PCGS 44590920	Gem	$995	McKinley Commemorative, Brilliant Steely Luster, Honey-Gold Coloration, CAC Approval. The McKinley commemorative was struck during 1916 and 1917 to raise funds for a memorial building in McKinley's birthplace of Niles Ohio. First year strikes totaled 15,000 piece with most saved. This gem survivor features pristine surfaces that are colored honey-gold. Die finish is on a continuum between steely and partial mirrored resulting in attractive reflectance with angled lighting. Overall eye appeal is high while priced well below the CDN CAC Guide of $1190. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.
$1 - Type 1 Liberty Head
	1849-D	AU55	NGC 4349109001	Gem	$6100	Gem Original, Osprey Collection.. Russet patina in the protected areas graces the orange-yellow fields and central figures. Hints of navy color are additionally evident at the rims as the piece is carefully tilted under a light. Liberty and the surrounding stars are exceptionally defined with no trace of strike softness. The reverse die is rotated 80-degrees clockwise, and such rotations are common within the Dahlonega one-dollar gold series. Low mintages are the rule for these Dahlonega one-dollar pieces, and the 1849-D issue is no exception, with 21, 588 examples struck. The CAC population is 54 pieces, with 15 coins at the Mint State level. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	1849-O	MS64	PCGS 25057220	Choice	$6750	First Gold $1 From New Orleans, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Honey Green-Gold. 1849 brought the production launch of the $1 gold dollar at the New Orleans mint with 215,000 struck. Most entered circulated in the deep south resulting in the majority of survivors being in the circulated grades. Gem survivors are very rare with the MS64 level being the ideal "value" grade as premiums escalate quickly. The Osprey Collection is back with a near-gem example with splendid satiny luster along with vibrant cartwheels. Under angled lighting, the coloration shift to yellow green-gold. The images are accurate as to the in-hand appearance. CAC has approved 11 at the MS64 grade with only five finer. Again, lots of value here for those building a truly advanced set of early U.S. gold. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval.
	1851-O	AU58	PCGS 41065183	Choice	$675	Popular New Orleans Date, Natural Surfaces, Frosted Luster, Copper-Gold Patina, Osprey Collection. Struck to the tune of 290,000, the 1851-O date is available in most grades but still a better date than its Philadelphia counterpart. I'm liking this AU58 surivor for its light copper-gold coloration and frosted luster. Even at such a small size, there is some cartwheel action with a bright light. Well preserved with a high relief strike and elevated rims. This is typical quality from the Osprey Collection and worth considering. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
	1852-D	AU58	NGC 1876150011	Choice	$6800	Choice Original, Osprey Collection.. Yellow-gold color graces the surfaces of this low-mintage Dahlonega piece. The Georgia Mint struck 6,360 pieces in this year, of which perhaps a hundred examples survive today. This is a well-impressed coin, with sharp hair and star detail. Strike quality varies considerably on these Dahlonega coins, and the production quality at the mother Mint in Philadelphia was clearly superior. The remaining luster is easily apparent, consistent with the assigned grade. Note, a number of marks in the obverse left field represent clashed dies and are not a result of circulation. Clashed dies are rampant in the one-dollar gold series, another reminder than coining technology has greatly progressed since the 19th century. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder.
	1854-D	AU58	NGC 2039898062	Choice	$9300	Choice Original, Osprey Collection.. All the dates in the Dahlonega one-dollar series are challenging, but this one is even more so, with a low mintage of 2,935 pieces. The Winter reference on Dahlonega gold estimates that fewer than a hundred examples exist. Yellow-gold patina covers both sides of this piece, with faint bluish tones evident as the coin is tilted under a light. The reverse exhibits extensive die polish lines throughout, among the most ever seen by this cataloger. It is worth remembering that die polish appears as raised lines on a struck coin, and that the highest points of the die correspond to the lowest points on the coin. Clearly the Dahlonega coiner attacked this reverse die aggressively. NGC has certified 78 pieces in all grades combined. Housed in newer NGC holder with Manhattan Collection pedigree on the label.
$1 - Type 2 Indian Princess
	1854	MS64	PCGS 43767997	Gem	$7650	Gem Original, Osprey Collection.. The Philadelphia Mint produced Type II one-dollar gold pieces in both 1854 and 1855, with the two issues roughly equal in terms of rarity. Longacre’s conception of an Indian princess as a figure of American Liberty was original in the context of coinage, but within the field of art the idea extended back to the 18th century. In any case, the Type II one paved the way toward Longacre’s Indian cent in 1858, today one of the most iconic images in the entire American coinage series. This piece exhibits orange-yellow surfaces that are nearly tick-free. Clash marks are evident on both sides. The frosty luster is abundant, making this a pleasing representative of the type. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder.
	1854	EF40	PCGS 44783620	Choice	$425	New April 11! Popular Type 2 Design, Moderate Wear, Choice and Original. A cool 1854 Type 2 gold dollar that is moderately worn. One does not see this date often with this amount of wear. Regardless, surfaces are natural and nicely preserved with green-gold coloration and residual steely luster. This popular date is inexpensive at the EF grade level. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
	1855	AU58	PCGS 20791723	Choice	$825	Type 2 Indian Princess, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Orange-Gold Coloration, Choice Surfaces. Ex. Twin Lakes Collection. A new buyback and popular date with $1 gold collectors. The 1854 Type 2 and 1855 dates are the only options for U.S gold type collectors to secure a Type 2 Indian Princess. Frosted luster is quite radiant during bright light inspection. Coloration is a combination of orange and green-gold. Both sides are heavily clashed with reverse die cracks. Accurately graded with light rub. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
$2.5 Classic Head
	1836 Block 8	MS62	NGC 1916996005	Choice	$6275	Noteworthy Classic Head Type Offering Challenging Grade, Steely Reflective Surfaces, Hammered Strike. Demand for Classic Head gold continues to be relentless when the offerings are CAC approved. GFRC was fortunately to locate this well preserved 1836 Block 8 quarter eagle at the 2023 FUN show. One will immediately note the steely fields that are quite reflective during angled lighting review. I don't offer handle U.S. gold that warrants a "yellow gold" designation but this piece certainly fits that description without any underlying green hues. Strike is complete with elevated star points and nicely defined hair curls plus deeply impressed reverse motifs. The grading is accurate as a few light field lines are noted, mostly on the reverse. An opportunity to acquire a Mint State Classic Head gold piece that would fit nicely in a type set. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder with CAC approval. Please note that the holder has a number of plastic wear lines and haze on the obverse which can be seen in the images.
$2.5 Liberty
	1842-C	EF40	PCGS 36594782	Choice	$4650	New June 2! Rare Chalotte Issue, Yellow-Gold Coloration, Choice Surfaces, Lizard King Collection. With a mintage of only 6,729, the 1842 Charlotte date is rare in any grade and is one of the rarest dates to originate from this southern mint. The Lizard King collection has released this mid-circulated grade example that is fully choice and warrants careful consideration by those that wish to put aside rare branch mint gold. Coloration is the expected yellow-gold along with the typical weak strike that the date is known for. The stars are partially struck along with weak center curl and broad rims with wire like denticles. This date has a reputation for circulating heavily with survivors being well abraded. This example is the well preserved with essentially pristine surfaces. Overall, a compelling offering. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1843	EF45	PCGS 84160280	Choice	$925	Near Gem Original, Copper-Gold Patina, Fully Struck. Warm green gold surfaces host bits of crust in the protected areas of the early-date Liberty quarter eagle. Marks are minimal for the grade, and the eye appeal is exceptional. Star centers are well-defined, while the lower portion of the eagle lacks complete detail. The CAC census notes 25 pieces in all grades with the EF45 guide price at $905. This is a pleasing collector coin that would be perfect for a gold type set. One cannot put away too many coins with a similar appearance! Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	1843-O Large Date	AU55	PCGS 27200103	Choice	$2700	Choice Original, GM-HWV Collection.. Consignment Buyout - Price Reduction. The 1843-O quarter eagle comes with a large or small date, with the Large Date pieces being about four times as scarce as the Small Date coins. This Large Date example is further distinguished by the plain 4 in the date, whereas the Small Date variety features a crosslet 4. Surfaces of this piece reveal orange-yellow patina with a few bits of copper-red evident on the obverse. Original Mint bloom radiates from the stars and legend. Stars are well defined, while the detail below the reverse shield is soft. Overall, a pleasing example of a better-date branch Mint quarter eagle. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder.
	1844-D	AU55	NGC 597164014	Choice	$5150	Rare 5-I Die Variety, Honey Green-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Oregon Beaver Collection. 1844 brought only 17,332 $2.5 strikes at the Dahlonega Mint. A single obverse was paired with two reverse dies to generate that mintage. The second die pairing (5-I) is considerably rarer than the first (5-H). This Oregon Beaver release presents an opportunity to acquire the 5-I pairing with little rarity premium. A strictly original and choice example with honey green-gold coloration and pleasing frosted luster. Undisturbed mint frost is seen at the stars and legend. As usual, the obverse strike experiences center weakness. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder.
	1847-C	AU58	PCGS 45367139	Choice	$6350	Magnificent Charlotte Specimen, Near-Gem Surfaces, Partially Mirrored Green-Gold. A stunning 1847 Charlotte strike with mintage of 23,226 pieces. Partially mirrored fields offer sharp reflective luster that instantaneously explodes off the surfaces. Coloration is honey green-gold with diagonal die polished lines that are shifted slight right from vertical. Strike is completely impressive with crisp star centers and fully defined eagle feathers. Even the claws and arrow heads are fully detailed. Lastly, this piece is certified at the value based AU58 grade. CAC has certified 42 in all graders with only 5 at the AU58 level. A compelling offering that warrants careful examination. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.
	1847-O	AU50	PCGS 5598383	Choice	$1750	New May 7! Cracked Reverse, Choice Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. This scarce New Orleans date presents a mintage of only 124,000 pieces with most survivors are clustered at the EF40 through low AU grades. An impressive CAC approval example with well-balanced visuals. Fields are steely reflective with claims to being lightly mirrored. The coloration is classic green-gold with honey-gold overtones. Surfaces have a few stray ticks of no consequence. Strike is weak, especially on the reverse with Doug Winter citing this date as being among the most poorly struck for a New Orleans issue. Advanced collection should carefully consider this historical artifact for its overall beauty and rarity. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval.
	1850-C	AU55	NGC 6274302013	Choice	$5750	Rare Grade, Crusty Green-Gold, Typical Strike, Osprey Collection. 1850 Charlotte strikes are typically found in VF and EF grades while higher grade AU specimens are rare. Hound Dog Dan is back with an AU55 certified offering that should garner attention. Surfaces a layers with a light crusty skin over green-gold coloring. Luster is slightly reflective as compared to the majority seen with frosted surfaces. Strike is reasonable for a Charlotte mint product. The obverse has multiple die clashes. One faint line on the face does not hold back the Choice quality rating. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1851	MS62	PCGS 34300624	Choice	$1175	New April 15! Brilliant Frosted Luster, Light Honey Green-Gold, Super Eye Appeal, CAC Approval. A better early Philadelphia date without any date premium. This 1851 quarter eagle gold lot presents brilliant frosted luster and as expected coloration. Strike is 98% executed with complete obverse strike and just a touch of weakness at the lower left eagle leg on the reverse. Fields are essentially unabraded while a bit stronger luster would have warranted a TPG MS63 certification. Early 1850s Liberty $2.5 and $5 gold is always population, especially with the CAC green bean. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1851-O VP-001	AU58	NGC 4928446006	Choice	$2250	1851/1851-O, Steely Frosted Luster, Honey Green-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Oregon Beaver Collection. 1851 New Orleans struck $2.5 gold will occasionaly be located with bold repunching below the final 1 digit. 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.
	1852-C	AU58	NGC 4925604005	Original	$7250	Very Rare Grade, Classic Charlotte Green-Gold Coloring, Near-Choice Surfaces, Oregon Beaver Collection. 1852 Charlotte production for $2.5 quarter eagles dropped to below 10,000 that year and continued at that rate for final five years. Mintage is 9,772 with nearly all circulating extensive. Few survivors are available at the AU58 grade with PCGS only certifying ten as Mint State. Only one fully choice Mint State piece is known. The Oregon Beaver Collection has released a noteworthy example with classic Charlotte green-gold coloring. Luster has an obvious steely texture and is consistent on both sides. I'm being tough but accurate with a near-choice quality rating due to one obverse mark below Liberty's chin. Otherwise the balance of the coin is fully choice. Strike is typical on the reverse. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1853	AU58	PCGS 44024838	Choice	$695	Earlier Philadelphia Date, Classic Gold-Gold Coloration, Fully Choice and Then Some. A pleasing early Liberty $2.5 gold offering with strictly original surfaces and textured frosty luster. This 1853 dated quarter eagle displays classic green-gold coloration along with a 99% full strike. "Dirt" is seen on the lower left obverse as a further validation of the originality. Worthy of a CAC submission and will be heading to Far Hills in early May if not promptly sold. CAC Guide is well above the PCGS price guide at $972 due to low approved populations. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder.
	1855	AU55	PCGS 83062152	Choice	$875	Eye Appealing Orange Green-Gold Coloration, Light Wear. A wonderful 1855 $2.5 example with noteworthy visual presentation. The coloration is orange green-gold with the orange shades being concentrated towards the rims. The contrast with the lighter green center is quite notable on the obverse. Light wear was confirmed with a 10x. This one was added to inventory simply because it is a pretty piece that someone will want to own. Images are accurate with respect to the overall eye appeal. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	1857	MS63	PCGS 3686767	Choice	$1800	Deep Orange Gold, Choice Surfaces, Bold Strike, Oregon Beaver Collection. 1857 Philadelphia struck $2.5 gold amounted to 214,130 pieces rendering the date as affordable if building a date set or just seeking a strictly original type example. This richly toned example arrives courtesy of the Oregon Beaver Collection to the GFRC price list. Orange hues are consistent on both sides while bright light exposure brings about steely reflectance that is much lighter in appearance. Obverse fields are unabraded while the reverse has two "ticks" at the end of the right facing wing. These are mentioned for completeness, given the certified MS63 grade, but of no consequence. I'm quite partial to this type of orange gold and hope you are too. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder.
	1859 Type 2	MS62	PCGS 36550439	Choice	$2250	New June 2! New Reverse, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Yellow-Gold, Complete Strike, Lizard King Collection. The years 1859 through 1861 brought a reverse design hub change for $2.5 Liberty gold. The earlier (Old or Type 1) has and "oval" O in OF while the later (New or Type 2) has a "rounded" O. Mintage for the 1859 date is reported at 39,364 with the New Reverse being the more available of the transitional die variety pair. This example in accurately graded with brilliant frosted luster that sparkles under a light source. Coloration is uniform yellow-gold while the strike is fully executed. A few micro-ticks in the fields are consistent with the certified grade. Another Lizard King duplicate that deserves careful review given the premium quality. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1859 Type 1	AU58	NGC 563548007	Choice	$1200	New June 2! Old Reverse, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Light Honey-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Lizard King Collection. The years 1859 through 1861 brought a reverse design hub change for $2.5 Liberty gold. The earlier (Old or Type 1) has and "oval" O in OF while the later (New or Type 2) has a "rounded" O. Mintage for the 1859 date is reported at 39,364 with the price guides indicating the Old Reverse to be much scarcer of the pair. This Lizard King duplicate is really sweet with brilliant steely-frosted luster and light honey-gold coloration. Bright light review indicates some obverse reflectance while the reverse is 100% frosty. Strike is nearly complete with only the eagle's left leg lacking full definition. A upper reverse contact mark is noted. Housed in NGC 7 (1997-2000) holder with the label capturing the attribution as Type 1 Reverse.
	1860 Old Reverse	EF45	PCGS 3370471	Choice	$2750	New May 7! Old Reverse Hub, Near-Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. This is a compelling offering of the 1860 $2.5 date struck with the old reverse hub design. Previously sold by GFRC from the Lizard King Collection with a miniscule CAC population of only 9 examples. Overall eye appeal is thoroughly pleasing with rich honey green-gold coloration that screams originality. Surfaces are essentially unabraded with a few stray marks of no consequence at the certified grade. This earlier date small denomination Liberty gold piece is also fully struck! This is the lowest CAC approved example in the population. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval.
	1862	AU58	NGC 3311124012	Choice	$3900	Important Civil War Issue, Light Frosty Luster, Green-Gold Coloring, Pristine Surfaces. 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.
	1862	AU58	NGC 6058476006	Choice	$3950	Honey Green-Gold, Well Preserved, Everyman Set Grade, Osprey Collection.

Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	1862	EF45	PCGS 33010848	Choice	$1575	Choice Original, Green-Gold Coloring, Even Wear, Well Preserved, Port Matilda Collection. Price Reduction. Green-gold coloring and partial gold rims are a testament to the care and thoughtful preservation. This lovely 1862 $2.5 gold piece has light uniform wear and is without any abrasions worth nothing. Those that understand early gold will immediately recognize the natural coloring and basis for CAC approval. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder. Another premium release from the Port Matilda Collection.
	1867-S	EF40	NGC 6322929005	Choice	$1025	Scarce Date, Low Mintage, Light Copper-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Oregon Beaver Collection. 1867 does not officially constitute a "Civil War" year strike though the preceding low mintages continues into that year. Only 28,00 San Francisco minted pieces were struck resulting in the date being scarce to rare based on the certified grade. CAC has approved 37 in all grades with the majority being in the EF-AU grade range. This lightly worn example is strictly original with the expected light copper-gold coloration. Strike is typical with strong obverse details and a weak reverse. Surfaces are choice and essentially unabraded. Overall, a pleasing example that is ready for a CAC centric collection. Housed in new large font NGC holder with Long Island Collection pedigree on the label.
	1872-S	MS61	PCGS 42431308	Choice	$5750	Rare in Mint State, Sharply Struck, Frosted Luster, Green-Gold Coloring, Oregon Beaver Collection. The 1872 San Francisco issued $2.5 denomination was limited to 18,000 pieces. At this point experienced numismatist understand that San Francisco coinage promptly went into circulated and remained there for years. Mint State and high end AU survivor are difficult to come by in many series. The Oregon Beaver Collection has released a Mint State example that is quite eye catching. PCGS has certified only 11 pieces including this offering. A fully choice specimen with steely green-gold fields that overlaid by peripheral orange hues. Strike is 100% executed and so pleasing under a 10x. Abrasions are limited to one contact mark and nearly chatter on the reverse under the right facing wing. Overall, I'm more than happy to assign a Choice quality rating and enjoying handing this piece. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2021) holder.
	1874	MS62	PCGS 83245905	Choice	$4250	Superb Eye Appeal, Rare Philadelphia Date, Mirrored Fields, Choice Surfaces, Oregon Beaver Collection. Mirrored fields are immediately noted when first inspecting this rare 1874 $2.5 gold piece. Mintage is a tiny 3,920 pieces with few Mint State survivors certified by PCGS. This Oregon Beaver example warrants close attention as the reflective luster is quite crisp. Coloration is honey-gold with some background greens appearing with angled lighting. Bright light eye appeal is quite pleasing. So why the MS62 grade? A 10x review locates scattered field micro lines and a few ticks. But then again, any coin with mirrored fields will amplify surfaces aberrations. Choice for the grade and a wonderful example of a low mintage rarity. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1878	MS64	PCGS 81628131	Choice	$900	New May 20! Near-Gem Original, Sparkling Luster, Honey Green-Gold, Wisconsin Gold Collection.. U.S. quarter eagle gold still does not secure the respect that it deserves for its many low mintage dates. For example, the 1878 date sports a mintage of only 286,000 but with common date pricing. This Wisconsin Gold release is downright lucious and has not been to CAC given the 2nd CAC-Only auction consignment timing. Included in the lot is a near-gem example with close to pristine surfaces and light honey green-gold coloration. Granular mint frost leads to soft sparkling luster under a bright light. Priced at CAC MS63 guide number as a reference point. Lots of quality at this price point. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1879-S	MS61	PCGS 34391030	Choice	$2500	New June 2! Scarce Final Year Issue, Partially Mirrored Fields, Nice Reflectance, Lizard King Collection. This is the first 1879-S $2.5 gold piece to be handled by GFRC and what a why to get started with the date. Please note this lovely Lizard King Collection duplicate with partially mirrored fields and sharp reflective luster on both sides. Cartwheels are vibrant with angled lighting. Overall coloration is best described as yellow-gold. Strike is typical while the fields are ever so lightly chattered. Overall, a fairly graded example with a competitive offer number. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1891	MS64	PCGS 41436481	Choice	$3750	Rare Uncirculated, Superb Rose-Gold Coloring, Completed Strike, Near-Gem. 1891 Philadelphia $5 gold strikes were limited to 61,360 pieces in an era of massive silver coinage output. Most survivors are found with abrasions and/or light wear. At the MS64 level, this grade becomes rare and even more so with CAC approval. PCGS has not certified a single gem specimen, therefore MS64 and MS64+ graded examples are as good as it gets. GFRC is pleased to be offering one of the MS64 certified survivors that also has CAC approval. An infrequently seen rose-gold coloring is consistent on both sides. Bright light inspection is a joy given the brilliant frosted luster that explodes off the surfaces. Strike is 100% complete and rounds out the checklist for a designating this offering a near-gem. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2021) holder. Previously sold by GFRC during June 2021 for $4350.
	1898	MS66	PCGS 35652967	Gem	$3750	Gem Original, Osprey Collection.. Frosty luster flows from both sides of this 19th century piece, and the overall flash is compelling. Orange-yellow color surrounds pink-gold patina within the central devices. The only mark of note, beneath the chin, nicely blends into the obverse design. The strike is needle-sharp, with complete definition of the stars, claws, and feathers. CAC has approved 105 pieces in all grades, with five coins finer, all in MS67. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	1899	MS63	NGC 370957001	Gem	$1000	New May 4! Brilliant Frosted Luster, Gem Original, Why No Gold CAC?. Intense frosted luster drips from this gem 1899 $2.5 Liberty gold offering from the Running Boar Collection. The cartwheels are equally amazing. The "why no Gold CAC bean" question was rhetorical and to stimulate interest. A 10x review revealed a few faint reverse micro-lines that are holding back a two full point higher grade. I've seen MS64s that did not have this level of luster and blatantly pleasing eye appeal. This lot is a no question JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Housed in pristine NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder with CAC approval.
	1906	MS64+	PCGS 29920855	Gem	$985	New May 20! Superb Eye Appeal, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, A Gem, Wisconsin Gold Collection.. Let's go with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for this eye catching 1906 $2.5 Liberty strike. This piece is very well balanced and will please the buyer for sure. Immediately noted is the brilliant frosted luster that radiates from honey green-gold surfaces. Swirling cartwheels arrive with angled lighting. Surfaces are close to pristine with a single well hidden chat line holding back full gem certification. Not sent to CAC by GFRC or the Wisconsin Gold consignor and moving directly to the price list. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder.
	1907	MS63	PCGS 29920857	Choice	$750	New May 20! Bold Strike, Orange Green-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Wisconsin Gold Collection.. I'm impressed with the visual consistent of the latest Wisconsin Gold Collection consignment. Each quarter eagle is lightly toned with honey green-gold coloration as is the case for this 1907 lot. The luster is brilliant and will "sparkle" when moved throughout a bright light. Strike is also fully executed with deeply impressed motifs. Worthy of careful inspection.

	1929	MS61	NGC Fatty 152837007	Gem	HOLD $865	New May 15! Gem Original.. Yellow-gold surfaces admit occasional orange patina, along with bits of copper shade on the obverse. Surfaces marks are evenly scattered and consistent with the assigned grade. CAC has stickered nine coins total at the Gold level. The CAC price guide is $710 in MS62 and $754 in MS63. Pricing Gold CAC examples is something of an art, as none of the major pricing guides recognize the collectible nature of the Gold sticker. In theory, the coin should be valued as a CAC-approved example at the next highest grade, but the collecting public has pushed these pieces somewhat above that level. This example is offered with a reasonable price bid of $865. Housed in a pristine NGC Gen 4 no-line brown label Fatty holder with Gold CAC approval.

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.

The Osprey Collection continues to explore early U.S. gold and has located a premium example of this date.. This new 1811 Tall 5 example is consistent with recent offerings plus being the first with CAC approval. Frosty luster radiates from greenish-gold surfaces plus peripheral gold.

CAC has certified but four examples of this rare date five, from an original mintage of 5,700 pieces. The Liberty Head half eagle series is extensive and stretches from 1838 to 1908, and few collectors pursue an entire set.

The lack of 19th century branch Mint gold collectors leads to a situation today where MS pieces are non-existent; indeed, the PCGS Coin Facts price guide advances only as high as the AU58 grade, which is assigned a value of $20,000. Only two pieces are represented in the census at that level, while this AU55 piece is tied for third place with 11 other pieces. PCGS has certified 114 pieces in all grades.

Another San Francisco $5 gold date that sports a reasonable mintage but is rare in choice Mint State.

	1909/8	MS62	PCGS 44322232	Choice	$4250	Popular Variety, Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Coloration, Osprey Collection. The lower loop of an 8 digit is obvious within the 9 on this lovely 1909/8 overdate St. Gaudens. This is the only overdate among the gold issues from 1907 to 1933 resulting from a left over 1908 die being repunched with 1909 date and placed into service. This date comes with a "flat look" consistent with the 1908 No Motto issue. Frosted luster is consistent with the certified grade. Coloration is a pleasing honey-gold. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 holder and from the Osprey Collection.
	1909/8	AU55	PCGS 40968943	Choice	$3050	A Hint of Rub, Popular Overdate, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Green-Gold Coloration. Another example of the popular 1909/8 overdate where the final digit appears as an 8 rather than a 9 due to filled lower loop. Brilliant frosted luster is not impeded by the light wear that is consistent with the assigned grade. This piece brings on classic greenish-gold coloration. Two abrasions are noted on the reverse while the primary obverse focal area is pristine and unabraded. A thoroughly pleasing example with CAC approval. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder.
	1911-S	MS65	NGC 1742857002	Gem	$9700	Unquestionable Gem, Light Orange-Gold Coloration, Scarce at Grade, Osprey Collection. A low mintage (775,750) issue that quickly becomes scarce at the full gem level. The Osprey Collection is back to the price list with this 1911-S NGC MS65 specimen that is CAC approved. The green bean is not surprising given the brilliant frosted luster that visually presents a micro-granular texture. The obverse is entirely unabraded and a joy to inspection under bright light. A few micro-ticks were seen on the reverse with 10x. Coloration is a light orange-gold which I often describe as honey-gold. Housed in NGC Gen 9 (2001-2003) holder.
	1913-D	MS63	PCGS 37529070	Choice	$3950	Better Early St. Gaudens Date, Honey-Gold Coloration, Radiant Frosted Luster. Mintage of the 1913-D $20 Saint Gaudens date amounted to 393,500 strike. All three 1913 issues including Philadelphia and San Francisco strikes are seen as better dates, especially when researching the CAC population reports. A total of 183 Denver struck pieces have been approved in all grades. This latest GFRC new purchase exhibits pretty honey-gold coloration and brilliant frosted luster. Surfaces are minimally abraded considering the certified grade. Overall, a pleasing specimen that is certain to delight the new owner. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.
	1924	MS66	PCGS 44845298	Gem	$3650	Gem $20 Type, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Coloration, Pristine Surfaces. Handling superb gem $20 Saints always brings a smile to my face. At this grade level, the surfaces are expected to be unabraded along with superior overall eye appeal. Such is the case for this gem 1924 Saint. Angled lighting exposes brilliant frosted luster and swirling cartwheels. Most important are the pristine surfaces which provide an undisturbed viewing experience, especially at the all important upper obverse focal area. Competitively priced at market levels for the superior quality. A new purchase that has not been submitted to CAC. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder.
	1924	MS65	NGC Fatty 136779005	Gem	$3750	Scintillating Gem, Intense Frosted Luster, Dancing Cartwheels. In the coin business, there are "commercial" gems and there are extraordinary gems. This 1924 double eagle falls into the latter category with scintillating frosted luster and dancing cartwheels. The primary obverse focus area is free of distractions too. Coloration is a honey green-gold with greens shades being available under angled lighting. This piece is the complete package with its pristine early generation Fatty holder. Housed in NGC Gen 3 (1988-1989) holder with CAC approval.
	1924	MS64	NGC 363081014	Choice	$2800	Brilliant Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Coloring, Osprey Collection. Eye appeal is always an important consideration when purchasing U.S. gold. For $20 Saints, the obverse area surrounding Liberty's head should be completely unabraded as the primary focal point. This is the case for this lovely 1924 NGC certified $20 offering. Overall luster is best labeled as frosted with brilliance consistent with the certified grade. Honey-gold coloring is typical for the issue. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder with CAC approval. Another new offering from the Osprey Collection.
