 MS62 NGC
1606799008 		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.

Gold G$1 1853 1853
 MS62 NGC
6688309001 		Choice $600 Popular Type 1 Date, Honey Green-Gold, Frosted Luster, Fully Struck. The Type 1 gold dollar design, "the Liberty Head" was employed from 1849 through 1854. The 1853 date is available and is always a great type coin candidate. This Osprey example features honey green-gold coloration and soft frosted luster.

 AU58 PCGS
03928171 		Choice $415 New November 29! 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.

 NGC Fatty
172694004 		Choice $1350 Near-Gem Original.. Consignor Buyout, Price Reduction. Vibrant luster radiates from the smooth surfaces of this near-Gem Type I example, highlighting the razor-sharp strike. This issue is a better date, representing the second-lowest Philadelphia production among Type I pieces. The Mint concluded Type I production in this year, moving to a larger planchet size for Type II pieces. Light die cracks are evident at both rims.

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.

 AU55
 NGC
2689500010 		Choice $895 Type 2 Indian Princess Date, Steely-Frosted Luster, Yellow Green-Gold. Keeping Type 2 Indian $1 gold is stock is an ongoing challenge. The 1855 date and the 1854 Type 2s continue to see pricing appreciation, especially when CAC approved.

37721658 		Choice $3250 New November 20! 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.

 PCGS
20190185 		Choice $1425 Gem Original, Island City Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction! Production of one-dollar gold pieces fell drastically following the onset of the Civil War and never truly recovered. Annual mintages in the thousands are typical, and the Guide Book lists a long string of four-figure production levels. Even though somewhat available given higher than average survival rates, the allure of a low mintage figure remains compelling. This example exhibits frosty yellow-orange color with the lightest patina at the rims. CAC notes 122 pieces total, with 105 coins finer, and assigns a value of $1,580 in MS64.

Gold G$2.5 1840C 1840-C
 AU58 PCGS
21909573 		Choice $8500 Rare Grade, Initial New Orleans Liberty Design Strike, Honey Green-Gold, Choice Surfaces. 1840 brought the introduction of Christian Gobrecht's coronet type obverse design which was struck at the four production mints. The Charlotte issue is recognized for being well struck, actually one of the best years in terms of overall strike quality for a small mintage of 12,822. This example an overall pleasing center strike with well defined hair curls and nearly complete eagle leg feathers. However, the obverse stars are flat. This is a GFRC-Choice example that offers partially mirrored fields that become reflective under a bright light. Coloration is a honey green-gold from original surfaces. Raised die lumps are noted at the final two stars along with circular lathe lines behind LIBERTY. This specimen has been to CAC for stickering evaluation but failed to bean.

$860 		Small Date, Choice Original, Oregon Beaver Collection. The Oregon Beaver Collection is back with a pleasing 1843 New Orleans $2.5 gold strike with a classic green-gold presentation. This is the more "available" Small Date variety with residual steely luster under a bright light. Surfaces are free of significant abrasions while the strike is close to fully executed with well defined lower curls and only some weakness on the eagle's lower left le. The 1843-O Small Date is recognized as having a high mintage. This availability allows for collectors to be selective with a purchase when seeking an early type example. This lovely survivor definitely qualifies and warrants a GFRC-Choice original quality rating and your consideration. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.

VP-001 		AU58 NGC

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.

This piece original had semi-proof like fields with frosted devices. The old wipe has dulled the mirrors and the mint frost. Priced at nearly 50% back of the PCGS price guide.

 NGC
3891583012 		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.

 AU53
 CACG
650219513 		Choice $850 New November 20! 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 . Housed in new CAC Grading holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.

3311124012 		Choice $3650 Important Civil War Issue, Light Frosty Luster, Green-Gold Coloring, Pristine Surfaces. Consignor Price Reduction. 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.

 MS60 NGC
1737660010 		Choice $2750 Challenging Low Mintage Date, Partially Mirrored, Fully Struck. Regardless of mintage of only 3,600 pieces, GFRC is pleased to be offering three examples of the 1868 quarter eagle as released from an old time collection. This is a partially mirrored example with sharp reflectance on both sides. When viewing the GFRC images, please note that the coin is tilted in its NGC holder resulting in a top to bottom color gradient. The overall coloration is a consistent yellow gold. GFRC has assigned a Choice quality rating as the light field abrasions are consistent with the certified grade. A 10x review notes a complete strike with fully detailed eagle feathers and talons along with bold lower hair curls on the obverse. This lot was submitted to CAC and was not approved. Regardless, I like the coin and believe that it is the best of the three being offered. How often do $2.5 gold specialists have an opportunity to review three examples of this date in nearly identical grades? Housed in NGC 14 (2003-2004) holder.

Mint State example are rare with the PCGS population indicating only 14 certified in all uncirculated grades consistent with a mintage of 3,600 during the immediate post Civil War years. Coloration is honey-gold. A 10x review notes light field chatter and a few light obverse hairlines that are undeniably consistent with the certified grade.

3386564002 		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 overall coloration is a pleasing rich honey-gold. The strike is 100% complete with finely detail center hair curls and eagle feathers at the wing tips. Two lines are noted in the lower right obverse field which are amplified against a mirrored surface backdrop. The CDN price guide is $1700 and jumps to $3250 at the "MS60" level.

13232620 		Choice HOLD
$7500 		Very Scarce Date, Superb Eye Appeal, Mirrored Fields, Sharp Reflective Luster, Choice Overall. Honestly, I though this luscious 1870 $2.5 Liberty gold piece would bean at CAC. This is a very scarce date with only four finer at PCGS. The overall eye appeal is outstanding as the fields are heavily mirrored with sharp reflectance radiating under angled lightly. The overall strike is complete with intricately detailed eagle devices and well defined star center points and hair curls. The strike is so sharp that circular lathe lines can be seen behind Liberty's eye and the scroll lettering. Coloration is a honey green-gold . As with any coin having mirrored fields any lines or rub will be amplified as is the case here and the potential reason for a rejection at CAC. The GFRC images accurately illustrate the eye appeal which leads me to issue a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. CAC has only approved seven total and a single MS61 with none finer This lot is so close IMHO and warrants strong consideration as the advanced collector will not be disappointed. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

This example also presents partially mirrored fields on the obverse while the reverse falls into the steely-frosted realm. An unquestionably original example with obverse field chatter being noted and consistent with the certified grade. 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. How cool is it that GFRC is offering 25% of the PCGS holdered examples at one time on the price list. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

 AU58
 NGC
451800005 		Choice $2500 Superb Eye Appeal, Steely Fields, Honey Green-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Low CAC Population. Mintage for 1871 Philadelphia $2.5 gold amounted to only 5,320 strike. Many will be found with varying mirrors. This example offers fields that fall into the steely realm with some reflectively under a bright light. The coloration is an expected green-gold. Strike is 100% complete with fully detailed stars, hair curls, and reverse motifs. A few wispy lines are seen are both sides both none of any consequence. The CAC census presently stands at 15 with none certified at CACG. The population report indicates three at the AU58 level followed by three in "62" at triple the premium. Given the low availability when this choice, we have priced this lot at the CDN CAC MS60 guide level. Worthy of special consideration. Housed in NGC 25 (2008) holder with CAC approval.

The issue is scarce but available. This newly consigned example resides in a certified AU58 holder and offers brilliant steely-frosted luster under a bright light. The yellow-gold coloration is typical of the issue., The overall strike is strong but still exhibiting weakness at the upper curls and the lower left eagle leg with partial feathers consistent with that seen on the CoinFacts plate coins (MS65+). A few scattered field ticks are noted but part of the overall charm. The CAC census is presently 29 approved examples with four finer. Housed in NGC 17 (2004-2008) holder with CAC approval.

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.

The overall strike is close to complete with only the left eagle leg lacking full definition. There are several reverse contact marks on the E in UNITED and between ES in STATES that requires mention. Housed in NGC 17 (2004-2008) holder.
Gold G$2.5 1874 1874
 AU58 NGC
1578506007 		Original $1150 Scarce in All Grades, Semi-Proof Like, Sharp Reflectance, Yellow Green-Gold. The Philadelphia $2.5 issues during 1868 through 1874 have a reported mintage ranging from 3,600 (1868) to 5,320 (1871) when excluding the 1873 Closed and Open 3s. 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.

 AU55
 NGC
3380619001 		Choice $1350 Low Mintage Issue, Crusty Green-Gold Patina, Undisputed Originality, CAC Approved. The Liberty $2.5 gold series is replete with low mintage dates that would bring huge premiums if in smaller sliver denominaitons. The 1874 Philadephia issue is an example with only 3,920 struck. Survivors with completely unmolested or improved surfaces are few and fae between. The fact that CAC has only approved 17 in all grade should give pause as to the important of this offering. This is an undisputedly original speciment with lightly crusted green-gold surfaces and minimal marks. The GFRC images accurate illustrate the surfaces and overal strike which is adequate but not hammered. Priced at the CDN CAC price guide value of $1,350.

6061089004 		Choice $695 Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Coloration, Complete Strike, Scenic Lakeview Collection. Whether searching for a $2.5 gold type coin or just placing nice examples in a PCGS blue box, this quality 1878 $2.5 should work just fine. Frosted luster coupled with honey-gold hues combine for a pleasing viewing experience. I like the coin at the grade as the strike is all there. A reverse line above the eagle most likely accounts for the technical grade though the visuals are better. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

 MS61 PCGS
34391030 		Choice $2500 Scarce Final Year Issue, Partially Mirrored Fields, Nice Reflectance, Lizard King Collection.

 AU58
 NGC
3316954002 		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.

This is a better date with only 2,960 pieces issued. Rich honey-gold, that borders on orange-gold, should be evident from the GFRC images. Under a bright light, the obverse exhibits sharp reflectivity from lightly mirrored fields while the reverse radiance being a tad more steely. The strike is complete with well defined motifs. Surface and field rub is noted primarily in the obverse. A choice example that is fairly priced. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder.

3601093018 		Choice $1750 Semi-Prooflike, Scarce Low Mintage Date, Honey-Gold, Choice Surfaces. 1884 Philadelphia strikes were limited to only 1,950 pieces rendering this date as very scarce to rare in all grades. GFRC is fortunate to be offering two examples from an old time collection. This AU58 certified lot features mirrored fields as is typical for the issue. Under a 10x, this is light wear in the fields. Coloration is honey-gold while the strike is essentially complete with only the left eagle leg feathers not being completely defined. Under a bright light, the mirrored radiate a significant amount of reflective brilliance. The offer price is most reasonable given the tiny mintage and lack of availability.

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.

Surfaces are well preserved with the obverse still retaining lightly mirrored fields and residual reflectivity under a bright light. Both sides provide undisturbed viewing as the fields are smooth with ample luster. A premium example that warrants considered. To make the point, a JUST BUY IT NOW call out is being made as this piece should not be passed up by serious 19th century gold collectors.

$1350 		New November 22! Choice Original, Light Copper Green-Gold, Rare With CAC Approval, White Pine Collection. Enthusiats of earlier Liberty $5 gold may wish to consider this challenging 1871-S specimen with moderate wear and CAC approval. The CAC census is a miniscule 14 pieces with this lot being one of the lowest graded to be approved. The price point is certainly complelling given a rapid premium rise in EF40 or better. This choice survivor is toned with light copper overlaid on a green-gold base. Fields are minimally abraded, especially on the reverse. Mintage is a tiny 25,000 pieces for a branch mint issue.

The White Pine rare branch mint $5 Liberty gold parade continues with this 1874-S offering. The date is rare in all grades with the typical survivors being in the VF30 to EF40 grade range. This example is an accurately graded EF40 with orange-gold toning and residual steely reflective fields. The strike is nearly complete other than the arrow feathers on the reverse. A careful 10x inspection revealed an essentially unabraded obverse while the reverse presents light chatter, none of which is consequential and consistent with the certified grade. The PCGS price guide stands at $2500 with recent auction records approaching that level. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder.

The 1880-CC $5 gold piece is on the lower end of the survival scale when reviewing the CAC population report. A total of 65 examples have been approved with the bulk of the distribution between EF45 and AU58 at substantially higher premiums. If wishing to own a piece of early Carson City issued gold, this moderately worn example presents a compelling entry point. Surfaces are entirely original with the expected copper-gold patina. A few circulation marks attest to the fact that this lot did circulate in the early frontier period. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

Hound Dog Dan is back with yet another European purchase for the price list that is most impressive. This 1884-CC $5 gold piece is scarce in all grades and commands a substantial premium as a Carson City date. First noted was the flawless preservation after 10x inspection. The surfaces are just pristine with light wear on the high points and fields. Coloration is classic honey green-gold while the luster is frosted. Cartwheels are all there and vibrant. The obverse has multiple die scratches including through LIBE(RTY) and another from below the eye and down through the cheek. A die spur is obvious at the left edge of the neck. Worthy of its GFRC Choice quality rating and a CAC submission by the new owner. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder.

46044320 		Choice $6150 Condition Census Offering, Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Presentation, Fully Choice, CACG Holder. Since sporting a mintage of 293,900, the 1888-S $5 gold date is often treated as a "common date" in lower grades though one could argue that the date is scarce in all grades as a starting point. The situation shifts dramatically in Mint State where this date becomes very rare at the choice grade level. GFRC is pleased to be offering this CAC Grading example at the MS63 certified level. Only three examples have been stickered along with this CACG holdered specimen. The CDN CAC report indicates only one finer at MS64 without pricing guidance. This under appreciated example offers choice surfaces and glowing frosted luster. Under a bright light, the honey green-gold presentation is immediately evident. Worthy of serious consideration by U.S. gold collectors who seek an under appreciated rarity. Housed in new CAC Grading (2023) holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.

6315411 		Choice HOLD
$2250 		New November 23! Low Mintage Date, Gem Original, Rich Orange Gold, Lightly Mirrored, CAC Gold, White Pine Collection. GFRC's recent CAC submission yielded a Gold CAC bean for this eye appealing 1889 half eagle that is housed in a PCGS Gen 3.0 (1990-1993) old green holder. The PCGS old green label holders continue to be prime candidates for the "exceeded" approval. Orange honey-gold patina is noted on both sides while mirrored surfaces are noted on the obverse and a shift to frosted luster on the reverse. Any wear on the cheek and hair curls is not evident with a 10x, therefore the Gold bean is credible. U.S. gold specialists should take note given the tiny mintage of 7,520. The 1889 date is a very scarce issue in all grades. Most survivors are found with partially mirrored surfaces as is the case for this example. An angled lighting review reveals bright reflectance and a melting of the darker honey-gold in-hand coloration. The CAC population is 26 in all grades.

Given its tiny mintage of 4,240, this 1890 $5 issue is challenging to locate in most grades. GFRC is pleased to be offering an AU58 certified example with CAC approval. Overall coloration is a honey green-gold with lighter shades during angled lighting review. An originally preserved example that has steely fields and moderate reflectance.

 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.

$1400 		New November 2! Low Mintage Issue, Lightly Mirrored Fields, Honey Green-Gold, Choice Overall, White Pine Collection. U.S. quarter and half eagle Liberty gold is full of low mintage issues as is the case with this 1894-O offering from the White Pine Collection at 16,600. This is an accurately graded AU58 example with notable eye appeal. Light rub is noted on Liberty's check and hair curls. Both sides exhibit steely-frosted luster with some reverse cartwheel under angled lighting. Noted gold specialist, Doug Winter, opines at the PCGS price guide that "every example of this date that I have seen displays deep abrasions o the obverse and reverse." Though this lot does have a few light abrasions, the eye appeal is dominated by the luster and coloring. Worthy of a GFRC-Choice quality rating and certain to please the new owner.

82147101 		Choice HOLD
$1500 		New November 23! Underrated Date, Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Fully Choice, White Pine Collection. The White Pine $5 Liberty branch mint release wraps up with a lovely 1894-S example that warrants its GFRC-Choice quality rating. This piece did visit the CAC office in Bedminster NJ but was unfortunately not approved. I'm impressed with the piece due to its brilliant frosted luster and active cartwheels under a bright light. The overall strike is complete which further adds to the charm. Coloration is a light honey-gold. This piece could have a minor repunched mintmark as I see an extra serif protruding to the right of the upper serif. Within the PCGS price guide, David Akers stresses that this date is one of the most underrated and undervalued in the series. Mintage is only 55,900 with a population of 25 at the certified grade and an upwardly revised fair market value of $2000. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

Another San Francisco $5 gold date that sports a reasonable mintage but is rare in choice Mint State. Even in the late 19th century, west coast coinage had few collectors to selectively "put pieces away" for the long term. As a result, the 1895-S date brings a substantial premium when CAC approved. All but 9 of the 45 approved are at the circulated level. The Osprey Collection is offering a choice example that exhibits pretty sparkling frosty luster and swirling cartwheels. Coloration is a light honey-gold. Scattered field chatter accounts for the certified grade. Only four are finer. Fairly priced for the rarity.

 NGC
6331828001 		Gem $1500 Superb Type Offering, Granular Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Coloration, Osprey Collection. The 1905 $5 gold issue is ideal for type since there is no date premium associated with a mintage of 302,200. This date is considered slightly scarcer than "common" for those who keep track of gold date rarity. The Osprey Collection has hit a homerun with this example purchased at the Pittsburgh ANA. Tightly textured frosted luster is softly brilliant and thoroughly pleasing under a light source. Coloration is a uniform honey-gold with "dirt" free surfaces. Strike is bold and complete. The MS64+ grade is technically accurate as there is scattered field chatter, however the overall eye appeal won the day at CAC. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

The 1908 San Francisco struck 1908 $5 gold Indian was produced in limited quantities with only 82,000 struck. This is a moderately rare date as a scan of Collectors Corner or gold dealer price list will easily validate. Sufficient survivors are known though the date remains challenging with patience required to locate an unmolested example. This choice offering, just take in trade, offers crisp steely-frosted luster and orange green-gold coloration. An absolutely original piece with practically unblemished surfaces. This example has not been to CAC and rather, heads immediately to the price list at an attractive offer price. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder.

The application of angled lighting, with my desk lamp, allows the surfaces to radiate light in all directions. Coloration is a rich honey-gold with background greens. A touch of chatter in the upper right reverse field holds this one back from a certified gem opinion. This is a really pretty piece that is certain to please.

This new offering is a perfect $5 Indian type coin given its glowing satiny luster and vibrant cartwheels. The strike details on the headband feathers are quite impressive as are the reverse eagle feathers being deeply impressed. Coloration is honey-gold with no visual distraction under a bright light. 10x review reveals some scattered field chattered above the eagle's head which most likely accounts for the (+) grade rather than near-gem certification. CAC approval is fully warranted. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.

At the MS64 grade, the 1910 and 1914 dates have 69 and 62 examples approved respective with other dates being more available. This new purchase is very well preserved and so close to a full GFRC-Gem quality rating. Crisp satiny luster establishes a notable "glow" when activated by the office desk lamp. Surfaces are essentially unabraded on this honey green-gold colored example. If building a premium Indian $5 gold set, this piece would easily establish itself as a long term keeper.

Rusty Goe suggests a survival of 375-450 in all grades with this newly released Osprey Collection example being at a compelling grade.

As the final Carson City issue in the series, the 1893-CC ten is highly sought-after in all grades. The small 14,000 piece mintage ensures overall scarcity for surviving examples. CAC has approved 55 in all grades with roughly half being at the AU55/AU58 levels. In terms of 20th century coinage populations, there are few green bean stickered 1893-CC $10 gold to satisfy collector demand. The Osprey Collection is back with a really sweet example that is a pleasure to post to the GFRC price list. Abrasions are always an issue for larger gold pieces and the first attribute checked during a 10x review. This lot presents essentially unabraded surfaces that are a joy to examine. Also note is orange mint frost at the date, the denomination/mintmark, and the upper reverse that validates the strict originality. Overall coloration is a honey gold with hints of green-gold under a bright light. The consistent strike further enhances the charm. I'm going with a JUSY BUY IT NOW recommendation as Osprey has set an offer price below the $121,100 CAC price guide number. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

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.
