Pricing Comments:Liberty Seated quarters are probably the most under valued seated coinage denomination. The full date and mintmark set is extremely difficult to complete due to length and individual date rarities. Weak strikes are also an ongoing issue for many dates including weak head and breast details and incomplete definition of reverse feathers. You will find competitive retail asking prices for nice original and problem free coins. Quarters with small issues will be discounted accordingly.

Rotated Reverses:Reverse images are best effort to capture the actual reverse rotation with respect to obverse position. If a rotated reverse is seen in the images, then this is how the quarter appeared during photography and the descriptions may not include specific comments as to the observation.

One sees many 1838 dated No Drapery quarters on the market while the 1839 date is much more challenging to locate. Poor strikes on No Drapery designs are also a substantial issue as few example are struck up enough to appreciate the artistry of Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht. GFRC is pleased to offer this natural 1839 example that is freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Surfaces are so crusty original with brown-gray patina and some ebony highlights mostly at right obverse rim. Strike is considered complete for the No Drapery design due to pervasive weakness. All stars have connected centrils and all reverse devices are deeply impressed. If one wishes to be exact, there is just a touch of weakness at the top of Liberty's head. Reverse horizontal bisecting die crack is bold and consistent with Briggs 1-A illustrations. Blemishes are limited to a few fully toned over random ticks that are of no consequence. Grading is accurate. A strong offering with CAC approval that deserves special attention by avid Seated quarter collectors. Taken in trade at the 2020 FUN show from a GFRC client.

This obverse of the 1841-O double die obverse is distinct, and most quarter collectors could immediately attribute the piece based on the obverse shield alone, with doubling most prominent on LIBERTY. This example exhibits brilliant toning with hints of greenish-gold and burgundy. Creamy, frosty luster covers both sides, while the strike is typical with some soft stars and blending of the feather detail. A number of doubled-die 1841-O quarters were uncovered in the 1982 New Orleans hoard, many of which suffered environment damage. Whether this piece came from the hoard or not, it is clearly one of the more appealing survivors. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert with "DDO, FS-001" indicated on the labeling.

Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. The NGC label reads DDO, FS-001. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection. Listed as #3 in the Top 25 Die Varieties set and fairly priced consistent with the pricing table at www.seateddimevarieties.com.

An attractive example of the #3 entry in the Top 25 Varieties set; 1841-O double die obverse. Frankly I was expecting a VF35/EF40 grade from PCGS due to the strict originality coupled with steely fields and luster. Strike is a tad weak and could have been seen as wear by those not familiar with the variety. Srufaces are covered with light gray patina with the fields being quite active under a bright light. Obverse die doubling is bold under a 10x loupe with the shield and stars 1 and 2 being most distinct. Undergraded and housed in 2015 holder with edge view insert.

The new buyer will immediately enjoy the hammered strike and rich gray-copper gold patina. Toning melts under a light source to expose proof-like fields and faint gold and blue shades. Surfaces are entirely blemish free and appealing. Luster is the grade limiting issue and a common problem for heavily toned silver coins with proof like surfaces. Overall, close to JUST BUY IT NOW status as I really like this piece and you should too. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert.

If planning to build a mint state set of Liberty Seated quarters, then this Sunset Point Collection offering should be immediately scooped up. 1842-O Large Date quarters are fairly available in circulated grades up to EF45. In AU, the population quickly thins out along fewer in mint state. Let's shift to this example. Mirrored fields and classic old album ring toning are the key highlights along with a complete strike. Center rose and peripheral blues are consistent on both sides. Under a bright light, the obverse shifts to sky blue at the stars. The reverse adds a thin golden arc at the periphery along with blues and a rose center. A really eye appealing example of a difficult to locate choice in mint state. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. In hand inspection on a bourse floor is definitely warranted.

With status as a Guide Book-listed variety, the demand for this coin is strong, and this piece won't last long. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with the Small Date designation noted on the label.

This example exhibits even "coin gray" with no major distractions. The 1847-O quarter is notorious for weak strikes, an effect that is somewhat muted on lower grade examples such as this. Normal circulation wear tends to blend with the incomplete strike and coiner's lack of attention becomes less distracting. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

	1849	EF40	PCGS 80655250	Briggs 3-B	Choice	$375	Choice Original, Classic Gun Metal Gray-Blue Patina, Well Struck, Accurately Graded, Running Boar Collection. A lovely 1849 Philadelphia strike with classic gun metal gray-blue patina on both sides. Surfaces are choice and without blemishes . Strike is well executed with all stars having connected centrils. Definitely warranting a Choice quality rating and then some. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. Part of a partial Liberty Seated quarter set purchase and returning to GFRC inventory. Last sold May 2018.
	1849	EF45	PCGS 83136425	Briggs 1-A	Original	New Price $540	New May 25! Compass Point Reverse, Near Choice Original, Fully Struck, Lenny Rizzo Collection. Strong strikes are the hallmark of Philadelphia quarters of this period, and this example is no excretion with boldly impressed stars and deep relief evident in the reverse legend. The central figures boldly emerge from the surrounding fields, and the production crew in the Philadelphia Mint were no doubt proud of their workmanship, which was clearly superior to the New Orleans coinage. Gray shades cover both sides, with light copper in the protected areas and more intense tones in the obverse right field. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-date) holder.
	1849-O	VF20	PCGS 25245182	Briggs 1-A	Choice	HOLD $3100	Series New Orleans Key Date, Crusty Gray Patina, Choice Original Surfaces, Golden Harvest Collection. The mintage for 1849 New Orleans strikes is unrecorded with Briggs estimating a mintage of 16,000 pieces. Few example ever reach the marketplace. However, GFRC customers have been lucky to have access to a steady flow of this date due to collector divestment. The Golden Harvest Collection is back with an important VF20 duplicate for your consideration after recently purchasing an upgrade. Natural surfaces are choice and unabraded. The assigned grade is quite conservative given the elevated obverse scroll and available device details. Uniform gray patina covers both side with some lighter shades on the lower reverse. A strictly original offering that will fill that key date hole in your Liberty Seated quarter collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1849-O	F12	raw	Briggs 1-A	Cleaned	$1650	Key Date, R5+ Rarity at Grade, Gray-Rose Patina, Lightly Wiped, West Texas Collection.. There must be dozens of Dansco or Whitman Liberty Seated quarter collections that lack the 1849-o and big four Carson City dates. The 1849-O remains underrated and so scarce in all grades. Luckily for album collectors, the West Texas Collection is divesting a reasonable 1849-O example with full Fine 12 device details. This piece has seen a light wipe on the lower obverse and right obverse. The light gray patina has been removed in those areas as a contrast to the regular toning. A ancient line also runs from the rim down through Liberty's head to the right facing arm. Definitely not perfect, but at the same time, enough original color remains to fit in well with original pieces in a Dansco album.
	1850	AU53	PCGS 21019051	Brigg 1-A	Original	$635	Misplaced Digit on Denticles, Steely Fields, Gray Patina, Residual Luster, Woodbridge Collection. A popular Liberty Seated quarter die variety with errant or "misplaced" 1 digit on the denticles direct below the 1 digit punch. Included in the Top 25 Varieties set as published by Greg Johnson. The 1850 Philadelphia date is also challenging in higher circulated grades given a mintage of 190,800 with a portion being melted during the silver arbitrage era that took place from 1850 until 1853 planchet silver weight reduction. The Woodbridge Collection is back with a near-choice original offering. Steely surfaces are covered with a natural gray patina. Strike is essentially complete with all obverse stars having connected central. The eagle's left facing leg has lacks complete definition as is so typical for the series. Several ancient and toned over marks in the obverse field hold this offering from a Choice quality rating. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder.
	1850	EF40	raw	Briggs 1-A	Cleaned	$225	Errant 1 on Denticles, Old Clean, Retoning Golden-Gray, West Texas Collection. A challenging San Francisco date with a small mintage of 190,800 pieces. Many were melted for their silver bullion content during the 1850-1853 silver arbitrage timeframe leading to a silver weight reduction. This survivor has been cleaned in the past and is recovering an olive-gold patina on the obverse and portions of the reverse. A 10x loupe inspection does not find hairlines, rather the surfaces are dull with the natural luster impacted. From the West Texas Collection.
	1850-O	MS63	PCGS 21713995	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$4500	Challenging In Mint State, Mirrored Fields, Reflective Cartwheel Luster, Heavily Rusted Obverse, Completely Struck, Choice Surfaces, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. The 1850-O is a surprisingly scarce issue in Mint State despite a respectable (by early O-mint standards) mintage of 412,000 pieces. Most of these coins were either heavily circulated or melted. Typically struck for the issue, the stars are a little soft on the obverse and heavy die rust shows over the obverse devices. Both sides display a thin coating of silver-gray patina, otherwise the fields are lightly mirrored. Pre-1853 Seated quarters from New Orleans are scarcer than their Philadelphia counterparts, and the 1850-O is especially rare in Mint State. This golden-toned MS63 example is among the finest-known. A quick check of auction records, for this date, revealed that most mint state survivors will have similar golden toning bands. PCGS population report indicates seven at the MS63 level with only one finer. Luster is reflective and the strike is sharp. Liberty's figure shows moderate die rust consistent for the Briggs 1-A die pairing. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1850-O	VF25	PCGS 29100386	Briggs 1-A	Choice	New Price $285	New May 25! Choice Original, Crusty Gray Patina, Well Struck, Lenny Rizzo Collection. Deep gray and copper fields surround the lighter central figures on this better-date New Orleans quarter. A few marks are evident within the reverse shield, but the fields are smooth for the grade. Briggs 1-A with the mintmark to the left. The strike is typical for the issue, with flat stars and weakness in the date. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2014-2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	1851	EF40	PCGS 84309046		Choice	$875	Underrated Pre-1853 Melt Date, Choice Original Surfaces, Light Charcoal Gray Patina, CAC Approval. Locating 1851 Philadelphia Seated quarters in choice original condition will prove to be a challenging pursuit. Total mintage was only 160,000 pieces followed by heavy circulation and low survival rates due to pre-1853 silver bullion arbitrage. This date is a no question scarce issue with a surviving population similar to its 1851-O counterpart, which is considered to be rare. CAC has only stickered 23 total with 11 better than this EF40 specimen. Most of these are probably locked up in strong collector hands. The offered example sports light charcoal gray patina with darker shades immediately around the major devices. Choice surfaces retain some residual luster that becomes apparent under a light source. Strike is typical for the date. This piece should fit nicely into a Liberty Seated date and mintmark set which has emphasis on CAC approved pieces. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval.
	1851	MS64	PCGS 6560890	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$4000	Near Gem Original, Sunset Point Collection. 1851 Philadelphia strikes are a semi-scarce issue with small mintage of only 160,000 coins. The surviving population is similar to that of the 1851-O, which is generally considered to be more rare. Many of the 1851 Philadelphia and New Orleans strikes were probably exported to Europe for melting. On this Briggs 1-A survivor, many vertical lines extend upward into the horizontal lines on the reverse shield. Strike is complete and sharp. Under alight source, brilliant reflective luster tickles the eyes. A light, mint-caused grease mark crosses Liberty's outstretched shin. Attractive nonetheless, with flashy surfaces and mint-fresh appeal. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1851	EF45	raw	Briggs 1-A	Original	$875	Underrated Date, Original Light Gray, Residual Luster, Fully Struck, Sunset Point Collection. A date that is much scarcer than its mintage would imply. Few examples are seen, and when arriving to market, bringing strong premiums over the price guides. The original example is fully struck with light gray surfaces. Residual luster is immediately evident during bright light viewing. An important offering from the Sunset Point Collection of Liberty Seated Quarter duplicates.
	1851	EF45	NGC 2737637014	Briggs 1-A	Original	$995	Scarce Philadelphia Date, Crusty Olive-Gray Patina, Golden Arm Collection. The 1851 is one of the tougher dates in the Philadelphia Seated quarter series, as many of this issue (and the 1852) were melted prior to the Coinage Act of 1853, which lowered the weight of the quarter by about 7%. Olive-gray hues covers both sides, more vibrantly on the obverse and offset by wear on the high points, which are lighter. This a Briggs 1-A, with a distinctly upward sloping date and reverse shield verticals extending into the horizontal lines. The first 1 in the date is crooked, a reminder that punching digits was no exact science. Conversely, this adds to the charm of these 19th century coins. Housed in a new large font NGC holder.
	1851	VF35	PCGS 26420280	Briggs 1-A	Original	New Price HOLD $550	New May 25! Scarce Date, Reflective Fields, Lenny Rizzo Collection. The 1851 is well-known as a tougher date by Seated quarter collectors, as many were melted prior to the devaluation of silver coinage in 1853. Russet and gray fields cover the obverse of this example, while the reverse boasts splashes of blue and burgundy. The strike is typical with flat stars on the right and some incomplete eagle feathers. Briggs 1-A with reverse shield verticals extending into the horizontal band. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder.
	1851	F12	PCGS 32818697		Original	HOLD $340	Challenging Philadelphia Date, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Ebony-Gray Fields, Woodbridge Collection. An underrated Philadelphia date due to silver arbitrage during the 1850 through early 1853 time frame. Much rarer than its reported mintage of 160,000. This duplicate offering, from the Woodbridge Collection, is strict original with old time circulated cameo eye appeal. A thick crusty ebony-gray patina covers the fields while main devices are faint olive. Additional verdigris surrounds the date and reverse legend. Talk about crusty original! Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1852	AU53	NGC 4251137009	Briggs 2-B	Original	$775	Business Strike Dies, Scarce Date, Residual Frosty Luster, Faint Rose Toning, Rev. McClure Pedigree. Housed in new large font NGC holder with Rev. Dr. James G. K. McClure pedigree on the label.
	1852	AU50	PCGS 37193506	Briggs 2-B	Original	$825	Choice Original, Heavily Cracked Reverse die. The 1852 quarter is a sleeper in the series, and the stated mintage does not reflect its true rarity. Many of these were melted following the Coinage Act of 1853, which lowered the silver content of the quarter. Just like the pre-1965 silver coinage of our own era, examples quickly disappeared from circulation, and many made their way to the smelters. This piece is accurately graded with no issues. Silver toned with a bit of crust in the protected areas, attesting to the originality of the coin, and well-struck with mostly complete star centers. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 holder, hand selected from the Orchard Collection's Dansco album, and freshly graded.
	1852	VF30	PCGS 34381559	Briggs 1-A	Original	New Price $735	New May 25! Proof Repunched Date Obverse, Original Gun Metal Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Top 25 Varieties, Lenny Rizzo Collection. The 1852 Seated quarter is a scarce coin in any grade. This date is more available in high grades such as AU and Mint State, and less available in circulated condition. This is probably due to the issue having little time to circulate prior to the weight change of 1853. The 1852 date also features a rare and interesting die variety, the 1852/52 repunched date listed by Briggs as 1-A and also included in the Top 25 Varieties set by Greg Johnson. 1852/852 examples are rare with obvious repunching on the 852 digits. The date position is also unique so that attribution is straightforward even for lower graded coins. This obverse was also used to strike two known proofs. The offered example is well preserved with original gun metal gray patina. Strike is typical for the date with some stars lacking connected centrils. Repunching below the flag of the 5 digit and below the upper loop of the 2 digit is easily seen with 10x loupe. Blemishes are limited to a single well toned over line on Liberty's left facing breast to right top shield point. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder and ready to be included in a Top 25 Varieties set on the GFRC Open Set Registry.
	1852-O	VF25	PCGS 16026337	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$2100	New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. Attractive 1852-O quarters, even with a low mintage to begin with, are surprisingly tough. Even at the VF25 level, CAC has graded only eight pieces finer than the present example, six of which remain in the VF band. This circulated cameo example features even, deep gray fields, while the silver central figures reveal pleasing contrast. The strike is typical, as production standards at the New Orleans Mint simply were not at the same level as their counterpart in Philadelphia. Virtually no one plucked these coins from circulation at the time of issue, except for silver speculators taking advantage of the weight reduction mandated in 1853. Survival was thus a matter of chance, and the survival of pleasing examples such as this even more unlikely. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	1852-O	VG10	PCGS 32200047	Briggs 1-A	Original	$625	Reflective Gold Toned Surfaces, Challenging New Orleans Date, Obverse Marks, Mountain View Collection. 1852 New Orleans examples are nearly always seen with weak obverse strikes and problematic surfaces. The small mintage of 96,000 entered circulation or was melted for being the heavier silver weight prior to silver weight reduction in 1853. Briggs indicates this is a scarce date in all grades and R4 at the VG/F grade level. This example offers golden gray surfaces and has some obverse lines at the Liberty cap and surrounding stars 9 through 11. Fairly graded and housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. A rare date Liberty Seated quarter from the Mountain View Collection that needs to find a new home.
	1853 Arrows & Rays	EF45	PCGS 31342039		Choice	New Price $345	New May 25! Arrows & Rays Type, Choice Gray-Gold, Lenny Rizzo Collection. A golden skin blankets the obverse of this CAC-approved piece, while reverse silver shades are highlighted by occasional crust. The more lightly toned areas reveal remaining luster, and the overall effect is pleasing. Although the mintage for this year is generous, PQ examples such as this are elusive, and the single-year design will attract attention from type collectors. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder (2014-2015).
	1853 No Arrows	AU53	PCGS 38260441		Choice	$5650	No Arrows, Rare Grade Level, Crusty Aquamarine-Rose Patina, Choice Original Surfaces, Important Opportunity. Crusty original is the operative word for this scarce No Arrows offering. Dark intermixed aquamarine-rose patina covers fields and device protected areas on the obverse. Reverse toning is a base light gray with peripheral olive-gold. Strike is complete and especially hammered on the reverse. The 1853 No Arrows date was a short lived issue as the Philadelphia mint transitioned quickly to the Arrows and Rays design, early in 1853, to denote a lower silver weight planchet. Mintage is reported at 44,200 and I suspect that many were caught up with silver arbitrage along with quarters and halves dated 1851 and 1852. Suvivors are few with PCGS population in all EF and AU grades totaling only twenty-four pieces. Some examples were saved by East Coast collectors resulting in another twenty mint state pieces in the PCGS report. Freshly graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1853 Arrows & Rays	AU50	raw		Choice	$275	Choice Original, Light Gray Patina, Textured Luster, Accurately Graded, Perfect Type Coin. A wonderfully original 1853 Arrows & Rays type coin with semi transparent gray-gold patina. This piece offers a complete strike with connected star centrils, full hair curls and deeply impressed eagle feathers and claws. Under bright light, this piece shifts to a uniform light gold coloring. A quality offering for a Dansco or Whitman album type set.
	1853 Arrows & Rays	EF45	PCGS 30637953		Choice	$230	Arrows & Rays Type, Choice Light Gray, Complete Strike, Southern Texas Collection. The Southern Texas Collection is back with a choice 1853 A&R duplicate that warrants immediate attention. This example presents light gray toned surfaces along with residual steely luster. Bright light viewing exposes peripheral orange-gold. Strike is complete. Overall, a thoroughly pleasing offering for type set or more extended date and mintmark set. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder.
	1853 Arrows & Rays	EF40	PCGS 33004066		Original	$185	Arrows & Rays Type, Untoned Surfaces, Residual Luster, Southern Texas Collection. An 1853 Arrows & Rays type offering with untoned surfaces and residual frosty luster. I suspect that this Seated quarter was dipped prior to be holdered and is priced accordingly. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1853 Arrows & Rays	VF35	PCGS 38232878		Choice	New Price $135	Arrows & Rays Type, Natural Russet-Gray Patina, Choice Original Surfaces. A lovely 1853 Arrows and Rays quarter with natural russet-gray patina on both sides. Nothing but honest wear and choice surfaces. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder and fairly priced.
	1853 No Arrows	F12	PCGS 30192452		Original	$2150	No Arrows, Original, Mt. View Liberty Seated Quarter Collection. The 1853 No Arrows date is well recognized as one of the Liberty Seated quarter series rarities. Mintage is report at 44,200 with two delivers of about equal amounts in February 9 and 17, 1853. As the value of silver bullion content exceeded face value, many were immediately exported and melted producing a rare collectible for present day numismatists. PCGS population reports indicate single digit population in most grades with limited auction appearances. As a result of the Mt. View Collection arriving to the market, GFRC now has a substantial hoard of 153 No Arrows quarters that is contrary to their rarity. This Fine 12 example has a base gray toning layer that is overlaid with mottled aquamarine-olive shades on both sides. Surfaces quality is consistent with the assigned grade and essentially unabraided. Strike is typical for the date and residual device details are quite adequate for a mid circulated grade date and mintmark set. From the Mt. View Collection and worthy of special consideration. Accurately graded and housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder with edge view insert.
	1853 Arrows & Rays	VG10	raw		Original	$125	Rotated Reverse Right, Thick Crusty Gray Patina, Arrows & Rays Type. A perfectly original 1853 A&R Seated quarter that is covers with a thick crusty gray skin. Notable is the rotated reverse. Surfaces are unabraded regardless of lengthy time in circulation. There is one rim bump on the reverse at 1:00.
	1853 No Arrows	VG10	PCGS 82207205	Briggs 1-A	Original	$2000	No Arrows, Rare Date, Low Survival Rate, Original Medium Gray Surfaces, Woodbridge Collection. The 1853 No Arrows date was a short lived issue as the Philadelphia mint transitioned quickly to the Arrows and Rays design, early in 1853, to denote a lower silver weight planchet. Mintage is reported at 44,200 and I suspect that many were caught up with silver arbitrage along with quarters and halves dated 1851 and 1852. The Woodbridge Collection is back with a solidly original VG10 graded duplicate. Fields are toned a medium gray with lighter colored devices. Five full letters of LIBERTY are present. A rare issue with GFRC handling only six certified survivors in all grade levels since starting business in early 2014. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1853/4 Arrows & Rays	MS63	PCGS 50074623	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$3450	1853/4 Popular Overdate, Late Die State, Golden Frosty Luster, Active Cartwheels, Completely Struck, Choice Original Surfaces, Sunset Point Collection. A popular 1853/4 overdate specimen in the Liberty Seated quarter series. Obverse die is found in a late die state with the remnants of the last three digits and arrow visual under the final date punch. The under type can be found inside the upper loop of the 8, along the outside stand of the 5, and within the upper loop of the 3 digit. In addition, the right arrow shaft on the obverse has also been repunched. At the Mint State grade level, this die variety is rare with PCGS population report indicating six graded MS63 and another six finer. This choice original example offers frosty golden luster and active cartwheels. Surfaces are minimally marked for the grade. Strike is complete on both sides with no points of weakness for this picky cataloguer. Fairly graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1853-O Arrows & Rays	EF45	NGC 1746824011	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$725	Choice Original, Gun Metal Gray-Blue Patina, Bold Obverse Strike, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. No rays through center of mintmark variety. A lovely 1853 New Orleans surviving example with bold obverse strike and perfectly original surfaces. A choice original quality rating has been applied due to the superior bright light performance that is stunning. The darker olive gray patina is quite transparent and simply melts to expose sky blue fields and golden stars when viewed under a light source. The color transition is much more apparent on the obverse while the reverse shifts to combination blues and rose hues. There are some minor blemishes in the right obverse field but the bright light performance far outweighs those marks. Housed in old NGC holder with standard white ring insert and smaller reverse hologram . A choice original duplicate from the Sunset Point Collection that deserves special consideration.
	1853-O Arrows & Rays	VF30	raw	Briggs 2-C	Original	$225	Natural Brownish-Gray, Original Surfaces, Some Obverse Chatter, Southern Texas Collection. An original 1853-O Seated quarter offering from the Southern Texas Collection that would be ideal for a mid-circulated grade Dansco or Whitman bookshelf collection. Surfaces are strictly original with brownish-gray patina. The obverse has a bit of field chatter while reverse is unabraded. The Briggs 2-C attribution has been assigned but I'm no certain on the obverse attribution accuracy. Briggs leaves a lot to be desired for the 1853-O date.
	1854 With Arrows	MS64	NGC 1704861002		Choice	$2150	Gorgeous Eye Appeal, Near Gem Original Surfaces, Stunning Reflective Cartwheels, Rose-Gold Mirrors, Completely Struck, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. A special note to the GFRC community is in order concerning a certain gorgeous 1854 Arrows quarter from the Sunset Point Collection. JUST BUY IT NOW is the recommendation for either a mint state type set or a Liberty Seated date set. I'm thoroughly enjoying mirrored fields and resulting reflective cartwheels during description writing. Vertical die polish lines, on the obverse, are evident with 10x loupe. Both sides are covered with a transparent rose-gold skin that adds to the viewing delight. The reverse toning is more intense than the obverse. Strike is completely executed with high relief devices and motifs. Accurately graded and housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the
	1854 With Arrows	EF45	PCGS 29408408		Original	New Price $185	New May 25! With Arrows Type, Original Gray, Lenny Rizzo Collection. The 1854 With Arrows quarter is always popular as a two-year type coin, and, even though a more common issue, quarters collectors building date and mintmark sets still require an example of each emission. Russet tones peak from the protected areas of this piece, more so on the reverse, surrounding silver and grey fields. Strike is typical with a few stars not completely detailed. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2014-2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	1854-O With Arrows	MS62	NGC 1774406002	Briggs 1-D	Original	$1950	Near Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! Another high-grade branch Mint piece from the Sunset Point collection. The 1854-O Seated quarter is somewhat available in unc but remains more elusive than its Philadelphia counterpart. This example is mostly brilliant with a light cover of chestnut toning over the figure of Liberty. A few hairlines in the left obverse field limit the technical grade, but there are no other marks of note. The strike is complete with detailed star centers. Briggs 1-D, identified by the die scratch in the reverse dentil above M. This issue is rich with varieties, and new discoveries likely await. Why not get started with this piece? Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert.
	1854-O	AU58	NGC 1749017014		Choice	HOLD $675	New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. Moderately mirrored surfaces host the lightly toned fields of this popular date Seated quarter. Soft tan shades pair with occasional crust in the recessed areas, particularly within the obverse and reverse shields. This piece is well-struck with only a few soft stars and decent detail in the eagle feathers. With a high mintage, there are no doubt several unlisted varieties for this date, and with detailed study new discoveries are likely possible. Perhaps this piece might represent the beginning of such a reference set. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert.
	1854-O With Arrows	VF30	raw	Briggs 3-B	Original	$450	Crumbled Die Obverse, Original Medium Gray Toning, Very Scarce Top 25 Seated Quarter Variety, Cleveland Collection . Price Reduction - January 20 2020. The Crumbled Die obverse is many time more elusive that its Huge O counterpart but priced at a lower level. This example is one of the few encountered since operating GFRC. Die erosion around the date digits is severe with a broken right arrow typical of a very late die state. Surfaces are covered with gun metal gray patina and two blemishes to note for 100% disclosure. There is one chatter mark in the left obverse field by star 3 and some impact on the lower left facing forearm along with an ancient rim bruise by star 6. A raw specimen that is fairly graded at the VF30 level. An important Top 25 Seated Quarter variety duplicate from the Cleveland Collection. Considering the asking price, there is much rarity value here as this die variety becomes more well known and popular.
	1855 With Arrows	AU58	PCGS 84680897		Original	$395	Price Reduction October 12, 2019 - Perfect With Arrows Design Type, Near Choice Original, Creamy Frosty Luster, Natural Silver-Gold Patina, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Twins Lakes Collection. Some collectors may not know that 1855 Philadelphia strikes are the better "With Arrows" date for Liberty Seated dimes, quarters and halves. Mintages dropped off after the first two years of providing lower silver weight coinage. Natural silver gray patina and frosty luster are the highlights of this 1855 Philadelphia struck example. Luster has a creamy texture under a light source. Ebony toning flakes are seen mostly on the obverse. Strike is typical with nearly all stars have connected centrils. Accurately graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Another quality offering from the Twin Lakes Collection.
	1855-O With Arrows	VF20	PCGS 29673395		Choice	$925	Rare Date, Choice Original, Crusty Gun Metal Gray Patina, Typical Strike for Issue, Accurately Graded . Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder along with CAC approval. Full description after the FUN show.
	1855-O	VF Details	5073307006		Cleaned	HOLD $275	New June 28! Ex. Jules Reiver, Cleaned, NCS Holder. The 1855-O is an underrated date in the Seated quarter series, tougher than its mintage might indicate. Briggs 1-A, with the mintmark placed slightly closer to the feather than the stem. Weakly struck as usual for the issue with flat stars and eagle feathers blending together. This piece has obviously been dipped, but remains a decently-detailed example of a tough issue. Housed in a Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS) holder. Ex. Jules Reiver (Heritage 1/2006, lot 28988, realized $276).
	1855-O	EF40	PCGS 29400204		Original	$1750	Challenging New Orleans Issue, Original Gray, Well Struck, Accurately Graded, Saw Mill Run Collection. The 1855-O date is infrequently encountered in the marketplace due to a mintage of 176,000 and low survival rate. The 1855-O survival rate is similar to that of the 1849-O in circulated grades but priced at a fraction of the cost. PCGS population report shows only twelve combined in both EF grades. This EF40 graded survivor is fully struck for the date. All stars have connected centrils and Liberty's lower leg is fully rounded. Unfortunately, the head details are weak and so consistent with near every example seen. Reverse strike is bold with deeply impressed claws and arrow feathers.
