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.

A sharply struck example in later die state with full bisecting reverse die crack and obverse die crack from Stars 1 and 2 down through left rock and into rim by 1 digit. Rims are particular sharp. Surfaces are covered with uniform ebony patina especially on the obverse and across most of the reverse. The lighter reverse region by UNITED on the image is not as pronounced on the actual coin. As for blemishes, the only issue to note is that the sharp rims attracted a few tiny marks. Fresh from old collection and off the market for years. Not a strictly original example but market acceptable and priced accordingly.

The mintage for the 1840 With Drapery date is a reasonable 188,127 but, as in the case for Liberty Seated dimes, availablility is much lower than the mintage would suggest. 1840 Drapery quarters are challenging to locate and especially in higher grade.

	1843	VF35	raw	Briggs 1-A	Original	$145	Original, Thick Gray Patina, Scarce. Locating 1843 quarters with thick original gray patina will be much more challenging than expected. Mintage is only 645,000 and well below its New Orleans counterpart at nearly 1,000,000 struck.

	1846	VF30	PCGS 81757168		Original	$165	Crusty Original Gray, Accurate Grading, Low Population. The low populations of Liberty Seated quarters never ceases to amaze me when writing descriptions. If Seated quarters were collected at the same interest level as Seated dimes and halves, prices would immediate jump up in a significant way. Case in point is this strictly original 1846 example graded PCGS VF30. PCGS population report indicates only 22 in all VF grades and only 26 in EF40 and EF45 grades. Consider this with respect to a mintage of 510,000. This example is so crusty original with thick gray patina. Strike is uniform and the PCGS grading is accurate.

Gun metal gray patina covers the surfaces along with ebony verdigris that surrounds portions of the stars and date punch along reverse lower reverse legend. Obverse strike is sharp while the reverse exhibits weakness at the eagle's leg and arrow feathers. There are no blemishes whatsoever to discuss. A wholesome early date example with just light wear that will please the selective collector. A quality duplicate from the Sunset Point Collection of Liberty Seated quarters.

From a wear perspective, I believe this piece is all of EF40 but the reverse strike has some weakness on traditional wear points; the lower right wing, left leg and arrow feathers. When examing the the eagles claws, I see limited wear and EF grade features. Toning is an even gray with intermixed rose. Under bright light, the surfaces turn an attractive light gun metal blue. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder and ready for a new home in a circulated date/mintmark set. The light reverse area between 11:00 and 12:00 on image is PCGS holder lighting reflections and not on the coin.
	1849	F15	raw	Briggs 1-A	Original	$115	Compass Point Reverse. This date is difficult to locate in lower circulated grades with a mintage of only 340,000.

	1855-S	EF45	NGC 3583700010	Briggs 1-A	Original	$1400	Rare Reverse A Crumbled Die State, First Seated Quarter Production at San Francisco Mint, Original Gun Metal Gray, Accurately Graded. An amazing crumbled reverse die example of the Briggs 1-A die pairing. Noted Seated half dollar specialist, Greg Johnson, discusses the progressive reverse die disintegration of 1855-5 Reverse A in a E-Gobrecht Article dating back to December 2010 (http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/Quarter_QOM/1855s_lds_rev.htm). In that article, Greg presents an image of an 1855-S reverse that shows "the crumbling or “disintegration” of the die around the eagle and “STATES OF AMERICA” and states that, "After looking for these coins for more than 4 years I think, with enough patience, it is possible for the interested collector to put together a die progression of this reverse die if one is not too picky about the condition and grade of the coins. Such a progression would begin with early die states that show no abnormal wear or deterioration and proceed through intermediate die states that show the beginning of the deterioration around the eagle and legend, concluding with very late die states in which there appears to be nearly as much metal in the “halo” around the eagle as there is making up the eagle itself. The 1855-s Liberty Seated quarter date is historically important due to being the first quarter struck at the San Francisco mint and probably the first silver coinage to be struck there. Reverse A is probably the first reverse die to be used until fully disintegrated. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. An important acquisition for the Liberty Seated quarter die variety specialist.
