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.

	1839 No Drapery	AU53	PCGS 83677523	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$1300	Choice Original, Crusty Brown-Gray Patina, Completely Struck , Accurately Graded, CAC Approved. 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.
	1839 No Drapery	AU50	raw	Briggs 1-A	Market Acceptable	$525	Cracked Reverse, Fully Struck, Uniform Gray Patina, Open Claws.. 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.
	1839 No Drapery	VG10	PCGS 32624839		Original	$80	New September 30! Original, Mt. View Liberty Seated Quarter Collection. First Right of Refusal Event - Sunday September 30 9:00 PM ET - Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.
	1840 With Drapery	EF40	PCGS 81743767	Briggs 1-A	Original	$395	New September 15! Underrated Date, Original Light Gray Patina, Residual Steely Luster, Accurately Graded. 1840 brought a design hub transitional year for smaller Liberty Seated coinage denominations up through the quarters. 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 very challenging to locate and especially in higher grade. 1840 Drapery Philadelphia strikes are even more difficult than the New Orleans counterpart at a much lower mintage of 43,000. Why there are so few surviving examples is a mystery to me. This new offering has classic gun metal gray fields and residual steely luster under the patina. Steely and lightly mirrored fields on 1840 Drapery quarters are the appropriate surface condition. GFRC photography will enhance green coloring on certain silver coins. The green shades on the reverse are natual toning and much lighter in color when viewing in hand or under a bright light. Strike is well executed on the obverse but weak on the right facing wing and lower left eagle leg. Accurately graded and housed in new 2015 style PCGS holder and fairly priced for the rarity. Yet another quality coin from a recent West Coast collection purchase.

A choice late die state example with bold obverse die clashing. Reverse eagle wings are boldly transferred to the obverse die. Die erosion is severe with all traces of rim denticles effaced. Surfaces are toned a light gray with some golden hues at immediate rims. There are no blemishes to discuss. I see this No Drapery quarter heading into a die variety set collection rather than being used in a type set. The late die state characteristics would be fascinating to those who appreciate. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval. Another fine numismatic property from the White Pine Collection.
	1840-O With Drapery	VF20	PCGS 26340728	Briggs 1-B	Choice	$295	New September 14! With Drapery, Better Date, Choice Original, Thick Crusty Gray Patina, Typical Strike, Blemish Free Surfaces, Accurately Graded. With Drapery obverse die hub with a tiny mintage of 43,000. This date is so underated, especially choice, based on the number of survivors within the TPG population reports. Total number certified by PCGS in all VF grades is 36 with CAC approval in VF being 11 for PCGS and NGC holder pieces. From the CAC population report, it is easily seen that choice survivors are clustered in the VF and AU grades with only one mint state example approved. This GFRC offering is perfectly original with choice surfaces. A thick crusty gray patina covers both sides.

Frankly I was expecting a VF35/EF40 grade from PCGS due to the strict originality coupled with steely fields and luster.

Early New Orleans small denomination coinage saw extensive circulation in the deep south as U.S. efforts where underway to eliminate Spanish coinage.

	1843 Shattered Reverse	EF45	PCGS 80491019	Briggs 1-A	Original	$495	Scarce Completely Shattered Reverse, White Pine Collection. Described by Briggs and listed as a shattered reverse die variety with this terminal die state specimen being only the second example handled at GFRC. During final die state, three prominent die cracks connect at the upper left shield edge and move towards the rims in a piece shaped manner.

Liberty's gown and shield exhibit substantial die rust with similiar appearance on the reverse eagle feathers. Strike is typical with partial head details and all stars lacking centrils. The GFRC images accurately capture in hand appearance but not the glowing golden rose fields seen under a light source. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. An important numismatic property from the Saw Mill Run Collection that deserves special attention by astute Liberty Seated quarter collectors. One will be hard pressed to locate a nicer circulated example.

	1850-O	VG08	raw	Briggs 1-B	Original	$140	Crusty Original, Gun Metal Gray/Blue, Honest Wear. Crusty original patina covers this piece with contrasting darker fields and lighter devices. In hand, the toning is more of an even gray but under bright light blue hues are obvious to the eye. There is just honest wear with no blemishes to note. My images are a tad too dark and the white haze on and above Liberty left shoulder is haze on the PCGS holder. Housed in 2015 PCGS holder with thicker edges.
	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.

Mintage of only 88,000 strikes with low survival rate. A difficult New Orleans date that is know for less than stellar strikes. The challenge with collecting circulated Liberty Seated quarters is locating choice examples especially when the denomination saw heavy circulation in the deep South. Ths specimen has to be one of the finest available at the VG grade level. Surfaces are perfectly original with just honest wear and a thick layer of gray/rose patina. There are no blemishes whatsoever. Grading is accurate with strong five and half letters in LIBERTY showing along with bold rims on both obverse and reverse. Housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder.

	1852	MS63	NGC 698531017	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$1750	Choice Original, Cold Quarters Collection. The 1852 Seated quarter date remains an enigma for me. This date is scarcer in circulated grades rather than mint state and is infrquently seen given its mintage of 177,060. This date appear to have been caught up with the silver bullion arbitrage situation that occurred during 1851 through early 1853 timeframe until silver weight was lowered. A small supply of mint tate examples managed to survive, mostly in the MS63 and MS64 grades. This offered example is probably one of those. Overall strike is well executed with just a stars 6 and 7 lacking connected centrils. Surfaces are frosty and covered with a light pewter-silver patina along with some faint gold. Blemish wise, the obverse has a few micro lines in the upper left obverse field and to a lessor extant, in the lower left and right fields. The reverse is better preserved with no blemishes. In hand eye appeal is pleasing. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. An important numismatic offering from the Cold Quarters Collection. As a reference, GFRC sold a PCGS AU58 example for $1700 during April 2017.

	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.

An exceptional 1853 Arrows & Rays quarter for your consideration. Surfaces are naturally preserved and perfectly original.

Similar high relief devices are seen on the obverse and add to the overall eye appeal. Viewing this 1853 quarter under bright light is quite pleasing. The obverse shifts to aquamarine center surrounded by golden brown toning at the stars and into the rims. Dies are clashed. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval.

	1853 No Arrows	VF35	PCGS 84741484		Choice	$4650	No Arrows, So Rare Choice, Uniform Light Gray Patina, Blemish Free Surfaces, Osprey 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. Suvivors are few with PCGS population in grades Good 4 through AU58 totaling only sixty pieces. That is 0.13% of the mintage. Some examples were saved by East Coast collectors resulting in another twenty mint state pieces in the PCGS report. One of the issues with this date is finding choice examples. Due to such a low survival rate, the chance for choice examples is impacted. Checking CAC population report indicates only nine circulated examples with CAC approval from both PCGS and NGC. This example is the only VF35 with two at EF40 and one at AU55. The AU55 specimen is locked up with a GFRC customer therefore if seeking a CAC approved 1853 No Arrows quarter, your options are limited. Having said all this, let's look at the offered example. Surfaces are toned a light gray with faint golden hues under a light source. The original strike was well executed as all stars have connected centrils and the eagle's claws are fully defined. A 10x loupe inspection revealed no blemishes worth noting. This is a no question rare date along with additional condition rarity that belongs in one of the better advanced collections being built. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval. Another fine numismatic offering from the Osprey Collection.

During early 1853, only 44,200 pieces where struck on the heavier planchet and without arrows and reverse rays. Today, handling any example of the No Arrows design for the date is an important event. GFRC is pleased to offer this lovely VF20 example from the White Pine Collection for consideration. This offering is accurately graded with blemish free surfaces.

	1853-O Arrows & Rays	VG10	raw	Top 25: #13 Briggs 3-E	Cleaned	$115	Filled Mintmark Reverse, Cleaned Obverse. A late die state example with maximum amount of mintmark deterioration. The obverse has been cleaned while the reverse retains its natural dark gray toning in the areas surrounding legend and denomination.

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.

First year of design and denomination issue, during the California gold rush, with mintage of 396,000. Survival rate is low due to heavy circulation in commerce and for jewelry making. Survivors are either damaged or not original coins as most were mishandled among the mining communities. Prioblem free examples in any grades are a prize for current day collectors. This new offering is a duplicate from the Sunset Point Collection. This survivor is strictly original with residual frosty luster under the natural gray-gold patina. Mint frosty surrounds most stars and many letters in the reverse legend. Reverse die is cracked consistent with the Briggs 1-A attribution. Grading is conservative as I would be full EF45 based on wear and remaining luster. I suspect that net grading is a play due to a mark on Liberty's mouth. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. An important surviving 1855-S Seated quarter for the advanced collector of Liberty Seated quarters.
