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.

A lovely crusty original 1856 New Orleans strike with light gray patina on the obverse and thicker coverage on the reverse.

	1856-S	AU50	PCGS 13030628	Briggs 3-D	Original	$3500	Condition Rarity, Satiny Luster, Faint Gold Coloring, Hammered Strike, Net Graded, Sunset Point Collection. The 1856 San Francisco Seated quarter date is semi-scarce in low, circulated grades, but quickly accelerates into a condition-rarity at the AU grade level. Mint State examples are extremely scarce therefore date and mintmark set collection must search for the best AU specimens possible. Contained with the Sunset Point Collection is a high grade AU example with hammered strike. Satiny cartwheel luster and deeply struck devices interact well for considerable eye appeal. Please remember that I am describing an 1856-S quarter.... This piece has been net graded by PCGS as so rare at the grade level. Surfaces are AU55 based on limited wear. The obverse contains field hairlines that resulted for an old wipe. Only three are graded AU50 at PCGS. Fairly graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert.
	1856-S	VF30	raw		Original	$850	Original Charcoal Gray Surfaces, Better Date, Blemish Free. The arrival of any 1856 San Francisco struck quarter to the GFRC office is an important occasion given the low survival rate for this second year issue. This example grades a full VF30 with nearly complete strike and uniform wear. Surfaces are covered with charcoal gray patina that also includes some thin ebony verdigris that is more predominate on the reverse. To my knowledge, this rare date has not been submitted for grading and does deserve an attempt given what I currently see in PCGS holders. Please give this piece some consideration as fairly priced in current raw state.
	1856-S Large S/Small S	VF30	PCGS 25601634	Briggs 4-E	Original	$2950	Large S/Small S, Top 25 Varieties, Condition Census, Original Light Gray, Accurately Graded. A special opportunity to acquire one of the condition census 1856 Large S/Small S examples. Seated quarter collectors are invited to visit the Top 25 Gobrecht Journal Issue #119 article by Greg Johnson that is posted on the GFRC homepage along with CoinFacts auction records concerning this key date 1856-S/s offering. Most examples are known in AG through F grades per the Greg Johnson Top 25 Seated quarter varieties population survey conducted during 2011. A CoinFacts review indicates only two examples graded better than VF30 by PCGS; EF40 and EF45. The offered example is the CoinFacts plate coin. This piece has original gray surfaces with no blemishes whatsoever. Strike is typical for the 1856-S date. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. An important opportunity to acquire a Top 25 Varieties key date at a reasonable price. The Small S below the Large S is bold and well defined for the variety.
	1856-S Large S/Small S	VF25	PCGS 83619771	Briggs 4-E	Original	$2750	Rare Large S/s Die Pairing, Original Gray-Rose Patina, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Top 25 Varieties Set Candidate. Larry Briggs labels the 1856 Large S over Small S variety as die pair 4-E and estimates that 10-15% of the 286,000 mintage could be this die pairing. Overall, the 1856 San Francisco date becomes quite scarce in VF, then rare in EF and extremely rare in choice AU. This Large S over Small S example offers natural gray patina with intermixed rose. The coloring is accurately captured by GFRC photography. Surfaces are essentially blemish free except for a few micro ticks on the obverse that are of no consequence and require careful 10x loupe inspection to see. This variety is one of the "keys" within the Top 25 Varieties set as defined by Greg Johnson and now available in the GFRC Open Set Registry. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. The PCGS label reads, "Large/Small S FS-501 (FS-005)". An important offering that is fairly priced.
	1856-S	VF20	PCGS 83652160		Original	$685	New May 14! Rare San Francisco Date, Gray Patina, Near Choice Original Surfaces, Accurately Graded. Second year issue at the San Francisco mint with low mintage of 286,000. Most were placed in circulation as the Western region required small denomination coinage for local commerce. As a result, survival rates are low and most are found with preservation issues. CAC has approved only nineteen examples in all PCGS and NGC grades. This new GFRC offering exhibits near choice original surfaces that are covered with gray patina. Under a light source, the toning exposes some embedded olive shades. A well struck example with strong device details remaining, especially on the reverse. Scanning with a 10x loupe, the originality is validated by residual verdigris surrounding the date, reverse denomination, and legend. Two ancient micro lines are seen on Liberty's upper body and are of no consequence. Housed in new PCGS Gen 6.0 holder and ready for a new home in an advanced Seated quarter collection.
	1857 Smoking Liberty	EF45	PCGS 27434721		Choice	$450	New April 4! Smoking Liberty Variety, Substantial Eye Appeal, Aquamarine-Blue and Rose Toning, Choice Original, Accurately Graded, Cleveland Collection. An eye appealing example of the popular Smoking Liberty die variety that is also entry #19 in the Top 25 Varieties set as defined by Greg Johnson. Fields present bright reflective luster that highlights the pretty aquamarine-blue and rose bullseye toning. Accurately graded and well struck. This is an early die state example that provides a details view into the "smoking liberty" die gouge. The gouge extends through the L in LIBERY and into the horizontal shield lines. Blemishes are limited to a few ancient micro hits or lines in the obverse fields of no consequence. Fairly graded and housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 holder. A quality Top 25 duplicate offering from the Cleveland Collection that warrants serious consideration.
	1857-O	MS61	NGC 370994003	Briggs 1-A	Original	$1650	Original, Sunset Point Collection. The Seated quarter series is full of challenging dates, some more recognized than others. The 1857-O may not come quickly to mind, but consider that NGC has certified only 17 pieces at the uncirculated level. Imagine how a Morgan dollar with a similar grading profile would be priced! This example, however, can be had at a much more reasonable level. Untoned and well-struck, with a few of the left stars weak, while the reverse detail is sharp. Briggs 1-A with a high, even date, and reverse die rust over E in STATES.

	1858	MS64	NGC 629270017		Choice	$1200	New March 25! Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! This lovely CAC-approved quarter is a worthy representative of the No Motto type, with antique silver coloring and occassional dirt attesting to the originality. Well-struck with a couple flat stars to the right and some weakness around the arrow fletching. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert dating to the late 1990s. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters from the Sunset Point Collection.
	1858-O	AU50	NGC 2019611024	Briggs 2-B	Original	$475	New March 25! Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! Briggs 2-B, with a typical strike for that variety - obverse stars are incomplete and there is some reverse weakness under the shield. An obverse horizontal line extends from star 12, but there are no other marks inconsistent with the grade. Silver toned with a bit of "dirt" in protected areas, particuarly the obverse and reverse shields. From the Sunset Point collection of Seated quarters and housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert.
	1858-O	VF25	PCGS 27869106		Choice	$165	Choice Original, Lightly Mottled Brown/Gray Patina, Accurately Graded. A better date with mintage of only 520,000 pieces and few examples in population reports for mid circulated grades. Surfaces are strictly original and covered with gun metal gray and blue patina. Accurately graded with no blemishes or distractions. The obverse toning is a bit mottled on Liberty but there is also some haze on the PCGS holder that impacts the image. Housed in 2013 PCGS holder.
	1858-S	G06	PCGS 12403824		Choice	$420	Better San Francisco Date, Choice Original, Full Rims, Natural Gray Patina, Honest Wear, Accurately Graded, Mt. View Liberty Seated Quarter Collection. A meager mintage of 121,000 pieces with only three (3) examples certified by PCGS at G6 level. The offered example exhibits just honest wear and full solid rims. Surfaces are blemish free and toned an even medium gray. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. CAC approval is warranted due to strict originality and fair grading. Making a return GFRC appearance after being purchased by the consignor during May 2016. From the Mt. View Collection and should garner attention for a quality low to mid circulated grade date and mintmark set.
	1858-S	AU53	NGC 3315004014	Briggs 1-B	Original	$4950	Near Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. An important condition rarity, the 1858-S saw a production of 121,000 coins, but the West Coast economy was starving for small change at the time, and the entire production entered circulation at the time they were issued. This AU specimen will be hard to improve. Both sides are deeply toned gray-brown with hints of charcoal, showing microscopic surface roughness. The combined NGC and PCGS population is three, Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1858-S	EF40	PCGS 18543863		Choice	$3450	Scarce Date/Grade, Choice Original, Uniform Aquamarine/Gray Patina, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded. Ex. Outback and Saw Mill Run Collections. Ok, where do I start with the description for this lovely 1858 San Francisco quarter? One immediately noted the choice surfaces and the attractive gun metal gray patina that includes gold and aquamarine when placed under a light source. This rare date quarter is perfectly original and belongs in an advanced collection. Strike is typical with weakness on Liberty's head and gown line, otherwise the reverse strike is well executed with nearly all arrow feather defined. This piece is essentially blemish free with only a tiny line in the field at the right wing. The 1858-S date is an extreme rarity in mint state as few are known. Population in EF40 and EF45 are in the low teens but I suspect that many are marginal pieces and not fully choice and original as this example. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. Previous from the Outback and Saw Mill Run Collections.
	1858-S	EF40	PCGS 08838484		Original	$3150	New April 30! Original, Springfield Collection. The year 1858 begins a four-year stretch within the Seated quarter series where San Francisco coins at the EF level and above are especially elusive. This condition rarity was only recognized within the last 20 years or so, as grading population data became more well known. This PCGS EF example is lightly toned and brilliant, with hints of light olive in the protected areas, visible among the obverse stars and throughout the reverse legend. The strike is complete with distinct star centers. Briggs 2-B with an even date and mintmark right of center. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder, and from the Bruce Burnham collection sold by David Lawrence in June, 2003.
	1858-S	F12	raw		Market Acceptable	New Price $385	Better Date, Even Medium Gray Toning, Tiny Rim Filing, West Texas Collection. A key date in the Liberty Seated quarter series with mintage of 121,000. This is yet another issue with low survival rates and choice specimens being the anomaly. Most collectors end up purchasing a market acceptable example to fill that spot in a Dansco or Whitman album. When first evaluating this example, from the West Texas Collection, an Original quality rating was assigned and priced. The surfaces are toned an even medium gray that may not be strictly original but close enough to be graded by the TPGs. During a second inspection, a small rim filing was noted at 12:00 above Liberty's head. The filing is about 5 reeds long and the location might suggest a removed jewelry loop but I'm not convinced of that. My thought is the rim was initially filed but left at that as the color is uniform with the balance of the coin. Otherwise, this offering is quite acceptable with only two tiny rim scrapes to mention on the reverse. A decent offering of this difficult and expensive date. I've seen much worst in TPG holders.
	1858-S	AG3	PCGS 29677888		Original	$295	Original Crusty Gray, Honest Wear, Mountain View Collection. Lots of honest wear but covered nice original crusty gray patina. Even with the substantial wear, this piece has survived with no blemishes. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder.
	1859	MS63	ANACS OWH 3016965	I/II	Choice	$1350	New March 25! Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! Violet, champagne, and cobalt blue blanket both sides of this pleasingly toned Seated quarter. Type I obverse with straight fingers at the pole, type II reverse with claws more relaxed than on the earlier hub. Along with the introduction of new hubs in this year, the date punches are smaller, leaving more space in the exergue. Complete strike with just a touch of weakness in the right stars. From the Sunset Point collection and housed in an ANACS old white holder.
	1859-S	EF40	NGC 1725687009	Briggs 1-A	Original	$4500	New March 25! Hall of Fame Collection, Condition Scarcity, Evenly Toned.. Description added! Briggs 1-A, the only known dies, type I/I. This coin is an "old friend" from the Jim Gray 2004 sale, where this cataloguer evaluated the coin as nice for the grade. At the time the coin sold at a healthy premium to the published guide prices. Jim Gray went on to become an LSCC Hall of Famer, and today the Jim Gray auction sale catalog remains a useful reference. Gray was one of the first to recognize the condition scarcity of the San Francsico quarters from 1858-1861, and this EF 1859-S example is certainly in the mix, with only six pieces graded higher by NGC. Briggs noted no uncirculated examples in 1991, and that holds true today. The present coin is minimally abraded with with even, medium color, and just the right amount of "crust" to ensure originality. Ex: Jim Gray Collection (Bowers and Merena, 7/2004), lot 2237. Prior to that, Jim Gray noted purchasing the coin at the 1983 ANA convention. From the Sunset Point collection and housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. This piece has much to recommend - eye appeal, condition rarity, pedigree, and LSCC club history to boot.
	1859-S	EF40	PCGS 03889198		Original	$4000	New April 30! Original, Springfield Collection. This lovely, "coin gray" 1859-S quarter exhibits what Doug Winter calls "multiple levels of demand." The date is scarce, the coin is aesthetically wholesome, and the EF grade represents a condition rarity. These coins were not saved in high-grade, and today there is not a single uncirculated piece reported by either PCGS or NGC. There is also the question of availability - PCGS Coin Facts notes that a higher example is typically seen at auction only about once per year, and many of these appearances are at price points substantially higher than the present example. As can be seen, this is an infrequent opportunity to acquire a special coin. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. Previously from Superior, 1/2003, lot 585.
	1859-S	VF30	PCGS 16632119		Original	$1850	Challenging San Francisco Issue, Original Gray Patina, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Saw Mill Run Collection. 1859 San Francisco strikes are well respect by Liberty Seated quarter collectors due to no known mint state examples and just a handful at the AU grade level. Mintage is a low 80,000 pieces with all entering circulation for West Coast commerce. Surviving AU examples are an immediately five figure price tag. Availability increases at the VF and EF grade levels with pricing becoming affordable for date and mintmark set collectors. This example, from the Saw Mill Run Collection is a original specimen with pleasing surfaces. Lighter gray surfaces are uniformly toned with some darker coloring at the peripheries. Strike is typical with Liberty's head lacking full details and several stars lacking connected centrils. A careful 10x loupe inspection reveal no abrasions worthy of mention. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert.
	1860	MS62	NGC 573422007	II/I	Choice	$650	New March 25! Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! A hammered strike is the hallmark of this brilliant piece that exhibits hints of chestnut on both sides. The star centers are full, and the reverse legend is deeply impressed . Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert that dates to the late 1990s. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1860	AU50	raw		Choice	$150	Type II/I Hubs, Choice Original, Golden Obverse Luster, Accurately Graded, Ideal Type Coin. Acquired at the 2018 Central States show as part of a trade. This lovely 1860 Type II/I design hub quarter offering is strictly original with choice surfaces. Both obverse and reverse retain natural luster that is pleasing under a light source. Obverse features gray-gold patina during in hand viewing that becomes completely golden under a light source. The reverse is exceptional with gray-silver coloring and steely luster. An ideal candidate for a Dansco or Whitman book shelf type set collection as this is where the piece originated.
	1860-O	MS61	PCGS 16633583	Briggs 2-B	Choice	$1550	Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Strongly struck with bright and shining luster. Though numerous wispy abrasions and more significant marks affect the fields, this is a gorgeous O-mint coin in silver-white and peach. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. Fresh CAC approval. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1860-O	AU58	PCGS 08838486		Choice	HOLD $850	New April 29! Choice Original, Springfield Collection. This is a lustrous example with a splash of chestnut toning on both sides. The surfaces are original, without hairlines, and the only mark of note is a small reverse void underneath O of OF. This is a well-struck example with most star centers plainly seen. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. Part of the Evergreen hoard handled by Legend Numismatics in February 2002. This group consisted of hundreds of nicely toned, circulated Seated pieces, many of which exhibited remarkably original surfaces.
	1860-S	EF40	NGC 7001444001	Briggs 1-A	Original	$9000	New March 25! Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! One of the highlights of the Sunset Point collection, this conditionally rare 1860-S quarter is exceeded by only seven grading "events" at NGC, of which several likely represent resubmissions. Gray and brown tones predominate, with deeper hues in the upper obverse stars and lower portion of the reverse legend. There is some discoloration around the eagle's head. Surfaces are lightly abraded with no major distractions. Well-struck with some weakness in the stars, as Briggs notes for 1860-S quarters, which were struck from a single die pair. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert, dating to the late 1990s. This coin offers substantial foundational value - absolute rarity, conditional rarity, and NGC certification, assuring a standard of quality.
	1860-S	F12	PCGS 08743527		Original	$3000	Rare San Francisco Date, Near Choice Original Surfaces, Crusty Gray Patina, Well Preserved, Accurately Graded, New GFRC Consignor. Limited mintage of 56,000 and low survival rates combine to make the 1860-S date a condition rarity in the Liberty Seated quarter series. GFRC is pleased to offer a strictly original examples with thick crusty gray patina on both sides. Surfaces are near choice with a full choice rating being held back by a darker obverse toning area in the left field. Strike is well executed. A careful 10x loop inspection revealed no blemishes worthy of mention. Original and uncleaned examples of this date are few and far between. Now is an important to put away an attractive 1860-S survivor at a fair price. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. From a new GFRC consignor.
	1860-S	VG10	raw	Briggs 1-A	Original	$1900	Original Gray, Sunset Point Collection. The 1860 San Francisco date is scarce in all grades with a limited mintage of 56,000. Most surviving examples will be found in the Very Good through Fine grade range as is the case with this original example. Obverse rims are bold with six full letters in LIBERTY presence. The reverse rim has barely worn through under (U)NITED and the olive leaves. Surfaces are toned a medium gun metal gray with blue shades evident under a light source. This example is entirely blemish free with no marks, lines or other anomalies. I'm comfortable in indicating that TPG grading is a strong possibility given the natural coloring. An important offering from the Sunset Collection of Liberty Seated quarters and ideal for a Dansco or Whitman album set. Fairly priced!
	1861	MS63	NGC 2501074002	II/II	Choice	$725	New March 25! Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! A high-grade Seated quarter from the dawn of the Civil War, this well-detailed piece exhibits frosty, brilliant luster with light shades of blue-green on the reverse. The strike is complete with strong star centers and distinct arrow fletching. Liberty's curved fingers and the more relaxed claws identify this as a type II/II example, a well-known variety for this year. Type I and II die pairings in the Liberty Seated quarter series are not completely worked out, and new discoveries likely await the eagle-eyed collector. Housed in an old (1990s) NGC holder with standard ring insert. From the Sunset Point complete set of Liberty Seated quarters.
	1861 Contemporary Counterfeit	G06	raw	C-104	Original	$60	Contemporary Counterfeit, Copper Planchet, Hand Cut Dies, Surface Lines, Coney Collection . An 1861 contemporary counterfeit quarter with considerable wear and listed as C-104 in the LSCC reference at www.lsccweb.org. Copper planchet struck by hand cut dies.

	1861-S	VF30	PCGS 2870377	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$4450	Scarce in All Grades, Choice Original, Near Condition Census, Light Tan-Gray Patina, Uniform Strike, Accurately Graded, Watch Hill Collection. Ex. Iowa Collection. An important offering for all serious collectors of the Liberty Seated quarter series. Mintage of 96,000 and very scarce in all grade.

This example is at the upper end of the distribution with only 5 better. From the Watch Collection and previously part of the amazing Iowa Collection of strictly original and evenly matched Liberty Seated quarters.
	1861-S	AU55	PCGS 60154559	Briggs 1-A	Original	$17500	New March 25! Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! Seated quarters of certain issues, especially branch Mint pieces, simply did not surivve in high grades. Neither PCGS or NGC have cerified a Mint State 1861-S quarter, putting this piece toward the top of the condidtion census. Although PCGS has certified eight pieces at the AU58 level, it is certain this number includes multiple resubmissions from hopeful owners attempting to "score" the first uncirculated example. Briggs 1-A, with mintmark right of center and a reverse die crack left of QUAR. The strike is typical for the 1-A variety, with star centers of varying strength. The toning is pleasing, silver with underlying violet shades. Liberty has somewhat of a two-tone appearance with silver on the high points and more color in the protected areas. Stars 3-4 host a bit of crust, as does the reverse shield. The new owner of this piece will immediately be a contender for "King of the Hill," as numbers do not necessarily mean everything - at this level, only a in-person comparison with other high-grade specimens settles the argument, and, even then, disagreements may remain! From the Sunset Point collection, and housed in an old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert.
	1861-S	VF30	PCGS 81333480		Choice	$2500	Scarce in All Grades, Choice Original, Gray-Rose Patina, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded. An important offering for all serious collectors of the Liberty Seated quarter series. Mintage of 96,000 and very scarce in all grade. Typically found in G-VG and rare in VF or better. Light gray-rose patina covers both sides. Strike is uniform and nicely executed. A middle die state strike with die crack developing from (Q)UAR into the olive leaves. Reverse is entirely blemish free while obverse fields have a few scattered ancient ticks of no consequence. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.
	1862-S	MS62	PCGS OGH 9516515	Briggs 2-A	Original	$3850	Original, Sunset Point Collection. Housed in PCGS Old green holder. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1862-S	AU58	PCGS 03740727		Choice	HOLD $3450	New April 29! Choice Original, Springfield Collection. Dynamic shades of aqua, russet, and gold grace both sides of this scarce, San Francisco Seated quarter. With the exception of a few marks above the eagle's left wing, the surfaces are smooth and attractive.

In Mint State, this date is not particularly rare and only scarce. The collector's challenge is locating a near gem or full gem original specimen. This lovely PCGS MS64 graded example deserves consideration. A thick layer of copper-gold patina covers both sides and validates the strict originality. Under the toning is considerable mint frost that produces active luster under a light source. A careful 10x loupe inspection revealed no abrasions whatsoever.

Mintage for the year amounted to 93,600 pieces. When compared to 1863 mintage and pricing structure, the 1864 date presents a compelling value. The Sunset Point Collection example is brilliant white with frosty cartwheel luster. Actually, the luster is more than brilliant and closer to intense under a light source. Strike is hammered with large bold stars and deeply impressed devices. Both obverse and reverse dies are clashed. Abrasions are to a minimum and consistent with the assigned grade level. Overall, a high grade mint state example with intense luster and few marks. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s.

The 1864-S date has the smallest mintage of any Seated Liberty quarter struck at the western mint. This date is a rarity in mint state with few known therefore this AU58 graded example should garner substantial attention. The Sunset Point Collection example is strictly original with sparkling frosty luster and decent cartwheels under a light source. Surfaces are covered with a light gold skin on both sides. Strike is essentially complete with full reverse devices and only the right obverse stars exhibiting some weakness. That strike weakness is consistent with the finest known Eliasberg NGC MS68 example. The fields are remarkably free of any marks or abrasions. PCGS population is one in AU55 and two at the AU58 level as a reference. An accurately graded Liberty Seated quarter rarity that should garner substantial attention in the GFRC display cases.

	1864-S	EF40	PCGS 34174546		Original	$5250	Key Seated Quarter San Francisco Date, Original Surfaces, Light Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Saw Mill Run Collection. 1864 San Francisco strikes are recognized as one of the Liberty Seated quarter key dates. Few examples ever reach market above the VF level. PCGS has graded a total of eleven pieces in combined EF40 and EF45 grades. In AU, this date is already very rare with three pieces certified. GFRC is most excited to be offering an EF40 graded example from the Saw Mill Collection. This is an original example with classic gray patina that collectors strive to locate. Centers are toned a lighter gray with the peripheries having darker coloring. Strike is well executed for Type II/II hub design, especially within the lower reverse with full claws and arrow feathers. At first quick inspection, my thought was CAC approval since the coloring and eye appeal are consistent with approved Seated quarters at the EF40 grade level. Careful inspection with a 10x loupe revealed a darker toning streak from Liberty's left facing shoulder and across the neck. This areas has the characteristics of being in contact with a rubber band or other foreign materal that has impacted the surface. Accurately graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. One must remember that rare Liberty Seated quarter key dates are what they are.... There are so few graded that waiting for a CAC approved EF example could take a decade. This offering is so close to regular CAC approved eye appeal and warrants special attention.

Under bright light, the thick patina maintains coloring as seen in the GFRC images. Strike is complete with all star centrils connected along with well defined left leg and arrow feathers on the reverse. There are no blemishes whatsoever. This is an opportunity for advanced Seated quarter collectors as this piece is strictly original and accurately graded. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder.
	1867	PR64	PCGS 12514502		Choice	$1250	Choice Original, Sky Blue, Rose and Violet Toning, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded. A lovely Seated quarter proof with limited mintage of 625 pieces. Most surviving examples will be found at the PF62 through PF64 grades levels as PCGS population report indicates only 24 total in PR65 including those designated as cameos. This PR64 example has dark gray and rose in hand coloring with choice surfaces. Seated proof strikes with thick toning typically perform well when viewed under bright light. This is the case here as watery mirrors are exposed along with pretty toning patterns. The obverse shifts to mostly rose with teal patches surrounding Liberty's head and at below the base. Vibrant blues, rose and gold are seen on the reverse. A close 10x loupe inspection revealed absolutely perfect surfaces without a single micro blemish.

There is occasional "crust," particularly in the reverse legend, but otherwise the toning is light. The most obvious mark is nicely hidden within the horizontal lines of the reverse shield. Briggs' observations on striking characteristics of 1867-S quarters are consistent with this example, which is well struck except for the stars, and which exhibits dentils that are not completely sharp. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder and acquired by the consignor from Brian Greer, May 2000.

A pleasing Liberty Seated quarter offering from the Missouri Collection.
	1868-S	VF35	PCGS 83703745		Choice	$935	Scarce Date, Choice Original, Uniform Gray-Brown Patina, Conservative Grading. Liberty Seated quarters never cease to amaze me as to the number of very scarce dates with mintage under 100,000. Take for example this choice 1868 San Francisco struck piece with a mintage of only 96,000 and low PCGS populations throughout the grade range. Seven examples are reported at VF35 and only eight at the EF40 grade when viewing CoinFacts. Between EF40 and AU58, there are an additional thirteen graded and few known in mint state. Surfaces on this example are cover with uniform gray-brown patina. Strike is typical for the Type II obverse design by James Longacre and I believe the assigned PCGS grade is more a function of strike than wear. Looking at the reverse, an EF40 grade is justified. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder and ready for inclusion in an advanced Seated collection. Images after the Manchester NH show if it lasts that long.
	1868-S	VF20	PCGS 19957769	Briggs 1-A	Original	$625	New May 14! Challenging San Francsco Date, Near Choice Original Surfaces, Medium Gray Patina, Accurately Graded. A low mintage San Francisco date that has proven to be elusive in choice original preservation states. Mintage was limited to 96,000 pieces followed by acutely low survival rate. As a result, CAC approval in all grades is an anemic fourteen pieces. Please consider that point for a moment. This example is only one of six graded by PCGS at the VF20 grade level. Surfaces are strictly original with uniform gray patina and no abrasions worthy of noting. Strike is typical for the date with the usual weakness from about 4:00 to 8:00 including the denomination and olive leaves. Grading in accurate. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 holder with blue label and standard ring insert. This is a date that collectors should immediate scoop up when available and fairly priced.
	1869	PR64	PCGS 32735524	Briggs 2-B	Choice	$1150	A Near Gem, Bright Reflective Mirrors, Peripheral Rose Gold, Hammered Strike, Clean Fields, Fairly Graded, New Hampshire Collection. The New Hampshire Collection consignor decides to redirect his box of 20 collecting goals and brings this lovely proof quarter to market. 1869 proof strikes were limited to 600 pieces and are listed as Briggs 2-B in Larry's Encyclopedia. This example has been well preserved with near gem original surfaces. The mirrors are bright and reflective with peripheral rose gold decorating the untoned centers. Strike is absolutely hammered with high relief devices. The right obverse field has a few faint hairlines that limits the grade on a technical basis but with excellent eye appeal. CAC believed so and rewarded with a green bean. Housed in 2015 PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1869	MS63	PCGS 22104204		Choice	$4685	Very Scarce Philadelphia Date, Choice Original, Relfective Cartwheel Luster, Lightly Mirrored Fields, Hammered Strike. Tiny mintage of only 16,000 places this 1869 strike near the top of the list for rare Philadelphia mint issues in the Liberty Seated quarter series. PCGS has graded six (6) at the MS63 grade level with only six (6) finer. This example is at the ideal "value" point in terms of perservation states versus cost. Light rose-gold toning enhances the reflective fields and frosty devices. A few minor marks do not distract. It would be difficult to locate an example nicer than this sharply struck specimen at the asking price. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. Consigned by an individual that wishes to stay silent but carries a big bag of great Liberty Seated quarters. Last sold at auction during 2010 and finally back to the market via GFRC.
	1869	MS63	PCGS 16653356	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$4350	Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection.

The present coin exhibits fine detail on all design elements and the surfaces are semiprooflike, especially on the reverse. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1869	G04	PCGS 32086554	Briggs 1-A	Original	$575	Original, Accurate Grading, Rare as only 16,000 Minted. One would be hard pressed to locate a better example of this rare Philadelphia date in Good 4 or Good 6. Surfaces are covered with thick gray toning that do hide some minor obverse lines and scattered reverse marks. Offsetting these minor imperfections are the remaining device details and the bold rims which leads me to believe that Good 4 is a well balanced grade while Good 6 would have been just fine too.. This is the only Good 4 example certified at PCGS with (4) in Good 6 and (2) at VG8 level. Once the grade level reaches VF, then price jumps to four figures. Most collectors will pursue lower grade examples and this offering should be carefully considered. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. The white lines on lower reverse image are on the holder and not the coin.
	1870	PR64	PCGS 10822290		Choice	$1250	Choice Original, Gold, Rose and Blue Patina, Active Mirrors, Accurately Graded, Missouri Collection. 1870 proof seated quarter mintage was typical 1,000 pieces for that era. This surviving example is well preserve and acquired a darker in hand viewed gray-gold patina over the years. The fun starts when tilting ever so slightly under a light source. The obverse glows with bright gold shades surrounding the stars and moving inward to the rose center....so pretty and pleasing. Reverse is similar with yellow gold at the legend that quickly transitions to sky blue on the eagle. GFRC images are ineffective in capturing the reflective coloring so please believe my description. I really like this piece! There a several hairlines to the immediate right of the drapery that account for the PR64 grade. A fun and attractive Liberty Seated proof quarter offering from the Missouri Collection.
	1870	MS62	PCGS 24215311	Briggs 1-A	Original	$2000	Scarce Mint State Grade, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Creamy Tan-Gold Patina, Original Surfaces, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. Like many Philadelphia Seated quarter dates from the Civil War and Reconstruction period, 1870 brought a limited of mintage of 86,400 pieces.

The proof like fields are quite active and pleasing during bright light viewing. Fully struck from an obverse die that exhibits considerable die rust throughout the gown and shield. The EF45 assigned grade is very fair as Liberty's lower leg is nicely round with just light rub. Some marks in the right field hold this piece from a choice desigation but should not impact a TPG grading attempt which is warranted. From the Sunset Point Collection of Liberty Seated quarters.

A better Philadelphia date with limited mintage of 118,200 pieces. Brilliant cartwheel luster is immediately evident during bright light viewing. Strike is hammered, and coupled with the lustrous surfaces, provides for excellent eye appeal. Wispy hairlines in the obverse fields account for the assigned grade. In hand and bright light viewing suggests a higher grade. 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 Sunset Point Collection.

	1872-CC	EF40	PCGS OGH 9585007		Original	HOLD $11500	New April 29! Original, Springfield Collection. The rare Carson City coins of 1870-1873 are the first pieces that draw the eye whenever a group of Seated quarters comes to market. These are the key dates in the Seated dollar series as well, and for Seated dimes the critical run spans from 1871 to 1874. Within the quarter series the 1872-CC is somewhat more available than the other three coins, but this is only a relative comparison! The 1872-CC stands on its own against any other branch mint seated quarter, including the 1849-O and 1872-S. Problem-free examples are rarer still, as many Carson City coins were somewhat overweight in silver and not coined to the standard of 90% silver and 10% copper. The suboptimal alloy, combined with heavy circulation, is responsible for the lack of high-grade pieces such as the present example. This piece has somewhat of a "two-tone" appearance, a pleasing effect on circulated coinage, with blue hues in protected areas laid against a off-pink background. Surfaces are better than average for a Carson City coin of this era, with a few marks noted around the upper portion of the obverse. Housed in a PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder, purchased by the consignor from David Lawrence in June 2003 and previously from the Bruce Burnham collection.
	1872-S	AU50	PCGS 50064374		Original	$6950	New April 30! Original, Springfield Collection. This is the toughest S-mint piece in the Seated quarter series, with a mintage of 83,000 pieces. Although other S-mint quarters were struck in lower quantities, Briggs notes that many of the 1872-S issue were likely melted in 1873. As a result, availability is the key word, and this issue is decidedly in the "least available" category. The present example has a gray "skin" and is evenly toned. The strike is typical, with flat stars as noted by Briggs for the issue. The reverse exhibits a die clash through the scroll, a well-known characteristic of the 1872-S reverse die. GFRC sold an AU55 example for $7500 in 2017. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder. Sold by Brian Greer to the present consignor, who was a steady customer, in August 2003.
	1872-S	VF25	raw	Briggs 1-A	Cleaned	$4500	New April 29! Rarest San Francisco Minted Date, Glossy Luster, Old Non Abrasive Clean, Retoning Gray-Gold, Sunset Point Collection. The Liberty Seated quarter series key San Franc isco date with limited mintage of 83,000. A date that is difficult to locate in any grade or condition. Briggs speculates that, "most probably melted in 1873 creating a far greater demand than supply." This offering is part of the Sunset Point Collection and demonstrated how difficult this date is to locate well preserved and in high grade. Surfaces are glossy from an old non mechanical cleaning and are recovering with light gray and gold coloring. Fields are essentially blemish free regardless of the time in circulation. An ideal candidate for a Dansco or Whitman bookshelf album collection as nearly every set has this hole unfilled.
	1873 With Arrows	MS63	PCGS 13522196		Choice	$1385	Choice Original, Beautiful Satiny Cartwheel Luster, Intermixed Teal, Rose and Gold Patina, Accurately Graded. A perfect With Arrows type coin for an AU or Mint State type set. Quality Liberty Seated quarters are always challenging to locate so those with CAC approval should garner close attention. That is the case with this lovely 1873 With Arrows example. Perfectly original with uniform teal gold patina that remains transparent to the underlying cartwheel luster. Overall strike is well executed and balanced. Original mint state is easily seen throughout the main devices and fields and undisturbed. The assigned MS63 grade is accurate given that the thick patina dampens some of the luster. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. If you are a fan of strict originality and natural toning then this lovely quarter is for you. I would rather have this example in my collection rather than a blast white example that might achieve a higher grade.
	1873 No Arrows Closed 3	G04	PCGS 31470665		Choice	HOLD $600	Closed 3, So Rare, Choice Original, Much Honest Wear, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Accurately Graded, Mt. View Liberty Seated Quarter Collection. 1873 Closed 3 Liberty Seated quarters simply get no respect. Mintage is only 40,000 pieces with few having survived based on PCGS population reports. Securing a problem free attractive example will be very difficult if using CAC population report as a proxy for those surviving choice. CAC has approved only ten (10) examples with this Good 4 being the lowest graded piece to be approved. Most CAC approvals are clustered in the VF through EF grades and sell at a substantially higher value than the Mt View Collection example. The Mt View offering features much honest wear but without issues. Fields are toned a gray-brown and produce attractive circulated cameo eye appeal on both sides. Obverse rim is worn through at stars 9 through 11 with additional reverse rim wear at STA(TES OF) and at the denomination. Otherwise a blemish free piece. Accurately graded and housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder with CAC approval.
	1873 With Arrows	MS63	NGC 1716019071		Original	$1250	Near Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. 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 Sunset Point Collection.
	1873 No Arrows Open 3	AU55	PCGS 35038782	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$575	Pleasing Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Choice Original Surfaces, Light Lavendar-Rose Patina, Completely Strike, Excellent Bright Light Performance . If a superior 1873 No Arrows Open 3 quarter has been on your shopping list, then this above average example might be for you! A single bright light inspection definitely made me a believer. First is the frosty cartwheel luster that is active and vibrant. Second is the soft lavendar-rose patina that floats on the obverse and reverse surfaces. Strike is complete on both sides with no points of weakness. Choice surfaces are also blemish free. The resulting eye appeal is very pleasing. Wear is limited to faint rub on the left facing breast and lower knee. Accurately grade and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Please give this lovely quarter special consideration.
	1873 No Arrows, Closed 3	AU55	PCGS 25283267	Briggs 2-B	Original	$6000	Original, Sunset Point Collection. After the early strikings of 1873 coinage made the 3 in the date look like another 8, another Open 3 logotype was produced and implemented. (This problem recurred 50 years later with the Peace dollar, but no such change was made, much to the regret of collectors with weak eyesight.) The coin on offer is a Closed 3 1873 quarter with just a touch of wear on silver-blue surfaces that retain largely intact luster. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1873 No Arrows Closed 3	VF20	ICG 2704250401	Briggs 2-B	Market Acceptable	$900	Closed 3, Rare Business Strike, Ancient Dip, Retoning Light Gold, Conservative Grading, Sunset Point Collection. The 1873 Closed 3 date is an R5 rarity in all grades. Locating a business strike example that is fully choice may take a decade and some luck to boot. Mintage is listed at 40,000 but few survived due to melting at the Philadelphia mint during transition to With Arrows dies. Actually, proof examples, with a mintage of only 600 are more available and caution is always advised to check for business strike diagnostics when considering a purchase. This Closed 3 example, from the Sunset Point Collection, is a no question business strike with reverse die marker in the lower shield. ICG has net graded this example at the VF20 level though device details are closer to VF30/VF35. Surfaces have seen a long ago dip or other form of non mechanical cleaning leaving glossy reflective luster. Surfaces are recovering with in hand gray coloring that shifts to light gold under a bright light. The ICG net grade of VF20 is quite fair in my opinion given the rarity and probability of locating a better example. PCGS price guides lists $1250 for the VF20 grade with two CoinFacts auction records that are in alignment. This example is therefore priced at the same level. A true rarity in the Seated quarter series and an important offering from the Sunset Point Collection.
	1873-CC With Arrows	G04	PCGS 27287375	Briggs 1-A	Original	$4950	Rare Carson City Date, Original Surfaces, Light Gray Patina, Ebony Highlights, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. An important offering of an 1873 Carson City struck Seated quarter with nothing but honest wear. Mintage is a low 12,462 with survivors in any grades being R5+ and quickly higher in rarity if choice. One must understand striking characteristic to properly grade heavily circulated examples. Reverse rims are always weak under the denomination with wear moving into the lettering below fine grades. Most survivors will have issues including porosity. A careful 10x loupe inspection of the surfaces on this example revealed no porosity or damage. Surfaces are well worn and toned a light gray with mottled ebony toning highlights on both sides. Obverse rim is bold and elevated with weak denticles. Reverse rim has survived well during circulation with no wear into QUAR DOL, through close. The Good 4 assigned grade appears to be conservative as Good 6 is more warranted. Housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder with edge view insert. An important duplicate offering from the Sunset Point Collection that will please the new owner. Fairly priced.
	1873-S With Arrows	F15	PCGS 83668739		Choice	$225	Choice Original, Uniform Gun Metal Gray Patina, Well Struck, Blemish Free, Accurately Graded, Mt. View Liberty Seated Quarter Collection. 1873 San Francisco strikes have a mintage of 156,000 and are much scarcer than its 1874-S following year counterpart. This Fine 15, from the Mt. View Collection has strictly original gray patina and choice surfaces. Strike strike is unifiorm with full denticles and well formed stars. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder and worthy of special consideration by those building a mid circulated grade date and mintmark set.
	1873-S	AU Details	raw	Briggs 2-B	Cleaned	HOLD $325	High Grade AU, Strictly Original Reverse, Cleaned Obverse, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Sunset Point Collection. At first glance, this 1873 San Francisco struck Seated quarter appears to be a high grade surviving example. My assigned grade would be AU55. However, the obverse has been lightly cleaned resulting in bright frosty luster than is inconsistent with the natural cartwheel luster on the reverse. The reverse is no question original with a faint rose-gold patina and entirely blemish free. Mint frost surrounds the obverse stars regardless of its current preservation state. A duplicate from the Sunset Point Collection that would be an ideal value purchase by someone assembling a Dansco or Whitman bookshelf collection.
	1873-S	AU55	PCGS 35989999	Briggs 2-B	Original	$850	Better With Arrows San Francisco Date, Near Choice Original, Rich Rose-Blue Patina, Satiny Luster, Completely Struck, Watch Hill Collection. 1873 brings the better of the two With Arrows San Francisco dates. This well preserved example is an important acquistion opportunity for serious collectors of the Seated quarter denomination. Both sides are covered with rich rose patina on both sides along with a blue band on the lower obverse. Pleasing satiny luster is immediately released during bright light inspection. Strike is typically well executed for this date with this specimen being fully impressed. Mintage is only 156,000. PCGS population is only fifteen in all AU grades (AU50 to AU58) with only two graded at the AU55 level. This is a chance to acquire one of the two AU55s certified. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. From the Watch Hill Collection of fine numismatic properties.
	1873-S	VF35	raw		Original	New Price $225	Original Gray Patina, Decent Strike, Fairly Graded, West Texas Collection. A strictly original 1873 San Francisco strike that will easily grade at any TPG. Surfaces are essentially blemish free and close to choice with even gray patina. An Original quality rating was assigned due to an ancient rim bruise below the 18 digits. Priced accordingly and perfect for a Dansco or Whitman date and mintmark album collection. A nice duplicate from the West Texas Collection.
	1874 With Arrows	MS62	PCGS 08787857		Choice	$1350	New April 30! Briggs Plate Coin, Mirrored Obverse, Old Paper Envelope Gray Toning, CAC Approved . Yes indeed, this is the 1874 With Arrows plate coin from Brigg's The Comprehensive Encyclopedia of United States Liberty Seated Quarters. I've personally matched subtle die markers with the plates and guarantee the pedigree. A lovely example with violet-gray obverse toning typical of storage in old paper 2x2 envelopes. The patina is fairly thick but reflective luster can still be activated during bright light viewing. An above average strike with no blemishes worthy of mention. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 blue label holder with CAC approval. An ideal With Arrows type coin or perfect for a higher grade Seated quarter date and mintmark set. Please note the the obverse line from star 4 to the left facing arm is a holder scratch and not on the coin.
	1874 With Arrows	MS64	NGC 289147007		Choice	$1600	With Arrows Type, Tan-Gold Patina, Frosty Luster, Active Cartwheels, Choice Original Surfaces, Typical Strike, Sunset Point Collection. A perfect With Arrows type offering or ideal for those pursuing mint state Seated quarters. Sparkling cartwheel luster and thick mint frost are immediately evident during bright light viewing. Both sides are toned. Obverse coloring is mostly tannish-gold while the reverse is creamy white gold with embedded sky blue. Strike is typical for the date. Abrasions are to a minimum and consistent with the assigned grade. Heavy die clashing is also seen on the obverse. Overall, a frosty choice original offering for the selective collector. 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 Sunset Point Collection.
	1874 With Arrows	MS62	raw		Original	$1150	With Arrows Type, Multi Color Toning, Original, Fully Struck, Sunset Point Collection. The 1874 With Arrows date, in the Seated quarter series, is more challenging than its 1873 With Arrows counterpart. Mintage is lower (471,000 vs. 1,271,000) as are the PCGS populations in AU and mint state. This example is raw and was stored in a 2x2 paper envelope in the Sunset Point Collection as the consignor maintain all his pieces in original holders or 2x2s. A closed inspection has convinced that MS62 is an accurate grade. The obverse toning in a combination of aquamarine and gold surrounding light rose at the center while the reverse offers a pretty rainbow arc at the left rim and gold at the balance of the rims. Strike is complete. Dies are clashed including arcing clash marks above the date. There are no blemishes to report after a close 10x loop inspection. If not sold in the near term, this piece will be heading to PCGS for grading.

A lovely 1875 with classic frosty silver gray surfaces and active cartwheel luster. A near choice original with a complete strike and always a plus when evaluating Type II/II design Seated quarters.

Yet another quality offering from the Twins Lakes Collection

	1875-CC	EF45	NGC 4207068002		Original	New Price $1325	New May 14! May 14, 2019 Price Reduction! Scarce Date, Original Light Gray, Residual Luster, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Murphy's Collection. Price Reduction Effective October 17, 2018. The 1875-CC Seayed quarter date does not secure enough recognition for its scarcity. Production of Carson City Mint quarters substantially increased to to 140,000 in 1875. This is scarce in all grades and very scarce in AU or better. This well preserved example offers light golden gray surfaces and residual luster. Mint luster surrounds most stars and is seen within the gown lines. Frost and metal flow lines surround the reverse legend also. There are a few faint rim chatter anomalies but nothing distracting as attempting to be 100% accurate. Strike is typical. Accurately graded and housed in new large font NGC holder. An important Liberty Seated quarter dollar offering from Murphy's Collection to consider.
	1876	MS62	PCGS OGH 3303305		Choice	$495	New March 26! Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! This lovely, CAC-approved Seated quarter features soft, pastel tones underlaid by vibrant luster. The strike is typical, with the star centers and arrow feathers not completely brought up. There are no distracting marks and the overall effect is pleasing. From the Sunset Point collection and housed in a Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) PCGS old green holder with CAC approval.
	1876	PR63	PCGS 21651380		Choice	$700	Choice Original, Uniform Light Rose Patina, Vibrant Mirrors, Conservative Grading, Missouri Collection. 1876 proof seated quarter mintage is a typical 1,150 strikes. About 20% have been designated as Cameo based on the PCGS population report. Within the non Cameo population are excellent values and this Missouri Collection offering qualifies for that recognition. Mirrors are very reflective and toned light rose on both obverse and reverse. There is no question as to the originality. Eye appeal is that of a higher grade but obverse field imperfections limit to PF63, though conservative. 10x loupe inspection revealed a lint mark by star 4 and a few wispy hairlines while the right field has a mild divot as made. Reverse is blemish free. A quality Liberty Seated quarter offering from the Missouri Collection that is fairly priced for the overall eye appeal.
	1876	AU50	PCGS 28432076		Choice	$170	New May 14! Die Chip Star 11, Thick Crusty Olive-Gray Patina, Mirrored Fields, Choice Original, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded. I really like this 1876 Seated quarter offering due to the thick crusty olive gray patina along with serious reflective luster under a light source. Fields are heavily mirrored on the obverse and to a lesser extant on the reverse. When viewed under a light source, the crusty patina melts away to expose pastel gold and aquamarine shades. Completely struck and unabraded. A cool die chip is seen on star 11 with the same shape as two star points; rather cool. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 holder and so well preserved for present day collectors.
	1876	VF25	PCGS 33771864		Original	$75	Misplaced Digit in Denticles, Original Gray, Accurately Graded, Mountain View Collection. Another example of PCGS struggling to get variety attributes straight. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with label attribution reading "RPD FS-302 (FS-006.8)". Unfortunately, the date is not repunched, rather there is a misplaced digit in denticles between 87 digits. Surfaces are original with light to medium gray toning. An opportunity to start a collection of mis-attributed Seated varieties..... Another interesting piece from the Mountain Collection.
	1876-CC	G06	PCGS 83631830		Gem	$90	Gem Original, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Deep Gray Fields. Conservative Grading, Watch Hill Collection. Ex. Mountain View Collection.

Accurately graded with no blemishes to note. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. This GFRC mint state Seated quarter offering is for those collectors wanting originality as a priority over bright lustrous surfaces. Bright light performance with the mirrored fields validates the MS64 grade level.
	1876-S	MS64	PCGS 21525750		Choice	$825	New March 26! Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! This frosty piece is dappled with russet and gold on both sides, as the central figures peak out from the toned fields. The strike is complete, with the exception of die cracks and weakness in the lower reverse around QUAR. DOL. A fingermark in the obverse right field mixes in with the toning. Housed in a Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert and part of the Sunset Point complete set of Liberty Seated quarters.
	1877	MS64	NGC 1716019086		Original	$750	New March 26! Near Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! A hammered strike is the hallmark of this exceptionally well-detailed piece, with deep lettering, strong star centers, and distinct feathering in the eagle. Some chatter in the right obverse field limits the technical grade, but the real attraction is the frosted devices that impart the look of a Cameo proof. Untoned and brilliant with the exception of a patch of deep gold around Liberty's knee. From the Sunset Point collection, housed in an old (late-1990s) NGC holder with standard ring insert.
	1877	AU58	PCGS 84304449		Original	$290	Crusty Original, Satiny Cartwheel Luster, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded, Ft. Lauderdale Collection.

	1877-S	MS64	NGC 1848081015	Briggs 11-J	Choice	$895	Medium S, Near Gem Original, Huge Bright Light Eye Appeal, Accurately Graded. If GFRC customers could only view this piece under bright light...Wow! Strictly original and natural patina covers the surfaces and the in hand appearance is that of mostly rose coloring with some aquamarine at the obverse rim and light rose across the reverse. Well that all changes when this piece is exposed to a light source. The obverse turns into a color masterpiece with core blue and rose intermixed center that transitions to light yellow gold at the rims. Believe me, I'm not over exaggerating on this one and the eye appeal is well above MS64. The reverse stays rose under bright light with a dash of blues at AMERICA. Housed in pristine older NGC holder.
	1877-S	MS64	NGC 1634986002		Choice	$800	New March 26! Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! The 1877-S Seated quarter may be one of the more available pieces in the series, but it's hard to get tired of looking at well-preserved 19th century silver coinage. This MS64 peice is largely untoned, with occasional touches of ochre at the rims. The strike is complete with most star centers defined. A few ticks are hidden in the lower portion of Liberty's gown. This would be a nice addition to a Seated type set or high-grade collection of Seated quarters. Housed in a late-1990s NGC holder with standard ring insert. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1877-S S/Horizontal S	MS63	PCGS 50181307	Briggs 4-D	Choice	$1925	New March 26! Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! Delicate shades of pink and greenish-gold blanket both sides of this "hammered strike" Seated quarter. The detail is strong, without a single point of weakness. Marks are minimal, indeed, many quarters at this grade level exhibit additional surface issues. The all-important S/s mintmark is bold and easily detected by the naked eye. Housed in an old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert, and part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.

	1878	VF25	PCGS 31342043	Briggs 2-B	Original	$60	New May 14! Polished Reverse, Thick Crusty Gray Patina, Original Surfaces, Scarcer Than Mintage Indicates . 1878 Philadelphia strike have a reported mintage of 2,260,000 piece. One would expect this date to be common and easily located. But that is not the case. This Briggs 2-B example features thick crusty gray patina on both sides. The reverse die has been heavily polished resulting in the loss of UNITED STATES in the legend along with left facing wing feather. An interesting die variety where the obverse appears to be full VF30 while the reverse is closer to Fine 12. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder. Inexpensively priced to sell.
	1878-CC	MS63	PCGS 21887432	Briggs 2-B	Choice	$1650	New March 26! Choice Original, Sunset Point Collection. Description added! The appeal of any CC coin in the Seated series is undeniable, and even more so at this grade level. Carson City was a hard to reach, backwater location, but nearby silver was abundant, and the residents were justifiably proud of their coining capability. The present, silver-toned example exhibits a complete strike along with a few streaks of obverse brown. Briggs 2-B variety, with even date and no reverse die polishing. Housed in a Gen 4.2 (2004-2005) old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert.
	1879	PR64CAM	PCGS 11842626		Gem	$1360	Gem Original, Accurately Graded, Missouri Collection. I had a strong feeling that this gem original 1979 proof quarter would garner CAC approval and was proven correct. This is a superior Liberty Seated quarter proof at the PR64CAM grade level as fields offer watery texture and flashy reflections. Stunning might be the operative word! GFRC images simply cannot do this piece justice due to straight on lighting and imaging that only capture the gray and gold coloring. Tilting this piece, ever so slightly under bright light, releases bold mirrors. Reverse has a lovely dark blue toning arc from eagle's left wing up to the scroll. There is one lint mark below eagle and olive branch stem to mention. A gorgeous Liberty Seated proof quarter offering from the Missouri Collection that is fairly priced.
	1879	EF45	PCGS 82972437		Choice	$600	Low Mintage Date, Crusty Gray-Gold Patina, Choice Original Surfaces, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Titan Collection. Mintage for 1879 Philadelphia strike amounted to only 13,600 piece. Mint state examples have a huge survival rate (161 PCGS graded MS63 through MS66) as compared to subsequent years. Choice circulated examples are challenging to locate as only a small fraction if the mintage entered circulation. This EF45 survival is absolutely choice with uniform gray-gold patina on both sides. Reverse has darker toning streaks. Strike is typical for the date. A careful 10x loupe inspection revealed not a single blemish to mention. Fairly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval. Another quality offering from the Titan Collection that will please the selective collector.
	1879	F12	PCGS 32237602		Choice	$365	Low Mintage Philadelphia Date, Choice Original, Uniform Natural Gray Patina, Blemish Free, Accurately Graded, Mt. View Liberty Seated Quarter Collection. A strictly original example of the low mintage 1879 Philadelphia date. Mintage is only 13,600. Fields and main devices are covered with gray patina on both sides. Surface are choice regardless of the long time in circulation with both obverse and reverse being entirely blemish free. Accurately graded and housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder with CAC approval. Another quality mid circulated grade Seated quarter offering from the Mt. View Collection.
	1879	MS62	PCGS OGH 1338442	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$865	Low Mintage Date, Brilliant Cartwheel Luster, Frosty Devices, Choice Original Surfaces, Complete Strike, Golden Harvest Collection. Brilliant cartwheel luster of a higher grade is immediately evident when first viewing this 1879 Seated quarter. Mintage is a low 13,600 pieces. Devices are covered with thick min frost on both sides. Strike is complete and essentially hammered. Faint chatter on the obverse fields is grade limiting on a technical basis. However, the overall eye appeal is well beyond the assigned MS62 grade level. Housed in PCGS old green holder and a candidate for CAC submission. Another great offering from the Golden Harvest Collection to consider.
	1879	AU50	PCGS 06759247	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$465	New May 14!
