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 few marks in the right obverse field are noted. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	1856-O	VF35	NGC 411675420	Unlisted	Choice	$225	Crusty Gray Patina, Steely Fields, Well Preserved. Attributing 1856-O die varieties can be challenging as is the case for this new offering. Based on the Briggs book, I see obverse 3 paired with reverse E. Die specialist may wish to take note. This is a choice survivor with what first appears as crusty gray patina on both sides. Angled lighting exposes steely fields and aquamarine shades. Strike is typical while grading is accurate. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1856-O	VF35	NGC 4921243006	Unlisted	Original	HOLD $225	New May 11! Crusty Original, Ebony-Gray Skin, Southern Texas Collection. Crusty is the operative word to describe this original 1856-O Seated quarter. A thick ebony-gray skin provide contrast to the lightly colored wear point, some calling this a circulated cameo effect. Several obverse field marks are ancient and partially toned. Another Southern Texas Collection release that is certain to please originality fans. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1857	AU55	PCGS 20850407		Choice	$350	New May 8! Choice Original, Eclectic Collection.. Steel, gray, and light gold patina covers both sides, decorated by splashes of light dirt throughout. Quarters of this date often exhibit striking issues, and in this case a few stars and feathers are softly impressed. CAC has approved 101 pieces in all grades combined, a tiny percentage of the near ten million pieces produced. A couple marks to the left of the wing are somewhat hidden by the toning. Although ostensibly a "common date," this example is highly original and scarce as such. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	1857 Reverse Die Clash	EF40	PCGS 41025101	FS-901	Choice	$4700	New May 8! Flying Eagle Die Clash, Choice Original, Eclectic Collection.. Deep gray surfaces lead toward russet patina at the rims, while the protected areas of the central devices host similar copper shades. Strike is typical, with flat stars and eagle feathers blending together. Briggs 6-F, with Flying Eagle cent clash marks above the wings. This is one of the more bizarre errors in the quarter series and clearly the result of either gross negligence or deliberate chicanery. Either way, it's a great conversation piece and ideal for sharing with other collectors. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder.
	1857	VF35	ANACS 7294264		Original	$110	New May 14! Crusty Gray, Accurately Grade, Union Bridge Collection.

	1857-O	MS62	NGC 3814091004	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$2100	New May 8! Choice Original, Eclectic Collection.. A wide array of color is evident as this piece is flipped under a light, with rose, gold, and blue patina apparent. Nicely struck, with just a couple soft stars, while the usual problem area south of the reverse shield is fully detailed. Briggs 1-A, with the mintmark just left of center. All coins exist on a continuum, and this original piece is close to the CAC standard, possibly precluded by only a few stray lines in right obverse field. Still, this piece far nicer than most 1857-O quarters encountered in the market. Housed in a newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1857-O	AU55	NGC 6058118007		Gem	$850	New May 19! Underrated New Orleans Issue, Rich Multi-Color Toning, Accurately Grade. The Liberty Seated quarter series is full of challenging dates, some more recognized than others. 1857 New Orleans strikes have been historically challenging in AU with prices finally catching up with scarcity. The recent long PCGS grading lead-times has also driving more collectors towards NGC grading, which is accurate for this lovely example. Both sides are richly toned with intermixed copper-gold, green, and rose shades. Steely fields are undisturbed and pleasing during 10x inspection. Angled lighting exposes reflective luster that is still able to radiate through a fairly thick skin. No CAC attempt while with GFRC or the prior collector from which this piece was purchased. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	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.

A better early San Francisco quarter date with the entire mintage of 121,000 placed into circulation in support of small denomination species needs for Western frontier commerce. Few survivors are known fully choice with the CAC approved population totaling only 19 pieces. This evenly worn offering is choice with crusty gray surfaces. Grading is conservative with full LIBERTY and bold elevated rims on the reverse. Angled lighting exposes steely fields that are unabraded. CAC population is 2 at grade with only 3 finer through VF20. An important opportunity for fans of the Liberty Seated quarter series that demand strict originality. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	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.
	1859	MS64+	PCGS 32552815	II/II	Gem	$2500	New May 8! Gem Original, Rare II/II Design Hub Strike, Eclectic Collection.. Brilliant luster imparts active cartwheels to this exceptionally flashy piece. Untoned centers lead toward pleasing russet color at the rims, more so on the obverse. The strike is exquisite, defying this normally picky cataloger to identify even the slightest weakness. This is a scarce variety, Briggs 8-G, pairing the type II obverse and type II reverse. Apart from the new hubs, date styles also changed in this year, with smaller digit punches now used. This GFRC Gem-rated piece is easily one of the finest for the variety, and the hammered strike sharply conveys the intentions of the engraver. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1859	MS63	ANACS OWH 3016965	I/II	Choice	$1225	New April 19! Steely Polished Fields, Orange-Gold, Peripheral Blues, Fully Choice. Violet, orange, and cobalt blue blanket both sides of this pleasingly toned Seated quarter. Fields are particularly steely with heavy die polished lines on the obverse. 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. Accurately graded and fully choice. Housed in an ANACS old white holder.
	1860-O	AU55	PCGS 33298637	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$850	Low Mintage New Orleans Date, Brilliant Steely Luster, Natural Toning. 1860 brought the final year of Liberty Seated dime and quarter production at the New Orleans. America was on the verge of a nightmarish civil war. Seated quarter strikes amount to only 388,000 from two die pairs. The Briggs 1-A pairing is recognized as being the better struck of the two pairs. This new example is fresh to the GFRC price list. Steely luster is eye grabbing upon first inspection. The obverse center is toned a lovely rose and surrounded by peripheral blue. Reverse coloring is nearly uniform coin gray. This date is very scarce at the AU grade level and has shown recent price increases. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1860-S	EF40	NGC 7001444001	Briggs 1-A	Original	$9000	Original, Sunset Point Collection. 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	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-S	VF Details	PCGS 83712266		Cleaned	$1150	Rare Date, Original Surfaces, Rose-Gray Toning, Obverse Rim Damage, Strong VF Devices, LaSalle Collection. 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 rarely in VF or better. The LaSalle Collection brings an original Very Fine example to market but with an obverse rim clip at stars 6 and 7. Much of the clip is hidden by the PCGS edge prong otherwise this piece is fully original. Rose-gray patina covers the obverse while the reverse is toned an even light gray. Strike is well executed . Freshly graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with VF Details (Rim Damage) certification. An ideal "filler" candidate for a Dansco album collection at a fair price.
	1862-S	MS62	PCGS 9516515	Briggs 2-A	Original	$3650	New PCGS Holder and Images, Better San Francisco Date, Original Frosty Luster, Creamy Tan-Rose Patina, Sunset Point Collection. In Mint State, 1862 San Francisco struck quarters are scarce and occasionally available. However, most of the known examples are seen less than fully choice. The 1862-S is more likely to appear in MS62 than any other grade, and the best examples top out at MS64. The Sunset Point Collection example has been freshly reholdered at the 2020 FUN show and what a difference fresh plastic makes as compared to the yellowed PCGS Gen 2.2 old green holder. GFRC photography accurately captures the tan-rose coloring and soft satiny luster. A fully struck example that is most pleasing. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

The interaction between the brilliant proof fields and speckled rose toning leads premium eye appeal. Reverse toning transitions to darker hues at the claws with addition teal shades at the rim. GFRC images simply cannot illustrate the intense luster and color modulation under a light source, so please use imagination based on the descriptions. Rare with CAC approval as population stands at three at PF65 with five finer. The Washington State Collection does it again with a superior Civil War era offering. Advanced collections need to take heed. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) holder with CAC approval.

Mintage of 16,250 and first Philadelphia issue with IN GOD WE TRUST motto. Unfortunately, the reverse die was damage early on resulting in loss of device details surrounding and including the upper left shield. This date is rare in all circulated grades as most survivors saved by collectors will be found in Mint State or AU grades. CAC has approved 13 in all circulated grades as compared to 26 total. This Good 6 example is well preserved with dark gray fields and circulated cameo eye appeal. Regardless of extensive wear, surfaces are blemish free. Obverse rim is nicely elevated while the reverse is worn below the denomination. Accurately graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

	1868	MS63	PCGS 36219291	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$4250	New May 8! Choice Original, Eclectic Collection.. Steel-gray color radiates from both sides of this better-date Philadelphia piece, with bits of russet patina evident here and there. The 1868 quarter is scarcer as a business strike than in proof format, and the downward sloping date confirms the all-important circulation strike status. Steely luster is consistent with the assigned grade. Silver production remained low in the post-Civil War era and did not recover until massive discoveries of western silver appeared in the early 1870s. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1868-S	VG10	raw	Briggs 1-A	Original	$300	Low Mintage San Francisco Date, Original Gray Patina, Very Pleasing at Grade, West Texas Collection. There is not question that 1868 brings a challenging San Francesco date for Liberty Seated quarter collectors. Mintage was limited to 96,000 pieces coupled with a low survival rate. Choice survivors are rare in any grade. The West Texas Collection consignor arrives with this perfectly original VG10 example. Surfaces are toned a natural gray along with being unabraded for the grade. The reverse rims are worn through the natural toning exposing the underlying silver coloring. Please be aware that the GFRC images have amplified the contrast between the natural gray and silver coloring. This is a nice example overall and perfect for a Dansco bookshelf album collection.

GFRC is pleased to be offering on of those two AG03 examples. Please check the images that illustrate natural coin gray patina and surprisingly unmarked surfaces given the extensive time in circulation. An excellent specimen until a higher graded example appears on the market. Housed in new large font NGC holde with CAC approval.

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.

	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.

	1880	PR62	PCGS 38939948		Choice	$650	New May 8! Choice Original, Eclectic Collection.. Frosty central devices contrast with mirrorlike fields, highlighting the sharp detail that one expects from a proof strike. Hairlines that are consistent with this grade level are notably absent, and the overall eye appeal is that of a higher-graded coin. Liberty exhibits maroon and olive patina while the eagle is more untoned and reveals a light wash of burgundy color. Proof examples form a distinctly separate discipline among Liberty Seated collecting, and this is simply a matter of taste, with some collectors preferring highly reflective proof pieces rather than business strikes. Regardless, one can be a connoisseur at many levels, and the present piece is a pleasing selection for the assigned grade. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

This frosty piece exhibits mixed russet and blue-green patina, more so on the obverse. A few stars are softly impressed while the eagle's claws offer more detail overall.

As if the quarter series weren't challenging enough, the management at the New Orleans Mint saw it fit to end the series with yet another low mintage issue. This emission was struck to the extent of 68,000 pieces, and unlike the late date Philadelphia pieces that tended to be saved, there were few collectors in New Orleans who did the same.
