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.

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.

	1857-O	EF40	raw		Original	$185	Original, Gray/Rose Patina, Eye Appeal, Seal Beach Collection. An attractive 1857 New Orleans strike with original surfaces.

Reverse is weakly struck at the lower left eagle leg and upper arrow feathers. This lovely Seated quarter will be heading to PCGS at the March Whitman Baltimore show if not sold by then. This piece is all there and would please selective collectors. Once in a TPG holder, this quarter should also CAC if properly graded.
	1858	AU50	PCGS 27609077		Original	$185	Original, Bright Light Eye Appeal, Central California Collection. The images accompanying this listing are down right bad and do not convey the true bright light beauty of this piece. In hand appearance is mostly even light gray toning with darker rose and ebony blue. Not exciting to say the least. But placing under bright light brings about a completely different view and helps explain why the consignor added this piece to his collection. Under bright light, the obverse turns to pretty rose with the darker region a deep blue. The reverse is even more exciting with a rainbow ring through the legend and denomination. The strike is generally flat but there are no blemishes. This is a colorful bright light coin for not too much money. Housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder with edge view insert.
	1858-O	VF25	PCGS 27869106		Choice	$165	Choice Original, Lightly Mottled Brown/Gray Patina, Accurately Graded.

Housed in 2012 generation PCGS holder with blue label and edge view insert; serial number Another offering from recently broken up accumulation of semi key dates in AG/G grades.

	1860	EF40+	raw		Original	$110	Original, Even Gray/Gold Toning, Type II/Type I. A great Dansco album possibility as the surfaces are original with uniform toning. Both obverse and reverse have a light to medium gray coloring that turns to brown/gold under bright light. I believe this is the Briggs 1-A die pair due to the level date and weakly struck stars. The reverse has a few micro lines between the lower left wing tip and olive leaf.
	1860	AU55	PCGS 08901007		Choice	HOLD $500	Type II/I Design Hubs, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Light Gold Coloring, Conservative Grading, Kansas Collection. Ex. Saw Mill Run Collection. I love this 1860 Philadelphia strike and its preservation state so much that a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation is warranted. My eyes are tickled by the frosty cartwheel luster that has subtle golden-rose hues. Struck from Type II obverse and Type I reverse design hubbed dies. Strike is decent with only some weakness at the top of Liberty's head and surrounding two stars. Conservatively graded as I've seen similar in AU58 holders these days. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder. A quality offering from the Kansas Collection that should not last long on the price list even being priced above the guides..

	1861	EF40	PCGS 12415574		Choice	$165	Choice Original, Bold Strike, West Coast Collection. A strictly original 1861 example as we have come to expect from the West Coast consignments.

	1861	AU58	PCGS 83845169		Choice	$335	New June 2! Type II/II, Choice Original, Frosty Silver Gray Patina, Accurately Graded. The change to new Seated quarter obverse and reverse design hubs started during 1859 with the transition completed in 1861. The obverse engraving is the product of James Longacre with help from Paquet. Mintage for the 1861 date is high but locating choice original example in high AU and mint state grounds will take patience. This new GFRC example is perfectly original without a doubt. Frosty have natural mint frost and the toning is a light silver gray with hints of gold at the rims. Strike is hammered with every device detail being deeply impressed. Definitely a choice offering that is freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Fans of strictly original silver coins should pay attention here.

This near choice example offers circulated cameo eye appeal that many collectors strive to locate. Surfaces are strictly original with light to medium gray patina. The darker shades surround the stars, reverse legend and main devices. Strike is typical. There are several toned over lines in the right obverse field that hold this one back from a choice quality rating. Housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder. Please note that the white lines, in the lower right obverse field, are on the holder and not on the coin.

	1865	F12	PCGS 33167796		Original	$300	Better Civil War Date, Original Gray, Accurately Graded. A nice surviving specimen from the Civil War era. Mintage is only 58,800 for this 1865 quarter struck in Philadelphia. Locating silver bullion for coinage was an ongoing problem for the Philadelphia mint as compared to San Francisco. This specimen is original with even medium gray patina covering the entire reverse and most of the obverse. PCGS grading is accurate. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Another quality piece from the Mountain View Collection.

A choice original 1867 Philadelphia strike with ebony/gray patina throughout the obverse and reverse fields. The contrast between the lighter main devices and darker fields results in some darn nice eye appeal for a quarter graded F15. Surfaces are entirely blemish free perfectly original; yes, I'm repeating myself but wish for this point to be understood. Mintage is a low 20,000 pieces. I would challenge GFRC customer to try to locate a better example at the F15 grade level as this offering is so attractive. Housed in newer NGC holder and ready for a new home in an advanced Seated quarter collection. Definitely worthy of a CAC submission.
	1867	EF40	PCGS 31385926		Choice	$2100	Choice Original, Gun Metal Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Scarce Date. CAC Approval On November 22! The 1867 Philadephia mintage is quite low for half dimes, dimes and quarters resulting in an ongoing challenge to locate choice examples. 1867 Seated quarter mintag is only 20,000 pieces. This example is a no question original piece with gun metal gray on the obverse and lighter gray throughout the reverse. The obverse has a darker toning arc through upper stars and Liberty's head. 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	EF40	PCGS 14955834		Original	New Price $1575	Original, Gray with Mottled Ebony, Scarce Date, Highwoods Collection. Locating low mintage Civil War era Liberty Seated quarters is always a challenge. The 1867 Philadelphia date only has a mintage of 20,000 and is infrequently seen. GFRC is lucky to have two EF40 examples in stock. The Highwoods offering is strictly original with base layer of even gray patina. Layered on top of the gray toning is mottled ebony coloring. Bright light viewing results in a gun metal gray/blue appearance. Strike is typical while the main devices and fields are blemish free. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert.
	1867-S	FR2	NGC		Original	$495	Lots of Honest Wear, Even Gray. A semi key San Francisco date with considered wear but surprisely, no problems other than a few faint obverse lines. This piece has even gray patina and is part of the AG/G accumulation presently being offered on price list. CoinFacts indicates a few 1867-S Fair 2 graded examples have come to market in the past five years. Housed new NGC holder and fresh to market. The reverse mintmark is bold and easily seen as is the date regardless of assigned grade.
	1868-S	VF35	PCGS 83703745		Choice	$935	New May 9! 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.
	1869	G4	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.
	1869	F15	PCGS 32937475		Market Acceptable	$625	Better Date, Light Gray Obverse, Darker Reverse, Accurately Graded, Mountain View Colllection. A key Philadelphia date with tiny mintage of 16,000 to consider here. I've assigned a Market Acceptable quality rating as the obverse has seen an old clean and is in the recovery mode with light dull gray toning. The reverse looks to be original with medium gray patina. Blemishes are limited to several small marks in the right obverse field. This is not a strictly original piece but given mintage and survival rate, PCGS felt the coin should straight grade. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Another important duplicate from the Mountain View Collection.
	1869-S	F15	PCGS 32266062		Original	$435	Original Gray/Rose Patina, Difficult San Francisco Date, Weak Strike but Accurately Graded, Mountain View Collection. . A key San Francisco date with meager mintage of 76,000. Surfaces are toned over with uniform gray/rose patina. Strike is a tad weak in the center obverse and at the lower eagle left leg. This piece has a full radial obverse die crack that is typically seen on 1869-S quarters. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. Another important offering from the Mountain View Collection.
	1870	VF35	PCGS 80655387		Choice	$315	Crusty Thick Original Patina, Underrated Date, Accurately Graded. CAC Approval On November 22! Philadelphia mintages for Seated quarters did not recover after the Civil War resulting in underrated dates from 1868 through 1871. The 1870 date is challenging to locate with a tiny mintage of 86,400 pieces struck. PCGS pop report indicates VF30 (8) VF35 (6) EF40 (15) which is rather small. When considering originality and potential mishandling, that are few nice choice pieces available. This example is simply crusty original and completely blemish free. A wise selection by an astute Liberty Seated quarter specialist. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.
	1870	EF40	PCGS 33520899	Brigg 1-A	Choice	$350	Choice Original, Gun Metal Gray Patina, Better Philadelphia Date, Conservative Grading, Tenafly Collection. A surprisingl difficult date to locate choice with a mintage of only 86.400 which is about 10,000 less than the 1868-S date for a perspective. Survival rate is higher than the 1868-S with (15) in EF40 and (16) in EF45 per PCGS population report. This choice original example offers a fairly thick gray patina with olive hues. Adding a light source reveals lightly mirrored surfaces and a light toning layer of blue/gray that disappears around the stars. There are two micro ticks in the obverse right field mentioned for complete accurate but in no way distracting. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Another quality offering from the Tenafly Collection.
	1873	PF60	raw		Cleaned	HOLD $380	Proof Strike, Lightly Cleaned and Retoned, Gun Metal Gray/Blue Surfaces with Mottled Rose/Gold. A proof strike that colorful surfaces including blues, gray, rose and gold. A careful 10x loupe review reveals faint hairlines in the obverse field with some traces on the reverse. These hairlines probably result from a careful clean followed by chemical toning. Bright light viewing results in glowing golden surfaces and attractive. Priced accordingly.
	1873 Closed 3	EF40	PCGS 82630091	Closed 3	Original	$3200	New May 8! Scarce No Arrows Date, Original Light Gray, Conservative Grading. 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. Only 46 examples have been certified by PCGS in all circulated grades. Yes, that includes the entire grade range from G04 through AU58. In EF40 and EF45, only ten examples are certified by PCGS and only two receiving CAC approval when considering combined PCGS and NGC populations. This date is rare and currently underrated. GFRC is proud to offer this light gray toned example certified as EF40 by PCGS. Strike is a significant issue for Type II obverse design and especially on 1873 and 1874 dated strikes at all mints. This example is conservatively graded at the EF40 level given the sharp scroll edges and available reverse device details. Fields and devices are essentially blemish free.

Better Date, Choice Original, Light Gray-Gold Patina, Blemish Free, Accurately Graded. 1874 San Francisco struck quarters have a surprisingly low certified population and are not often seen.

	1875-CC	G4	PCGS 13334784		Choice	$200	Choice Original Gray, Honest Wear, Scarce Date, Mountain View Collection. Always challenging to locate, let along choice. This is the first 1875 Carson City quarter handled by GFRC and though low grade, it is really choice. Surfaces are toned an even gun metal gray with blemishes. Please remember the low mintage of 140,000. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. Worthy of special consideration.
	1875-CC	EF45	PCGS 29860424	Briggs 2-B	Original	$1600	New May 27! Challenging Date, Original Light Gray, Frosty Luster, Accurately Graded. Very few 1875 Carson City quarter strikes come to market in a year's time. As a date, an R-5 rarity in EF/AU is listed according to Briggs and validates the scarcity. This example features surfaces with frosty texture and faint gray patina. Overall strike is well executed including the lower reverse rim which Briggs mentions as having strike weakness issues. Mintage is 140,000 but with a very low survival rate in all grades. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

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.

An obvious EF45 example using conservative grading and having excellent eye appeal. The only item keeping my designation from gem original is a tiny reverse rim bump at 11:00 that is over highlighted by my photography.

A special offering for advanced Seate quarter collectors who are fans of strictly originality. Some collectors enjoy owning pieces with old album bullseye toning while others collect even gray specimens. This piece falls in the latter category with ample luster under bright light coupled with uniform golden gray patina covering both the obverse and reverse surfaces. There are no blemishes either. Obverse strike is perfectly hammered while the lower reverse indicates weakness that is from a lapped or eroded die. Housed in early NGC holder. This is the second time that I've handled this quarter. It originated from an old Maine collection and previously off the market for at least 15 years. I guarantee that the appearance will be better in hand than on my images. Oh...there is no CAC attempt on this piece and I would make a small wager that it would CAC.

	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.

Reverse is also fully struck. Add a light source, and coloring shifts to deep gold at the rims and cartwheel luster is exposed. This attractive quarter is so choice and has never been messed with. Anyone interested should give this piece a shot and secure in hand viewing. You will not what to give it back, beleive me! Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder and worthy of a CAC submission.

	1879	F15	PCGS 82484891		Choice	$435	Choice Original, Medium Gray Patina, Blemish Free, Tough Late Philadelphia Stike. Late Philadelphia strikes are always in demand and locating problem free examples is challenging. Offered here is an 1879 example with mintage of only 13,600 pieces. Demand for small silver denomination coinage dropped off dramatically after 1878. As seen within Seated dime, quarter and half dollar series,there is a marked reduction in mintage starting in 1879.

Mintage is limited to 710 pieces with four graded at the PCGS PR67 level and none higher. The offered example is clearly one of the finest example extant. Watery mirror dominate when swirling this proof quarter under any light source. The obverse is covered with a highly transparent layer of gold patina while the reverse is completely untoned and radiates an incredible amount of light from pristine surfaces. GFRC images are unable to provide an adequate perspective of the quality and eye appeal of this proof quarter. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. From the eclectic Florida Collection.
	1888	VF20	PCGS 32237603		Original	$585	Original, Even Gray Patina, Rare. Late Philadelphia strikes are always in demand and locating problem free examples is challenging. Offered here is the 1888 date with meager mintage of 10,000 pieces. This Seated quarter is accurately graded and strictly original with uniform medium grade surfaces. About the only complaint is a well toned over line through the obverse shield and a few tiny blemishes above Liberty's head. Fresh to market and housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder.

An underrated date in the Liberty Seated quarter series that is always popular. 1891 New Orleans strikes were limited to 68,000 while the mint was so busy strike Seated dime and Morgan dollars. Survival rates in choice condition are anemic. This VG8 graded example is strictly original with nothing but honest wear. Obverse rims are sharp while there is some slight reverse rim wear at A(MERICA). If not for this rim weakness, this piece would have graded VG10. Blemishes are to a minimum with only two tiny reverse ticks mentioned for complete accurately. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. A better date from the West Texas Collection for your circulated Seated quarter date and mint mark set.

In hand, this quarter presents a combination of mottled rose, gray and blues across the obverse and reverse. The images well illustrate the in hand appearance. Placing this coin under bright light bright allows the full cartwheel luster to accentuate the attractive coloring. NGC grading is accurate as I would expect stronger in hand luster for a higher grade. Housed in new NGC holder and worthy of consideration.
