	1847-O	MS65	PCGS 43723651	WB-2	Gem	$14750	New January 16! Condition Census, Superb Gem Original, Steely Reflectance, New Orleans Collection. Final Consignor Price Reduction - The New Orleans Collection makes a splash with the release of one of the finest 47-O half dollars extant, with just a single MS65+ graded finer at PCGS. While the mintage of 2,584,000 was sizable for the era, Mint State survivors are unfrequently encountered with any Mint State example being an important rarity in MS64 or finer. Our WB-2 example excels under a bright light with steely reflective fields that are the epitome of undisturbed viewing. The luster is uniform on both sides and a further testament of the unquestionable originality. Though the GFRC images indicate darkly toned surfaces, bright light inspection is a completely different experience with light pastel rose and sky blues dominating the luster. Reverse presentation is similar with golden hues within the legend lettering. The strike is complete and the fields are pristine. This coin has all the hallmarks of a gem and is in the condition census. Advanced Liberty Seated half dollars collectors should take note as the PCGS price guide is $22,500 as reference. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder.
	1849	MS64	PCGS 25262963	WB-11	Gem	$3650	New January 16! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Final Consignor Price Reduction! - Medium crust reveals gold and copper patina as this Philadelphia piece is examined under a bright light. Ample luster is partially reflective, and the overall eye appeal easily earns the GFRC Gem rating. WB-11, with repunching in the 1 and effaced detail at the reverse shield point. The left leg of the eagle is softly impressed. CAC has certified 53 coins overall, with 11 pieces at MS64 and a single coin finer, at MS65. The CAC price guide is $6,000, jumping to $15,100 at MS65. Ex. Washington State Collection, via GFRC, February 2022, at $5,250. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6262.
	1850	MS65+	PCGS 50073544	WB-4	Gem	$45000	Condition Census, Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Production of silver coinage began falling in 1850, as increasing supplies of gold caused an imbalance in the valuation of silver. Congress corrected the problem only with the Coinage Act of 1853, leaving the Mint to coin a decreasing supply of silver bullion in the intervening years. This low-mintage piece exhibits liberal copper and aqua patina, and the overall eye appeal merits the GFRC Gem designation. Ample luster imparts slight reflectivity to the surfaces. Stars are sharp, while the left claws remain separated, if faintly so. WB-4, with a tine to the upper left of 1. CAC has approved 28 coins total, with a single coin in MS65 (the present coin) and only one piece finer, at MS67. The CAC price guide value is $36,000 (CAC does not price plus grades), while the PCGS value at the MS65+ level is $60,000. Ex. GFRC, August 2023, at $53,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6264.
	1852	MS65	PCGS 81341524	WB-2	Gem	HOLD $16000	Gem Original, Newtown Collection Ex. Bender.. Consignor Price Reduction - Golden-tan color covers both sides of this GFRC-rated Gem example. The strike is strong, with only star 7 soft, while the reverse is hammered throughout. CAC has approved 21 coins total, including three at the MS65 level, and none higher. The situation at PCGS is nearly as challenging, with five coins at MS65, one piece in MS66, and none finer. WB-2, with underlying lines in the reverse shield. Note, obverse diagonal lines reveal heavy die polish, as struck. This is a much better date among Seated halves, with a mintage of 77,130 pieces. The CAC guide value is $18,000. This piece will not represent a casual purchase for most collectors, and the opportunity to acquire a CAC “top pop” rightly calls for careful consideration. Ex. Tom Bender Collection (Heritage Auctions, February 2023), lot 3746, at $21,600. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. The label documents the Bender Collection pedigree.

	1854-O With Arrows	MS65	PCGS 35142422		Gem	$5250	Gorgeous Steely-Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Hammered Strike. 1854 New Orleans struck Seated halves are well know for exhibiting a double strike outline or "halo" like features at the stars and date punch. This newly consigned example is so representative of the date with its brilliant frosted luster and vibrant cartwheels. The strike is absolutely hammered with every minute device detail fully struck. The mottled gray toning is much lighted in hand than on GFRC images. A thoroughly satisfying example that deserve a home in an advanced collector. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

Consignor Price Reduction! - The 1855/854 overdate is a well known die variety with the final date punch over an previously dated 1854 die. The upper left loop of the 8 digit and the crossbar of the 4 remain visible and can be cherrypicked with a 10x loupe. Most enough seen in circulated grades and very scarce in Mint State consistent with the 1855 Philadelphia issue in general. The Emerald Collection is releasing this MS62 example with bold undertype digits and a complete strike. Both sides are also heavily clashed. White frosted surfaces exhibit granular radiance. A faint amount of chatter is noted in the fields consistent with the certified grade along with a probably dip precluding a Choice quality rating. Housed in new large font NGC holder with special Pioneer Boone Family Collection label. The variety attribution is listed as 1855/854 Arrows FS-501.
	1855-O With Arrows	MS64	NGC 3603607005		Gem	$3250	New January 16! Gem Original, Partially Mirrored, Exceptional Bright Light Eye Appeal, Sooner Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction! - Perfectly original and unmolested gem silver coinage can present challenging toning patterns to the GFRC camera.
