Choice Original, Newtown Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Apart from the 1878-S and the virtually unobtainable 1853-O No Arrows, this is the key date in the Seated half series. Mirrored fields and sharp reflective luster present steel-blue surfaces to full effect. The obverse strike is sharp with distinct star points while the reverse is a touch soft beneath the shield. The curved line at the top of the right wing is on the holder, as is the line from S to the top of the eagle's head. The marks within the reverse shield are as struck, the result of a clash with the obverse die. The highest piece certified by CAC is AU53, and the bar to make a "top pop" coin at CAC tends to be extraordinarily high. PCGS has certified a single example at AU55 (this coin), one piece at AU58 and five coins in Mint State. The PCGS price guide value is $65,000. The eye appeal of the present coin is strong, and the rarity is undeniable - truly a prize for the Seated half or Carson City collector. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder. Ex. Seal Beach Collection (GFRC, April 2020), at $55,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder. PCGS #6328.

Key Date, Substantially Prooflike, Near-Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - The "Beaver" has dug deep into his bank box as we continue to market and sell his Liberty Seated half dollar collection. GFRC is proud to be offering his 1874 Carson City half that is accurately graded and provides first class eye appeal for a series key date. The small mintage of 59,000 pieces was accomplished by three die pairs, with this WB-1 die marriage being the rarest of the group. This is an unquestionably choice specimen with partially proof like fields and a bold central strike. Dappled tan-brown and golden toning decorates each side. Slight weakness at some of the star centers and Liberty's upper hair curls is nicely balanced by a deeply impressed reverse eagle with well-defined claws. With a 10x, several well hidden micro lines in the right obverse field are noted. PCGS population is three at the certified grade with only three finer. I can't overstate this "Beaver" opportunity for those building an advanced Liberty Seated half dollar collection. Last sold by Heritage during June 2021. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.

A GFRC-Gem rating is awarded for the mirrored fields that "light up" under a bright with sharp reflectance. The darker bluish green-gray patina, as shown in the images, immediate melts and exposes sky blue center with hints of gold at the borders. Strike is 100% complete. a few faint contact marks on the lower shield and gown are noted for accuracy and toned over. Housed in new CACG holder and graded to strict standards employed for CAC stickering approval. A popular Sooner Collection Seated series and offering.
