While at the Pittsburgh ANA, Dan White would head off and survey the substantial bourse floor for potential inventory additions. He returned, at one point, with this gorgeous 1873 proof 3 cent silver and a smile on his face. I can understand the smile after laying eyes on this exquisitely preserved gem. Under a light source, the field are sharply mirrored and highly reflective. The luster amplifies beautiful ring toning. Let's tart with the obverse that has a sea-green center that is surrounded by peripheral yellow and copper-gold.

I'm calling a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for this wonderful Osprey Collection find. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.

Let's start the description for this 1899 proof Barber dime with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Yet another release from a Texas bank box that has been off the market for several decades. A GFRC-Gem quality rating has been assigned as the watery mirrors are pristine and completely hairline free which is atypical given today's inflated grading standards. Under a bright light, the reflective radiance is bold and pleasing. The GFRC images leave a bit to be desired in terms of illustrating the overall eye appeal. This lot has been submitted to CAC but failed to sticker. It is certainly a borderline example and will please the new owner. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder.

	Seated 25C	1881	PF64CAM	NGC 6455478002		Gem	$1850	Gem Original, JUST BUY IT NOW. Courtesy of yet another new consignor, GFRC is pleased to be offering a pair of proof Liberty Seated quarters that are freshly graded with sequential serial numbers and CAC approval. Both this 1881 (975 mintage and the 1879 (1,100 mintage) are well above average in terms of preservation and mirrored reflectance. JUST BUY IT NOW recommendations are issued for both with the hope that the lot is purchased as a pair. The 1881 proof quarter is a true joy under bright light as the mirrored reflectance is substantial with considerable cartwheel effects. Orange -gold hues is prevalent on the obverse with a thin copper region at the lower right that is evident in the images. A uniform yellow-gold film coats the reverse and is fully transparent to the watery fields and brilliant radiance. There is one tiny contact mark between the leg and stars 1 and 2 that will be seen during bright light inspection and is more than fairly captured by the certified grade. One has to search with a 10x to locate any micro hairlines. The NGC grade is conservative with CAC agreeing. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

Of course, 1892 Philadelphia strikes are typically employed as type coins in all three Barber series. If needing a differentiated quarter for type, then this offering should garner close scrutiny. To make the point, I'm calling a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as the partially mirrored fields are exemplary under a bright light. Fields are smooth and pristine. Overall strikes is deeply impressed with some of the most high relief reverse details seen in recent memory. This lot has been hiding in the GFRC inventory boxes and has not been to CAC.

	Washington 25C	1961	PR66	PCGS 83527261		Gem	$325	Intensely Toned, Exceptionally Rainbowed Reverse, Incredible for Type . I've got to start this description with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as I've blown away by the coloration when placed under a bright light. GFRC images just begin to scratch the surface and cannot illustrate the intensely rainbowed reverse. Mirrors have a watery texture and are a fitting backdrop to a host of colors that shift in and out when modulating the coin. The obverse hosts violet, pink, rose and blue shades while the reverse exhibits bullseye rainbow toning that is quite transparent. Forget the guide books as this piece is in a class of its own and warrants a strong premium. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

The 1818 O-108 die pairing is easily attributed by checking the date punch. Both 8 digits have partial upper loop as if "pinched".

Fairly priced for the overall quality. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. The label captures the Overton 103 and Small Letters attributions.

	Barber 50C	1897	EF40	NGC 2098212032		Choice	$300	Gun Metal Blue-Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces, LaSalle Collection. Why should you add this choice original 1897 Barber half to a collection?

With a mintage of only 632,000, the 1897-O Barber half dollar date has earned respect for its scarcity. The Fine grades are the last "affordable level" before becoming a four figure coin in VF. I'm going with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for this well preserved and choice example from none other than the New Orleans Collection. An attractively choice survivor with a base layer of coin gray patina along with a darker gray peripheral ring on the obverse. The reverse, on the other hand, is an even medium gray.

	Gold G$2.5	1906 Liberty	MS63	PCGS 43773788		Choice	$825	Rich Honey-Gold, Frosted Luminous, Near-Gem Original, Scenic Lakeview Collection. GFRC images should well convey the attractive nature of this 1906 $2.5 gold piece. Rich honey-gold is complemented by brilliant frosted luster. Part of the bright light routine is checking cartwheel action. This piece does just fine with nicely rotating reflectance. A few micro-ticks in front of the face holds this piece back from a GFRC-Gem quality rating. Fairly priced and worthy of a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for the overall quality. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$3	1878 Princess	AU58	PCGS 46515842		Choice	$2650	Ideal for $3 Gold Type, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Honey Green-Gold Coloration, CAC Approval. 1878 Philadelphia struck $3 gold was produced to the tune of 82,304 pieces, a fairly low number by silver coinage standards but not for $3 gold. This "high" mintage leads to not date or rarity premium and perfect candidate for a U.S. gold type set. Next is the fact that this is a premium example that warrants a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Frosty luster is thoroughly eye catching as are the smooth green-gold fields. The kind CAC staff agreed and awarded this piece a green bean. I'm tight on this coin so please consider my profit as a finder's fee. This one is 100% guaranteed to please. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$10	1893-CC Liberty	AU55	NGC 6487826001		Choice	$11500	Final Year Carson City Issue, Frosted Luster, Near Pristine Surfaces, Osprey Collection. As the final Carson City issue in the series, the 1893-CC ten is highly sought-after in all grades. The small 14,000 piece mintage ensures overall scarcity for surviving examples. CAC has approved 55 in all grades with roughly half being at the AU55/AU58 levels. In terms of 20th century coinage populations, there are few green bean stickered 1893-CC $10 gold to satisfy collector demand. The Osprey Collection is back with a really sweet example that is a pleasure to post to the GFRC price list. Abrasions are always an issue for larger gold pieces and the first attribute checked during a 10x review. This lot presents essentially unabraded surfaces that are a joy to examine. Also note is orange mint frost at the date, the denomination/mintmark, and the upper reverse that validates the strict originality. Overall coloration is a honey gold with hints of green-gold under a bright light. The consistent strike further enhances the charm. I'm going with a JUSY BUY IT NOW recommendation as Osprey has set an offer price below the $121,100 CAC price guide number. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
