New July 12! Choice Original, Ex. Tennesse Dollar Collection Auction Sale. All Seated dollars are challenging pieces, though Bowers notes that the 1847 issue was frequently present in the 1960s Treasury releases. Such pieces were apt to be circulated, unlike the millions of Morgan dollars that had remained in Treasury vaults since the time of issue. Still, PCGS today has certified less than a thousand examples of the 1847 Seated dollar in all grades combined. This piece exhibits moderate, reflective luster that reveals pastel-shaded centers with deeper patina at the rims. A mélange of navy, russet, and spattered gray toning fill the peripheral areas. OC-2, with horizontal die lines in the northwest corner of the reverse shield. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2021) 35th Anniversary green label holder, with Gold Shield.

Mintage is documented at 96,000 units with few saved from California gold mining town commerce. Nearly the entire mintage was placed into circulation and remained there until well worn or lost. This survivor is noteworthy for its limited wear and residual frosted luster under a bright light. Device are bold and well defined for the issue. Light gray toning covers both sides with enhanced ebony on the central reverse. Examining the PCGS population report, this date thins out quickly at the VF35 to EF45 level with few finer.

Choice $1600 New July 12! Very Scarce in All Grades, Natural Coin Gray, Choice Surfaces, Lasalle Collection. 1867 San Francisco quarter strikes are scarce in all grades and become rare in VF or better. Mintage was limited to 48,000 pieces using a leftover reverse die of 1866-S. As a result, reverse strikes tend to be weak for the issue, though obverse strikes are not much better. This LaSalle Collection example exhibits moderate wear with a natural coin gray patina. Darker gray shades outline the reverse motifs. Surfaces have a few scattered micro marks that are certain consistent with the grade level. A potential addition to a date and mintmark set collection that is a more than satisfactory representative of the date. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

Choice $1950 New July 11! Scarce Grade, Choice Original, Deep Gray Patination, LaSalle Collection. The 1867 quarter sits amid a run of low-mintage Philadelphia dates, struck during a period when hard money was scarce and paper substitutes filled the void. Only 20,000 pieces were struck in this year, and, like the 1866 quarter, business strikes are more desirable than proofs. Fortunately, these are easily distinguished, with circulation pieces exhibiting weakness in the obverse shield ribbon. That is clearly the case here, with several letters of LIBERTY indistinct. This piece reveals deep coin gray patination on both sides with embedded golden hues seen under a bright light. Under the toning, steely fields are revealed. Regardless of time during post-Civil War commerce, this piece is essentially unabraded with a typical strike. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

New July 9! Choice Original, Ebony-Blue and Golden Patina, Lasalle Collection. The Coinage Act of 1853 reduced the weight of the quarter, enough to notice when handling raw coins by hand. Production ramped up quickly, and the Mint paid little attention to quality. As a result, striking variance is large, and one could easily form a set of 1854-O quarters displaying many die varieties with varying strike characteristics. This example is close to the top, with pinpoint detail in the stars and perfectly separated claw joints in the eagle.

The U.S. mint had produced substantial quantities of subsidiary coinage from 1875 through 1877 that large volumes were not longer warranted.

The 1854-O Huge-O quarter has at times been subject to speculation, but following the dispersal of a hoard (c. 2000), prices and demand are now consistent with the market. This example walked up to the GFRC table at Summer Baltimore and was promptly added to inventory. Regardless of the moderate wear the surfaces are well preserved with coin gray toning complimented with golden hues at the peripheries. The strike is typical, as is usual for the issue, with flat stars and incomplete feather detail beneath the reverse shield. A worthy example of a rare issue, with the all-important huge-O boldly detailed on the reverse. The engraver's clumsy attempt to clarify the mintmark caused weakness in QUAR. DOL. that is plainly evident here, and the strongly visible nature of this screw-up (the engraver's boss probably used stronger language) has made this coin a favorite of collectors for generations.

Gem $2850 New June 16! Superb Eye Appeal, Brilliant Reflectance, Undisturbed Mirrors, Conservative Grading. GFRC Price Reduction - Welcome to the world of CACG conservative grading as illustrated by this GFRC-Gem rated 1873 PF64 3 cent silver. There is no question about the superb eye appeal as brilliant reflective radiance is intense as it is spectacular. Obverse mirrors are a bit "watery" with waves of center rose and surrounding blues. Peripheral reverse toning is a darker blue and copper gold that transitions to rose and yellow gold under a bright light. This piece is hairline free with a touch of micro chatter on the upper obverse that corresponds to the certified grade. However, the eye appeal is that of at least one higher grade. The is the first proof 3 cent silver to be holdered by CACG. Housed in new CAC Grading (2023) holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.

O-103b
Choice $2600 New June 16! Punctuated Date, Late Die State O-103b, Unquestionably Original, CACG Holder. GFRC Price Reduction - I continue to be impressed by the meticulously strict CACG grading standards as showcased by this 1817 O-103b Punctuated half dollar. The originality is beyond question with just a touch of surface "crud" as evidence. The undisturbed fields are steely coin gray with gold and aquamarine shades at the borders. The edge strike is substantial with sharp elevated star points but also with weak hair curls. Residual reflectance, under a bright light, is considerable. The punctuated date features a die dot between the 1 and 7 digits. During this later die state, the dot becomes faint but still viewable with a 10x. Housed in new CAC Grading holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.

Gem $4750 New June 16! AMERICAI Die Variety, Natural Coin Gray, Gem at Grade. GFRC Price Reduction - The popular 1800 "AMERICAI" variety consists of a die defect that appears as the letter "I" immediately following the legend AMERICA on the reverse. The AMERICAI die flaw is considered a major variety in the Bust Dollar series, as it is visible to the naked eye. Two obverse dies are paired with this reverse die and listed as BB-191 and BB-192. GFRC is pleased to be offering a superbly preserved specimen that is housed in a CAC Grading holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards. Images were captured from cellphone rather than traditional GFRC Nikon Coolpix 995 photography and accurately illustrated the gem condition at the VF30 certified grade. Unabraded steely surfaces are noted under a bright light. The obverse strike is complete on the left with start points along with a well defined reverse. This Draped Bust dollar is on of the nicest handled by GFRC with just the right amount of light crust. Immediately available.

Choice $1950 New June 16! Type 2 Indian Princess, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Honey Green-Gold Coloration, Heavy Die Clashing. GFRC Price Reduction - 1855 saw the Type 2 Indian Princess hub design employed for a full year prior to the conversion to the final Type 3 design in 1856. Gold type collectors are always challenged with locating a Type 2 due to its brief issuance during the latter part of 1854 and throughout 1855. This accurately graded MS62 example offers brilliant frosted luster under a bright light along with honey green-gold coloration. Both sides are heavily clashed from well worn and cracked dies. The obverse has die cracks at the tops of ST(ATES) while the reverse has haloed devices and a bold die crack from left to the rim. One well hidden obverse contact mark is consistent with the certified grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

Choice $4600 New June 16! Scarce Philadelphia Date, Small CAC Population, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Coloration. GFRC Price Reduction. There are many surprises among the $20 Liberty double eagle gold dates. 1877 Philadelphia strikes might be considered to be a sleeper with CAC approval. From a mintage of 397,650, CAC has approved only 54 pieces in all grades. A scarce date that is heads and shoulders above the so-called common dates of that era. Premiums jump dramatically at the MS62 level with only two pieces at the full choice level. This premium example featured well balance eye appeal including brilliant frosted luster and vibrant cartwheels. Coloration is a uniform honey-gold.

Choice $4200 New June 16! Tiny Mintage, Well Preserved, Light Wear, Choice Surfaces, Island Lake Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - Outside of the 1854 and 1878 Philadelphia issues, the $3 Indian Princess gold series is quite challenging due to a host of lower mintage dates. Take for example the 1882 date with a mintage of 1,500. CAC has approved 36 in all grades with the majority being AU58 and better since this date barely circulated. The Island Collection is releasing a lightly circulated EF45 survivor with amazingly unabraded surfaces for the time in circulation. It is almost a miracle to view the obverse hair curl wear surrounded by pristine fields. The reverse offers a similar presentation. Steely luster remains and is sharp at the borders when viewed with angled lighting. The CAC guide is $4,100 with only two approved at this offered grade followed by four in AU55 with a premium that jumps to $5,750. Let's wrap up this description with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for the astute collector. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval.

Gem $3100 New June 16! Scarce in Full Gem, Mirrored Fields, Gorgeous Toning, First Class Eye Appeal. GFRC Price Reduction - For those not intimate with the Morgan dollar series, the 8 Tail Feather variant was a hub die error as eagles do not have 8 tail feathers. Only 3/4 of a million were struck with the date being scarce in full gem. This Summer Baltimore new purchase certainly qualifies as a notable gem given the mirrored fields, sharp reflective luster, and gorgeous toning. The bright light visuals are eye catching including swirling cartwheels. If in the market for a truly special first year Morgan strike, please give this gem toner special attention.

GFRC Price Reduction - The old ANACS white holders continue to contain some pleasant surprises in the Fortin bank box. The time has come to release an unlisted 1883 dime with a partial lower loop on the 3 digit. The interaction between the steely-frosted surfaces and the aquamarine rose-gray toning leads to noteworthy eye appeal. Strike is nearly complete with just a touch of weakness at the top of the head and within the upper reverse wheat grains that are always problematic. A lovely Seated dime in a long ago ANACS old white holder.
