A crusty original gray example of the 1860-O WB-3 die variety with uniquely hubbed reverse die. The vertical stripes appear to be hand engraved rather than hubbing from a working hub die.

1954130001
Original $1500 New August 11! Original Surfaces, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Accurately Graded, Washington State Collection. The 1878-S $20 double date is scarce in MS62 and becomes a rarity in MS63 or better. Noted United States gold expert, David Akers, had this to say about the 1878-S date, "In average uncirculated condition, the 1878-S is very scarce and in choice or gem mint state it is decidedly rare. In my opinion, this issue, as well as the 1879-S, 1880-S, 1881-S, and 1882-S, are all very underrated in uncirculated condition." This NGC MS61 example, is therefore at the knee of the condition/pricing curve and an excellent value at a few hundred dollars above spot. This example offers frosty cartwheel luster and orange gold coloring on both sides. The assigned grade is a function of obverse field abrasions but with no major hits or marks. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. A nice Liberty $20 piece that has been sitting in a bank box for over a decade in the Washington State Collection.

Surfaces are covered with thick crusty gun metal gray-blue patina that also contains embedded violet hues. A careful 10x loupe inspection revealed no blemishes whatsoever.

Housed in ANACS old white holder as purchased by the consignor. From the Bayside Collection and the latest GFRC customer turned consignor. In hand inspection is recommended given the darker toned surfaces.

Originally sold at the November 2013 Heritage auction of the Eric P Newman collection as Lot 34500 and certified NGC AU55 CAC. The thick original toning on this 1842 half dollar is typical of silver pieces within the Eric Newman collection due to storage in old paper envelopes for decades. This piece shows gorgeous blue-gray toning with gold highlights and a few very small shallow circulation marks, none of which detract from the coin's wonderful appearance.

Strike is nearly complete with the only weakness being at the lower left claws. Surfaces are blemish free with light rub. Typical Grey Soldier Collection quality. Housed in new large font NGC holder.

The original toning on this 1846 half dollar is typical of many silver pieces within the Eric P. Newman collection. Patina is crusty gray from being stored in old paper envelopes for decades. This example is choice with no blemishes whatsoever and a hammered strike. All obverse star centrils are connected and the facial and hair details are well defined; same is true for eagle feathers and claws. Under bright light, the crusty patina is mildly transparent and exposes residual luster and gun metal gray/blue coloring. Housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder. This piece original sold at the November 2013 Heritage sale of Newman numismatic properties and was offered in NGC AU58 CAC holder. Subsequently, the buyer crossed the half to PCGS at AU55 level with another round through CAC for approval. A value at asking price. Another solid offering from the Tenafly Collection that needs to locate a new home.

R4 		Original $1800 New August 10! Challenging New Orleans Tall Date Variety, Original Light Gray, Typical Strike, Cracked Reverse, Tenafly Collection. Ex. Pleez B. Seated Collection. 1846 brought the usage of two different date punches for Seated halves. New Orleans mintage of that year was substantial at 2,304,000 pieces with the Tall Date variety being much scarcer. In AU grades, this die variety is a recognized rarity with the EF45 grade level being the last affordable price point for most collectors. This strictly original example has been part of the Pleez B. Seated and Tenafly collections and is back to GFRC for another appearance. In both cases, this half was part of a set divestment and not a duplicate from an upgrade. Again, upgrading this date to AU level will take substantial time and patience. A quality example with light gray surfaces coupled with peripheral gold provide for pleasing eye appeal. Strike is typical with all stars well formed but several lacking connected centrils. Lower eagle details, on the reverse, are also a tad weak. There are no blemishes to discuss after a 10x loupe inspection. The WB-22 die variety is easily identified by cracked reverse die. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder and on many want lists. Another quality offering from the Tenafly Collection.

This example, from the Tenafly Collection, should be at the top of the list is pursuing a mid circulated grade specimen. Surfaces are pristine and covered with uniform gun metal gray toning. Strike is well executed with only star 8 lacking centrils. Obverse and reverse dies are clashed. The obverse has a cool arcing die crack through the lower shield. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval. GFRC previously sold this lovely Seated half into the Tenafly Collection and then to current consignor as it makes a third appearance. A no brainer purchase in my mind as so nice at the VF35 graded level.

Speared Olive Bud reverse, CSA Issue. The last die pairing struck under authority of the Confederate States of America. This die variety is easily attributed due to two parallel lines through the upper olive bud. This reverse was first paired with the Bisecting Crack at Date reverse and then afterwards with Obverse 1; first employed for Union strikes. Die erosion at Liberty's foot is evident for the variety and on the offered example. This Under Construction Collection example offers steely surfaces covered with classic gun metal gray patina on the obverse and lighter silver gray shades on the reverse. Strike typical on the obverse, since late state Union obverse, and full on the reverse. This piece performs well under a light source with plenty of residual luster.

An important piece of Civil War history as struck during the final days of the New Orleans mint during April 1861.

 Cleaned $150 New July 27! Scarce High Grade Example, Ex 1992 Hungary Hoard, Light Gray, Old Clean, Massachusetts Collection. It is amazing how coins move in familiar circles. This AU 1868 F-102 dime was part of the Hungary Hoard that appeared on the market during 1992. This piece was purchased from the hoard as part of a full roll from Jason Carter (Heritage). The large 1868 dime quantity was purchased towards die variety research for the upcoming "web-book" entitled The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Die Variety Collectors that was eventually published during 2004. Many of the 1868 dimes, from the Hungary Hoard, were sold on eBay during 1993 after research was completed. This example was purchased by the Massachusetts Collection consignor at that time. Now it returns to GFRC 25 years later as a consignment. A no question AU specimen with light gray surfaces resulting from a long ago cleaning while in Europe. Surfaces are highly detailed and just a few stray lines on the obverse. Overall strike is hammered.

 Original $350 New July 25! Cracked Obverse, Oblique O Mintmark, Choice Original, Challenging Top 100 Variety, AuburnNY Accordian Collection. During years of conducting Liberty Seated dime die variety research, I've seen my share of 1854-O dime with the oblique O mintmark reverse. However, later die state examples with bold die cracks from rim up to left arrow and 1 digit, are much scarcer. To qualified for inclusion into a Top 100 Varieties set, these die cracks must be present and obvious. This new example, from the AuburnNY Accordian Collection definitely qualifies for a Top 100 set and then some. The die cracks have transitioned in a nice internal die cud between the left arrow and 1 digit and also on top of the 1 digit. Probably one if the latest die state examples I've seen. Surfaces are original and covered with crusty gray patina with embedded rose hues. Strike is complete and surfaces are entirely blemish free. A fair value at the asking price. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

The most notable die variety for 1879 is F-104a with bold repunching on the 18 digits in the date. This lovely superb gem example offers brilliant cartwheel luster in conjunction with iridescent toning. A vibrant rose-blue patina covers the obverse while the reverse sports satiny blues and aquamarine. Strike is completely executed.

Choice $645 New July 23! Choice Original, Transparent Gray-Gold Patina, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Hammered Strike, Accurately Graded, Seal Beach Collection. 1854 New Orleans struck Seated halves are typically found with bold heavy strikes including halo'ing of the stars. This offering falls into that category with a hammered strike and considerable mint frost in the protected areas that include gown folds, shield lines and eagle feathers. The result is a thick frosty cartwheel luster when viewed under a light source. Surrounds are covered with a dirty gray-gold skin that validates the strict originality. A careful 10x loupe inspection revealed no blemishes whatsoever and a few reverse die cracks that were difficult to match with those in the Bugert Federal Register. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

Original $8000 New July 23! A Substantial Liberty Seated Half Dollar Rarity, Original Surfaces, Thick Crusty Gray-Brown Patina, Well Struck, Accurately Graded, Seal Beach Collection. The 1873 Open 3, No Arrows Liberty Seated half is a formidable rarity. In A Guidebook of Liberty Seated Coins, Q. David Bowers writes the following concerning this rarity, "Mintage figures were estimated years ago as 587,000 Closed 3 coins and 214,200 Open 3 coins from the Philadelphia Mint before arrows were added besides the date. These figures seem to have been guesses and seem to have no validity.....With a collective total of 801,800 coins of both varieties produced from five total dies (a single set for Open 3), one might speculate that the actual Open 3 mintage is much lower and below estimated mintage. Beyond that, it is believed that many of these were melted upon institution of the new weight standard that took effect April 1, 1873, perhaps accounting for rarity and high value." This GFRC offering is covered with thick crusty gray-brown patina and is fully original. Well struck with interesting die pits throughout Liberty's upper body area. There are several ancient and completely toned over marks in the right obverse field and at the base of the pole. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and worthy of an advanced date and mintmark set. A major duplicate offering from the Seal Beach Collection. Hurry on this one as major rarities typically do not last within GFRC inventory.

$595 		New July 22! Better Date, Choice Original, Crusty Golden Gray Patina, Satiny Cartwheel Luster, Reasonable Strike, Accurately Graded, Jim Poston Consignment. At GFRC, I see many Liberty Seated quarters. Some simply move through quickly while others are memorable for the date or preservation state. This lovely 1874 San Francisco strike falls into the latter group. I don't often see the 1874-S date in AU55 which warranted a PCGS CoinFacts check; 30 pieces total in all AU grades with few auction records. As a fan of strict originality, I realy like this example. Crusty golden-gray patina covers the obverse while the reverse has lots of embedded aquamarine-blues along with incremental luster. Strike is reasonable with just a few obverse stars lacking full definition. Reverse is fully struck. Housed in a 2015 style PCGS holder. Another choice offering from Jim Poston.

Strike is hammered through with bold hair curls and high relief stars. Blemish wise, the right obverse field has a few bag marks that are fully toned over. An arcing break in mint luster, on the reverse, is also noted and seen in GFRC images. As for wear, one has to search for rub. Accurately graded and housed in a 2015 style PCGS holder.

Someone in the GFRC community should immediately grab this lovely 1856-O WB-9 Seated half. Don't let the absence of a CAC sticker deter you! Brilliant frosty cartwheel luster interacts well with copper gold and blue coloring, under a light source, and produces a most pleasing viewing experience. Stating it from a different perspective.... this Jim Poston offering has substantial eye appeal and will please the selective collector. Strike is essentially complete with deeply impressed facial details and hair curls. Unfortunately, stars 12 and 13 lack connected centrils else the term "hammered" would have been used. I really like this half and might as well issue a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. By the way, repunching above the 6 and below the 1 digit is very boldly defined for the WB-9 variety.

A gem original 1872 F-102 dime with brilliant frosty luster and huge cartwheel effects. Strike is hammered with bold device details for a With Legend dime. Unknown to most collectors is the fact that the 1872 date is a grade rarity above MS65. After 30 years plus of operation, PCGS has only grade one in MS66 and another in MS67. At the MS65 grade level, there is a population of 10. Potential buyers are invited to check CoinFacts to view the lack of 1872 MS65 auction records. Yes, there are overgraded examples in NGC holders to be had but these will not have the strike, luster and originality of this offering. Housed in old PCGS blue label holder that dates back to the late 1990s. Purchased during January 2004 FUN Show via private transaction. Held in the Gerry Fortin date and mintmark set collection until recently upgraded. My gut feel is this piece will end up in a MS66 holder once place back into the market.

 Choice $1200 New July 19! Indian No Motto Type, Choice Original, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Typical Orange-Gold Patina, Accurately Graded. If seeking a United States $10 No Motto gold piece, then your choices are limited to the 1907, 1908 and 1908-D dates. The 1907 date is unique among the three for not having seen the transition to a Motto reverse. Therefore 1907 Philadelphia strikes are the purist representive for the No Motto design type. This example is fresh to market from the Washington State Collection bank box along with other gold offerings. This example offers rich frosty luster with cartwheel effects on both sides. Typical orange-gold patina is uniform and pleasing. So why the assigned MS62 grade level? There are a few obverse field ticks to the left of Liberty's face that justify the grade on a technical basis. Overall, the eye appeal is better than MS62. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. Another quality offering from the Washington State Collection as a potential entry into a United States gold type set.

R3 		Choice $295 New July 17! Errant 8 Digits in Base, Choice Original Surfaces, Gun Metal Gray Patina, Obverse Toning Arc, Conservatively Graded, Seal Beach Collection.

Second is the cool misplaced bottom of an 8 digit in the base directly above the final 8 in the date. Strike is typical with some weakness in star centrils.

 Choice $1500 New July 17! "Quad Stripes", Double Die Obverse, Choice Original, Reflective Luster, Lightly Mirrored Fields, Accurately Graded, Seal Beach Collection. Let's start this description with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation! The 1873 With Arrows double die obverse variety is popular and commonly described at the "Quad Stripes" obverse. This obverse is listed as WB-109 by Wiley-Bugert and FS-101 and FS-1101 by NGC and PCGS attribution services. Few examples have been certified with the finest at NGC being EF45 and PCGS being AU58 and MS65. The PCGS AU58 example sold at Heritage Auction during July 2015 for $3500. Wiley-Bugert call the 1873 With Arrows variety, "the most dramatic doubled head die of the Liberty Seated half dollar series." Doubling is visible on Liberty's gown and foot, and clearly evident on the obverse shield, scroll, and LIBERTY. The obverse shield stripes are in sets of four, rather than the customary three stripes per set. This superior example, from the Seal Beach Collection of Liberty Seated half dollar die varieties, offers choice original surfaces that are covered by a crusty golden skin. Luster is reflective as the fields are lightly mirrored. Luckily, the strike is well executed which allows the die doubling on stars to be readily visible under 10x loupe. Blemish wise, I can only find a few ticks below the left base to mention. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with complete attribution on the label that reads, "Arrows DDO FS-1101 WB-109 "Quad Stripes"".
