$530 		New October 18! No Drapery Type, Choice Original Surfaces, Natural Gray Patina, Hammered Strike, Conservative Grading. A top quality No Drapery example with strictly original surfaces and natural gray patina. Attributing this example proved to be difficult since the obverse date punch and reverse mintmark placement are consistent with WB-10 as defined in Bill Bugert's Federal Register on Liberty Seated half dollars. The WB-10 die pairing should be with a late die state reverse which is cracked. In the case of the offered example, both obverse and reverse are very well struck with no die erosion. Could this be an earlier marriage of the same die pair? PCGS No Drapery designation on the 2013 generation holder label is accurate as the drapery is polished away. Strike is hammered and surfaces are blemish free. In summary, a quality example that will please the selective collector.

The 1839 F-106 die pairing captures proof strikes until a circulated example was discovered during 2015.

This die alignment was considered to be an important diagnostic for proof strikes until Gerry Fortin discovered a VF35 example with same reverse die rotation. Was this specimen a proof strike that escaped into circulation or yet another business strike variation for the die pairing? Listed in the 1839 F-106 web-book page to document the discovery and fact that proof and circulation strikes are known with 12 degree left reverse rotation.

Choice $1100 New October 6! Rare Date and Under Appreciated, Choice Original, Gray Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Accurately Graded, White Pine Collection. For some unknown reason, to me, the 1891 New Olreans just does not secure the respect it deserves in circulated grades. Mintage is only 68,000 pieces as the New Olreans mint was focused on strike Morgan dollars followed by Seated dimes. Seated quarters must have been an after throught. Since the New Olreans mint started small denomination strikes during 1891, those pieces were saved by local collectors. As a result, most of the choice surviving examples are found at the mint state level. Checking CAC population report revealed that 43 of the 53 pieces approval are in in mint state grades. That is 81% of the population. In circulated one does not see this date. This Fine 12 example is the only one approved at the grade level. Housed in 2013 transitional PCGS holder with blue label and standard insert. CAC approval is definitely warranted due to the lovely eye appeal, original surfaces and accurate grading.

Surfaces are so crusty original with brown-gray patina and some ebony highlights mostly at right obverse rim. Strike is considered complete for the No Drapery design due to pervasive weakness. All stars have connected centrils and all reverse devices are deeply impressed. If one wishes to be exact, there is just a touch of weakness at the top of Liberty's head.

This a special GFRC offering when considering the overall quality and rarity. Let's start with rarity; this is the only example at combined MS62/MS63 grades with CAC approval. Think about that for a moment as this specimen is close to gem original at the assigned MS62 grade. Surfaces offer vibrant frosty cartwheel luster under a light source; both obverse and reverse have same frosty luster. Obverse is toned a light rose-gold while the reverse has hints of faint gold. Strike is absolutely hammered without a single point of weakness. At the MS62 grade level, one expects marks or a lack of luster to be grade limiting. I don't see a single blemish that would justify the MS62 grade level. So this leaves luster as the issue, right? Well the luster is bold and crisp. Conclusion is that PCGS grading is conservative and CAC agreed with Green Bean approval. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Don't take my word on rarity.

As reference, a choice example in EF45 would be about $800-$900 retail price.

Choice $2250 New September 29! Important No Drapery Type, Choice Original, Residual Luster, Conservative Grading.. Keeping 1839 No Drapery halves in stock is challenging due to popularity. Collectors require a No Drapery example for Seated coinage type sets coupled with traditional date and mintmark sets. When choice examples appear, they typically don't last long if fairly priced. GFRC is proud to offer this choice example that is conservatively graded. Residual luster is readily evident throughout the fields that are covered with a semi transparent layer of light gray patina. Viewing under a light source brings out more crisp golden luster around the stars and main devices. Strike is typical for the date with stars 4 through 7 being weak. Both obverse and reverse are blemish free. I like this specimen and will be sending to CAC on next shipment if not immediatey sold. Originality and conservative grading should garner attention and a chance for green bean. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

 Choice $2600 New September 28! Key Philadelphia Date, Choice Original, Fully Struck, Conservative Grading, Woodbridge Collection. The appearance of 1851 dated Liberty Seated halves on any dealer price list is an important event. All Liberty Seated dated halves dated from 1850 through 1852 were subject to silver bullion arbitrage and being melted in large quantities.

For example, PCGS population report indicates 29 pieces graded in all VF graded and 40 specimens at EF40 and EF45 combined. Was overseas transport and melting the core reason for the very low survival rates? GFRC is pleased to offer this example that is accurately graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Obverse is choice with medium gray patina and mild circulated cameo appearance. The reverse is similar with same toning other than the area containing eagle's legs, claws and arrows.

I could not pass up adding this frosty original example to the GFRC price list due to the swirling cartwheel luster and just a hint of gold toning.

This surviving example is well preserve and acquired a darker in hand viewed gray-gold patina over the years. The fun starts when tilting ever so slightly under a light source. The obverse glows with bright gold shades surrounding the stars and moving inward to the rose center....so pretty and pleasing. Reverse is similar with yellow gold at the legend that quickly transitions to sky blue on the eagle. GFRC images are ineffective in capturing the reflective coloring so please believe my description.

About 20% have been designated as Cameo based on the PCGS population report. Within the non Cameo population are excellent values and this Missouri Collection offering qualifies for that recognition. Mirrors are very reflective and toned light rose on both obverse and reverse. There is no question as to the originality. Eye appeal is that of a higher grade but obverse field imperfections limit to PF63, though conservative. 10x loupe inspection revealed a lint mark by star 4 and a few wispy hairlines while the right field has a mild divot as made. Reverse is blemish free. A quality Liberty Seated quarter offering from the Missouri Collection that is fairly priced for the overall eye appeal.

This is a superior Liberty Seated quarter proof at the PR64CAM grade level as fields offer watery texture and flashy reflections. Stunning might be the operative word! GFRC images simply cannot do this piece justice due to straight on lighting and imaging that only capture the gray and gold coloring. Tilting this piece, ever so slightly under bright light, releases bold mirrors. Reverse has a lovely dark blue toning arc from eagle's left wing up to the scroll. There is one lint mark below eagle and olive branch stem to mention. A gorgeous Liberty Seated proof quarter offering from the Missouri Collection that is fairly priced.
