Capped Bust
	1834	AU50	NGC 2656719003	B-5	Original	$1200	New November 20! R5 1834 Die Pairing, Steely Fields, Bold Strike. GFRC is pleased to be offering not one, but two 1834 B-5 examples for consideration. The B-5 die pairing is the rarest of the five per the Browning research with an assigned R5 rarity rating. As significant as the rarity is, this example is a nicely original example with steely fields under the brownish-gray patination. The overall strike is nearly complete with only two stars in the lower right field lacking center points. This offering is ideal for those assembling a collection of rare die varieties across the early silver coinage spectrum. GFRC has only handled two examples since inception with the Sales Archive providing access to sale prices. Housed in new large font NGC holder with the B-5 die variety designation on the label.
	1834	EF45	PCGS 34922142	B-5	Choice	$850	New November 20! Rarest 1834 Die Pairting, Steely Luster, Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces. The second of two 1834 B-5 Capped Bust quarters that were taken in trade at the 2025 Winter Whitman Baltimore show. Again, the B-5 die pairing is the rarest of the five die marriages with Browning assigning an R5 rarity rating. A fully choice specimen with both sides covered with crusty gray patination. Surfaces are essentially pristine with heavy die clashing "bars" behind the ear. Accurately graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder without a label attribution. Up until the recent Baltimore show, GFRC had only handled two examples since inception with the Sales Archive providing access to sales records. Please note that GFRC images have over emphasized the reddish hues on the obverse.
	1835	VF35	PCGS 03999853	B-4	Choice	$395	New November 20! B-4 Late Die State, Crusty Coin Gray, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Choice Original. Collectors interested in terminal die states should take note of this 1835 B-4 offering found in a near termination die state. A large arcing obverse die crack connects the lower right rim to the left side at star 3. This arcing die crack is listed as Die State 4 in Steve Tompkins reference on Capped Bust quarters. A fairly grade example with honest wear and light gray coloring. Circulated cameo eye appeal is undeniable. Surfaces are surprisingly unabraded for the amount of time in commercial exchange. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
