 Gem $1250 New October 8! Mirrored Gem, Exceptional Eye Appeal, JUST BUY IT NOW, Ex. Sooner Collection. Wow, wow, wow! If you've desired owning a proof Capped Bust half dime for an advanced collection, this 1835 LM LM-8.2 offering is the next best option. Both sides are heavily mirrored with intense reflectance during angled lighting inspection. The colorful in-hand toning is largely transparent to the underlying luster. Strike is fully executed including the diagnostic reverse die cracks for the LM-8.2 die state. A few well hidden field lines account for the certified grade but eye appeal is off the charts. A JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation should be a foregone conclusion. Back on the price list with the Sooner Collection pedigree. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval.

R3 		Choice $875 New October 8! Better Die Marriage, Rose-Green Obverse, Accurately Graded, Choice Overall. The 1835 LM-7 die pairing is a scarce die marriage with a late die obverse that is on its fourth pairing. As a result, the obverse devices are soft due to die erosion along with heavy die clashing. The Logan-McCloskey reference indicates an R3 rarity rating with high grade examples difficult to obtain. This newly arrived lot is fully choice with blended rose-gold and greens throughout the obverse while the fully struck reverse exhibits golden shades. The lighter toned reverse exhibits frosted luster. Surfaces are unblemished and pleasing. To this point, GFRC has handled a single LM-7 example in lower EF45 grade.

On the other hand, the F-102 die pairing, during an early die state presents the boldest devices for the date. This example is fully choice with creamy frosted luster and light gold patination throughout. The strike is complete as is typical for the date. A few scattered wispy hairlines, under a 10X and bright light are noted, which might preclude a CAC green bean. Regardless, I've going with a choice quality rating as the in hand vowing is top notch.

 Gem $1450 New October 8! Date Repunched North, Colorful Steely Relfectance, Gem Original, Sooner Collection. The vigorously conservative CACG grading is readily evident as I add two newly released Sooner Collection Seated halves to the price list. A group of crossed out premium old white holder ANACS halves were sent out to CACG for certification expecting a 5/5 hit rate. Instead, the two that did certify, did so at lower grades. I'm taken aback with how conservative CACG has become. This 1856-O WB-14 is an unquestionable gem at the certified, and belongs in a higher grade holder. Superb eye appeal is noted under a bright light due to animated steely reflectance and colorful aquamarine-blue, rose and gold toning on both sides. Repunching below the final date digits is noted along with essentially unabraded surfaces. In hand viewing is recommended to appreciate the beauty. Housed in new CACG holder and graded to strict standards employed for CAC stickering approval.

A GFRC-Gem rating is awarded for the mirrored fields that "light up" under a bright with sharp reflectance. The darker bluish green-gray patina, as shown in the images, immediate melts and exposes sky blue center with hints of gold at the borders. Strike is 100% complete. a few faint contact marks on the lower shield and gown are noted for accuracy and toned over.

 Choice $4150 New October 8! Very Rare Large O, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Strictly Original. GFRC is excited to be offering this very rare 1839-O V-1 example struck with the Large O reverse of 1840. Few examples are documented and listed as R5 rarity in the Cummings online reference at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_o5viK3j9ao797Jc0aN8_h8J-N8W6_-D/view. His reference presents a roster of known specimens with this lot unlisted and easily being a top 5 specimen. Pricing records are minimal leading to a challenge with setting an offer price. GFRC has sold an PCGS AU53 CAC example for $12,000 as the highest priced record. An AU Details example, the Al Blythe plate coin, has sold twice for $4,313 and $,3000. Next in the roster is an original ANACS EF40 that has sold for $6,500 and $4,773. No VF sales records are reported by Cummings. My offer number captures this example's circulated cameo eye appeal that should immediately cement its status in the condition census. Surfaces are well preserved with natural coin gray patination and without contact marks. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. Please note that our consignor has not submitted this lot to CAC. The originality is all there for approval, the question mark is how conservative is the grading, a second and parallel criteria.

 Gem $8750 New October 7! Exceptional Eye Appeal, Steely-Frosted Luster, Gem Original. Regardless of its 160,000 reported mintage, the 1851 Philadelphia issue is much scarcer than expected with the 1851 through 1853 silver arbitrage being a probable explanation. Briggs states that "Nice AU and UNC coins are rare and have a semi-pale frosted look. GFRC is proud to be offering this exceptionally toned example with steely-frosted radiance that amplifies light orange-gold and aquamarine patination that "floats" on the surfaces. A hammered strike allows for minute die anomalies to be readily inspected with a 10x. Of note are several rust pits on the neck and left-facing arm. Fields are undisturbed with a single tiny contact mark above the left wing edge. Yes, I'm being overly criterial here as this piece is a color and luster play that belongs in the most advanced collectors under construction. The CAC census stands at 33 approved with a single finer in full gem. The current CAC price guide at $6,750 is a conservative estimate given only five total are approved in MInt State.

 Choice $4850 New October 7! Brilliant Frosted Luster, Near-Gem Original, CAC Approved. If wishing to add some "spice" in a type set, this near-gem 1854-O quarter should be considered. Additionally, those that enjoy blast white frosted luster should be equally interested. Equally important is a hammered strike with die lines in the reverse being easily noted and designates the variety is Briggs 1-C. Faint and wispy hairlines in the right field preclude a full GFRC-Gem quality rating. The CAC approved lot is one of 33 approved, a small number considering a mintage of 1,484,000.

The lightly mottled rose-gray patina provides little contrast for the GFRC camera resulting in darker flat looking images.

This is quite a lot of enjoyment at the MS63 level given the full strike for the new II/II design hubs. Both sides feature natural coin gray with embedded gold that surfaces under a bright light along with steely luster and nice cartwheels. The GFRC images just don't this offering justice as the darker reverse toning, at the top border, is much lighter in hand. My image processing matrix will enhance darker shades. There is rim cudding on the upper right obverse too. The CAC guide lists $1050 as fair market value. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

 Gem $11000 New October 4! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Satiny luster flows from brilliant centers, leading toward attractive rim toning with blue-green and russet patina evident in the stars and legend. The eye appeal is undeniable, and it is hard to imagine a more aesthetically pleasing piece for the grade. The strike is exceptional, with complete detail throughout. WB-7, with a reverse die lump between W and E. The 1870 half is a somewhat scarcer issue in the series, with less than a million pieces struck, but in this case the visual “pop” is the controlling factor, and the next owner will be justifiably proud. CAC has certified 32 pieces, with two coins in MS65 and none finer. PCGS has approved only one higher example, at MS67. The CAC guide value is $10,500. This coin is not inexpensive, but the combination of condition census placement and superb in-hand appeal is hard to beat. Ex. Heritage (August 2023, lot 3595), realized $12,000.

 Choice $46500 New October 4! Choice Original, Newtown Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Apart from the 1878-S and the virtually unobtainable 1853-O No Arrows, this is the key date in the Seated half series. Mirrored fields and sharp reflective luster present steel-blue surfaces to full effect. The obverse strike is sharp with distinct star points while the reverse is a touch soft beneath the shield. The curved line at the top of the right wing is on the holder, as is the line from S to the top of the eagle's head. The marks within the reverse shield are as struck, the result of a clash with the obverse die. The highest piece certified by CAC is AU53, and the bar to make a "top pop" coin at CAC tends to be extraordinarily high. PCGS has certified a single example at AU55 (this coin), one piece at AU58 and five coins in Mint State. The PCGS price guide value is $65,000. The eye appeal of the present coin is strong, and the rarity is undeniable - truly a prize for the Seated half or Carson City collector. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder. Ex.

Luster is consistent with the grade and readily rotates through the medium skin. This piece sold at a premium to the guide value in the 2018, and a quick inspection under a glass quickly justifies the “push” necessary to acquire a premium quality example.

The strike is complete, with strong details on both sides. WB-6, with the date punched noticeably to the right. Collecting is always a matter of taste – some numismatists prefer colorful silver coins while others are fanatics about strong strikes. The visual “pop” of the present offering will especially appeal to those for whom luster is the primary attribute of interest. CAC has certified 30 coins in all grades, two pieces in MS65, and two example finer, both in MS66. The CAC price guide is $8,250, advancing to $12,000 in MS66. Ex.

A golden obverse skin hosts blue-green and russet shades while the reverse exhibits rings of violet and blue, leading to gold rims. The obverse represents the very definition of "skin," which has the appearance of a foil that one might peel back. Apart from a few light marks in the right obverse field, the surfaces are near-perfect. WB-1, with the 1 in the date centered over three dentils, while the mintmark is small and wide. A strong strike completely defines the stars. PCGS reports three examples in MS65 with a single MS66+ piece finer. CAC notes 20 pieces total, two coins at MS65 (including this) and two examples at MS66. The CAC price guide value is $17,300. While collectors may alternately be drawn toward either Mint State or proof formats, this colorful, flashy piece is a reminder that business strikes can come with highly prooflike finish. Ex.

Consignor Price Reduction - Reflective luster emerges from the medium skin, highlighting the maroon and gold patina at the rims. The strike is complete, with sharp star centers and distinct claw knuckles. WB-8, with errant digits in the dentils, and a large, level mintmark. The Carson City Mint struck both No Arrows and With Arrows types in this year, and although the No Arrows pieces are a bit scarcer, both issues were struck in low quantities. PCGS notes 228 pieces total, 2 coins at MS63, and five examples finer. The PCGS price guide value in MS63 is $20,000. Mint State examples are not often encountered, and PCGS Coin Facts indicates a “market velocity” of approximately two appearances of Mint State coins per year. The appeal of the CC mintmark is strong, and such examples are highly prized by collectors. Ex. GFRC (February 2019), at $17,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

$27500 		New October 4! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Medium crust reveals pleasing blue green patina at the rims and within the protected areas. The deepest color resides as the rims, while the fields are lighter. Ample luster is consistent with the assigned grade, and the overall eye appeal is exceptional. Most of the star centers are evident, while a couple claw joints to the left blend together. The Mint added arrows to the subsidiary silver denominations in 1873 and 1874 to indicate a weight change to a metric standard, in this case an even 12.50 grams vs. the 12.44-gram standard previously in place. The two-year With Arrows type is widely pursued by type coin collectors, adding additional pressure to an issue already pursued by date and mintmark collectors. The present coin would easily fit in a world-class type set, bested by only the fewest of examples. CAC notes 69 coins in all grades, four examples in MS66, and two pieces higher, both at MS67. PCGS reflects similarly challenging data, with eight examples at MS66, one coin in MS67, and the MS67+ Hansen collection piece. The CAC guide value is $26,400, while PCGS indicates a value of $42,500. Ex. GFRC (August 2023), at $37,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6346.

 Choice $35000 New October 4! Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Along with the 1870-CC and 1878-CC, the 1874-CC is one of the keys to Carson City half dollar set. Few pieces survived from the small mintage of 59,000 pieces and today examples in all grades are highly prized. This piece exhibits even, medium gray toning, with hints of gold, russet, and blue more evident as the coin is tilted under a light. Moderate cartwheel radiates from both sides, a touch more actively on the reverse. WB-3, with a die lump below the curl and a diagonal die line through (STAT)ES. The mintmark is small with close spacing and slopes upward. Well struck with star centers evident and typical softness in the left claws. CAC has approved 47 coins total, a single piece in MS63 (the present coin), two examples at MS64, and a single coin at MS65. PCGS reports three higher pieces in MS64, one coin in MS65 and one example in MS66. The CAC price guide value is $37,400 while PCGS is a tick higher at $37,500. The significance of this offering is hard to overstate, as Carson City pieces are among the most desirable issues in the Seated series. This piece combines the all-important CC mintmark with key date status and a strong technical grade. As if that were not enough, CAC endorses this example as premium for the grade. The new owner of this special coin will be exceptionally pleased. Ex. GFRC (August 2021), at $35,000, previously from the Milford Collection (Heritage 1/2011, lot 5565), realized $26,450.

Consignor Price Reduction - The half dollar run from 1879-1890 forms a series of low production issues, with the highest mintage, 12,001 pieces, occurring in 1888. While many examples were saved at the time of release, the low mintage figures are hard to resist, and these remain popular with collectors today. For those contemplating building such a set, the present sale offers several possibilities, and buyers will do well to consider the various offerings. This 1879 example reveals marbled luster that highlights varied shades of maroon, grey, and tan patina. Stars are sharply impressed, while some of the details in the eagle’s left leg blends together.

The Philadelphia Mint produced just 4,400 pieces in this year, the lowest total within the 1879-1890 run, tied with the 1884 issue.

Original $3000 New October 3! Reeded Edge "50 Cents" Design Key Date, Grey-Gold Patina, Near-Choice Surfaces, Newtown Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - 1836 brought a transition year for the U.S. Mint. Branch mints were authorized in 1835 leading to much planning and construction coordination. Steam pressed were introduced and Christian Gobrecht became the Second Engraver after Kneass suffered a stroke. The half dollar design was modified for better strikings with the new steam press equipment. Only 5,000 Reeded halves dated 1836 were struck due to problems with the steam press installation and first strikings taking place in November of that year. The Newtown Collection is releasing his 1836 RE example for your consideration. Steely fields are minimally abraded while the overall coloration is a medium gray with embedded gold. Strike is typical for the date with several partial stars in the right field. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) holder. The backside of the holder has two areas with missing plastic stacking guides.

 Gem $45000 New October 3! Condition Census, Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Production of silver coinage began falling in 1850, as increasing supplies of gold caused an imbalance in the valuation of silver. Congress corrected the problem only with the Coinage Act of 1853, leaving the Mint to coin a decreasing supply of silver bullion in the intervening years. This low-mintage piece exhibits liberal copper and aqua patina, and the overall eye appeal merits the GFRC Gem designation. Ample luster imparts slight reflectivity to the surfaces. Stars are sharp, while the left claws remain separated, if faintly so. WB-4, with a tine to the upper left of 1. CAC has approved 28 coins total, with a single coin in MS65 (the present coin) and only one piece finer, at MS67.

CAC has certified two pieces in MS64 and five finer examples. The CAC price guide value is $2,750. The PCGS price guide weighs in at $3,000, but the more controlling point is the complete lack of recent sales, with PCGS Coin Facts listing no sales since 2013.

 Gem $2200 New October 1! Brilliant Frosted Luster, Bold Strike, Peripheral Gold, Accurately Graded. 1845 brought a substantial increase in Liberty Seated dime production after the anemic 72,500 pieces struck in 1844.

The infrequently seen F-105a die state captures crossing reverse die cracks at STAT(E)S as is the case with this lovely gem survivor. Brilliant frosted luster is consistent on both sides along with peripheral gold. Strike is well executed for the date with only a touch of weakness on the lower right stars. Die scratches can be seen to the left of the base of the pole with 10x as the strike is powerfully detailed. Accurately grade and housed in new large font NGC holder.

 Original $1175 New October 1! Challenging New Orleans Date at Grade, Light Golden Surfaces, Indiana Collection. As the Civil War raged across the eastern American continent, the San Francisco mint was attempting to keep small denomination silver coinage flowing into local commerce. 230,000 dated 1864 dimes were struck with all but a few exceptions going into circulation. This date is particularly challenging in certified AU or better as most survivors have issues. The Indiana Collection is releasing a long held duplicate after purchasing the Massachusetts Collection specimen at auction. This example is one of six at the PCGS AU50 grade and is housed in a PCGS Gen 3.1 (1998-2002) old green holder. Both sides are fully struck with light wear on the high points. A faint gold "skin" is layered over creamy grayish-white surfaces. Under a bright light, residual frosted luster is noted.
