ParadimeCoins Presents Two-Part CAC Collection

ParadimeCoins Unveils Two-Part CAC-Focused Release Featuring Undervalued Seated Quarters and Classic Head $2.5 and $5 Gold in the Ohio Collection 

ParadimeCoins is pleased to announce a curated, two-part offering of premium-quality, CAC-approved U.S. coins drawn from early silver and classic gold, with Part I scheduled to go live January 19 and Part II following on February 23. 

Together, the release comprises 38 certified coins, 100% CAC or CACG approved, selected with a disciplined emphasis on originality, eye appeal, and relative market value. The centerpiece is a deep roster of Liberty Seated quarters—18 examples, all CAC/CACG—chosen specifically for natural toning, surface integrity, and visual depth, alongside a tightly focused group of Classic Head gold quarter eagles and half eagles—15 coins total—highlighted for satiny luster, strong strike, and preserved mint character. 

The Seated quarter component spans early Philadelphia and branch-mint issues, including No Drapery and later With Motto types, many housed in OGH and CACG holders. These coins were selected for layered, original toning profiles that reward close inspection while remaining conservative and market-appropriate—an area ParadimeCoins believes continues to be undervalued relative to quality and scarcity within CAC-approved material. 

Complementing the silver is a standout selection of Classic Head gold $2.50 and $5 issues, including early dates, overdates, and high-end Mint State survivors. Across both denominations, the focus is on luster and surface preservation rather than numerical grade alone, underscoring the firm’s belief that classic gold is best judged by in-hand vibrancy, texture, and overall balance. Notable highlights include early quarter eagles from 1802/1 through the mid-1830s and half eagles ranging from early die varieties to later Plain 4 issues, each vetted for originality and CAC-confirmed quality. 

Rounding out the offering are select dimes and proof copper issues, including late-19th-century $5 gold proof in 64 CAM and a Superb Gem Barber dime, all CAC, providing additional depth for advanced collectors assembling cohesive, quality-driven sets. 

Some highlights include: 

Liberty Seated and Early Silver — Toning, Originality, and Relative Value 

The Seated quarter segment is deliberately weighted toward coins that combine natural toning, undisturbed surfaces, and CAC confirmation, an area ParadimeCoins views as persistently undervalued relative to long-term collector demand. 

The 1844 25C MS63 PCGS CAC, 1834 25C MS65 PCGS CAC, and 1828 25C MS64 PCGS CAC represent early Philadelphia Mint issues with strong technical quality and layered toning that enhances, rather than obscures, the design. Each displays intact mint texture beneath color, reinforcing their originality. 

Branch-mint scarcity is addressed through coins such as the 1856-S 25C MS63 PCGS CAC, 1859-O 25C MS63+ PCGS CAC, 1842-O Large Date MS61, and 1843-O 25C MS64, all of which exhibit honest circulation histories combined with eye-appealing peripheral and field toning. These issues remain especially compelling within CAC holders due to limited surviving Mint State populations. 

Earlier and more specialized Seated issues include the 1839 No Drapery, Reverse of 1839 MS63, a type-level rarity in Mint State, and the 1840 25C MS63 OGH PCGS Gold CAC, notable both for its early holder and for the quality threshold implied by a Gold CAC endorsement. Later Philadelphia issues such as the 1845 25C MS64+, 1833 25C MS64+ PCGS CAC, 1841 25C MS62 CAC and MS63 PCGS CAC, 1852 25C MS62 PCGS CAC, 1843 25C MS64 CACG, 1844 25C MS63 NGC OGH CAC, 1851 25C MS64 NGC OGH CAC, and 1867 25C AU50 round out a group that consistently emphasizes toned originality over mere brilliance. 

Classic Head Gold — Luster, Surface Quality, and CAC Discipline 

The Classic Head gold portion of the release focuses exclusively on quarter eagles and half eagles with preserved luster and undisturbed surfaces, avoiding washed-out or overdipped examples even when technically high grade. 

Quarter eagles include early and challenging issues such as the 1804 $2.50 14 Stars Reverse AU53 PCGS CAC, notable for its bold remaining luster within a lightly circulated context, and the 1802/1 $2.50 MS63 PCGS CAC, a major overdate rarity with exceptional surface quality for the type and the key center piece to the collection. Mid-1830s representatives such as the 1832 $2.50 MS62 PCGS CAC, 1834 $2.50 Classic MS63 PCGS CAC, 1836 $2.50 Script 8 MS62 CACG, 1836 $2.50 Script 8 MS61 PCGS CAC, 1836 $2.50 Block 8 MS61 PCGS CAC, and 1837 $2.50 MS62 CACG collectively illustrate how surviving Classic Head quarter eagles can retain satiny mint frost when originality is preserved. 

The half eagle segment is equally deliberate, beginning with early examples like the 1803/2 $5 MS61 NGC OGH CAC, an important overdate housed in an early holder, and extending through a strong run of 1830s issues. These include the 1834 $5 Classic Head Plain 4 AU55 CACG, 1834 $5 Classic Head Plain 4 MS62 PCGS CAC, 1834 $5 Classic Head Plain 4 MS63 CACG, 1837 $5 MS64+ PCGS CAC, 1838 $5 MS63 PCGS CAC, and 1835 $5 MS64 PCGS CAC, each selected for visible luster flow and cohesive color rather than grade alone. 

Anchoring the gold offering is the 1894 $5 Proof 64 Cameo PCGS CAC, ex-Bareford, a landmark late-date proof with deep mirrors and cameo contrast that stands apart stylistically while maintaining the release’s CAC-only standard. 

Across the gold component, 15 of 15 Classic Head quarter eagles and half eagles are CAC or CACG approved, reinforcing the release’s central theme: luster-driven quality, confirmed originality, and conservative grading discipline. 

This two-part release—Part I launching January 19 and Part II following February 23—presents a cohesive opportunity for collectors focused on quality-first acquisitions. With 100% CAC inclusion, a pronounced emphasis on toned Liberty Seated quarters, and lustrous Classic Head gold in both $2.50 and $5 denominations, the offering highlights areas where ParadimeCoins believes value and long-term collector demand remain meaningfully aligned. 

In an increasingly selective market, this group underscores a simple thesis: original surfaces, natural toning, and preserved luster—when confirmed by CAC—continue to represent some of the most compelling opportunities in classic U.S. coinage today. 

Founder of ParadimeCoins, Shannon Rajkitkul states “This release is intentionally split to allow collectors time to study and pursue coins that are still priced rationally for what they represent,” “The collector has quietly accumalated well over $600,000 worth of coin between these 38 coins not only for their value but for the value they represent in their undervalued nature.” 

Part I launches January 19 at 12 PM EST and Part II follows February 23 at 12 PM EST, with full photography, detailed numismatic commentary, and fixed pricing available at ParadimeCoins.com on each release date.
