"Condition Census", a term credited to Dr. William Sheldon, arrives at a coin value through listing the top five survivors in sequential order. The 1872 Carson City issue is the most frequently encountered within the 1871-CC though 1874-CC date span. However, choice survivors are very rare without a single Mint State specimen with CAC green bean.

	Seated	1873-S	MS64	PCGS 07447774	F-101	Gem	$4850	Small Thin S, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. For several decades, I could not make a decision on whether I liked the F-101 or F-102 PCGS MS64 CAC dimes better, in my reference collection, to the point of releasing one back into the marketplace. The F-101, as offered today, presents lovely frosted surfaces and swirling cartwheels that are accentuated under a bright light. The F-102 specimen is darker with partially mirrored fields and has won the 1873-S spot in the core set. Back to the F-101 then. This die pairing is found in early and late die states with the primary die state diagnostic being die erosion. This lot is a late die state specimen with obvious erosion under the date digits and weak reverse wreath devices. Regardless of the die erosion, the luster is entirely brilliant as one would expect from a gem survivor. This lot was purchased January 2006 and later CAC approved during 2014 and has served at the F-101 plate coin withing The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. Total date CAC approved population presently stands at 25 pieces with 6 at the MS64 level and only 3 finer. The PCGS and CAC guides are understated for this date given the rarity. My cost basis for this lot is $100 less than the offer price while paying $5500 for the remaining F-102 in the core collection. This is an important opportunity for the astute collector. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1874-CC With Arrows	EF45	PCGS 50089237	F-101	Gem	HOLD $58000	New May 8! Key Date, Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Collection.. All 1874-CC dimes have a die crack through the mintmark as the prime diagnostic. On this example, the die crack continues through the right wreath and exits to the rim at 2:00. Undoubtedly, the key date in the Liberty Seated Dime series with 10,817 struck. A rarity when considering few strictly original survivors are extant. Nearly all are problematic with porosity or restoration efforts. The Fortin specimen exhibits light to moderate olive golden-gray patination with an ancient mark above DIM(E) being the only anomaly. Of vital importance is the unquestionable originality presenting a multi-decade opportunity for the astute numismatist. F-101 from a single die pair and the plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collector online reference. CAC has approved 16 coins in all grades with five finer.

After careful research of all CoinFacts auctions records dating back to 2005, this F-101 Micro S dime is the finest known for its variety. Recent sales of MS66/MS66+ examples via Gardner, Bender, and others have been exclusively the F-102 Small S with a weakly hubbed reverse or the F-102a with late die state die erosion.

	Seated	1867	EF40	PCGS 25661827	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$1985	Low Mintage Philadelphia Issue, Natural Crusty Gray Patina, Meager CAC Population. The 1867 quarter sits amid a run of low-mintage Philadelphia dates, struck during a period when hard money was scarce and paper substitutes filled the void. Only 20,000 pieces were struck in this year, and, like the 1866 quarter, business strikes are more desirable than proofs. Fortunately, the business strikes are easily distinguished due to weakness in the obverse shield ribbon. That is clearly the case here, with several letters of LIBERTY indistinct. This piece reveals natural crusty gray patina on both sides. Regardless of time during post-Civil War commerce, this piece is essentially unabraded with "dirt" noted in the obverse shield and surrounding the stars and reverse denomination. Strike is sharp for the issue. The CAC census reports 24 pieces approved in all grades with 4 graded by CACG. The CAC price guide is $2000 as the offered grade.

This is an ideal selection for a type collector seeking additional rarity beyond common date status. CAC has certified 33 coins in all grades, a lower total among Seated halves, with four pieces in MS64 and four examples finer. The PCGS price guide is $5,100. Ex.

WB-1, with the date sloping down and a large mintmark. CAC has approved but 28 coins in all grades, a lower total among Seated half dollars, four pieces in MS64, and no examples finer. PCGS notes nine coins at MS64 and no pieces higher. The CAC price guide value is $7,900. Ex. Heritage (January 2018, lot 3720), at $6,000 – a prescient purchase on the part of the consignor, who was able to acquire this top-pop PCGS/CAC example at an attractive price. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6291.
	Seated	1858	MS65	PCGS 12615672		Gem	$5250	New March 30! Gem Original, Newtown Collection, Ex. Gardner.. Swirling ebon and gold patina fills the fields of this Philadelphia piece, while protected areas of the obverse reveal an outline of steel-gray color. Gem luster is somewhat subdued at first glance but is easily evident under a light. Strike is typical, with stars 4-8 soft. CAC notes 126 coins in all grades, nine pieces at MS65, and two examples finer, both at MS66. The CAC price guide assigns a value of $5,200 in MS65, a reasonable level for a coin removed from top-pop status by only a single point. Ex. Heritage (May 2022, lot 3518), at $5,040, previously from Gardner IV (Heritage, October 2015), lot 98671, where it realized $4,230. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6293.
	Seated	1858-O	MS64	PCGS 36167037	WB-14	Choice	$3250	New March 30! Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Frosty luster highlights the even gold and olive patina evident on both sides. A few of the protected areas reveal lighter silver-steel color, and the overall eye appeal is excellent. Strike is typical, with weakness in the eagle’s left leg. WB-14, with the date sloping upward and the mintmark tilted to the left. Production in this year was ample, and Bill Bugert identifies 41 die marriages for the issue. Despite the production level, exceeding seven million pieces, CAC has certified only 115 coins total, three examples in MS64, and six pieces finer. The CAC price guide indicates a value of $3,600 in MS64. Ex. Heritage (November 2018, lot 3689), at $2,640. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6294.
	Seated	1860-O	MS65+	PCGS 43203571	WB-5	Gem	$8000	New March 30! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Generous frost highlights the olive-gold patina evident in the stars and legend. The obverse exhibits more intense color while the reverse toning is largely confined to the protected areas. A complete strike fully impresses the star points and eagle claws. WB-5, with a crack to the right of star 8, and a large mintmark tilted to the right. This is the Type II hub, with a long base of L in HALF. CAC notes 75 pieces total, five coins in MS65, and three examples in MS66. The CAC price guide is $6,750 in MS65 and rises to $25,900 in MS66, while PCGS quotes $7,000 in MS65, $8,500 in MS65+, and $22,500 in MS66. Ex. Rare Coin Wholesalers. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6300.
	Seated	1860-S	MS64	PCGS 47451989	WB-1	Choice	$15000	New March 30! Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Frosty silver surfaces lead to attractive toning at the rims, an effective more fully appreciated with in-person inspection. The strike is exceptional, with the stars rising well above the plane of the planchet. WB-1, with a low date and large mintmark. This piece is tied for top honors at CAC and PCGS, and, given the overall eye appeal, will draw significant attention. CAC has approved but 22 coins total, two pieces in MS64, and no examples higher. The situation at PCGS is similarly challenging, with eight grading events in MS64 and none finer. The CAC price guide is $9,750, while PCGS indicates a value of $18,500. The rare coin market is not perfectly efficient, and price guides struggle to reflect the true market value of thinly traded items. As PCGS Coin Facts indicates, the “market velocity” of the 1860-S half in MS63/MS64 grades is less than one piece per year. In this case, the sale of this same coin in 2023 represents the most important data point. Ex. Regency Auction 61 (Legend, November 2023), lot 131, realized $14,687.50. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6301.
	Seated	1861 CSA Scott Restrike	MS64	PCGS 50013710		Gem	$7950	CSA Scott Restrike, Gem Original.. Consignor Pricing Reduction - One of the initially struck 500 pieces by J.W. Scott in white metal to test the reconditioned Confederate half dollar reverse die and extremely well preserved. The GFRC-Gem rated specimen is flawless with the surfaces providing an intricate view of the rusted condition of the Confederate reverse circa 1879. Under a bright light, both sides are partially mirrored with eye catching radiance. The coloration is a silver-gray. This lot belongs in an advanced numismatic cabinet as heads and shoulders above the many survivors being offered in today's market. The CAC census is currently 17 pieces with only two finer. The CDN CAC guide is $8,600 as reference. This lot is worthy of the reserve and will be a highlight of a Civil War era collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval. The label reads CSA Scott Restrike.
	Seated	1863	MS64	PCGS 13565456	WB-7	Choice	$5000	New March 30! Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. The scarcity of Seated coinage with original surfaces has long been known to specialists, but the CAC census, now in its seventeenth year, offers quantitative proof of the situation. This Civil War-dated half dollar is a typical example, with only 26 pieces reported by CAC across all grades. Even gray and olive surfaces host silver patches in the stars and legend, with additional shades of blue-gray at the rims and protected areas. Luster is frosty, with swirling cartwheels. Nicely struck, as is the rule for 1863 halves, with only a touch of softness in the eagle’s left leg. This is a better Philadelphia date, with just over half a million pieces struck. 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. The previous GFRC sale is more in line with current values. Ex. GFRC (Sunset Collection, March 2021), realized $5,275. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6309.
	Seated	1867-S	EF45	CACG 66868467	WB-8	Choice	$550	Stone Cold Original, Natural Coin Gray Patina, Saw Mill Run Collection. A later die state WB-8 example with natural coin gray toning and well preserved surfaces. Conservative abounds with this Saw Mill Run Collection offering. The reverse die is well worn at this point with eroded mintmark and obvious die cracks from AMERIC(A) to the arrow heads. Housed in new CACG holder and graded to strict standards employed for CAC stickering approval. A no-brainer purchase for fans of strict originality.
	Seated	1868-S	MS64+	PCGS 34815113	WB-8	Choice	$7000	New March 30! Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Silver-gray centers lead toward subtle rose and gold patina at the rims, which exhibit scattered crust on both sides. Frosty luster is ample for the grade, and a light source immediately activates the near-Gem flash. WB-8, with recut stars to the left and a small mintmark. This is an early die state without advanced die cracks. Stars to the left are soft, while the reverse detail is excellent throughout. CAC has approved 29 examples, with three coins in MS64 and a single piece finer, at MS65. PCGS notes two coins in MS65 and one example finer at MS66. The CAC price guide indicates a value of $6,600 in MS64 and $15,100 in MS65. Ex. Heritage (October 2018, lot 3055), at $5,040. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6324.
	Seated	1869	MS64	PCGS 15386454	WB-1	Choice	$5500	New May 18! Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Frosty surfaces reveal traces of smoky patina at the rims of this example, but the first impression is that of a lustrous, untoned piece. A strong strike delivers textured stars and near complete detail in the feathers and claws. WB-1, with a low date. The 9 is centered above two dentils. Western silver discoveries had not yet reached the Philadelphia Mint, and production remained under a million pieces in this year, elevating this issue beyond a “type coin” pricing profile. This example further claims near-finest known status at CAC, which notes 47 pieces total, five coins in MS64, and two examples higher. The CAC price guide is $4,500. Ex. Boylston (Legend, Regency Auction 57, February 2023), lot 189, realized $5,405. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6325.
	Seated	1870	MS65+	PCGS 50205117	WB-7	Gem	$12500	New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. 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. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6327.
	Seated	1871-S	MS64	PCGS 36683754	WB-8	Gem	$4250	New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. This is an exceptionally original piece, and the overall appeal is not fully conveyed by the images. Smoky gray and olive patina fills the protected areas, while the silver fields reveal hair-line free, antique surfaces. 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. WB-8, with a centered date and small, wide mintmark slightly tilted to the right. CAC notes 51 coins total, with a single piece in MS64 (the present offering) and four examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $2,850. Ex. GFRC (December 2018), at $4,400. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6332.
	Seated	1872	MS65+	PCGS 81108530	WB-6	Gem	$9500	New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Blazing surfaces reveal hints of maroon color at the rim, and the overall flash of this GFRC rated-Gem example is considerable. Fully brilliant fields exhibit only a few ticks, consistent with the grade. Abundant luster is frosty, with some reflectivity evident as the coin is tilted. 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. Boylston (Legend, Regency Auction 44, April 2021), lot 57, realized $9,106.25. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6333.
	Seated	1872-S	MS65	PCGS 81939446	WB-1	Gem	$20000	New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. This wildly reflective half is a multi-colored headlight and reveals a full spectrum of color atop the prooflike surfaces. 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. Branch Mint Collection (GFRC, July 2021), at $21,105. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6335.
	Seated	1874 With Arrows	MS66	PCGS 4943398	-	Gem	$34000	New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. 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.
	Seated	1874 With Arrows	MS64	NGC 3603430010		Choice	$3650	With Arrows, Choice Original.. A near-gem Seated half dollar lot which is ideal for an advanced collection of the series or for type. Copper-rose patina overlays the obverse while bluish-gold appears on the reverse. This 1874 half is so close to fully struck with only the left facing eagle claw not being completely raised. Uniform frosted luster is activated with angled lighting. A stray ancient line between stars 11 and 12 is seen with 10x. CAC has approved seven at grade with eight finer. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
	Seated	1874-CC	MS63	PCGS 25399807	WB-3	Choice	$37500	New May 18! Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. 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. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6347.
	Seated	1875-CC	MS64	PCGS 29969962	WB-4	Choice	$7500	Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Medium skin blankets both sides of this Carson City issue, and the originality is strong. Protected areas retain lighter color, around the stars, date, and legend, while the fields are crustier. WB-4, with a low date and medium CC punched high. Strike is typical, with softness beneath the eagle. Although production was just over a million pieces, collector demand for anything “CC”-related is strong, and the CAC certification only increases the desirability of this present piece. CAC has approved 71 pieces in all grades, 11 coins in MS64, and four examples higher, all in MS65. The CAC price guide value is $6,300. Ex. Rare Coin Wholesalers. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6350.
	Seated	1875-S	MS66+	PCGS 36073607	WB-11	Gem	$7500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Radiant luster flows easily from the surfaces of this GFRC-rated Gem, with cartwheels readily activated by even moderate light. Smoky grey and russet patina covers the fields, with deeper shades evident at the rims , while centers retain original silver color. The strike is near complete, with claw joints separated if faintly so. WB-11, with the date punched to the right and a small mintmark tilting right. CAC has certified 66 coins total, with ten pieces in MS66 and two examples finer, both in MS67. The CAC guide value is $6,000, a reasonable level, given only the pair of MS67 coins besting the present example. Ex. Great Collections (March 2020), at $5,625. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6351.
	Seated	1876-S	MS66	PCGS 09181398	-	Gem	$8000	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Abundant, frosty luster radiates from the surfaces of this GFRC-rated Gem example, with hints of rose and gold color at the rims. The near-finest known status is easily reinforced by the overall flash, which is substantial. Slight reflectivity is evident as the coin is tilted under a light. A hammered strike sharply defines the stars, while the feather and claw details are easily distinct. In this cataloguer’s opinion, strike becomes more of a controlling factor as the technical grade is elevated, as any weakness in the strike becomes amplified by strong luster and the absence of surface marks. This coin is all there, in terms of luster, strike, and virtually smooth fields. CAC notes 45 examples total, with three pieces in MS66 and only a single coin finer at MS66+. The CAC guide value is $9.750. Ex. Heritage (July 2022, lot 3107), realized $7,800. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6354.
	Seated	1877	MS66+	PCGS 82248342		Gem	$6700	New April 24! Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Booming, frosty luster flows from the glass-smooth surfaces of this GFRC-rated Gem example. Centers are untoned and lead toward russet patina that intensifies at the rims. This is the preferred “look” of many collectors, as the brilliant silver color in the central devices contrasts with evolving shades in the fields. The toning scheme on both sides is virtually identical, a characteristic associated with originally preserved pieces. Star centers are well defined, while most of the claws exhibit separation if faintly so. The CAC census includes 75 pieces total, with only three coins finer, all in MS67. PCGS counts but four pieces at the MS67 level, reinforcing the rarity of this issue in the highest grades. The CAC price guide value is $7,500, while PCGS quotes $8,000. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1877	MS66+	PCGS 16134761	-	Gem	$7250	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Flashy, ice-white frost blankets the central devices, leading toward concentrated mauve and blue-green patina at the rims. Stars and claws are sharp while some detail beneath the eagle is weak, which is due to polished dies rather than a soft strike. An oft-repeated technical point, which is applicable here, is that the lowest point on the coin is the highest point on the die. A couple bag marks are evident at the left shoulder, but the first and best impression is the ample luster. CAC records 87 coins total, 14 examples in MS66, and three pieces finer, all in MS67. The CAC price guide value is $7,500, advancing to $12,000 in MS67. Ex. Heritage (July 2022, lot 3737), realized $6,120, an informed purchase given the advanced placement in the condition census. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6355.
	Seated	1877-S	MS66+	PCGS 36782849	WB-32	Gem	$6750	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. The Newtown consignor consistently hits the sweet spot in the value profile, with exceptional pieces that are near finest known examples, but at a fraction of the price. CAC has certified 130 coins in all grades, including eight examples in MS66, one piece in MS66+, and a single example finer, in MS67. The CAC price guide value is $4,750 in MS66, rising to $11,000 in MS67 (CAC does not price plus grades). The MS67 coin is in the D. L. Hansen collection and not likely to appear anytime soon, leaving a handful of pieces in the MS66 grades. This coin exhibits original, medium skin, with mixed russet and silver color in the centers and scattered charcoal patina in the stars and legend. Frosty luster is consistent with the technical grade. WB-31, with a diagonal die line through W(E). This is the Type II reverse, with closed bud. Well struck, with most of the claw detail evident. Ex. Great Collections (March 2020), at $6,750. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6357.
	Seated	1878	MS66+	PCGS 81874149	-	Gem	$14500	New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Blazing luster flows from the surfaces of this frosty Philadelphia piece. The visual “pop” is exceptional, and the piece attracts the eye quickly, even when displayed among a group of high-grade examples. Brilliant fields reveal a swath of maroon-russet color at stars 10-13, with the reverse marked by tan and aqua patina about the legend. The obverse is hammered, while the reverse exhibits characteristic softness at the eagle’s left leg. The left side of the first 8 is weak, matching the “wimpy 8” obverse depicted in Wiley & Bugert’s 1993 reference, The Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars. CAC notes 40 pieces total, with four examples in MS65, two coins in MS66, and single piece finer in MS67. The CAC price guide value is $18,000. Ex. Heritage (June 2020, lot 3073), realized $11,100. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6358.
	Seated	1879	MS66	PCGS 29250361		Gem	$6000	New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. 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. CAC notes 87 coins across all grades, 16 pieces in MS66, and 14 examples finer, all at MS67. The CAC price guide value is $5,800. Ex. Heritage (August 2022, lot 4528), at $5,040. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6361.
	Seated	1884	MS66	PCGS 25041307		Gem	$7500	New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Frosty obverse luster pairs with more reflective flash on the reverse, and one can imagine the coiner lightly polishing the reverse die just prior to striking this piece. The obverse reveals greenish-olive patina framed by intense russet color at the stars, while the reverse exhibits more uniform evergreen shade throughout. The head is completely detailed, while the area beneath the reverse shield is somewhat soft. The Philadelphia Mint coined just 4,400 pieces in this year, a quantity tied with the 1882 issue as the lowest production total during the 1879-1890 low mintage run. CAC has approved 48 pieces total, seven coins in MS66, and eight examples finer. The CAC guide value is $7,500. Ex. Oregon Beaver Collection (GFRC, March 2022), at $8,500. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6366.
	Seated	1885	MS66+	PCGS 37581583		Gem	$12500	New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection, Ex. D.L. Hansen. Medium skin reveals gray-rose color in the fields with more intense blue and gold patina at the rims. Frosty luster is generous, as expected for the technical grade, and a light quickly activates the cartwheels. Stars are sharp, while characteristic softness is evident beneath the reverse shield. CAC notes 31 coins total, two pieces in MS66, and two examples higher, both in MS67. The CAC guide value is $9,000 in MS66, rising to $13,000 in MS67. Purchased from GFRC (January 2023), at $13,000, previously from the D. L. Hansen Collection. Not surprisingly, D. L. Hansen retained a finer coin, a PCGS MS67+ piece with CAC approval. The flip side is that with the Hansen coin off the market for the foreseeable future, the availability of the best coins becomes even thinner. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. The holder features a special D.L. Hansen Collection label with a reverse bar code. PCGS #6367.
	Seated	1885	MS65	PCGS 41344564		Gem	$5750	Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. This is a piece that has to be seen in-hand to fully appreciate the deeply original surfaces and swirling cartwheels.

The Dahlonega and San Francisco issues are brutally difficult to locate while the Charlotte is not far behind in rarity. This leaves the New Orleans issue as being available for branch mint collectors. Though the mintage is only 153,000, the date is seen with some frequency.

The premium nature is unquestionable with well preserved surfaces that are every so lightly worn. Coloration is a traditional honey green-gold. The CAC price guide is $925 as reference.

The 1880 $2.5 gold issue is yet another lower mintage later date that continues to be underrated in the current marketplace. With a mintage of 2,960, this date is scarce in all grades. I was compelled to reward this exceptional example with a GFRC-Gem quality tating. Maybe I am enchanted by the mirrored fields that exhibit sharp reflectance under a bright light. Also compelling is the complete strike and unabraded surfaces with light rub consistent with the certified grade. Coloration falls into the honey yellow-gold realm.

This 1888 Philadelphia issue is an example with only 2,960 struck. The date is naturally scarce overall due to mintage though, in MInt State, the issue is available. Survivors with completely unmolested surfaces are always in demand. Offering here is a GFRC-Gem rated example with hammered strike and with deeply impressed device details.

Outside of the 1854 and 1878 Philadelphia issues, the $3 Indian Princess gold series is quite challenging due to a host of lower mintage dates. Take for example the 1882 date with a mintage of 1,500.

PCGS has not certified a single gem specimen, therefore MS64 and MS64+ graded examples are as good as it gets. GFRC is pleased to be offering one of the MS64 certified survivors that also has CAC approval. An infrequently seen rose-gold coloring is consistent on both sides. Bright light inspection is a joy given the brilliant frosted luster that explodes off the surfaces. Strike is 100% complete and rounds out the checklist for a designating this offering a near-gem.

Another San Francisco $5 gold date that sports a reasonable mintage but is rare in choice Mint State.
