A thick spray of copper patina blankets both sides, surrounded by nickel-silver color at the rims.

Following a spike in 1874 and 1875, Indian cent production declined again in 1876 to fewer than 8 million pieces due to reduced commerce demand. This production reduction culminated in the following year, in 1877, when fewer than 900,000 were coined. This gem example displays glowing coppery-orange luster amid faint hues of pale burgundy color. The strike is bold, and the preservation is excellent.

However, this new 1881 Proof 66RB is certainly a step in the right direction! Reflective luster explodes off the intense mirrored fields without a single visual distraction.

The 1830 Capped Bust half dime date is a monster challenge for die variety collectors given a host of R4 marriage and several at the R5 through R7 levels.

Faint granular mint bloom covers both sides resulting in brilliant frosted luster when placed under angled lighting. Cartwheels are vibrant and equally pleasing.

The second year of Liberty Seated half dime and dime production brought stars to the obverse with No Drapery type designation. This 1838 gem would certainly qualify for inclusion into an advanced type set or regular series set. Steely gray best describes the base toning color with overlaid copper-gold and aquamarine. This coloration validates the originality. Stars 2 and 9 show repunching for those wishing to check the die variety.

	Seated	1844-O	VF30	NGC 4923934025	V-2	Choice	$1250	New April 24! V-2, Small O, Medal Turn Reverse, Choice Original,. The 1844-O Seated half dime date is important primarily due to a mintage of 220,000 with an anemic number of certified survivors in all grades. This situation is amplified by CAC data with only 31 approved in all grades and only 5 at the certified grade. Not noted by the services or CAC is that a fair number of examples will be found with a medal turn reverse rotation. I don't believe this die state is rare as close to an equal number of coin and medal aligned specimens have been seen. This piece bring strict originality credentials with its antique gray surfaces and circulated cameo eye appeal. Fields have a steely texture. CAC approval on a medal turn example is just plain cool. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1846	EF45	NGC 3813006003		Choice	$5750	Choice Original, Newtown Collection. The 1846 is the well-known stopper within the half dime series, and even the finest known example comes in at MS63, while the Gardner collection included an MS62 piece. Surfaces reveal residual, steely luster, with gray and silver-colored devices surrounded by deeper shades in the protected areas. The CAC population is 40 pieces, with just four examples higher. This represents an important offering - an example of a rare issue that stands within the CAC condition census. Housed in a newer NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1848-O	MS64	NGC 20612502	V-4	Choice	$2350	Condition census V-4 Small O Example, Very Rare Grade, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Rose, Gold and Blue Patina, Hammered Strike, Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection. The V-4 Small O reverse is a well recognized die variety rarity among passionate Liberty Seated half dime collectors. Al Bylthe, in his DLRC Press guidebook, rates the V-4 as R7 rarity in mint state as few example are known. Now opportunity comes knocking with this gorgeous MS64 example that has been award CAC green bean approval. One look and you will immediately understand why. Surfaces emit ample frosty cartwheel luster. The transparent rose-gold and blue patina partial melts away under a light source. Strike is hammered on both sides with high relief stars and every vein in the wreath leaves being boldly impressed. There are no blemishes whatsoever to report.

	Seated	1856	MS64	PCGS 13806802		Choice	$550	Near Gem Original, Completely Struck, Multi-Color Iridescent Patina, Active Cartwheels, Accurately Graded. In 1856, arrows were eliminated from silver coinage as most heavier weight coins had been removed from circulation. That year, the Philadelphia Mint produced nearly 5 million half dime but fully struck examples are quite scarce. Many examples show weakness on the denticles. Regardless of the partial obverse denticles, this accurately graded example offers pretty iridescent gold and aquamarine toning along with active cartwheel luster. Other than the denticles, the balance of the coin is fully struck with rounded stars and complete wreath leaves. Surfaces are absolutely original and choice. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. An ideal example for the collector assembling a complete set of Seated half dimes at the AU/MS level. CAC approval captures the accurate grading, originality and overall eye appeal.

Let's start this description with an immediate JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as this is one of the finest 1856 half dimes I've seen while operating GFRC. This date typically comes weakly or unevenly struck with partial denticles. The Mirror Collection has released a splendid example with tons of eye appeal. Luster is brilliant and richly frosted. The obverse strike is hammered but with the usual partial or missing denticles. Delicate motifs are seen on the reverse and are a function of a shallow working die hub rather than strike weakness. Just a fantastic example that will be appreciated for years. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with fresh CAC approval.

Entirely fresh to market from a western state bank box discovery. GFRC images can only hint at the natural beauty and extensive mint bloom. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1867-S	AU58	NGC 2108329022		Choice	$835	Crusty Light Gray Patina, Better Civil War Era Date, CAC Approval. 1867 Seated half dime production amounted to 120,000 strike at the San Francisco mint. Like prior years, the mintage went into commerce and heavily circulated with choice survivors being quite scarce. CAC has approved only 17 pieces in all grades with three at the AU58 grade level. This specimen will certainly please the selective collector with its light gray crusty patina and reasonable strike. The 1 digit is boldly repunched at the base and flag. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Shield	1871	MS64	NGC Fatty 232551002		Choice	$1725	Popular Low Mintage Date, Brilliant Steely Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Worn Dies. 1871 shield nickel production was limited to only 561,000 pieces and a record low for the series at that time. This date is therefore popular and can be selectively acquired for its better date value. This CAC approved example ranks high on the eye appeal scale and the reason for adding to inventory. Both sides display bright steely luster with angled lighting. Cartwheel action is vibrant plus there are no visually distractions. Under 10x, the dies are moderately worn with reverse die cracks. CAC population at grade is only 6 with 26 finer at significantly higher premiums. Housed in NGC Gen 4 brown label holder with CAC approval.

Most survivors are certified proof with a small fraction able to achieve the Cameo status. The Sooner Collection is back with a lovely example that features sharp reflective luster and overall pleasing eye appeal. A careful 10x inspection noted a complete lack of hairlines which is consistent with the CAC approval. PCGS proof grading standards have been lowered in recent years with hairlines now found on certified PF64s. This example is strictly graded, as it should be, with faint golden toning on the right obverse. Ideal as a type coin and fairly priced for the premium quality. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. The label captures the Teich Family Collection pedigree.
	Liberty V	1905	MS65	PCGS 45449795		Gem	$550	Ideal Liberty 5c Type, Dazzling Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Fully Struck. If attempting an early type set and searching for the right Liberty nickel, this 1905 gem example might fit the bill! A superb survivor with dazzling frosted luster and swirling cartwheels. This piece certainly rocks under a bright light and is an exciting viewing experience. Faint gold toning is more prevalent on the obverse. Strike is fully executed. This offering has eye appeal of a higher grade but a small mark on the reverse explains the certified grade per technical standards. I'm so impressed with this piece that a JUST BUY IT NOW call is necessary. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.

	Buffalo	1937	PR67	PCGS 18233346		Gem	$2450	New May 7! Superb Gem Original, Island Lake Collection.. The proof Buffalo nickel is one of the most artistic U.S. type coins, and the modern U.S. Mint product simply doesn’t compete from an aesthetic view.

Today, demand for proof Buffalos remains strong, and all examples are highly prized. This piece is nearly untoned, with a touch of gold and tan color evident here and there. Deep mirrors are powerful and reflective, as expected for a Superb Gem. At the PR67 level, this coin easily falls into the upper half of all survivors. The CAC price guide value is $2,050.

	Capped Bust	1821 Small Date	VF25	PCGS 84786670	JR-10	Choice	$415	Small Date, Better Die Pairing, Uniform Rose-Gray, CAC Approval. A crusty rose-gray "skin" has acumulated on this near-gem 1821 JR-10 dime. Wear points are lightly toned and contrast against the darker gray back background.

	Capped Bust	1823/2 Large Es	VF25	PCGS 42297742	JR-3	Choice	HOLD $535	New April 26! Better Open Collar Date, Low CAC Approved Population, Steely-Gold Eye Appeal. An initial glance at this gorgeous 1823/2 dime immediately convinced me to issue a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. If in the market for early type, you might want to treat yourself to this little beauty. Firstly, the steely fields present light blue shades with any angled lighting. Second is the crusty peripheral olive-gold toning that contrasts well with the steely centers. Strike is typical for the issue while the surfaces are essentially unabraded. CAC reports only 32 Large Es with a wide distribution across all grades. Clearly a challenging date with a green bean alone. This example screams originality and has the right look. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	Capped Bust	1827	AU55	PCGS 11282147	JR-11	Choice	$985	Brilliant Frosted Luster, Faint Champagne Patina, Nice Cartwheels, CAC Approval. Capped Bust dimes in the important AU55 through AU58 grades are a compelling value given the low populations. Adding in CAC approval further strengthens that observation. Brilliant frosty luster and light champagne toning are the primary highlights of this 1827 JR-11 offering that has just been bought back from a long term client. Mint bloom surrounds a portion of the stars and reverse legend. Reverse is clashed with one stray line between the left facing wing and lower leg. If lustrous early type is your focus, this offering will make the grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Capped Bust	1835	EF40	NGC 2106462025	JR-1	Choice	$350	Mottled Rose Toning, Residual Steely Luster, Bold Strike. Placing this 1835 JR-1 dime under angled lighting exposes pretty steely luster including residual mint frost surrounding the stars and legend. Unfortunately, GFRC images only capture the in-hand rose mottled toning but not the luster. Therefore, please trust my eyes if considering a purchase. Strike is fully executed though there is wear on the high points, but then again, this is an accurately graded EF40. CAC has only approved 9 at the certified grade. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1837 No Stars, Large Date	MS66	PCGS 25337764	F-101c	Gem	$15000	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Steely luster imparts active cartwheels across the surfaces of this Large Date, No Stars piece. A moderate spray of olive and charcoal patina covers both sides, highlighted by considerable flash that is thoroughly consistent with the MS66 CAC designation. The 1837 F-101c is coin #1 on the Top-100 list and exhibits heavy die clashing with elevated obverse die cracks. While not as arresting as the 1839 F-105c "Pie," the die deterioration is advanced and easily apparent without a glass. The dies are slightly rotated as expected for all later die states of the F-101 die pair. The CAC census notes two examples in MS66, with only a pair of pieces higher, both at MS67. The guide value is $15,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

The Osprey Collection returns to the GFRC price list with a silky high grade 1838 Large Stars dime for consideration. This richly original example features blended steel-gray and champagne-pink patina on both sides. Strike is hammered with high relief stars regardless of the dies being significant eroded. Silky luster manages to radiate through a fairly thick patina. Surfaces are entirely unabraded and smooth and. The F-113 attribution points (reverse die flaw and die erosion below date) are easily seen. A well preserved candidate to represent the short lived No Drapery design in a high grade Mint State type set. Housed in newer NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1838 No Drapery, Large Stars	MS64	NGC 331520001	F-105	Gem	$2000	New May 7! Reverse Die Flaw, Gem Original, Ex. Gerry Fortin Collection.. As we continue to move "up the Gerry Fortin Collection ladder", this 1838 F-105 is begrudgingly released. An absolute gem with intense frosty luster decorated by rose-gold coloring. Cartwheels sizzle with the slightest holder rotation during bright light inspection. A hammered strike and entirely unabraded surfaces further enhance the eye appeal. This piece is the F-105 web-book plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. Sure the asking price includes a substantial premium over the guides. This offering is an incredible gem and is well worth MS65 level monies. With some crackout and upgrade efforts, this piece will eventually find its way into an MS65 holder. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1839 No Drapery	EF45	PCGS 28645438	F-105b	Choice	$6500	Pie Shaped Shattered Obverse, Vertical Crack Die State, Crusty Gray-Gold Patina, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The F-105b middle die state for the marquee 1839 Pie Shattered Obverse Die variety in F-105c terminal die state. During the F-105b middle die state, the obverse die exhibits a die crack starting at the rim and moving upward in between the 18 digits in the date and then through the right shield, Liberty's midsection, and ending at her shoulder clasp. Stars 8 is boldly repunched and Star 10 to a lesser extent. Significant radial die lines behind Liberty's lower gown are present. The 1839 Pie Shattered Obverse is only known in three distinctly different die states; early with no die crack followed by the middle die state with the vertical crack and of course, the terminal pie shaped die cracks. Originally purchased from Brian Greer during July 2000 as a raw AU and still believe this one is crusty AU. Gray-gold patina covers both sides. Conservative grading and housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 holder with edge view insert along with CAC approval. The F-105b plate coin in The Definite Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors reference guide. Probably the finest F-105b example known. From the Gerry Fortin Reference Collection.

	Seated	1840-O	AU58	NGC 451481005	F-101	Choice	$5000	Choice Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection.. The New Orleans Mint first struck Liberty Seated dimes during 1838 without stars followed by stars being added to the No Drapery hub during 1839 and 1840. The 1840 strikes have proven to be very challenging in AU or higher grades due to extensive circulation in the deep south. Those specimens that are graded AU58 and Mint State infrequently appear on the market. This F-101 specimen is a truly important release from the Gerry Fortin Reference Collection since being struck by early die state dies with a Large O reverse. Most F-101 survivors were struck with lapped dies that significantly reduced the relief of major devices. Those are designated as the F-101a die state. This F-101 example is one of the few seen during my research career therefore an R6 rarity rating is justified. Soft frosted luster and light gold patina are the primary visual attributes along with strict originality that was rewarded with a CAC green bean. Purchased July 2008 during a Bowers & Merena Baltimore sale. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1841	MS66	PCGS 25612093	F-110a	Gem	$7500	Proof Dies, Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Steely, frosted luster imparts exceptionally active cartwheels that rotate vibrantly under a light source. Light splashes of maroon patina cover both sides atop the steel-gray fields, and the eye appeal is stunning. One is tempted to introduce a "Gem Plus" level to the GFRC rating system, but we'd prefer to simply let the coin speak for itself. F-110a, with a slight upward slope in the date. The reverse legend, which might appear sharp at first glance, is actually less lightly impressed than other 1841 dimes, which tend to exhibit deep relief in this portion of the design. CAC has approved 41 pieces in all grades; this piece is tied with two other coins for finest-known at MS66. The CAC price guide value is $7,500. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

The recent Newtown Liberty Seated dime purchases have brought about a number of Fortin core set duplicates. This lovely gem 1842 F-105 dime will certainly please the new owner given its sparkling frosted luster and vibrant cartwheels. Once again, strike is completely executed. Overall eye appeal is "all there" with originality, luster, and strike combining into a superb presentation under angled lighting. Purchased October 2010 for the Fortin core Seated dime set along with becoming the F-105 plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. CAC has approved five at the certified grade with three finer. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
	Seated	1842-O	VF30	PCGS 26336770	F-104	Choice	$400	New May 7! Scarce Small O, Choice Original, Saw Mill Run Collection.. The 1842 Small O variety is scarce in lower grades and becomes very rare in grades of EF or better. Greer reported seeing only two examples that he would consider as grading AU, with no knowledge of a Mint State example. This mint mark size variety can be located with and without an obverse rim cud from Star 3 to Star 6. The earlier F-104 104 die state, without the rim cud, is believe to be more difficult than F-104a with the obverse rim cud. Flat strikes including a weakly defined head are an additional issue with F-104 surviving examples. The mid-circulated grade example is toned an olive gray with well preserved surfaces. Weakness at the head is consistent with the issue. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1842-O	VF20	PCGS 27402664	F-104	Choice	$300	New June 4! Scarce Small O, Early Die State, Crusty Coin Gray, Choice Original. A quick check of the GFRC Sales Archives will highlight the scarcity of this 1842-O small O variety offering. The highest graded F-104 handled is VF30 and none with CAC approval. If Seated dime die varieties are a passion, then adding this example to represent the small O mintmark warrants consideration. Surfaces are fully choice and covered with crusty coin gray patina. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1843	MS66	PCGS 24705267	F-102a	Gem	$6150	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. The 1843 F-102a is a distinct variety with extensive die cracks and is listed in the Top-100 Varieties as #25. Half dollars of 1843 similarly exhibit die cracks, and clearly the Philadelphia Mint experienced problems with die preparation and/or striking in this year. Regardless, this is one the finest survivors of the issue. The CAC census notes five pieces in MS66 with none higher, while PCGS reports three coins in MS66, with a single piece finer at MS66+. Rich toning is evident on both sides, with aqua and maroon patina throughout. The northeast quadrant of the obverse, and the corresponding portion of the reverse, are more lightly shaded. This example is a PCGS Coin Facts plate coin. The CAC price guide is $6,750. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1844	VF30	PCGS 38299232	F-102	Choice	$795	Little Orphan Annie, Thick Crusty Patina, Choice Original Gray, Residual Mint Frost, CAC Approval.. A perfectly original example of the popular 1844 date that is often referred to as the Little Orphan Annie date due to 1930s promotion by Frank C. Ross. This offering is a consummate example of thick crusty natural patina. Under that patina is residual mint frost as seen throughout the reverse legend and within the denomination. Strike is typical for the date which means some weakness at the head, gown line, and throughout the reverse wreath and bow knot. PCGS grading is conservative based on wear alone. The residual mint frost suggests a higher grade. CAC was in agreement and provided green bean approval. Housed in fresh PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	Seated	1844	VF30	PCGS 30434820	F-102	Choice	$850	Choice Original, Steven Vitale Collection.. A lovely example of the 1844 Little Orphan Annie dime that is housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval. That approval is unquestionably warranted due to the choice surfaces and attractive old album toning. Both sides are layered with golden blues shades along with embedded aquamarine. Strike is well executed while the overall surfaces are well preserved with no blemishes. This date is easily available at the Good through Fine grades but becomes increasingly difficult in VF and very scarce in EF. Choice AU examples are rare. This Vitale Collection specimen is an important opportunity for collector constructing a CAC centric set of Liberty Seated dimes.
	Seated	1845-O	F12	PCGS 27889706	F-101b	Choice	$325	New May 7! Choice Original, Mountain View Collection.. This moderately worn 1845-O dime showcases the F-101b die state whereby the mintmark continues to expand in size. This variety was originally assumed to be a separate "Huge O" mintmark until further research proved otherwise. Surfaces are toned a natural coin gray with few blemishes. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1849-O Large O	VF30	NGC 4206292008	F-101b	Original	$250	New May 7! Large O, Late Die State, Choice Original.. 1849 New Orleans Large O coinage is notorious for being weakly struck. During later die states with a crack reverse die (F-101b), the obverse is always weak with flat heads and stars being the rule. This example is typical and is undergraded based on wear at the certified grade. This example is a full EF40 if not better, but the TPG will net grade the strike. CAC review resulted in a green bean due to strictly original surfaces plus the conservative grading. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1849-O	F12	PCGS 13232461	F-104	Choice	$225	New June 4! Repunched 184, Crusty Rose-Gray, Choice Surfaces, CAC Approval. Though this 1849-O dime has a reasonable amount of wear, the date repunching is still visible in the upper loupe of the 8 digit. Surfaces are toned a medium rose-gray and minimally abraded. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1852	MS65	NGC 344257009	F-101	Gem	$2950	Kamal Ahwash Plate Coin, Superb Gem, Frosted Luster, Hammered Strike, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. I'm finally letting go of one of the remaining Kamal Ahwash plate coins in my collection. This 1852 F-101 dime is Kam's plate on pages 117-118 within his Encyclopedia of United States Liberty Seated Dime 1837-1891 reference. This piece was purchased October 1999 and cherish since that time. Brilliant frosted luster radiates during angled lighting review regardless of the copper-gold patina. Strike is all there will complete motifs and elevated rims. Surfaces are entirely unabraded. This numismatically important piece was further used as the F-104 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. A true gem in every sense of the word and ready for the next curator to take proper care of this piece. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1853 With Arrows	MS65+	NGC 6058664012		Gem	$2375	Hubbed Arrows & Date, Thick Frosty Luster, Amazing Originality, CAC Approval. A strikingly original 1853 Liberty Seated dime strike with a Hubbed Arrows and Date obverse die. 1853 dimes struck with a fully hubbed die can be easily recognized with practice. The date and arrow positions are fixed along with the working die hubbing strength being consistent throughout the die. This is the case for the latest Osprey Collection offering. Note how the date and arrow device were lightly transferred along with the other motifs. This is an amazingly well preserved example with old time silver gray patina and granular frosted luster that is brilliant with angled lighting. 100% struck with cool wire-like rims. Perfect for type or inclusion into an advanced date and mintmark set. Accurately graded and housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1856 Small Date	MS65+	PCGS 31090762	F-116	Gem	$4500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Throw out the price guide on this piece, as it is certainly to sell for substantially more than the suggested CAC value of $2,550. Brilliant, frosted luster fills the centers of each side, both of which lead toward pleasing rim toning. Russet crescents surround the figure of Liberty, while the wreath is framed by a ring of maroon and intense blue-green color. The strike is full, and the overall eye appeal is superb. The CAC population is seven pieces in MS65, with five coins finer. Ex. Tom Bender Collection. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval.

That doubling is easily seen within the legend lettering and along with Liberty having "double lips" as every important variety needs a catchy name. This "doubled lips" example showcases the new James Longacre design hub with a delicately engraved central device that is easily prone to wear. Surfaces are covered with continuous mint bloom leading to brilliant frosted luster and swirling cartwheels. An ideal candidate for inclusion in the Top 100 Liberty Seated dime die variety set courtesy of the Lakeland Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
	Seated	1860-S	MS63	PCGS 60158271	F-102	Choice	$9500	Choice Original, Newtown Collection. Steely gray surfaces underlay mottled russet patina, with additional shades of gold color evident on the reverse.

F-102, with the date punched to the left, much closer to the tip of the shield than the F-101. The CAC census indicates 33 pieces total, with three coins at MS63 and four examples finer. The PCGS report is not far behind, with five coins noted at MS63 and four pieces higher. The CAC guide value is $9,900. Uncirculated examples of Liberty Seated branch Mint pieces prior to the 1870s are typically challenging, as collectors of the period cared little about mintmarks. Certain branch Mint issues are completely unknown in Mint State, while others, such as the present coin, are numbered in the single digits. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.2 (2004) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1860-S	VF35	PCGS 24065592	F-102	Choice	$700	Choice Original, Steven Vitale Collection.. 1860 San Francisco strikes where accomplished with the With Stars design hubs while the Philadelphia and New Orleans mint made the transition to the new With Legend design.

Swirling cartwheels highlight a few flecks of charcoal patina, and the overall flash is easily consistent with the near-Superb Gem technical grade. F-103, with the date and ONE DIME lightly impressed. CAC notes four pieces at MS66 with none higher. The introduction of new hubs beginning in 1859 solved some striking issues and created others. The bow knot is now nicely detailed, but the stalk to the upper left is soft. Regardless, the exceptional luster is easily the first focal point of this appealing Philadelphia piece. The CAC price guide value is $3,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1862-S	EF40	PCGS 37068774	F-101	Choice	$1500	Choice Original, Newtown Collection. This crusty example exhibits rich gold and maroon patina, with deeper color evident at the head and upper portions of the wreath. Scattered bits of dirt are present in the protected areas and serve to partially outline the design elements. Early San Francisco dimes are conditionally challenging, and even an EF example is surprisingly advanced in the census. The CAC population report indicates 18 pieces in all grades, with six coins finer. F-101, with an upward sloping low date and a die defect to the right of the shield. The CAC price guide value is $1,280. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	Seated	1863-S	MS63	PCGS 30032523		Choice	$10500	Condition Census San Francisco Civil War Date, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Complete Strike, Osprey Collection. Locating any of the San Francisco Civil War Seated dime dates in CAC approved Mint State is always noteworthy. The issues from 1861 through 1867 are well known for having been heavily circulated in western frontier commerce. Few strictly original Mint State survivors are known and an acquisition prize for passionate collectors of the series. I well know myself. The Osprey Collection is proud to present the Tom Bender specimen that flew below the radar screen at a recent Heritage auction. A superb example with granular frosted luster and a complete strike. The ebony specks in the upper left obverse field are a further testament to the incredible originality. Those pursuing the finest Liberty Seated collections should take note of this opportunity. CAC population is 27 in all grades. There are three approved at the offered grade with two finer, one of which is housed in the Fortin Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval and Tom Bender Collection pedigree on label.
	Seated	1864	MS66	PCGS 35690560	F-102a	Gem	$15000	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Lightly mirrored, reflective luster penetrates the thick colorful toning of this Civil War piece. Aqua and russet patina predominate, with neon shades additionally present above the figure of Liberty. F-101a, with a defect at the upper right of O(NE), the same reverse die as used in 1863. Clashing is evident beneath DIME. This piece is tied for finest known at CAC with three other pieces. The overall CAC population is 24 pieces, and the CAC price guide is $7,200. Ex. GFRC. This piece represent yet another exceptional gem from the Newtown consignor, a pedigree that will long be remembered among Seated dime specialists. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1865-S	VF30	PCGS 32749228	F-103	Choice	$1175	Low CAC Population, Bold Strike, Natural Coin Gray Patina, Perfectly Choice. Locating a strictly original 1865 San Francisco struck dime with choice surfaces takes patience and a little luck. CAC has approved only 24 pieces in all grades with two at the offered grade level. This F-103 example brings a bold strike though the mintmark is weak which is typical of the variety. Surfaces are toned a natural coin gray with slight planchet delamination in the mid-right obverse field. Otherwise the fields are pristine with some "dirt" in the protected area. A great selection for those seeking the best possible circulated Liberty Seated coinage. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. This offering is just a tad darker in-hand, than the images. Previously sold by GFRC during September 2022 and a fresh buyback from long term client.
	Seated	1867	MS66	PCGS 27350656	F-102	Gem	$5500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Rich evergreen and aqua patina fills the fields of this low-mintage piece, produced to the extent of only 6,000 pieces. Surfaces are lightly mirrored, and the die clashing in the obverse fields confirms the business strike designation. Collectors of the 19th century generally preferred proofs, but the situation evolved as numismatists began to appreciate the differences between proofs and Mint State pieces. With the census data available to today's collectors, it is clear that Mint State pieces are decidedly more desirable. This is a nicely struck example, with a completely full head and definition in the bow knot. F-102, with a downward sloping date and die doubling to the right of the wreath. CAC has certified eight pieces in MS66 and four higher, all at MS67. The CAC guide value is $6,750. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1867-S	VF20	PCGS 27597476	F-102	Choice	$500	Difficult San Francisco Date, Natural Coin Gray Skin, Unabraded Surfaces, CAC Approval. Though not technically a Civil War issue, 1867 Liberty Seated coinage is often lumped into that era due to similar mintages and striking characteristics. This unabraded survivor, from a mintage of 140,000, offers natural coin gray toning along with peripheral ebony framing. A premium example with a decent strike. CAC has approved 24 in all grades and one less than its rare Philadelphia counterpart. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval
	Seated	1869-S	AU50	PCGS 36240357	F-102	Choice	$525	New May 7! Near-Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. An exceptionally well preserved 1869-S F-102 example with crusty gray patina on both sides. Mint frost surrounds the legend, reverse wreath and is found inside the gown folds. Residual luster has a steely texture. Reverse die is starting to exhibit die erosion that results in thick "orange peel" fields during later die states. Fully struck without any blemishes worthy of mention. CAC has only approved a total of 30 in all grades with two at the AU50 level. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1869-S	EF45	PCGS 18736694	F-101	Choice	$495	Small Thin S, Golden-Gray Patina, CAC Approval, AuburnNY Accordian Collection. A well preserved and choice example of the 1869-s date which is tough in higher grades. The F-101 die variety documents a Small Thin S reverse. This AuburnNY Accordian offering is accurately graded with typical striking characteristics for the date. Uniform golden-gray obverse patina validates the originality. The darker areas on the right obverse are enhanced toning. A typical CAC approved specimen with that natural coin gray look. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1869-S	VF35	PCGS 26299756	F-101	Choice	$350	New May 7! Choice Original, Copper Harbor Collection.. A well preserved 1869-S F-101 example with olive-gray, and rose. Accurately graded with typical reverse metal flow lines and weaker striking characteristics for the later die state. Uniform olive-gray obverse patina screams originality. There are no blemishes to discuss. The CAC approval rewards the above average eye appeal at a mid-circulated grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1872	MS65	PCGS 81252594	F-102	Gem	$2750	New May 7! Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Core Collection Duplicate.. A wonderful gem Philadelphia strike that approaches the upper bounds of Mint State availability with its CAC approval. The CAC population includes only 4 at grade with 3 finer. This 1872 dime is simply superb with frosty rose gold patina across the obverse and lighter gold on the reverse. Strike is absolutely hammered including fully defined grains in the upper left wreath. Unabraded with brilliant frosted luster. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1875	MS66+	PCGS 25684934	F-121	Gem	$1500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Rich, frosted luster imparts swirling cartwheels atop the untoned fields of this flashy piece. Well-struck, with a near-complete head and split bow knot, if not fully so. F-121, the so-called "chin whiskers" variety with die flashing beneath the chin, and radial die lines to the right of the shield. CAC notes 18 pieces in MS66 and eight higher, all in MS67. The CAC guide value is $1,150. While the population at this grade level is higher than many other Seated dimes, the flip side is that a near-Superb Gem 19th century piece can be acquired at a reasonable cost. Ex. Winesteven Collection, via GFRC purchase. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1875	MS65	PCGS 18084393	F-103	Gem	$675	Excessively Rusted Obverse, Gem Original, Newtown Collection. The 1875 F-103 die pairing is easily attributed by an excessively rusted obverse die. This PCGS MS65 example presents gem surfaces including frosted cartwheel luster. Obverse is toned an even copper gold while the reverse is covered by a thick gray skin. Device details, within the GFRC images, are limited by an excessively rusted obverse die while the darker reverse toning provides limited contrast between fields and motifs. Fairly graded and housed in PCGS 2015 Ge 5.0 Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1875-CC In Wreath	MS65	PCGS 02251270	F-111a	Gem	$3400	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. This Mintmark in Wreath example exhibits glowing, satiny luster and vibrant cartwheels, exceptionally so for an MS65 example. Surfaces reveal original silver patina, with varying sprays of maroon color at the rims. F-111a, with a high date sloping down from left to right, and a vertical die crack extending from the corn ear to the right. A rim cud is developing above the wreath opening at the top. The CAC population in MS65 is 11 pieces, with five coins in higher grades. The CAC price guide value is $3,300. The eye appeal of this example is strong for the grade, and a more aggressive price point is easily warranted. Ex. GFRC. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1876-CC	MS64+	PCGS 38184992	F-132	Gem	$1650	New May 7! Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. Generous luster radiates from the surfaces of this GFRC-Gem dime, and the in-hand flash is considerable. Bits are maroon color are scattered at the rims, complemented by brilliant centers. Well-struck, with separation evident in the hair braids. F-132, a distinct variety with the date sharply sloping downward. CAC has certified 100 examples total, with 16 coins finer.

	Seated	1876-S Type 1 Reverse	MS64	PCGS 21524321	F-123	Choice	$800	Thick Frosted Luster, Complete Strike, Near-Gem, Ex. Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. 1876 San Francisco strikes are yet another case where present day survivors, in choice Mint State, are a tiny fraction of the overall mintage. With a mintage of over 10 million, hundreds of Mint State pieces should have been graded at this point. However, the total CAC approved population stands at 37 with seven at the MS64 level indicating that most went into circulation and remained there for years. This near-gem survivor was purchased May 2004 and has been a long-term guest in the Fortin bank box. CAC approval was secured during 2014. This is a frosted piece with golden obverse shades and bluish green on the reverse. Strike is above average for the date as many were minted from worn dies. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2003-2004) holder with CAC approval. A fresh GFRC buyback.
	Seated	1877-CC Type 2 Reverse	MS66+	PCGS 42140031	F-110	Gem	$4250	Superb Gem, Frosted Luster, Fully Struck, Golden-Gray Patina, Shattered Reverse. As a dealer, I see a host of Seated coins with many being subjected to past poor treatments. On occasion, a superb gem with perfectly original surfaces appears. So was the case at Summer FUN 2021 and the purchase of this 1877-CC Type2 F-110 dime. Steely fields and natural reflective luster are initial highlights during bright light inspection. Toning is a combination of silver-gray with peripheral gold plus aquamarine on the obverse. Strike is hammered when considering the die pairing and shattered reverse. What appeals to me the most is the thick natural patina that is semi-transparent to the underlying luster. Trust me on this piece, it is a exceptional example for the grade, else I would not have added to GFRC inventory. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2021) holder with CAC approval.

Brilliant centers lead to pleasing pastel shades of blue and rose at the rims, and the overall eye appeal is strong. Dancing cartwheels radiate from the frosted luster, producing in-hand flash that is substantial. This is an unlisted variety, with a die crack across the wreath opening. CAC has certified 22 pieces in MS66 and two coins higher, both at MS67. The CAC price guide value is $4,220. This is an exceptional piece that will draw significant interest.

	Seated	1878 Type 2 Reverse	MS66	PCGS 40880804	F-109	Gem	$3500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Partially mirrored fields reveal brilliant luster and swirling cartwheels, while the frosty devices contrast nicely with the semi-prooflike surfaces. Both sides are nearly untoned, with only a few bits of copper color evident, mostly at the high points. F-109, with a die line in the gown above the pendant. Nicely struck, with strong bow detail. CAC report three coins in MS66, two examples in MS67, and a single piece finer at MS68. The CAC price guide in MS66 is $1,880. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1881	PR63	PCGS 1125912	F-101	Gem	HOLD $960	New May 7! Gem Proof Strike, Gold CAC Approval.. This 1881 F-101 proof strike is yet another example of the early conservative grading that was realized during the PCGS and NGC start-up era. Brilliant reflectance is consistent on both sides and lights up blue and rose toning. At the Proof 63 grade, one should expect field hairlines but this is not the case for this fully struck example. Actually, the fields are well preserved and hairline free leading to a CAC Gold bean outcome as this lot is obviously much better than the certified grade. Housed Gen 1.2 (1986-1989) Rattler holder with Gold CAC approval.
	Seated	1881	MS66	PCGS 30000442	F-101a	Gem	$4500	Heavily Frosted Surfaces, Creamy White Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A superb gem 1881 F-101a business strike with thick mint bloom resulting in creamy brilliant white luster. The vibrant cartwheels are equally compelling during bright light inspection. Strike is complete as is the case for nearly all Fortin core set pieces. Purchased during December 2003 and becoming the plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. 1881 Philadelphia strikes are much more difficult to locate than the prior 1879 and 1880 dates. This fact is also present for Mint State specimens. CAC has approved 18 for those dated 1881 as compared to 64 and 33 respectively for 1879 and 1880 issues. Therefore the 1881 date trades at a higher premium with superb gem certification. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1884	MS67	PCGS 07420497	F-105	Gem	$2500	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Glowing, satiny luster reveals silver-gray surfaces that exhibit a fine spray of maroon patina. As expected for the grade level, ticks are virtually non-existent and require a glass to locate. Despite the heavy production of Morgan dollars, the Mint responded to demands for small change and continued to strike dimes in ample quantities through the remainder of the Liberty Seated series. F-105, with a downward sloping date and die cracks at the exterior of the wreath. CAC notes 11 pieces in MS67, with a single example finer at MS68. The CAC price guide value is $3,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.

The top of an extra 8 digit is visible in the denticles directly below the normal 8 digit. This example features brilliant frosty luster and active cartwheels. Strike is essentially complete with hammered reverse devices but some weakness at the top of Liberty's head. Given that most Type 2 obverse hub strikes are generally weakly struck, this offering is above average. There are no surface abrasions worthy of mention. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1886	PR64CAM	PCGS 3758747	F-103	Choice	$925	New May 7! Near-Gem Proof, Cameo Designation. Ex. Gerry Fortin Reference Collection.. The mintage for the 1886 proof Seated dime date is quite easy to remember at 886 pieces. How clever huh? Seriously, this former Gerry Fortin reference collection dime was purchased at the 2004 August ANA show and subsequently CAC approved. This is a near-gem example with sharp reflective mirrors and light gold toning. Fields are hairline free which is the basis for the green bean sticker. This lot remains as the 1886 F-103 proof strike plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1886	MS67	PCGS 32515469	F-113	Gem	$2900	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Swirling cartwheels flows from the steely, frosted luster of this late-date Philadelphia piece. Medium gray patina hosts blue-green color at the rims, while light copper color is additionally evident within the wreath. F-113, with a defect in the shield at the second vertical line. This piece is tied for top honors at CAC with seven others. The CAC price guide is $3,000, a remarkably accessible price point for an example with none finer known. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1888-S	MS66	PCGS 39743083	Unlisted	Gem	$4850	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Moderate, steely luster produces swirling cartwheels as this San Francisco piece is rotated under a light. Gray fields hide subtle maroon color in the protected areas of the obverse, while the rims are more intensely shaded with evergreen patina. The reverse reveals blue color behind the wreath, with subtle lilac hues evident at the center. Unlisted in the Fortin web-book, with a level date and thick mintmark. Tied for finest known at CAC with six other coins. The CAC guide value is $6,750, not inexpensive, but still a reasonable value with no finer survivors known. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.

A difficult 1889 Philadelphia die variety with repunching inside the lower loops of 88 and above the tail of the 9 digit. First listed by Fortin. This offering has to be one of the finest examples extant as I've seen few in my collecting career. Gem original surfaces are covered with semi-transparent golden-aquamarine patina. Frosty luster is brilliant with bold cartwheels during bright light viewing. The F-110 plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. Purchased April 2003 and in the Fortin collection since that time. I really hate to let this one go but all die variety dimes must be eventually sold.
	Seated	1889	MS64	NGC 3102384011	F-120	Gem	$475	Gem Original, Cartwheel Luster, Aquamarine/Rose Patel Toning, Conservative Grading.. A gem original 1889 Philadelphia struck dime that is so deserving of CAC approval. Glowing cartwheel luster couple with pretty pastel colors dominate the eye appeal. Obverse strike is nicely executed while the reverse die is weak and cracked resulting in some shallow relief to the reverse strike. This piece is essentially blemish free and atttractive with GFRC images unable to capture and illustrate the overall beauty. Housed in newer NGC holder.
	Seated	1889 Doubled Die Reverse	MS63	PCGS 21300803	F-122	Choice	$700	New May 7! Double Die Reverse #3, Choice Original, Top 100 Varieties.. Lustrous silver surfaces admit occasional shades of smoky gray patina in the protected areas, highlighted by hints of gold color here and there. Nicely struck, with a near full head and distinct detail in the left stalk. F-122, the doubled die reverse, most notably apparent at the upper left leaf, but additionally evident in O(NE) and elsewhere. The reverse die is shared with F-106, and this is a visually compelling variety, #89 on the Top-100 list (http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/major_100_table2.htm). CAC has certified 75 pieces overall. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1889-S	MS64	PCGS 43181572	F-108	Choice	$1400	Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Steely surfaces reveal light, crusty gray patina with a few deeper shades at the rim, while the reverse reveals additional, even rose color. A few marks are hidden within the figure of Liberty. F-108, with an even date and the mintmark centered under the bow knot. The CAC pop report notes six pieces in MS64, six coins in MS65, and two examples in MS66. The CAC price guide value is $1,420.

	Seated	1890	MS67	PCGS 25357604	Unlisted	Gem	$3000	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Frosted luster imparts a swirling cartwheel effect as this example is flipped under a light. Russet centers host ample amounts of electric blue patina at the rims. This variety is unlisted; a downward sloping date may assist in future classification. The strike is soft, with the head not fully defined, and this may also be characteristic of this particular die pair. Tied with seven other pieces for highest graded at CAC, typical of the Newtown consignment, which includes a number of pieces at the top of the census. The CAC price guide value is $3,000. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1890	MS64	NGC 956006002	F-110	Gem	$550	Misplaced Digit in Denticles, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Gem Eye Appeal. I could not resist adding this 1890 F-110 dime to inventory during the FUN show. Though a "common date", this dime possesses the hallmarks of a full gem. Luster is brilliant and frosty with vibrant cartwheels. Strike is nearly complete while the surfaces were meticulously preserved and are unabraded. Surfaces are toned various shades of copper-gold and add much charm. The F-110 die variety captures a misplaced digit in the denticles which is visible with a 10x. This is a well balance gem at a fair offer price for type. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder,
	Seated	1891	PR64CAM	PCGS 3705077	F-101	Gem	$900	New May 7! Gem Proof Strike, Ex. Gerry Fortin Reference Collection.. An old friend returns to this GFRC CAC-Only auction event. Formerly in the Gerry Fortin Reference Collection and employed as the 1891 F-101 plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. This offering is a gem proof strike with crisp watery mirrors on both sides. The resulting reflective luster and cartwheels are both substantial and eye catching. Strike is hammered with all motifs deeply impressed. A true cameo that warranted CAC approval. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder. Originally purchased during May 2002 and being released into the marketplace for a second time via GFRC.
	Seated	1891-O	MS66	PCGS 50260168	Unlisted	Gem	$3850	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Superb luster highlights blue-green centers framed by rose shading at the rims. Strong cartwheel actively dances as the coin is tilted, rotating around the colorful surfaces. The reverse might well grade MS67, were it not for micro-chatter south of M. Regardless, the luster atop the wreath is mesmerizing and it difficult for this cataloger to put the coin down. CAC has certified nine examples in M66 with none higher, while PCGS has 17 coins in MS66 and three in MS67. There won’t be any bargains in the Newtown sale – these coins are the not the sort to “slip through,” but this piece, with a CAC guide of $3,420, represents a quite reasonable value given that it is tied for finest known at CAC. This was the frontline coin in the Gene Gardner set (Heritage 6/2014, lot 30283, realized $2,820). Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.2 (2004) holder with CAC approval.
	Barber	1893	MS65	PCGS 16938928		Gem	$1085	Superb Eye Appeal, Gem Original, Swirling Cartwheels, CAC Approval. Barber dime mintage saw a dramatic reduction during the 1893 production year with most entering circulation rather than being saved as a first year of design issue. The 1893 CAC approved population also shows a sharp decrease from 216 to only 46. This 1893 offering is an obvious gem with rich frosty luster and swirling cartwheels. Obverse toning is mostly olive-gold with some variegated patterns. Reverse toning is exceptional with peripheral gold and lighted shades at the center. The slightest chatter in the right obverse field accounts for the assigned grade though eye appeal is superior. There is a small cud on Liberty's cap near ST(A)TES that will identify the die. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. CDN CAC guide is presently $1090.
	Barber	1901-S	EF45	PCGS 19579798		Choice	$925	Challenging Date, Superb Eye Appeal, Pristine Surfaces, Light Wear . This better date 1901-S Barber certainly has the eye appeal credentials with its golden gray patina and steely reflective surfaces. Under a bright light, the peripheral aquamarine-gold rings are that much more pronounced. An exciting date as the mintage is slightly less than 600,000 resulting in scarcity throughout the circulated grades. In terms of CAC approval, this example sits at the distribution mid-point with 24 lower and 20 higher. The issue is that prices begin to rapidly accelerate in AU or higher rending this offering as a compelling yet wise choice. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Barber	1904-S	AU58	PCGS 24104152		Choice	$1500	Very Scace and Challenging CAC Approved, None Finer Through MS64. 1904 San Francisco strikes are scarce due to low mintage and heavy circulation up through the Depression Era. In Mint State, none are CAC approved until the MS64 or better level. The lone three CAC approved AU58s are the only alternatives for those seeking a choice specimen at fair value. This fresh offering is one of the three AU58s with green bean approval. Fields exhibit steely surfaces that are entirely without abrasions. Strike is thoroughly executed on both sides with the reverse being quite impressive in terms of minute wreath details. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2011-2013) holder with CAC approval.
	Mercury	1916	MS67FB	PCGS 32923607		Gem	$1450	New May 7! Superb Gem Original, Island Lake Collection.. Luster blasts from the surfaces of this inaugural-year example, and the in-hand flash is readily apparent, even without a focused light source. The original, frosty silver color is highlighted by hints of light tan patina, and the eye appeal is compelling. The CAC population is 414 pieces, with only nine coins finer, all at MS68. We make no claims to MS68 status for this example, but it is worth noting that that price increase between MS67 and MS68 is nearly ten-fold. The CAC price guide in MS67FB is $1,350. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Mercury	1921-D	AU58	PCGS 27408497		Choice	$1650	New May 3! Key Date, Frosted Luster, Lightly Crusted Toning, Choice Surfaces. 1921 Denver struck Mercury dimes have the distinction of key date status with its mintage of only 1,080,000.

A light crusted gray skin protects the obverse while the reverse patina is less dense and more transparent to the underlying frosted luster. Reverse cartwheels are active when reviewing under angled lighting. An important opportunity for those who want their key dates to be perfect original and CAC approved.

A more "affordable" San Francisco struck Mercury dime than its immediate earlier predecessors. This 1929-S is downright awesome with glowing satiny luster that explodes off the surfaces. Strike is equally significant with deeply impressed motifs and Full Band designation, even with worn dies. If seeking a truly special better date Mercury in near condition census condition, this Mountaineer Collection offering is worth considering.

	Mercury	1944-D	MS67FB	PCGS 39680373		Gem	$200	New May 30! Brilliant Satiny Luster, Superb Gem, Full Bands Too. This 1944-D Mercury dime is way better in hand as compared to the GFRC images. The key reason is the inability to capture deep satiny luster as the contrast is limited for the camera. Trust me, the luster drips off this example and that it no BS. A premium example with pristine surfaces. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

Sadly, the GFRC images are unable to capture the viewing transition when placed under a bright light. The in-hand greens and rose shift to mostly light blues with a huge peripheral gold ring that is absolutely enthralling. What other superlatives can be used to describe this gem? Eye appeal and luster is of a higher grade with a contact mark by star 5 that most likely account for the certified grade. Luster is sharp and brilliant from steely surfaces. Once again, I must ask for clients to trust this description rather than the images. Photographing high grade gems with lightly contrasted patina brings its illustration challenges.

	Gold G$5	1811 Capped Bust	EF45	PCGS 16216671		Choice	$10500	Tall 5, Superb Capped Bust Type Offering, Orange Green-Gold Coloring, Heavily Clashed Dies, Osprey Collection. Noted United States gold expert, David Akers, opines within CoinFacts that "the Tall 5 variety of 1811 is moderately more rare than the Small 5 variety in all grades. However, it is at the uncirculated level that the difference is the greatest and, based on the number of auction appearances over the last half century, the Tall 5 variety is approximately twice as rare as the 1811 Small 5 in mint state." The Osprey Collection continues to explore early U.S. gold and has located a premium example of this date.. This new 1811 Tall 5 example is consistent with recent offerings plus being the first with CAC approval. Frosty luster radiates from greenish-gold surfaces plus peripheral gold. Dies are heavily clashed on both sides. The die clashing appears as a lines in the fields suggesting field chatter. That is not the case as the fields are essentially unabraded. Strike is pleasing too! Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$5	1834 Classic Head	AU58	NGC 1724406002	Plain 4	Choice	$3700	Plain 4, Popular Type Coin, Classic Green-Gold Coloration, Fully Choice, CAC Approval. By 1834, a redesign of the United States $5 gold piece was necessary due to the rising price of gold. William Kneass created this new Classic Head design which lasted for only five years before being replaced by Christian Gobrecht's Liberty design. As a result, all Classic Head gold is sought after as a type coin. GFRC is pleased to be offering this choice 1834 Plain example for consideration. This piece is high on the eye appeal scale with it classic green-gold appearance along with steely reflective fields. Strike is typical for the issue while the surfaces are well preserved with few abrasions. Accurately graded and housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder with CAC approval.

The surfaces of this CAC-approved New Orleans five exhibit warm, orange-gold shading and are complemented by generous amounts of copper-red patina in the protected areas. Fields are smooth for the grade and reveal a few lines as expected, while light dirt resides in the bun and wings. This is a lower mintage issue, with 41,000 pieces struck, and the Doug Winter reference indicates a current population of 150-175 coins. Winter 1, the only variety for this issue.

The CAC price guide value is $1,590. Housed in a new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

	Gold G$5	1868 Liberty	VF35	PCGS 39366105		Choice	$3750	New May 7! Rare $5 Liberty, CAC Population of 4! Choice Original.. CAC has certified but four examples of this rare date five, from an original mintage of 5,700 pieces. The Liberty Head half eagle series is extensive and stretches from 1838 to 1908, and few collectors pursue an entire set. This leaves opportunities such as the present offering, which would be under more pressure as a date if additional set builders entered the market. As it stands, CAC has certified only a handful of pieces in its 16 years of operation, and the opportunity to acquire another may not present itself for several years. This example exhibits orange-gold color with liberal amounts of copper-red patina in the protected areas, graced by light crust in the shield, wings, arrows, and legend.

Another San Francisco $5 gold date that sports a reasonable mintage but is rare in choice Mint State. Even in the late 19th century, west coast coinage had few collectors to selectively "put pieces away" for the long term. As a result, the 1895-S date brings a substantial premium when CAC approved.

	Gold G$5	1901-S Liberty	MS65	PCGS 43428446		Gem	$3600	Gem $5 Gold Type, Lucious Frosted Luster, Dancing Cartwheels, Complete Strike.

At the Winter 2021 Baltimore show, this stunning gem was located and added to inventory. 'Lucious" best describes the overall eye appeal under a bright light. Luster is downright intense with dancing cartwheels. Best of all are the lack of marks and pristine area about Liberty's face.

GFRC is pleased to be offering an exceptionally sharp San Francisco Mint Indian five that certainly ranks at the top of its class for its preservation. Delicate satiny luster is completely uninterrupted during bright light inspection. Overall coloring is intermixed greenish-gold. Mintage, for this final year of design issue, was limited to only 240,000 pieces with most high grade survivors sourced from a small 200 piece hoard. This example brings considerable value as a CAC approved MS65 is priced at 3x the level of this offering. From the Washington State Collection. Although several small hoards of Uncirculated coins entered the numismatic market from overseas sources beginning in the early to mid 1980s, the 1916-S remains elusive in grades above MS-63.
