	Seated	1838 Partial Drapery	MS64	PCGS 10166384	F-108a	Choice	HOLD $3250	New July 24! Partial Drapery, Near-Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Collection.. The F-108a Partial Drapery die variety that results when the F-108 dies are involved in a die clashing event. The result is a bold clash of the E in DIME near Liberty's elbow along with heavy die clashing on the right reverse.

Offered today is one of the two Gerry Fortin Collection examples which has been employed at the F-108a plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference.

	Seated	1838 No Drapery, Large Stars	AU58	PCGS 39432874	F-109	Choice	$700	Partial Drapery Late Die State, Near-Gem Original, Twin Lakes Collection.. Is the 1838 F-109 die pairing a "partial drapery" or not as asked by many collectors. During a prior die pairing where the obverse and reverse dies clashed, the "partial drapery" designation is a given as the die clash under the right arm is prominent. During its final die state, the "partial drapery" obverse is paired with another reverse. The die clash under Liberty's right arm is still visible though die erosion has weakened its presence. The "partial drapery" remains significant enough to be labeled occasionally by the grading services. This Twin Lakes F-109 example has not been label by PCGS as a "partial drapery" though the die clash is still visible. This example offers frosted luster along with a complete strike. Light gold toning is present on the lower obverse and throughout the reverse. Surfaces are entirely unabraded with metal flows lines into the peripheries. This near-gem lot has been reserved as a regular No Drapery Large Stars issue and could be a bargain for the astute die variety collector. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

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.

Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	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.

	Seated	1859	MS65	NGC 1875970007	F-103	Gem	$3250	Extra 9 in Gown, Gem Original, Cleveland Collection..

The fields are perfectly original and hairline-free, while the overall flash is consistent with the assigned grade. 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.

The CAC price guide value is $3,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

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.

	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.

This 1864-S Seated dime is yet another CACG acquisition from the Whitman show and earns a Choice quality rating. Folks, they don't come much nicer than this piece at the certified grade.

	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

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.

	Seated	1872	MS65	PCGS 81252594	F-102	Gem	$2750	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	1873 No Arrows, Open 3	MS63	PCGS 85794205	F-101	Choice	HOLD $2300	New June 26! Low Level Date, Circular Die Cracks in Wreath. After researching and selling Liberty Seated dimes going on 35 years, there are notable conclusions. One is that the 1873 No Arrows Open 3 date continues to be underrated and under appreciated for its overall scarcity. It just does not garner an respect and is the Rodney Dangerfield of the dime series. The PCGS and CDN price guides are much too conservative given that only 17 are stickered with four better and the finest residing in the Fortin core collection. This F-101 example exhibits thick frosted luster and a complete strike. Light gold patina is evident on both sides. Circular die cracks throughout the wreath exactly match those for the F-101 web-book plate coin. This near-gem example offers bold eye appeal at a fair offer price. That price is consistent with prior GFRC sales and can be confirmed by visiting the Sales Archive. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1873-S With Arrows	MS64+	PCGS 25233863	F-101	Gem	$5500	Gem Original, Oregon Beaver Collection.. Steely-frosted cartwheels reveal varied russet shades, more heavily on the reverse, which additionally exhibits a splash of charcoal patina. This is a fully struck example with complete ribbon detail. F-101, with the thin-style mintmark. Just two die pairs were used to produce nearly half a million circulation strikes in this year. CAC notes 25 pieces total, with three coins finer, the highest at MS66. The CAC value in MS64 is $3,820 and advances to $10,500 in MS65. The bidders will decide how closely to approach the MS65 price (this coin previously sold at $5,500 in the Branch Mint Collection sale), but in any case, this piece presents a compelling combination of aesthetic appeal and exceptional technical grade, separated from finest known status by only a point and a half. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder and CAC approval.
	Seated	1873-S	MS64	PCGS 07447774	F-101	Gem	$4850	New June 1! 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	1876-CC	MS64+	PCGS 38184992	F-132	Gem	$1650	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. The CAC price guide value is $1,420 in MS64 and $1,950 in MS65.

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.
	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.

Strike is typical of the issue. Pleasing and inexpensive for the consistent JBN quality. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4696.

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	1890	MS64	NGC 956006002	F-121	Gem	$595	Sharply Sloping Date, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Gem Eye Appeal. I could not resist adding this 1890 F-121 dime to inventory after being bought back from a well known client. 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-121 die variety captures a sharply downward sloping date that is an eyeball variety. This is a well balance gem at a fair offer price for type. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder,
	Seated	1891	MS64	PCGS 21507312	F-108	Choice	$650	Near-Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection.. Lightly mottled russet and lilac patina covers the frosty obverse of this last year of issue Philadelphia piece, while the more untoned reverse exhibits reddish-brown color at the right rim. F-108, the plate coin in the Fortin web-book, with stray detail in the lower loop of the 9, and reverse die cracks. Strike is typical, with reverse softness at K10. The CAC census notes 157 pieces total, with a price guide value of $530. Although not a challenging date, this remains an affordably priced example with substantial luster and original surfaces. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder with CAC approval. Note, there are lines on the holder to the upper right on both sides.
	Barber	1892	MS65	PCGS 38595429		Gem	$700	Gem Original.. Granular, frosted luster imparts spinning cartwheels to this colorful, first year of issue piece. Maroon patina fills protected spaces at the rims, while the interior reveals a mix of grey and sea-green shade. After a 55-year run of Liberty Seated coinage, extending from 1836 to 1891, the Mint introduced a new, common design for the dime, quarter, and half dollar in this year. CAC has approved 245 coins total, 39 pieces in MS65, and 79 examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $468 in MS65. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4796
	Barber	1896	PR64CAM	PCGS 36911463		Choice	$900	Near-Gem Original, Cameo Proof Strike.. Frosty devices rise above the mirrored fields, revealing a “black and white” Cameo effect as the piece is tilted under a light. A sharp strike imparts strongly impressed design elements, and the bow knot is completely split. A few wispy lines, detectable with a glass, are present in the right, obverse field. Proof Barber dimes form a 24-coin series, dated from 1892-1915, and the low CAC populations dictate that full sets remain remarkably elusive. Still, many of these pieces are available at price points under $1,000. CAC has approved 32 pieces in all grades, five examples in PR64 Cameo, and 23 coins finer. The CAC price guide value is $842.

	Barber	1898-O	MS65	PCGS 37504943		Gem	$2950	Gem Original, New Orleans Collection.. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Brilliant centers reveal natural silver color and are framed by russet patina at the rims, more heavily on the obverse. The overall eye appeal is strong and the GFRC Gem rating is warranted. Die erosion is evident in ONE DIME, and the reverse cracks clearly indicate a deteriorating die. PCGS has certified 290 coins, but the situation is more challenging when one considers strict originality. CAC notes 36 pieces total, with six coins in MS65 and six examples finer. CAC assigns a value of $3,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4816.

Warm rose, maroon, and tan patina combine atop the surfaces of this New Orleans piece, with deeper shades evident in the protected areas. The strike is sharp and fully defines the wreath elements. This piece is well advanced in the CAC census, which indicates a low population, just 20 pieces, for the entire issue. At the upper end, CAC reports three coins in MS66 and only two examples finer, both MS67. The Norweb pedigree (Bowers & Merena, October 1987, lot 599) is confirmed by a toning mark at K5 on the reverse rim. The piece realized $3,960 at the Norweb sale, a strong price for the time. The current CAC price guide value is $7,200. This piece is a highlight of the present sale and will draw significant buyer interest. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval and Norweb/Simpson pedigree listed on the label. PCGS #4819.
	Barber	1901-S	AU53	PCGS 44114354		Choice	$1495	Popular Low Mintage Date, Light Gold, Frosted Luster, CAC Approved. 1901-S Barber dimes enjoy ongoing popularity since being well recognized low mintage date (593,022) and remains in high demand. This 2023 Pittsburgh ANA purchase is unquestionably original with lightly crusted gold hues. Bright light luster has a "creamy" frosted texture that I find particularly attractive. Speckled copper-gold at the obverse periphery adds to the charm. This date in available in the lower circulated grades but becomes scarce in AU or better when fully choice and CAC approved. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
	Barber	1902	PR63	PCGS 41007744		Choice	$600	Choice Original, Proof Strike.. Moderate mirrors, consistent with the PR63 guide, reveal light gold color on both sides, decorated by a liberal splash of maroon patina. A few lines are evident at the neck and cheek. Proof coinage at the turn of the century was produced to a high standard, and the razor sharp detail of this example is consistent with contemporary practice. The CAC census notes 41 coins total, eight pieces in PR63, and 32 examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $585. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4886

Largely untoned surfaces reveal bits of light russet color here and there, but the strongest impression is the overall “pop.” The obverse exhibits vertical die polish, as struck. CAC notes 131 pieces in all grades, 30 coins in MS66, and four examples finer, all in MS67. The CAC price guide value is $910 in MS66 and $4,120 in MS67. “Pricing the plus” can be more art than science, but, by way of reference, the PCGS price guide indicates a value of $875 in MS66, advancing to $1,800 in MS66+ and $4,000 in MS67.

	Capped Bust	1824/2	VG10	PCGS 28722936		Choice	$1475	Near-Gem Preservation, Gray with Peripheral Gold, Notable Eye Appeal. A single die pair struck only 16,000 quarters dated 1824. There are no Mint records of any deliveries during that year, therefore researchers believe the issue was included in the final deliver of 1823. CAC has approved 58 in all grades with most in lower circulated grades. This new example garners a near-gem quality rating was the surfaces are very well preserved while bright light coloration is superb. Natural coin gray toning provide a contrasting backdrop for peripheral golds. The reverse is quite special with its center rose hues.

	Seated	1849-O	F15	PCGS 30006308	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$5125	New Orleans Key Date, Crusty Gray Patina, Choice Original Surfaces, Quito Collection. Consignor Price Reduction. The mintage for 1849 New Orleans strikes is unrecorded with Briggs estimating a mintage of 16,000 pieces. Few example ever reach the marketplace. The CAC population report further illustrates the dilemma facing collectors as only 17 have been approved in all grades with more than half grading between FA02 and F12. GFRC is pleased to report that the Quito Collection is releasing the single approved F15 specimen. This example is strictly original with consistent crusty gray patina on both sides. Surfaces are essentially unabraded and quite pleasing when one considers the amount of time in circulation and the opportunities for mistreatment. Honestly, the "price guides" are just that for this date as the overwhelming challenge is locating an example, let along a choice CAC approved specimen. Let's see how long this offering lasts on the 30 Day Price List. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2003-2004) holder with CAC approval.

	Seated	1852	MS66	PCGS 9462318	Briggs 1-A	Gem	$22500	Superb Gem Original, Condition Census, Repunched Date, Quito Collection. Consignor Price Reduction. The Quito Collection continues his releases of some amazing Liberty Seated quarters. Mintage of the 1852 date is 177,060 with PCGS having certified eight pieces between MS65, MS65+, and MS66, with none finer. The Quito lot is one of four certified at PCGS along with one of four approved at CAC. When checking CoinFacts and reviewing the Eugene Gardner specimen, which is the CoinFacts plate coin, it is readily apparent that the Quito specimen is superior to the Gardner coin in terms of strike and undisturbed luster. DLRC last sold the Gardner lot during August 2017 with CAC approval for $21,500. Previously, the same lot sold in Heritage's 2015 Gardner Sale, without CAC approval, for $18,800. You are invited to visit CoinFacts and the auction records to validate my findings. Bottom line, the Quito Collection specimen is exceptional and superior to the Gardner pedigreed example. This piece is an unmitigated "luster bomb" with old time light gold toning. This lot is worthy of the finest Seated coinage collections under construction. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.0 (1990-1993) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1856	AU50	PCGS 2849756		Choice	$265	New June 27! Crusty Coin Gray, Choice Original, Worn Holder. Consignor Buyout, Price Reduction.

	Seated	1857	MS66+	NGC 6060865003		Gem	$6300	Superb Gem Original, Osprey Collection. A thick band of blue-green color surrounds the obverse, highlighted by burnt russet patina above the head. Rose and gold centers are lightly toned, and the eye appeal is exceptional. Fully struck, an important distinction for this date, as many high-grade pieces come with soft stars or other striking issues. Under a glass, fine die polish lines are evident on both sides. CAC has certified 100 pieces, with 10 examples finer. A superb example of the type. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1857	MS66	PCGS 20211414		Gem	$4900	Unquestionably Gem, Exceptional Bright Light Viewing, Sharp Steely Frosted Luster. A gorgeous gem that MUST BE VIEWED in-hand to be appreciated! 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. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1858-S	VF35	PCGS 26549025			$3250	Semi-Key Date, Low CAC Population, Perfectly Original, CAC Approved. Well recognized as one of the Liberty Seated quarter semi-key dates, of many, this 1858-S offering also brings a very low CAC population. Only 22 are approved in all grades with six finer above this well preserved VF35 specimen. Though 121,00 were struck, only 2 survived in Mint State 62. I particular like this example due to its strict originality and bold strike. Coin gray patina is augmented by a lighter patch that extends to the reverse. The reverse toning is a bit thicker containing rose hues along with traces of peripheral gold. Head details are complete along with all star point being connected. This piece offers consideration detail and viewing pleasure at the certified grade. Destined for placement in an advanced collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval.

Close inspection does reveal some minor scuffs on the reverse above the eagle's head, but nothing that is out of the ordinary for the MS62 grade, and the eye appeal is very strong for the grade.

	Seated	1846 6/Horizontal 6	AU55	PCGS 20198692	WB-7	Gem	$5750	6/Horizontal 6, Steely Fields, Light Gold, Gem Eye Appeal, Newtown Collection. The 1846 6 over horizontal 6 is a great "eyeball" die variety that is one of the most obvious in the Liberty Seated half dollar series. After punching the 184 digits with a three digit logotype, the mint engraver mistakenly punched the final 6 digit at a 90 degree angle. Realizing his mistake, he then punched the 6 digit in the correct position without an attempt to efface the former. Talk about having a bad day! This Newtown lot warrants a GFRC-Gem quality rating for its superb preservation, undisturbed steely reflective lust and complete strike. The last PCGS auction appearance dates back to October 2016 and is a dipped out example. CAC has approved 21 in all grades with six finer at the MS63/MS64 level with five figure premiums.

An exceptionally beautiful 1877 Seated half that would boldly complement the finest early silver type sets under construction. This piece would also fit in nicely for those seeking premium Mint State halves. Unfortunately, the GFRC images are unable to accurately illustrate the granular frosted luster that actively interacts with the rose-gold and peripheral blue shades. Angled lighting further exposes the vibrant cartwheel action. As also expected from a gem graded 66+, the strike is all there. The darker thin lines in the right obverse field are toning lines. CAC has approved and graded 78 in all grades, not a surprise given the high mintage. At the offer grade, 14 have been approved with 3 finer.

	Morgan	1886-S	MS61	NGC 6057235015		Choice	$575	Historically Scarce San Francisco Date, Fresh CAC Approval, Lightly Mirrored, Untoned. Scenic Lakeview Collection. During the early 1900s, the 1886-S was one of the Morgan rarities in Mint State. Over time, a moderate supply of coins were released from San Francisco mint storage, thus increasing availability.

This color consistency validates the originality. The low 750,000 piece mintage has made this a popular date since the B. Max Mehl auction sales of the early 20th century. This date remains scarce as few were found in the 1982-1964 Treasury bag release. A notable example with much character that is sure to please the new owner.

The 1893-O dollar is the lowest mintage New Orleans Morgan dollar as only 300,000 piece were struck. Survivors are scarce in all grades while this key date becomes rare in Mint State with CAC approval. This offered example presents frosted luster and swirling cartwheels when view under a bright light. Accurately graded as the abrasions are concentrated on the obverse at the cheek. The reverse image lacks some definition due to holder haze. CAC has approved a total of 373 in all grades with the majority being circulated. Only 10 have been approved at the certified grade, a small number given the widespread demand for Morgan dollars. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Morgan	1898-S	AU58	PCGS 47531318		Choice	$525	Attractive Slider, Steely Radiance, Vibrant Cartwheels, Light Gold Patina.

Though 1899 New Orleans strikes will be found with proof like and deep cameo proof like surfaces, this gorgeous example is just the opposite. This superb gem is covered with granular mint frost that is continuous and entirely undisturbed. Creamy frosted luster radiates from both sides when placed under angled lighting.

	Morgan	1901	AU55	PCGS 31572853		Choice	HOLD $765	New July 17! Popular Late Date Issue, Greenish Rose-Gold Toning, Steely Frosted Luster, Impressive Presentation. 1901 dated Morgans have a storied history as the date is rare and challenging in Mint State. Unlike many other "scarce" Morgan dates, this issue was not saved by the Treasury resulting in no releases during the 1940s, 1950s or the active 1960s. Nearly all the mintage went into circulation. As a result, quality AU examples are prized by many collectors for their affordability. CAC has stickered 377 to date with almost half being at the AU58 grade given the lack of Mint State examples. This Summer Baltimore acquisition captured my attention due to its lovely greenish rose-gold toning and differentiated presentation. Under a bright light, the luster falls into the steely-frosted realm. Swirling cartwheels are most pleasing at the certified grade. The CDN CAC price guide lists $730 at the AU55 level and jumps to $1660 in AU58 as reference. This offering is compelling at the offer price and warrants a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation.

Light copper-gold and peripheral obverse blues provide for an above average viewing experience as compared to omnipresent frosty white examples. Frosted luster has a light granular texture while the cartwheels become vibrant under a bright light. This piece is accurately graded given the contact points on the lower neck. However, this is an eye appeal play for those who love their Morgans with colorful original skins. A better late date San Francisco strike with lots of character.

	Morgan	1903	MS65	PCGS 2562516		Gem	$385	New June 5! Brilliant Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Gem Surfaces. There is no question that the 1903 Morgan dollar date is a common issue given the number of bags that have been released over the years. When seeking an example, collectors must take their time in locating a superior piece. This newly acquired gem is worthy of consideration as the luster steely-frosted with an undisturbed presentation. Spinning cartwheels erupts under a bright light.

Production of one-dollar gold pieces fell drastically following the onset of the Civil War and never truly recovered. Annual mintages in the thousands are typical, and the Guide Book lists a long string of four-figure production levels.

	Gold G$10	1893-CC Liberty	AU55	NGC 6487826001		Choice	$11500	Final Year Carson City Issue, Frosted Luster, Near Pristine Surfaces, Osprey Collection. As the final Carson City issue in the series, the 1893-CC ten is highly sought-after in all grades. The small 14,000 piece mintage ensures overall scarcity for surviving examples. CAC has approved 55 in all grades with roughly half being at the AU55/AU58 levels. In terms of 20th century coinage populations, there are few green bean stickered 1893-CC $10 gold to satisfy collector demand. The Osprey Collection is back with a really sweet example that is a pleasure to post to the GFRC price list. Abrasions are always an issue for larger gold pieces and the first attribute checked during a 10x review. This lot presents essentially unabraded surfaces that are a joy to examine.

Despite a mintage of just over a hundred thousand pieces, the price profile of the 1894-O is somewhat close to that of a type coin, especially in grades below MS63.

What a surprise when reviewing the CDN CAC guide and population reports. 1898 Philadelphia $10 gold could be considered a better date as only 60 have been approved in all grades versus a mintage of 812,130. This newly consigned example is approaching the condition census given its noteworthy preservation. Coloration is the typical honey-gold while the surfaces are covered with micro-textured mint frost. The resulting luster is brilliant with commensurate charwheels. Two scattered obverse ticks are consistent with the (+) certified grade rather than full gem.

One does not often see later date gold with bold date repunching. This gem 1901 San Francisco strike features a triple 1 digit with prior punches to the left and below the final digit. There is also repunching above the 0 digit via 10x inspection. A thoroughly pleasing $10 gold piece that would be ideal for type also. Surfaces are heavily frosted and brilliant.

He continues and opines that 50 to 60 pieces were in the hoard with nearly all MS60 through MS63 level. This near-gem is indicative of the issue with its pleasing honey green-gold coloration and frosted luster that has a light granular texture.

Better San Francisco Date, Deep Honey-Gold, Frosted Luster. 1909 San Francisco $10 Indian gold production was limited to 292,350 resulting in a better status with collectors.

Few collectors of the early 20th century pursued gold coins by date and mintmark, and high-grade survivors, especially from branch Mints, can be surprisingly challenging. Although the San Francisco Mint struck nearly a million eagles in this year, the CAC census notes only eight pieces finer. This yellow-gold example offers thick, frosty luster, cooled with swirling cartwheels. Blemishes are minimal and only scattered ticks are evident. The CAC population is 99 coins total and the CAC guide value is $8,550. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with the Fairmont Collection pedigree noted on the label.

The 1912-S date is a notorious issue in the $10 gold Indian series. Clearly a better date as the certified populations drop off quickly after the MS63 level with AU58s commanding strong premiums. Furthermore, the issue is known for being one of the most poorly struck in the series along with having below average luster. This newly consigned example bucks its reputation with a strong strike along with frosted luster and honey-gold hues under a bright light. Moderate cartwheels are also evident. Clearly, CAC stickers the "best of breed" as is the case for this beautiful AU58 offering. The CAC price guide currently stands at $2100 as reference.

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.

Obverse fields are lightly mirrored and offer reflective radiance. Reverse fields are frosted with corresponding bright light appearance. Overall luster was so intense that the standard contrast application, during GFRC image processing, was dampened to accurate capture visual effects.

	Gold G$5	1895-S Liberty	MS62	PCGS 41453606		Choice	$4150	Rare in Mint State, Few Finer CAC Approved, Sparkling Frosted Luster, Osprey Collection. 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. All but 9 of the 45 approved are at the circulated level. The Osprey Collection is offering a choice example that exhibits pretty sparkling frosty luster and swirling cartwheels. Coloration is a light honey-gold. Scattered field chatter accounts for the certified grade. Only four are finer. Fairly priced for the rarity. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval. The label captures the Fairmont Collection pedigree.
	Gold G$5	1895-S Liberty	AU58	NGC 255452010		Choice	$1100	Underrated San Francisco $5 Date, Steely Frosted Luster, Choice Surfaces, Running Boar Collection. The 1895-S $5 gold date remains underrated given its mintage of only 112,000 pieces and very low surviving Mint State population. Total PCGS Mint State population stands at 44 pieces while CAC has approved only 10 comparable examples. This date sees a dramatic pricing increase starting at the MS62 level. This Running Boar lot presents value given the AU58 certification and CAC green bean. Luster falls into the steely-frosted category while the coloration is an even honey-gold with some background green under a bright light. Mint bloom is available throughout the devices and periphery. Strike is complete other than the reverse arrow feathers. Housed in NGC Gen 9 (2001-2003) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$5	1905 Liberty	MS64+	NGC 6331828001		Gem	$1500	Superb Type Offering, Granular Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold Coloration, Osprey Collection. The 1905 $5 gold issue is ideal for type since there is no date premium associated with a mintage of 302,200. This date is considered slightly scarcer than "common" for those who keep track of gold date rarity. The Osprey Collection has hit a homerun with this example purchased at the Pittsburgh ANA. Tightly textured frosted luster is softly brilliant and thoroughly pleasing under a light source. Coloration is a uniform honey-gold with "dirt" free surfaces. Strike is bold and complete. The MS64+ grade is technically accurate as there is scattered field chatter, however the overall eye appeal won the day at CAC. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

CAC approval validates the originality.
	Gold G$5	1909 Indian	MS64	PCGS 46569876		Gem	$4150	Better Philadephia Date, Rich Honey-Gold, Sparkling Frosted Luster. Sparkling frosted luster is the highlight of this gem 1909 half eagle. The application of angled lighting, with my desk lamp, allows the surfaces to radiate light in all directions. Coloration is a rich honey-gold with background greens. A touch of chatter in the upper right reverse field holds this one back from a certified gem opinion. This is a really pretty piece that is certain to please. CAC price guide is $4120 which is consistent with the offer price. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
