	1837 No Stars, Small Date	AU Details	PCGS 80503428		Original	$850	Small Date, Perfectly Original, Deep Gray-Blue Obverse Toning Spot, Massachusetts Collection. This perfectly original 1837 F-102 Small Date continues to be the die variety plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. The Massachusetts Collection (Coulombe Family on Open Set Registry) purchased this lovely raw dime back in 2015 for me. During the tenure in his collection, a PCGS grading submission resulted in an AU Details, Environmental Damage opinion. Let's walk through this dime carefully. Surfaces are lightly frosted consistent with the issue. Toning is a natural coin gray-gold that is consistent on both sides. The blue-gray area to the left of Liberty is most likely dried ink dating back a century or more. When I first purchase this piece in the early 1990s, this blue-gray region did not bother me as it provided unique character to the piece. Of course, PCGS will take the safe route and certify as a Details specimen. The question comes down to the coin itself as strictly original with lovely frosted luster. Would you like to own this web-book plate coin? It is way more pleasing that a dipped out white AU straight graded by PCGS that is all too common in the marketplace. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with F-102 No Stars, Sm Date attribution on the label.
	1838-O No Stars	EF40	ANACS OWH 770339	F-101	Original	$800	No Stars Type, Thick Gun Metal Gray Patina, Steely Fields, Woodlands Collection. 1838 New Orleans dimes with struck with a single obverse paired with two separate reverse dies. The first pairing (F-101) is well known for its repunched mintmark and is included in the Top 100 Varieties set. This new Woodlands Collection F-101 release offers considerable device details at the certified grade. A thick gun metal gray skin is overlaid on steely obverse fields while the reverse exhibits center rose and peripheral aquamarine hues. Ancient horizontal roller lines are seen at the bottom of DIME otherwise, the piece is essentially unabraded. Yet another quality early type piece that continues to be housed in old white ANACS holder. The label reads 1838-O/O and RPM-1 as the die variety attribution.
	1839 No Drapery	EF45	PCGS 28645438	TOP #10 F-105b R7+	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.

The offering of the non-CAC approved New Orleans Collection Seated dime continues with this choice 1839-O F-106 with later die states being well recognized as the Cobweb Shattered Reverse. This strike was accomplished with a partially cracked or "interim die state" dies. The cobweb cracks are visible throughout the wreath. A crusty gray skin covers both sides with lighting toning on the reverse. The underlying fields are steely. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	1839-O	EF45	NGC 6442948002	F-104a	Original	$495	Repunched Mintmark, Bisecting Reverse Die Cracks, Near-Choice, Lakeland Collection. Consignor Price Reduction. The Lakeland Collection is back with a Top 100 Variety offering that should garner attention. The 1839-O F-104a die variety features a boldly repunched mintmark (bottom) and a long horizontal bisecting die crack on the reverse. This long die crack must be present for inclusion in a Top 100 set. Surfaces are covered by a crusty gray patina with some "dirt" at the stars. Note the sharply repunched star 8. Strike is excellent and typical for the issue. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1839-O No Drapery	EF40	PCGS 28178880	F-104	Choice	HOLD $360	Repunched Mintmark, Choice Original, Steven Vitale Collection.. Repunching is clearly evident to the south east of the mintmark on the 1839 F-104 die pairing. This example is in an early die state as the reverse shows no traces of the typical horizontal die crack through UN(I)TED and into (DIME). Surfaces are toned a natural coin gray with peripheral copper-gold highlights. Pleasing surfaces are essentially unabraded. This is a noteworthy example of a challenging R4 variety easily cherrypicked reverse repunching. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder. The lable captures RPM FS-501 die variety attribution.
	1839-O No Drapery	VF35	NGC 1652175009	TOP #14 F-108	Original	$950	Huge O, Choice Original, Birmingham Collection. This is one of the better examples seen while working with the Liberty seated dime series. Most Huge O dimes comes with some type of problem and strictly problem free examples in EF or better grades are rare. So along comes this wonderful example from the Birmingham Collection. Accurately graded and very close to EF due to the lapped obverse die and well worn reverse from 1838. Surfaces are covered with strictly original and uniform gun metal gray patina with hints of blue and rose intermixed. Strike is bold validates this is a middle die state example since there is no die crack from (U)NITED to the rim. In terms of blemishes, there are a few fully toned over old lines on the obverse but given this piece's grade rarity, they don't bother me in the least and should not bother the buyer. Housed in old NGC holder with standard circular insert. As a serious student of the Liberty Seated dime series, I enjoy handling consignment dimes that bring a good balance of quality, rarity and eye appeal.
	1839-O No Drapery	VF20	PCGS 4820652	TOP #14 F-108 R5	Choice	HOLD $315	Huge O Reverse, Early Die State, Atypical Choice Original Surfaces, Crusty Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Top 100 Varieties Set. A crusty original example of the popular 1839-O F-108 Huge O reverse in an early die state. Surfaces are covered with a thick medium gray patina on both sides. An obvious early die state strike since stars 1 through 3 are well defined along with the 18 digits in the date. A quality example with unabraded surfaces and so well preserved. A fairly graded example with all seven letters in LIBERTY showing. Once the obverse die is lapped, F-108a example will have lower left obverse weakness that extends into the shield and lettering. Included in the Liberty Seated Dime Top 100 Varieties set as entry #14. Housed in PCGS Gen 2.2 old green holder with plastic haze on the lower reverse. Please note this fact when viewing the GFRC images. Attractively priced.
	1839-O No Drapery	F15	ANACS 280640	F-107	Original	HOLD $248	Huge O Obverse, Small O Reverse, AuburnNY Accordian Collection. The 1839-O F-107 variety results from a rare die pairing between the Huge O obverse with a Small O reverse. Both dies appear to have been lapped together as each exhibits considerable loss of device depth. The "Huge O" obverse is very weak at stars 1 to 3, the left base and the date punch. The Small O reverse exhibits a partial loss of AMERICA in the legend. Few examples of this variety have been seen over many years of researching the seated dime series. Most seen will be in the lower circulated grades as is the case with this AuburnNY Accordian offering. I've assigned an R6 rarity in grades of VF or better in the web-book and fully warranted. This example has spent time in an old album or velvet case. Obverse coloring is pinkish-rose and blues while aquamarine covers the reverse wreath. A very well struck example regardless of die polishing with grading being on the conservative side. Graders often grade the strike rather than wear on "Huge O" obverse strikes. Housed in ANACS old white holder.
	1840-O No Drapery	VF35	PCGS 20647394	F-109a	Choice	$325	Rim Die Cracks at UN(I)TED (S)TATES O(F) AME(R)ICA, Crusty Gray, Small O, New Orleans Collection. Deeper steely gray is dual sided on this well preserved 1840-O F-109a dime. Bright light viewing reveals some residual reflectance. Overall strike is complete as is typical for the No Drapery design hubs. The F-109a state captures radial rim die cracks at UN(I)TED (S)TATES O(F) AME(R)ICA. A crusty example of this interesting die variety. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	1840-O No Drapery	VF30	raw	TOP #14 F-108	Market Acceptable	$180	Small O Mintmark, Micro Surface Ticks.. An even light gray/brown patina covers obverse and reverse. I've seen a fair number of 1840, 1841 and 1842 New Orleans dimes with the same micro tick marks mostly on the obvese. I believe this dime is original and not cleaned but does have micro tick marks and a line on the reverse rim. I've also seen some of these New Orleans dimes in PCGS holders where TPG recognizes the original surfaces and net grades the coin. Images well capture the dimes surface conditions and color. Interesting how weak the reverse denomination is.
	1841-O	Genuine	PCGS 15036924	TOP #20 F-102	Market Acceptable	$14500	Transitional Small O Closed Bud Reverse, Rare AU Grade, Gerry Forting Top 100 Varieties Collection . Greer 101, Discovered after Ahwash published his Encyclopedia. Transitional Small O Closed Bud Reverse. Struck in early 1841 at the New Orleans mint with a left over Closed Bud reverse die from 1840 due to lack of die shipment of the new Open Bud reverse design. Greer indicates that "transitional Large and Small O dimes were struck from leftover 1840-O reverse dies most likely before the arrival of the first reverse dies of 1841 Open Bud which were delivered on Apri 7, 1841. Mint records for 1841 show 160,000 dimes were delivered from New Orleans prior to April of that year. I believe that these were deliveries included the Closed Bud 1841-O dimes, as well as many dated 1840-O. The extreme rarity of both closed bud varieties indicates a very small mintage." Collectors have been attempting for years to cherrypick examples due to substantial premiums in all grades. I consider both the Large and Small O Transitional Closed Bud dimes to be key entries in the Top 100 Liberty Seated Dime Variety set. Small O Closed Bud dimes are more difficult to locate in EF or better with few known in AU and none in mint state. Most will be found with problems due to lengthy time in circulation. This example grades a full AU but has probably seen an old obverse wipe many years ago. The obverse is toned a light golden gray with deeper coloring across Liberty and the right field. The reverse is toned a uniform gun metal gray. Device details are crisp on the reverse allowing for an understanding of the Small O reverse die preservation state (die used to strike 1840-O F-107 dimes) in early 1841. The obverse has strike weakness at the gown line, head and stars 7 and 8. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert and assigned a Genuine designation. The PCGS label reads, "Transitional Rev Sm O Sm Lett, FS-901". I get the Small O labeling by PCGS but not the Small Letters. Regardless of the PCGS Genuine designation, this is one of the finest 1841-O Small O Closed Buds extant and indicative of how rare a certifiable example actually is. A very special offering for the advanced collector who desires the finest numismatic properties.
	1841-O	F15	PCGS 15148249	F-114	Choice	$100	Inexpensive CAC Approved Circulated Type, Choice Original, Mountain View Collection.

A Liberty Seated dime CAC approved type coin as a conversaton piece or whatever reason for purchasing. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	1842-O Medium O	EF45	raw	F-101a	Cleaned	$175	Lapped Dies, Retoned, Light Gray Patina, New Jersey Collection. A classic example of the F-101a variety and die state with lapped obverse and reverse dies. This variety comes with poorly defined head and stars along with erratic reverse wreath leaves. The offered example has seen an old time cleaning resulting is reflective surfaces at the EF45 grade level. Faint hairlines are visible in the obverse fields with most covered by a new layer of gray patina. Removed from a Library of Coin album and off the market for several decades.
	1842-O	VF35	ANACS 2894737	F-105	Original	HOLD $300	Tougher New Orleans Issue, Crusty Gray Patina, Fully Original, Lakeland Collection. Consignor Price Reduction. The early 1840s brought a host of start-up challenges to the New Orleans mint. Seated dimes from the 1840 through 1842 period are known for weak strikes from lapped dies. The F-105 die pairing, with second index finger along shield, comes reasonably well struck for the issue. This Lakeland Collection circulated duplicate has been nicely preserved. Obverse coloring is rose and blue gray that performs well under angled lighting. The reverse harbors greenish shades along with rose-gray. Surfaces have a few ticks consistent with the assigned grade. Housed in ANACS blue label holder.
	1842-O	VF20	PCGS 27402664	F-104	Choice	$300	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.
	1843	EF40	PCGS 46533705	TOP #25 F-102	Original	HOLD $139	Doubled Date, Top 100 Varieties, Light Gray, Fully Struck, AuburnNY Accordian Collection. A popular doubled date variety that is also included in the Top 100 Varieties set. This F-102 example presents bold doubling on all date digits. Steely surfaces are toned a light gray. Strike is complete. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
	1843-O	AU Details	PCGS 30456139	F-101	Cleaned	$3500	New October 18! Rare Grade, Complete Strike, Long Ago Cleaning, Attractively Priced. The 1843 and 1845 New Orleans Liberty Seated dime issues are two of the most challenging early dates to locate in choice original AU let alone Mint State. For the 1843-O issue, PCGS has certified four pieces at the AU50/AU53 grades. One of those examples resides in the Fortin set leaving just three for the rest of the collecting community. These straight graded pieces are currently valued in the $13,000 to $20,000 range. Given the availability situation, this newly consigned AU Details lot is definitely worthy of considered. PCGS has accurately evaluated this example as there is a long ago cleaning with reverse hairlines under the toning. In hand viewing presents a copper-gray patina and a complete strike. Under a bright light, this lot could be mistaken for being original as the toning does appear natural. As a senior sage of the series, this offering is well worth the asking price as a small fraction of a straight graded example. CAC has approved an single AU50, a single AU53 (my collection), and single MS62 and MS65. The approved AU53 could easily be a $30,000 coin which shouild place this newly consigned example into the proper perspective. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) holder. The label reads, "Altered Surfaces, AU Details".
	1844	EF40	PCGS 24908912	F-102	Choice	HOLD $1060	Choice Original, Palos Verdes Collection.. Liberty Seated coinage seems to attract hoarders of this date or that, as surviving populations are low enough that one reasonably amass, over time, a remarkable percentage of the remaining examples. The Terry Brand collection of 1844 dimes stands as the greatest hoard of them all, numbering 612 pieces in total. These were unsuccessfully offered as a single lot by Heritage Auctions in July 2003, and were eventually sold piecemeal by Heritage. While we can debate the wisdom of attempting to sell the entire hoard at one go, there is no question that this group represented a dogged effort over many years on the part of the collector. This pleasing, CAC-approved example reveals rich russet and charcoal patina in the fields and recessed areas, which contrasts neatly with the silver-colored central devices, stars, and legend. F-102, the business strike die pair, with an upward sloping date. The CAC census is 68 coins, and the CAC guide value is $1,150. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval.
	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.
	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.
	1844	VF20	NGC 3214294001		Choice	$600	Little Orphan Annie, Thick Crusty Patina, Gun Metal Gray-Blue, CAC Approval.. Purchased way back at the Spring Baltimoe show, this 1844 Little Orphan Annie dime finally arrives to the price list. Purchased for inventory due to the gun metal gtray-blue toning that is further enhanced by peripheral gold. Strike is typical with even wear. Collectors can always find 1844 dimes in circulated grades, but CAC approval quickly thins the hundreds that returned to the market via the Terry Brand hoard. Only 68 total at CAC in all grades. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1845-O	EF45	PCGS 16348623	F-101	Choice	$2000	Challenging Higher Grade Offering, Hammered Strike, Crusty Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces, Cleveland Collection. The 1845 New Orleans date remains under appreciated in the Liberty Seated dime series. Examples in EF 45 are scarce while AU specimens present a huge challenge. GFRC is pleased to be offering this choice duplicate from the Cleveland Collection. What a well balanced and pleasing example for the discriminating collector! One immediately notes the hammered strike with high relief devices and full visual access to the rusted obverse die. Surfaces are covered with a thick crusty gray skin that exposes embedded orange-gold during bright light inspection. There is one vertical contact mark on the reverse at the upper left wreath that is ancient and fully toned over. Rusted verdigris surrounds the date and is further testament to the strict originality. Yes, this piece has been to CAC and was not stickered as a borderline coin and deserves another submission. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	1849-O Large O	VF30	raw	F-101 R3	Market Acceptable	$185	Typical Large O Strike, Retoned Surfaces, New Jersey Collection. Yes, the 1849-O F-101 Large O dimes are typically with weak obverse strikes including flat heads and stars. Locating a fully struck F-101 1849 New Orleans will take years of searching. This example has seen a long ago clean and is complete retoned and attractive gray with rose and blue hues. I've designated this example as "market acceptance" due to the quality of the secondary toning. There are no blemishes whatsoever. Housed in Library of Coin album for decades and fresh to market.
	1849-O Large O	VF30	NGC 4206292008	F-101b	Original	HOLD $250	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.
	1852-O	EF40	ANACS 4729089	F-101	Original	$450	Better New Orleans Date, Light Gray Patina, Lakeland Collection. This Lakeland Collection 1852-O dime release is a better date with mintage of only 430,000. Light gray patina covers both sides while the obverse strike is completely executed. A 10x inspection confirmed the unabraded surfaces This near-choice example has been well preserved and seeks a new home in a Seated date and mintmark collection. Housed in ANACS gold label holder.
	1852-O	VF30	PCGS 19224277		Choice	$350	Popular New Orleans Date, Old Album Toning, Choice Surfaces. GFRC images can only hint to the colorful old album obverse toning. Passing the obverse under angled lighting exposes center rose-blue surrounded by rose-gold at the stars. The reverse is toned a natural coin gray. Surfaces are well preserved and more than pleasing at the certified grade. 1852 New Orleans strikes continue to be popular with specimens not lasting long on the price list. A fresh buyback from long term client and ready for a new home.
	1853 Hubbed Arrows & Date	AU Details	CACG 107466200	F-115	Choice	HOLD $350	New October 13! Rotated Reverse, Frosted Luster, Choice Original. A documented rotated reverse die for the 1853 With Arrows date that is the 1853 Hubbed Arrows & Date F-115 plate coin with The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. There is considerable die erosion behind the date and denticles directly below the date digits. This is a frosted example with mostly rose toning a peripheral blue ring on the reverse. Overall, an attractively toned example. Previously housed in ANACS AU58 holder and cracked out for early CACG investor submission. Now housed in new CAC Grading (2023) holder with AU Details, Questionable Toning designation.
	1854-O With Arrows	EF40	PCGS 29200301	TOP #38 F-102	Market Acceptable	$1275	Shattered Obverse, Top 100 Varieties Semi-Key Date, Golden Retoned Surfaces, So Close to Original, Accurately Graded, Cleveland Collection. Consignor Price Reduction. An important Top 100 Varieties offering to consider. Some history is in order. This is the second time that GFRC has handled this 1854-O Shattered Obverse dime that resides in a PCGS EF Details - Cleaning holder. Surfaces are slightly dull in appearance as would be expected for a silver piece graded EF. The entire dime is covered with a uniform golden patina that becoming darker at the rims. Again normal for an original silver coin. The issue is the golden toning that results when a dipped coin sits in a paper 2x2 envelope for many years. Some silver coins will acquire golden coloring rather than grays. This is the case here as the offered F-102 dime has no signs of any mechanical cleaning. Eye appeal is strong for the variety with bold shelf metal through the date. There are no blemishes whatsoever to mention. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder with PCGS Genuine Cleaning XF Cleaning label. From the Cleveland Collection with in hand inspection being recommended being drawing any negative conclusions.
	1854-O With Arrows	EF40	PCGS 80804072	F-106	Original	$200	Original, Steven Vitale Collection.. The Vitale Collection 1854-O dime certainly illustrates the F-106 polished reverse die variety well!. Note how the legend and mintmark are partially effaced. Surfaces are toned a medium gray while the reflectance holds this one back from a choice rating. The reserve has been set accordingly. A cool example for the die variety specialist. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1854-O With Arrows, Shattered Obverse	F15	PCGS 45001850	TOP #38 F-102	Choice	$975	Shattered Obverse, Ebony-Gray Toning, Top 100 Varieties, Lakeland Collection. One of the most dramatic terminal die states in the Liberty Seated dime series is the 1854-O F-102 with a completely shattered lower obverse. The obverse die has broken apart leaving a shelf metal ridge through the date digits and both arrows. This new Lakeland Collection example is consistent with the latest die states seen. A choice example with ebony-gray toning that exposes rose device shades under a bright light. The surfaces are remarkably free of abrasions regardless of the extended time in circulation. Part of the Top 100 Varieties set for those so inclined. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder. The label does not capture the die variety attribution, however this variety is well known and recognized as such.
	1856-O	EF45	PCGS 28172766	F-108	Choice	$280	New October 29! Medium O, Choice Original, Frosty Luster, Light Gray Patina, Conservative Grading, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. This Seated dime features the third Medium O reverse employed by the New Orleans mint during 1856. On the F-108 reverse, the Medium O mintmark is positioned left and low. Die clashing is visible between DI(ME) and above the lower leaf to the right of the mintmark. This conservatively graded example was purchased at the 1996 ANA World's Fair of Money show and subsequently graded. Soft frosty luster is pleasing and more consistent with an AU grade level. A typical weak strike on the wreath leaves mostly likely accounts for the EF45 grade. A top quality example that will please the most selective collector. This piece is the F-108 plate coin within The Definite Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2023-2014) holder without a CAC attempt. Taking back in trade at the Fall 2023 Manchester NH coin expo.
	1856-O	EF40	PCGS 12286426	TOP #43 F-104	Original	$225	Repunched Date UP, Top 100 Varieties, Rose Toning, New Orleans Collection. 1856 brought two significantly repunched date dies to the New Orleans mint. This New Orleans Collection offering is the F-104 die pairing with a sharply updated sloping date and repunching below the 56 digits. A fair early die state example with the repunched digits being easily seen with a 10x. Surfaces present steely textures with angled lighting. Light rose shades cover the obverse with deeper hues on the reverse. A strong example that is priced fairly. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	1856-S	AU Details	raw		Cleaned	$2000	New October 25! Complete Strike, Light Gray, Long Ago Clean. 1856 San Francisco struck dimes continue to be in high demand as the first year mint issue for the series along with a limited mintage of only 70,000 pieces. PCGS has certified only 17 in all AU grades and we can bet that a fair amount present borderline surfaces. This Oregon Beaver release is an unquestionable AU specimen in terms of wear, but has seen some type of environmental contact on the reverse resulting in faint granularity. If building a Dansco or Whitman album set, there is a good chance that this date is not present. This offering would be a great addition given the complete strike and bold devices at a discounted price.
