	1871	EF40	raw	F-106 R6	Original	HOLD $95	New January 2! Second 1 Repunched Down, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A very scarce 1871 die pairing with repunching noted above the top of the second 1 digit in the date. Actually, this is the example seen during decades of research and also operating GFRC. This example has been dipped with secondary gold toning beginning to form. A unique piece to some extent and fairly priced for what it is. The plate coin within the LIberty Seated dime die variety online reference and purchased November 1993 from Jason Carter. This lot ships in its original cardboard 2x2 with Fortin notes.
	1872	AU Details	PCGS 37567993	TOP #58 F-109	Original	HOLD $495	New January 18! Scarce Proof Strike, Misplaced 2 Digit in Base, Greer Plate Coin, Original Surfaces, Ancient Rim Filiing, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. Brian Greer plate coin. The 1872 F-109 and F-109a die varieties features a misplaced 2 digit in base. F-109 catalogs the very scarce proof strike while F-109a captures subsequent circulation strikes. This variety was discovered by Kam Ahwash, as a proof strike, and first listed by Greer. It is further listed as part of the Top 100 Varieties set. The offered example was purchased directly from Brian Greer during December 1992 and has remained in raw condition in my collection until recent grading. A no question proof strike that would grade PF62. However, there is an ancient rim filing below the date that is completely toned over and was not noticed until the piece came back with a PCGS Details grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with Rim Damage, AU Details. The 1872 F-109 plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors commonly known as the Seated Dime web-book. The 1872 F-109 variety is also listed in the Top 100 Varieties set. Definitely a piece of numismatic history regardless of the ancient rim filing.
	1872	VF20	raw	F-115	Original	$165	New January 18! Double Die Reverse, Second Die Pairing, Crusty Original Gray, Blemish Free. GFRC Cost Basis! - The second obverse die pairing later identified after initial publicity surrounding the F-105 die pair and placement into Top 100 Varieties set. Toning is an even light to medium gray on this rare variety. 1872 double die reverses were cherrypicked after Coin World announcement and few are coming to the market. This is chance to acquire an original and problem free mid grade example at a reasonable price.
	1876-S Type 1 Reverse	EF40	raw	TOP #69 F-101	Original	HOLD $265	New January 19! Repunched Date, Web-Book Plate Coin, Top 100 Varieties, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. On the 1876-S Type 1 Reverse F-101 the date is repunched in a counter clockwise direction. Repunching is evident below the flag and base of the 1 digit and within and above the lower loop of the 6 digit. Th reverse is severely cracked below the wreath and ribbon ends. This repunched date variety is included in the Top 100 Varieties set and has proven to be more elusive than expected. Few examples have appeared since 2003 and none are known in Mint State. The two specimens in the Indiana and Cleveland Collection Top 100 sets are both graded EF45 as incremental information. This is the plate coin within the Liberty Seated dime die variety online reference. A green piece of dirt is noted in the right obverse field that I have not attempted to remove. Purchased February 2002 from Chris Pilliod and ships in its original cardboard 2x2.
	1877-S	EF45	raw	F-106	Choice	HOLD $80	New January 19! Small Block S, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The crusty original 1877-S F-106 dime was purchased April 1992 and became the die variety reference piece until being later upgraded. This piece has been hanging out in the bank box and needs a new home. This dime ships in its original cardboard 2x2 with Fortin notes.
	1879	MS62PL	CACG 610009919		Choice	HOLD $1000	Prooflike, Repunched Date, Near-Gem at Grade. CACG grading standards are very strick to the point that their certified coins are higher quality that those being stickered in PCGS and NGC holders. Case in point is the superb 1879 F-105 lot that has secured the coveted Prooflike certification. The mirrors are sharply reflective under a bright light and provide a nearly cameo contrast to the frosted motifs. Light rose-gold is noted on both side with a deep blue arc on the lower reverse. Light field chatter is consisten with the grade though the eye appeal is substantial for an MS62. CAC has approved five prooflike MS62 examples with a single certified by CACG (this lot) though the population does not reflect such. I will be in touch with CACG to have this corrected. Housed in new CACG holder and graded to strict standards employed for CAC stickering approval.
	1891-O	VF25	raw	F-133	Choice	HOLD $350	New January 19! Massive Reverse Die Cud, Discovery Piece, Future Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. Residing in the Fortin bank box is this 1891-O dime with massive reverse cuds that are not documented in the Liberty Seated dime die variety online reference. The obverse die cracks through STATES into Liberty's head suggest the obverse die is the F-107 pairing with the O/Horizontal O reverse. On this example the mintmark is partial and plate very high in between the ribbon ends, a position that is unseen to date. Now this example appears with massive retained cuds on the lower left wreath. Surfaces are 100% original and covered with a thick crusty patination. I owe it to the Liberty Seated dime community to get this piece posted in the web-book as F-133. Ideal for the terminal die state collector.
