Other than the 1861-S, the 1862 San Francisco issue is the second most challenging Civil War era date to locate. The Lakeland Collection has released this duplicate from this Civil War centric collection after a recent upgrade. Please have a close look at the images which accurately illustrate this offering. Surfaces are toned a light gray and are found to be unabraded when reviewed with a 10x. Strike is typical for the issue with weakness at the head and surrounding legend. A thoroughly pleasing example for Civil War buffs. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	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.

Surfaces are essentially unabraded with a single faint line from the obverse rim to the base. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	1864	VF35	PCGS 39135299	F-102a	Choice	$2100	New October 23! Rare Date in Circulated Grades, Choice Original, Crusty Gray, Lakeland Collection. Let's start the description for this choice original 1864 Seated dime with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. I can't tell you the number of times that Civil War Philadelphia strikes have cross my desk with problematic surfaces. This example has been stored in a sulphur laced paper envelope resulting in thick gray patina. A no question business strike with weakness at the upper left reverse wreath. Submitted to CAC without approval. I suspect that, if holdered as a VF30, this piece would have been approved. Frankly, surfaces trump grade on this important offering. Freshly graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder. Price guides numbers continue to increase for all Civil War Philadelphia low mintage dates, especially in circulated grades due to rarity.
	1864-S	VF35	CACG 163455730	F-101	Choice	$845	New November 18! Choice Preservation, Crusty Gray, So Pleasing!. 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.

An opportunty to add a rock solid San Francisco Civil War date to a collection. Housed in new CAC Grading (2023) holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.
	1865-S	VF30	PCGS 32749228	F-103	Choice	HOLD $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.
	1865-S	VF25	PCGS 32683336	F-104	Choice	$700	Choice Original, Palos Verdes Collection.. A rainbow of rich patina covers the obverse, with alternating bands of emerald, gold, and rust-red shade. The toning progression is without question natural and worthy of study as a reference example. The reverse reveals lighter hue with lilac and tan brown color evident. The head is near smooth, as is often seen on dimes of this year. F-104, with an upward sloping date and characteristic weakness in OF AMERICA. As with most San Francisco dimes of the 1860s, this is a low-mintage issue, with 175,000 pieces produced. PCGS has certified 203 coins total, and the PCGS price guide value is $800. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1865-S	VF20	PCGS 36266041	F-101a R7	Choice	HOLD $950	F-101a, Large Depression Below Shield and on Maple Leaf, Choice Original, Crusty Gray-Rose Patina, Blemish Free, Conservatively Graded, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. Pittsburgh ANA Price Reduction - In his Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Dimes, Greer indicates that two examples of Variety 101a were seen with a large depression at the lower left of the shield. To date, no explanation has been offered for this anomaly but a filled die with foreign substance could be assumed. I have listed two F-101a specimens in the Seated Dime die variety "web-book." The first is the Greer plate coin (VF30) with obverse depression. A second example, grading EF45, surfaced during 2014 with same obverse depression below the shield and as on the Greer variety plate coin. However, a closer examination of the reverse also revealed a second depression on maple leaf in the lower left wreath directly below (D)IME. Therefore there are two points on the obverse and reverse dies where a foreign material was positioned. Surfaces are perfectly natural and choice without blemishes. A crusty gray-rose patina covers both sides. The particular example dates back to the Brian Greer Guidebook on Liberty Seated Dimes as published by DLRC during 1992. This dime was used for the No. 101 macro plate image on Page 109. Purchased directly from Geer during November 1996 and residing in the Fortin collection since that time. This dime is also the F-101a plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors. Conservatively graded as VF20 and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.
	1866 Jewelry Piece	VF Details	raw		Choice	$250	Victorian Era Jewelry Button, Crusty Original and Choice, AuburnNY Accordian Collection. The AuburnNY Collection is back with a special treat with these 1866 dated half dimes and dime. These are Victorian Era jewelry pieces are buttons with Seated coinage obverse side soldered onto pins. Based on this positioning, the obverses are protected from incremental wear once placed into jewelry status. We have a crusty gray 1866-P (yes, the date slopes up) and two 1866 half dimes with less wear but similair crust. The consignor and GFRC have done our best to price these antiquities but offers are welcomed for the three pieces as one lot.
	1867-S	VF30	PCGS 31339277	F-102	Original	$525	Original, Even Charcoal Gray, Accurately Graded. . Uniform medium gray patina covers the surfaces of this original 1867 San Francisco dime. Obverse has a light region in the toning to the left of Liberty. There are two faint lines on the obverse that are fully toned over. Few 1867-S examples come to market in a year's time as so scarce in all grades. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder without a CAC attempt.
	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
	1868	VG10	PCGS 45595738	TOP #51 F-103	Original	$200	Repunched Date, Mottled Gray Patina, Top 100 Varieties #51, AuburnNY Accordian Collection. I've not seen the 1868 F-103 repunched date die variety for quite sometime and had all but forgotten about its existence. This variety has turned out to be very scarce and one of the challenging dates in the Top 100 Varieties set. This example is accurately graded with mottled gray toning on both sides. The repunching is obvious under a 10x. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder.
	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.
	1869-S	VF35	PCGS 80804078	F-101a	Original	$275	Original, Steven Vitale Collection.. 460,000 dimes dated 1869 were struck at the San Francisco mint that year with two different mintmark styles. The F-101 pairing, the offered example, has a small thin S mintmark while the second reverse is easily attributed by a small weak S. The F-101 die pair will become clashed before major die degradation takes place. In this late F-101a die state, the obverse exhibits considerable die wear and heavy metal flow lines between the rim and all the letters in UNITED STATES. This Vitale example is well preserved with consistent gray patina. Several surface anomalies limit the GFRC quality rating. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1870	VF30	PCGS 46128609	F-107	Choice	HOLD $90	Choice Original, Palos Verdes Collection.. Pleasing rim toning is the hallmark of this affordable Philadelphia example, with ample aqua and russet patina present in the legend and above the wreath. F-107, with a level date and the 1 positioned above three dentils. The PCGS population is 132 pieces, and the PCGS price guide value in VF30 is $65. Although priced as a type coin in the Guide Book, the lower PCGS population suggests this issue is more challenging than it might appear at first glance. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
	1870-S	VF25	PCGS 80653832	F-101	Original	HOLD $950	New October 18! Rare San Francisco Issue, Unmolested Surfaces, Accurately Graded, Choice Overall. Soft reverse strikes are a chronic issue for the 1870 San Francisco date. Given its low mintage of 50,000 and heavy west coast circulation, few strictly original are available for present day collectors. Many of the examples handled by GFRC had one issue or another. I'm pleased to be offering this newly consigned example which garners a GFRC-Choice quality rating for its natural coin gray surfaces. Other than a single tick on the flag of the 7 digit, the surfaces are entirely unabraded. PCGS has certified 8 at the offered grade but please conduct a check of the Sales Archive to understand how lenient PCGS has been for this issue. I'm enjoying handling this example which deserves a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1871-CC	VF35	PCGS 11606377	F-101	Original	$15000	Original, Palos Verdes Collection.. Rose-gray fields admit lighter patina in the protected areas of this evenly toned Carson City rarity. The uniform color suggests retoning after an old cleaning, but the originality remains within the PCGS standard. Some micro-chatter is evident in the fields. F-101, the only die pair, with mintmark punched to the left. This reverse is reused on Carson City dimes through 1874. The PCGS population is 77 coins, and PCGS price guide value is $15,000, advancing to $25,000 in EF40. The four early Carson City pieces (1871-1874) in the Liberty Seated dime series are well-known as the series keys. Among circulated pieces, the 1874-CC stands atop the group in terms of rarity, while the 1871-CC and 1873-CC are roughly tied for the next highest honors. The present coin is superior to most of the examples one will see on a bourse floor, straight-graded and free of the typical surface porosity seen on early CC dimes. Note, the holder is well worn and reveals some haze. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. Previously from the Newtown collection, sold by GFRC in November 2022 at $16,500.
	1871-S	EF40	PCGS 29550951	F-101	Choice	HOLD $600	New October 18! Noteworthy Preservation, Choice Original, Later Die State with No Repunching.. The 1871-S F-101 die pairing, with repunching on the 18 digits, is the most frequently seen die pairing for the date. Later F-101 die state sees the elimination of the repunching with the low date punch being an alternative attribution point. This newly consigned example is quite sweet and will please the most selective collector of the series. Surface are toned an even coin gray with darker speckled toning on the obverse. Strike is typical for the issue, especially the weak reverse devices. Worthy of a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as a thoroughly delightful example at the certified grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) holder with CAC approval.
	1872	MS Details	CACG 270338509	F-102	Market Acceptable	$275	New October 14! Triple Punched 2, Satiny Luster, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. They say that you are never too old to learn something new. The initial CAC Grading submission has brought a new learning with respect to surfaces as is the case with the 1872 F-102 web-book plate coin. This piece has a steely-frosted "sheen" that CAC did not like along with another similar submission. Purchase raw from the 1990 Lovejoy as an MS63. Housed in new CAC Grading (2023) holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards. Ex. Allen F. Lovejoy Collection, Stacks 55th Anniversary Sale, 1990
	1872	AU Details	PCGS 37567993	TOP #58 F-109	Original	$650	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	EF45	PCGS 31729674	F-112	Original	$400	Original, Palos Verdes Collection.. While GFRC does not believe the toning on this coin is real, we unhesitatingly describe it as spectacular. The fields present a fluorescent headlight, exhibiting concentric rings of vivid fuchsia, gold, and royal blue patina. Such color is rarely encountered on straight-graded pieces, and we do not recommend bidding with the assumption that the toning is natural. However, the coin does reside in a straight-graded holder, and, as aesthetic appeal is in the eye of the beholder, we suspect that at least one person will bid above the PCGS price guide value of $90. PCGS notes 178 coins total. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	1872	EF40	PCGS 18724749	F-105	Original	$750	Doubled Die Reverse, Original, Steven Vitale Collection.. A spectacular doubled die error on the reverse of an 1872 dime was discovered by Dave Thomas during April 1999 and published in the Gobrecht Journal by Tom DeLorey in July 2003. The reverse die was hubbed twice with the second hubbing being rotated approximately 175 degrees from the initial hubbing. Both the obverse and reverse dies are heavily clashed resulting in a treasure trove of attribution diagnostics. This Vitale Collection example is toned a light silver-gray with peripheral gold. Surfaces are minimally abraded and pleasing. Nearly all F-105 examples will be found with a partial head as is the case with this lot. Listed in the Top 100 Varieties set and worthy of an aggressive bid. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. The label documents the die variety as DDR FS-801.
	1872 Double Die Reverse	VF30	PCGS 13624472	F-105	Original	$425	Double Die Reverse, Thick Crusty Gray Patina, Near-Choice Original, Under Construction Collection. This 1872 F-105 Double Due Reverse offering is unquestionably original due to thick crusty gray patina on both sides. The erroneous 180 degree second hubbing can be easily identifiedby residual design elements between DIM(E) and the right corn husk. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. The PCGS label reads DDR FS-801.
	1872	VF20	raw	F-115	Original	$265	Double Die Reverse, Second Die Pairing, Crusty Original Gray, Blemish Free. 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.
	1872 Double Die Reverse	F15	raw	TOP #56 F-105	Original	$195	Doubled Die Reverse, Original Gray with Ebony, Typical Strike, AuburnNY Accordian Collection. A mid grade example of the 1872 double die reverse. Reverse die was hubbed twice with first hubbing 180 degrees out of phase with second hubbing. Remnants of the first hubbing are seen in the lower right wreath to the right of the lower corn ears. Surfaces are original with base layer of gray patina along with ebony highlights. There are a few scattered tick to consider. Listed in the Top 100 Varieties as #56. From the AuburnNY Accordian Collection.
	1872-CC	VF35	PCGS 32053012	F-101	Choice	$8500	Choice Original, Palos Verdes Collection.. The Palos Verdes offering includes a full set of the early Carson City dimes, a rare feat in the sphere of Liberty Seated collecting. Moreover, the average grade of the set is near-EF, whereas most collectors would be more than satisfied with lower-graded pieces. Deep gray patina covers the obverse fields of this GFRC Choice-rated example, complemented by rose-maroon patina in the protected areas. Reverse silver color outlines the slate-covered wreath, surrounding russet-plum hue in the center. Surfaces are smooth for the grade and free of the usual roughness encountered on Carson City silver pieces. F-101, the only die pair, with a level date. The first C in the mintmark is lower than the second, an important diagnostic for all 1871-1874 Carson City dimes, which share a common reverse die. The PCGS population is 107 coins, and the PCGS guide value is $10,000 in VF35, advancing to $15,000 in EF40. Opportunities to acquire an 1872-CC Liberty Seated dime are infrequent, and GFRC has handled only seven pieces since 2015. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	1872-CC	VF30	PCGS 81637027	F-101	Choice	$6000	Choice Original, Steven Vitale Collection.. Of the "big four" key date Carson City dimes, the 1872-CC is probably the easiest to locate given a mintage of 35,480. The Vitale Colletion specimen is a lovely VF30 certified example that warrants close scrutiny as assigned a GFRC-Choice quality rating. Angled ligthing exposes steely reflective fields that I believe are 100% original. Toning is a light silver gray. with slightly darker shading in the right obverse field. Some mint frost is still evident in the protected areas. This is a compelling offering that deserves aggressive bidding. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1873 Doubled Die Obverse	VF35	PCGS 16664662	F-103	Choice	$2950	Doubled Die Obverse, Choice Original, Steven Vitale Collection.. This 1873 Double Die Obverse example offers incredible insights into the extensive doubling in the shield as the strike is hammered in the obverse center. The 1873 F-103 doubled obverse die variety was discovered by Kam Ahwash, but not published in his 1981 encyclopedia. This variety is considered as having an R-6 rarity and is infrequently encountered, bringing a significant premium when located. The Vitale example is strictly original with choice surfaces that are toned rose-gray with embedded gold that appears under angled lighting. Though not CAC approved, this lot is significant and should garner aggressive bidding. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. The label documents the die variety as Doubled Die Obverse.
	1873 With Arrows	VG10	PCGS 38056856	F-103	Choice	$1100	Doubled Die Obverse, Crusty Olive-Gray, Bold Shield Doubling, Dallas Collection. The 1873 F-103 Doubled Die Obverse is a very scarce die variety with rotational die doubling of the obverse shield to the south and east. No examples are known in Mint State with the finest being Simpson/Gardner's PCGS AU58 with $20,000+ price at auction. This fresh example, from the Dallas Collection, is very well preserved with an olive-gray crusty patina consistent on both sides. The shield doubling is quite pronounced when viewing with a 10x. Reverse devices are weakly struck which is consistent with those previously seen. Listed in the Liberty Seated Dime Top 100 Varieties Set as #60. In summary, a strong example at the certified grade that warrants a trip to CAC. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with Arrows DDO FS-101, F-103 attribution.
	1873 With Arrows	G06	PCGS 29820304	TOP #60 F-103	Original	HOLD $299	Double Die Obverse, Original Gray Surfaces, Top 100 Varieties #60, AuburnNY Accordian Collection. Price Reduction - May 21, 2020 - Another popular Top 100 Varieties set listing with bold doubling of the upper shield lines. This example is accurate graded with full reverse rims and nearly complete obverse rims. Full rims on both obverse and reverse are typically required for a VG08 designation. Surfaces have honest circulation and a light gray patina. The shield doubling is visible at the upper right top of the shield. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. The PCGS label carries the appropriate attribution with "Arrows DDO FS-101, F-103." A quality low grade offering that is strictly original from the AuburnNY Accordian Collection.
	1873-CC With Arrows	VF30	PCGS 10870453	F-101	Choice	$15000	Choice Original, Palos Verdes Collection.. All of the early Carson City dimes are desirable, simply as a matter of rarity, but many survivors exhibit roughness or other surface issues, byproducts of planchets that were often overweight in silver. This example presents a coin gray palette, overlaid by tannish brown and blue-green patina. Wispy traces of crust reside in the protected areas, most heavily at the date, and serve to outline the design elements. A couple marks within the reverse lettering are noted, in addition to field disturbances to the left of Liberty. Still, the surfaces are above average for an 1873-CC dime, and this remains a pleasing example for the grade. F-101, the only die pair, with a high date that slopes downward slightly. PCGS has certified 97 coins in all grades, and assigns a value of $15,000 in VF30. With the value advancing to $35,000 in EF40, the present offering represents an ideal collector grade. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	1874-CC With Arrows	EF45	PCGS 25309789	F-101	Choice	$45000	Choice Original, Palos Verdes Collection.. Early Carson City dimes are well recognized as the stopper coins of the Liberty Seated type, and among these the 1874-CC is the most challenging, and indeed the key to the entire series. The GFRC sales archive records six sales since inception, indicating a market velocity of less than one coin per year. At higher grades the situation is even more restrictive, with only a single coin above VF25 in the group, a Market Acceptable AU50 piece that sold in 2017. Clearly, the opportunity to acquire a GFRC-rated Choice EF45 example represents an important moment. This piece exhibits obverse rose-tan patina framed by an aqua crescent, while the reverse is more lightly toned with russet-maroon color at the rim. Handling marks in the lower right obverse field are consistent with the technical grade. More importantly, the originality is strong, and the fields are free of related hairlines. Every collector has to decide for themself when to push for a coin, and even for the most advanced collectors this piece would not represent a trivial purchase. However, after this piece is sold, there is no telling when an equal example will come to market, and potential bidders will do well to carefully consider this infrequent opportunity. F-101, the only die pair, with the all-important identifying die crack through the mintmark. PCGS notes 68 coins total, including five pieces in AU and five examples in Mint State. NGC notes 16 pieces overall, with six coins in AU and a single example in Mint State. The PCGS price guide value is $50,000 in EF45, advancing to $75,000 in AU50. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.

Another CACG investor submission that is part of the initial price list offering. An unquestionably original Type 2 reverse example with frosted luster and superb ring toning. Peripheral blues nice frame the center orange-gold on both sides. This is an early die state example with no reverse die cracks.

Housed in new CAC Grading (2023) holder with MS Details, Scratched, Reverse designation.
	1876 Type 1 Reverse	EF40	PCGS 42616028	F-121	Original	$185	Repunched 76, Steely Gray, Near-Choice, AuburnNY Accordian Collection.

An important opportunity to acquire a higher circulated grade 1876-CC F-112 example, an R7 variety in VF or better. The F-112 die variety results when the F-106 reverse, previously paired with double die obverse, is subsequently paired with a fresh obverse die. That die pairing was brief and resulted in varying degrees of reverse rotation on the few survivors seen. A handful of F-112 examples have been located after years of searching by Liberty Seated dime die variety specialists. This example is a duplicate from the Cleveland Collection after purchasing the 1876-CC F-112 plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors ($1350). This duplicate grades full EF45 but have been cleaned in the past. Surfaces have retoned a consistent rose-gray. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 holder with label reading, PCGS Genuine, Cleaning - EF Details.
