36678103 		V-1
 Original $985 New December 11! Rare Civil War Philadelphia Date, Original Surfaces, Gray-Gold Patina, No Question Business Strike, Accurately Graded, Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection. Report mintage for the 1864 date is 48,000 but had been disputed by Kam Ahwash. Ahwash speculated that the true mintage is closer to 14,500 based on his research per Al Blythe. A key date in the Liberty Seated half dime series regardless. Let's fast forward to CoinFacts and PCGS population report. PCGS has graded only three in EF40 and another three in EF45 and eight total in all AU (AU50 thru AU58) grades. This offering is strictly original and a no question business strike. Surfaces are covered with gray-gold patina that is lighter in the reverse. Strike is weak at the upper left wreath. Accurately graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Another key date half dime from the Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection. The few CoinFacts auction record that exist have the 1864 half dime at a four figure coin in EF40 or better.

 Original $495 New December 11! V-4, Repunched Date, Crusty Original Golden Gray Surfaces, Well Struck, Accurately Graded, Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection. Mintage for 1865 San Francisco strikes is reported at 120,000 but low survival rates has made this date challenging to locate in higher circulated grades and mint state. The V-4 die variety, with repunching on the 18 digits is very scarce and considered to be full R5 rarity in EF/AU. This V-4 example was pulled directly from the Dr. Peterson Dansco album and submitted to PCGS and CAC. Now it is ready for a long term home in another advanced collection. Surfaces are strictly original and covered with crusty gray-gold patina. Under a bright light, the reverse offers residual luster. Obverse toning is just too crusty to allow luster to peek through. Obverse strike is nearly complete with some weakness at Liberty's head while the reverse is completely struck up. Reverse die appears well worn with a bold die crack from the left ribbon end to rim below. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

The Capped Bust dime denomination key date with small mintage of 100,000 pieces. This date saw heavy circulation and a result very low survival rate in VF20 or better.

GFRC is pleased to offer a choice original G06 example with just honest wear and gray patina. There is nice contrast between the darker grade fields and lighter main devices. Rims are complete on both sides along with sufficient remaining device details at the assigned grade level. There are two ancient micro lines on the obverse mentioned for complete accuracy. Housed in new 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval. A special offering from the Osprey Collection that warrants special consideration. Please note that the white lines on the obverse are holder scratches. There was insufficient time to edit out all of these lines but be assured that they are on the holder and not the coin.

A near gem original example of the Large over Small Arrows die variety for the 1874 Philadelphia date. Eye appeal is high given the steely surfaces that emit residual steely luster under a light source. Toning is attractive with a intermixed light grays, gold and some aquamarine on the obverse while a gray-rose center is nicely framed by blue and gold rings on the reverse. This offering is entirely free of blemishes too. Strike is nearly complete with full obverse devices and just a touch of weakness at the eagle's lower left facing leg. Housed in mid 1990s ANACS old white holder. Another quality Liberty Seated half dollar offering from the Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection that warrants immediately attention. I believe this piece will cross at PCGS and will also be a strong candidate for CAC approval.

 Choice $950 New December 6! WB-101, Undergraded, Strong Mirrors, Reflective Cartwheel Luster, Rose-Blue Patina, Substantial Eye Appeal, Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection. I really like this 1881 proof Liberty Seated half dollar offering from the Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection and believe the buyer will be thoroughly pleased. Bright light viewing reveals an undergraded situation while in its current ANACS PF62 old white holder. Liberty Seated proof coinage graded at current standards will have some type of serious or distraction impairment at the PF62 grade level This is not the case with this 1881 half. Mirrors are sharp and emit serious reflective cartwheel luster under a bright light. Obverse patina is fairly thick with gray-rose coloring and peripheral blues. On the otherhand, the reverse patina is mostly blue coloring and thin. As a result, the mirrored fields emit stunning reflective luster that could be blinding if the light source is too powerful. I'm not joking or exaggerating! With a 10x loupe, I see a few micro wispy hairlines in the right obverse field that are more consitent with a PF63 grade level. In summary, this Dr. Glenn Peterson offering is well above average in quality for the assigned grade and should be immediately scooped up by a knowledgeable collector.

GFRC is pleased to present the second finest known example of the Large over Small Date 1876 die variety! An extremely rare double date variety first listed by Wiley and Bugert in their Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars (DLRC Press). Since the Wiley/Bugert announcement in the early 1990s, few examples have surfaced with Bugert current indicating that approximately twelve (12) pieces are known in all grades. This AU55 graded example offers strong diagnostics with the regular half dollar date punch properly placed over the erroneous double dime date punch undertype. The undertype is clearly visible in the upper loop of the final 8 digit. The earlier 6 digit can still be seen behind the final 6 digit. This outstanding example has a boldly mirrored obverse that emits serious reflective cartwheel luster. The reverse fields have a frosty texture with ample cartwheel luster. Peripheral gold nicely frames the untoned centers on both sides. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. The PCGS label captures the die variety as follows; Lg/Sm Date FS-301 (FS-007.4). An opportunity for the serious Liberty Seated half dollar variety specialist to acquire this challenging variety as cherrypicking one could take decades of searching. From an anonymous consignor who purchased the finest known example (AU58) from GFRC.

$335 		New December 4! V-4, Repunched Date, Rare Variety, Golden-Gray Patina, Faint Obverse Hairlines, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection . An attractive surviving 1865-S specimen from a mintage of 120,000. Obverse is well struck while reverse has weakness at the upper wreath. Both dies are heavily clashed with die cracking on the upper reverse. A golden gray skin is uniform across the obverse while the reverse shows the same coloring but in lighter shades. Residual luster is evident on both sides under a bright light. Rotational repunching on the 1 and 5 digits is bold under a 10x loupe. Why the PCGS cleaned designation? Under a bright light, there are very faint horizontal micro hairlines within the toning at the date punch and addition vertical hairlines in the right obverse field. The reverse is problem free. Given the presence of these faint hairlines, the PCGS designation is appropriate. From the Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection and freshly graded in 2015 style holder.

Low Mintage Civil War Philadelpha Strike, Frosty Luster, Aquamarine Gold Patina, Fully Struck, Faint Obverse Field Hairlines, AU55 Details, Dr. Glenn Peterson Collection. Civil War ending strike with mintage of only 10,000. Attractive aquamarine gold patina covers both sides. Strike is well executed with complete legend lettering and all reverse wreath devices being exactly defined. Under a bright light, both sides exhibits reflective luster with some cartwheel effects on the reverse. PCGS has graded only 17 examples in all AU grades. Why the PCGS cleaned designation? Armed with a 10x loupe and bright light, I carefully inspected both sides to see what PCGS did not like. All I could find were a few ancient micro hairlines in the right obverse field under the toning. This lovely and rare Philadelphia should be in a straight graded holder based on what I've seen graded during the past few years. Let's go with a strong Market Acceptable quality rating.

 Original $235 New December 4! Better San Francisco Date, Satiny Luster, . 1867 San Francisco strikes sport a mintage of 120,000 and are scarce at the AU grade level. When sending in this example from the Peterson Collection, I fully expected a straight grade and was surprised with a Cleaned designation. A nearly fully struck speciment with only weakness in the upper left reverse wreath needing mention. Both dies are heavily clashed when sriking this piece. Pleasing satiny luster is present under a light source. Toning is deep gun metal gray-blue with embedded rose. Residual mint frost is seen at the obverse and reverse peripheries when the toning ends near the denticles. Why the PCGS cleaned designation? Ok, another 10x loupe inspection to get into the PCGS grader's head. There are no hairlines whatsoever therefore no mechanical cleaning. Could the grader not like the toning? This 1867-S half dime should be in a straight graded holder. An original quality rating is assigned with attractive pricing. Another better date from the Dr. Glenn Peterson Dansco album.

Consignor Price Reduction - GFRC is incredibly pleased to be offering one of the 500 Scott Restrikes but more importantly, the CSA reverse is choice original uncirculated. Both the CSA Reverse and obverse exhibt frosty cartwheel luster. For numismatic curiosity, the base coin's obverse was studied and easily attributed as an early die state CSA W-13 (Bisecting Date Crack) without signs of the die crack. The date position on CSA W-13 is unique and lends itself to a straightforward attribution. Offered here is an Scott Restrike with a choice original mint state CSA reverse coupled with a CSA W-13 base coin that was well preserved for years due to a reverse mount. At some point, the obverse mount was removed and the tooling remnants are most difficult to see on the PCGS TruView image. CSA Reverse strike is hammered with deeply impressed details. Reverse surface is choice with each die nuance available under a 10x loupe. Original silver mint frost is evident with mottled gray toning. Freshly graded by PCGS and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. This Scott Restrike has been off the market since the early 1980s with no auction records.

Vibrant reflection cartwheel luster is substantial and dazzling under a light source. Patina is classic orange gold that is to be expected for a well preserved 19th century gold specimen. Strike is essentially complete with a fully defined reverse but several stars lacking connected centrils. Fields have faint chatter that could explain the assigned NGC grade. Luster is more prominent than expected for the assigned MS61 grade. This piece offers value as I don't see the field chatter as being distracting.

This circulated example is strictly original and well protected by a light to medium gray patina. Under a bright light, some embedded rose is noted. Strike is typical for the W-7 die pairing.

Surviving population in all EF and AU grades, per PCGS pop report is slightly over a hundred pieces. Pricing for the date is attractive considering availability. This 1860 Seated half, from the New Jersey Collection, is a lovely example with brilliant frosty luster and ample cartwheel effects. Surfaces are uniform white from a prior dip and close to choice with just one bagmark in the right obverse field and a few random micro marks. Please remember that blast white surfaces shown all while heavily toned toned surfaces hide most minor blemishes. Strike is completed with well impressed reverse devices. Under a 10x loupe some faint rub is detected . Accurately graded and housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.

I really like the 1861 specimen in the New Jersey Collection due to strict old time originality. This lovely half has never been messed with in any way. A light pinkish gray skin covers both sides and protect the underlying steely fields that emit mild cartwheel luster. Under the right bright light viewing angles, the fields are lightly mirrored. Strike is essentially complete with only star 8 lacking full high relief definition. Obverse fields are no question choice original and a pleasure to examine under a 10x loupe. The reverse has one toned over line above the eagle's head that holds this piece back from a full choice quality rating. Yes, I'm being strict. Rub is very limited and difficult to see under the gray skin. Fairly graded and housed in older NGC holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. Another quality offering from the New Jersey Collection to consider.

Mirrored fields provide active cartwheel luster that is reflective in nature. A faint gold skin is seen at the peripheries. Now let's talk about the NGC cleaned designation. Fields are faintly hairlined under a halogen light during 10x loupe inspection. The hairlines are faint, shallow, and not distracting. Remember that mirrored fields will amplify any prior mishandlings to the detriment of the TPG grade. This is the case here for the 1864 specimen in the New Jersey Collection.

Mintage for 1865 Philadelphia strikes was limited to 511,400. AU grade level survival rate is anemic with any strictly original example being an important market arrival. The offered example graded full AU58 details and was purchased raw by the New England Collection consignor for a four digit plus price. This piece is deceptive as appears original at first glance. But carefully 10x loupe inspection suggests that the surfaces have seen a chemical bath that has dulled the steely fields and luster. Resulting russet-gold coloring appears a bit unnatural but would fool many collectors of the Liberty Seated half dollar series. Strike is well executed. Grading is technically accurate. Housed in older NGC Details holder with standard ring insert. Offer price has been slashed and provides fair value. In hand inspection is warranted.

Though the date has a mintage of 1,004,000 pieces, 1870 San Francisco strikes are scarce at the AU grade level and rare in mint state. This surviving example features light gray-gold patina over blemish free surfaces. Residual luster is muted due to an old wipe that has left very faint random hairlines on both sides. The NGC AU Details designation is technically accurate. However, the cleaning was not heavily abrasive, rather very light. If strictly original, this piece would be a no question AU58 with just faint rub on the left facing breast and lower knee. Strike is excellent other than stars 11 to 13 lacking connected centrils. Problem free AU58 are selling in the $1350 to $1500 range making this offering, from the New Jersey Collection, a compelling value. Housed in older NGC holder with standard ring insert.

This example again conservatively graded with substantial eye appeal. The fields offer reflective luster with mild cartwheels. Peripheral gold patina highlights and nicely frames the centers on both sides. Strike is well executed with several of the right obverse stars lacking connected centrils. Now let's discuss the cleaned designation. It is accurate as there are faint hairlines in the lower right obverse field that are immediately seen under a halogen light. Some hairlines carry into the left obverse field but not much. A few very faint hairlines can be found above the reverse eagle but one has to look carefully to locate. PCGS got this one right on a technical basis though this one should not be lumped into the really cleaned up coins we see in NGC Details holders.

$365 		New November 25! Very Conservative Grading, Natural Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Original Surfaces, Faint Gray-Gold Patina, Sunset Point Collection. It is now apparent to the numismatic community that PCGS grading has tightened with very conservative standards for coins with any type of imperfection. Case in point is this lovely 1874-S Seated quarter from the Sunset Point Collection. This piece was consigned raw and submitted to PCGS with an expectation for a straight AU53 grade. Instead, the piece was certified as EF Details. I'm sorry but this piece is not an EF given the frosty cartwheel luster and minimal wear. Luster is completely natural with fresh mint frost surrounding the stars, reverse legend and within the device details. A very careful 10x loupe inspection under both halogen and incandescent lightling revealed wispy hairlines in the lower right obverse field by stars 12 and 13. There are also a few faint vertical lines in the left obverse field that disturb the luster. Otherwise the reverse is 100% natural and unmolested. I spoke with the Sunset Point consignor and we have decided to list this 1874-S quarter in its current holder with detailed explanation. I still stand by my first assessment of straight grade AU53 with a few blemishes. However, this piece has not been cleaned and does not have EF level wear. Asking price is at the PCGS EF45 price guide grade level and fair for the quality. At some point in time, this quarter will find its way into a straight graded AU holder.

 Choice $180 New November 25! First Year New Hub Design, Choice Original, Union Bridge Collection. 1859 brought a short lived new obverse hub design with a much lower relief implementation of the Liberty devices. Stars have internal hollow points. Based on numismatic research, I suspect this design is the product of Anthony Paquet. The offered example is perfectly original and fairly graded. Reflective cartwheel luster is immediately obvious under a light source. Surfaces are toned a uniform gray-gold with gold hues becoming predominant under a light source. Really a top quality offering from the Union Bridge Collection that belongs in a TPG holder.

GFRC images are poorly done due to late autumn lightng conditions and suggest color density shift across the surfaces. That is not the case as color is completely uniform.

Obverse strike is bold and well executed while the reverse exhibits typical weakness at the lower wreath leaves and ribbon bow. When viewed under a light source, the darker ebony coloring gives way to the embedded gold. Housed in old PCGS blue label holder with standard ring insert.

4712009008 		BG-705
 Choice $2475 New November 13! BG-705, Condition Census Grade, Bold Reflective Luster, Abrasion Free, Conservatively Graded, Tiny PCGS Population for Variety. Stocking California Fractional gold is an important event due to early gold rush significance and private issue. The booming gold rush years left local merchants with a lack of small denomination coinage. The San Francisco mint did not ramp $1 coin production until 1854 and only with a meager 14,600 mintage to support local commerce. As a result, local jewelry shop owners began striking and issuing private gold in small denominations. Most were struck with anvil and hammer leading to uneven strikes. This 1859 BG-705 offering is exceptional given the example is a top pop grade and so well preserved. PCGS has only graded fourteen (14) total examples with one piece at the MS64 level. Both sides offer bold reflective luster from mirrored fields. Obverse devices are crudely engraved with most stars being blobs. The obverse die is heavily clashed with a reverse die from another 25c fractional design. Reverse design is also poorly executed with crude wreath elements and weak denomination and date. Edge denticles are well raised and sharp. Conservatively graded and housed in new large font NGC holder. From a Massachusetts consignor.

Originally from the Murphys Collection and back at GFRC for a second appearance.

R4 		Choice $985 New November 12! F-101, Original Creamy Luster, Bold Obverse Strike, Very Scarce in Mint State, Massachusetts Collection. Ex. Birmingham Collection. I still don't understand why higher grade 1849 dimes lack respect. The PCGS population reports are low at (6) MS63, (9) MS64, (1) MS65 and (1) MS66. The MS64 number has regrade attempts due to a large MS65 price jump. The Massachusetts Collection example has typical satiny surfaces with a hint of light gold. Strike is all there with complete head details and bold star centrils while the reverse has complete wreath leaves other than a spot at 10:00 which is typical for the F-101 die pairing. Surfaces are blemish free and attractive. Housed in old PCGS blue label holder with standard ring insert. Recently upgraded and now back on the market as the second time through GFRC price list.

 Choice $185 New November 12! F-104, Type 2 Obverse, Old Album Aquamarine-Rose and Gray Patina, Well Struck, Massachusetts Collection. A heavily toned 1861 Type 2 obverse dime that probably saw a lenghty storage period in old sulfur paper envelope. In hand viewing suggest gray and ebony primary colors. However, placing this 1861 Philadelphia strike under a bright light brings a dramatic change to the eye appeal. Obverse shifts to aquamarine center surrounded by rose-gold at the periphery. The reverse is a kaleidoscope of colors including mottled orange and aquamarine in the center surrounded by deeper greens and ebony. Typical strike for a With Legend dime. Accurately graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval. Recently upgraded by the Massachusetts Collection and searching for a new home.

 Original $235 New November 12! F-112, Medium O Over Upside Down Small S, Original Mirrored Fields, White Reflective Luster, First F-112 Example Seen, Accurately Graded, Massachusetts Collection. It is exciting to finally see a F-112 1891-O example rather than referencing the Kam Ahwash encyclopedia. F-112 was struck from polished dies that provide white reflective luster under a light source. The repunched mintmark is undeniable. My own study suggests that the reverse mintmark is Medium O over upside down S mintmark. Please see The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors at www.seateddimevarieties.com for an in depth analysis. Strike is nearly completely executed with only the upper reverse wheat grains not completely formed. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. This holder dates back to the late 1990s. Recently upgraded by the Massachusetts Collection and searching for a new home.
