The O-103 attribution points include vertical raised lines on the reverse between the ealge's neck and left wing. Unfortunately, PCGS did not correct attribute this piece as the holder label has an 1812/1 Small 8 designation.

 Choice $375 New June 30! Cracked Obverse #2, Late Die State of Partial Drapery Reverse, Crusty Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The 1838 F-110 die pairing approaches its final die with a long bisecting obverse crack. Greer listed this obverse as Cracked Obverse #2. The obverse die exhibits a strong bisecting die crack starting from the rim, down through Star 7, Liberty's body and down along the outer right edge of the shield. The die crack alters direction, bends and exits to the rim directly below Liberty's foot. Reverse G exhibits considerable wear with a weakened die clash mark, the clash resulting from the pairing with the Partial Drapery obverse. This offering is the Greer plate coin for the Greer-104 die variety with his "Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Dimes" published by DLRC Press. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

The 1840 F-102 No Drapery obverse exhibits reduced device relief on the date, rock and stars due to die polishing or lapping.

Purchased July 1990 from Bob Levi at Maine Gold & Silver (Portland, Maine) and employed as the 1840 No Drapery F-102a web-book plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors.

 Gem $325 New June 30! Repunched 8 and 9, Prior Listings as 1849/8 Overdate, Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. Both Ahwash and Breen listed the F-104 obverse as the 1849/8 Overdate, while Greer suggested that the 1849/8 is only a repunched date. During development of the Seated dime web-book, close inspection of several F-104 examples under high power stereo microscope, Ied me to agree with Greer that the traces of the originally punched digits in the upper loops of 8 and 9 are that of an 8 and 9 and not 8 and 8. This conclusion is based on the shapes and rotations of the upper ovals of the 8 and 9. The offered example is gem original at the assigned grade level. How I hate to part with this example after holding it since May 1995. This piece was purchased directly from Brian Greer after he used the coin for the F-104 macro image within his "Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Dimes" published by DLRC Press.

1995088085 		Briggs 5-F
 Choice $2650 New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. This obverse of the 1841-O double die obverse is distinct, and most quarter collectors could immediately attribute the piece based on the obverse shield alone, with doubling most prominent on LIBERTY. This example exhibits brilliant toning with hints of greenish-gold and burgundy. Creamy, frosty luster covers both sides, while the strike is typical with some soft stars and blending of the feather detail. A number of doubled-die 1841-O quarters were uncovered in the 1982 New Orleans hoard, many of which suffered environment damage. Whether this piece came from the hoard or not, it is clearly one of the more appealing survivors. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert with "DDO, FS-001" indicated on the labeling.

$1275 		New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. The survival of many of the Philadelphia pieces in the Seated quarter series is overlooked, with the rare Carson City pieces always taking center stage. The 1842 quarter is one such example, with a low 80,000 piece struck and better survivors such as this not always drawing immediate attention. Upon closer study, one notices that CAC has graded but five coins finer, highlighting the true condition rarity of this example. This piece exhibits even, medium-gray surfaces with deeper olive in the stars and legend, while the high points reveal hints of lighter color. Fields radiate residual, steely luster, and the eye appeal is strong. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.

 Choice HOLD
$4500 		New June 28! Near-Gem Original, Durham Eagle Collection. Thick, frosty luster rises from the light-to-medium skin of this semi-key Seated quarter. Silver and pastel shades blanket the obverse while the reverse is more intensely toned with deep blue at the rims. A few marks around the left shoulder are consistent with the assigned grade. The strike is sharp with defined star points. The 1851 and 1852 dates have long been recognized as much scarcer than their mintage might indicate, as many were melted due to the devaluation mandated by the Coinage Act of 1853. Indeed, PCGS has approved just seven pieces finer, while CAC has certified just one (an MS65) at a higher grade. This piece has it all - condition, rarity, history, and strong eye appeal. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

16026337 		Briggs 1-A
 Choice $2100 New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. Attractive 1852-O quarters, even with a low mintage to begin with, are surprisingly tough. Even at the VF25 level, CAC has graded only eight pieces finer than the present example, six of which remain in the VF band. This circulated cameo example features even, deep gray fields, while the silver central figures reveal pleasing contrast. The strike is typical, as production standards at the New Orleans Mint simply were not at the same level as their counterpart in Philadelphia. Virtually no one plucked these coins from circulation at the time of issue, except for silver speculators taking advantage of the weight reduction mandated in 1853. Survival was thus a matter of chance, and the survival of pleasing examples such as this even more unlikely. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.

$675 		New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. Moderately mirrored surfaces host the lightly toned fields of this popular date Seated quarter. Soft tan shades pair with occasional crust in the recessed areas, particularly within the obverse and reverse shields. This piece is well-struck with only a few soft stars and decent detail in the eagle feathers. With a high mintage, there are no doubt several unlisted varieties for this date, and with detailed study new discoveries are likely possible. Perhaps this piece might represent the beginning of such a reference set. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert.

Briggs 1-A, with the mintmark placed slightly closer to the feather than the stem. Weakly struck as usual for the issue with flat stars and eagle feathers blending together. This piece has obviously been dipped, but remains a decently-detailed example of a tough issue. Housed in a Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS) holder. Ex.

All coins fall on a spectrum, and, while there is no denying this piece has been cleaned in the past, it remains more nicely preserved than most pieces in the same class. Some luster remains, if not 100% original. Light rose shades highlight even silver surfaces, and there are no major distractions.

The central figures are grey and tan and neatly contrast with the deep field toning. Stars are nearly all sharp and the eagle feather detail is strong. This piece is especially well-struck for an 1857-O, which often comes with poorly impressed detail.

 Original $1750 New June 28! Near-Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. Residual, frosty luster highlights silver and grey surfaces with deeper toning in right obverse field. Crust is evident in the obverse stars and more abundant in the reverse shield. A few lines within the figure of Liberty are consistent with the grade. This is a scarce issue, and the San Francisco Mint, more occupied with gold production, delivered just 82,000 quarters in this year. This piece likely would have CACed, but the obverse detail is more consistent with the EF45 grade. In this case it appears PCGS awarded the coin a bump for the overall eye appeal, while CAC held the line on the technical detail. Regardless, this is a nice example of a tough issue. PCGS has graded 27 examples finer. Housed in a PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) holder.

 Cleaned $1750 New June 28! Rare Date, Tooled and Retoned. The 1860-S was struck to the extent of only 56,000 pieces, and with the 1864-S and 1872-S, ranks among the most challenging San Francisco issues in the Seated quarter series. This piece has been cleaned and re-engraved, with tooling marks particularly evident in Liberty's gown folds. Shading is a yellowish-blue, and obviously not original. Nevertheless, this remains an exceptionally rare coin, of which perhaps a couple hundred pieces in total exist. Briggs 1-A, the only die pair for this year, with an even date punched low. Housed in an ICG holder with "Reengraved-Cleaned" label.

11450429 		Briggs 2-B
 Original $4350 New June 28! Near-Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. Few coin collectors paid attention to branch mint coinage until Augustus Heaton published his work on the subject in 1893. As such, survival of higher grade San Francisco coinage was a matter of chance, and today neither service lists an 1861-S quarter in uncirculated condition. At the EF40 level, PCGS notes 21 higher grading "events," many likely representing duplicate coins as owners hope to "make" a higher-graded piece. Medium gray and pastel shades mix on both sides of this choice example, with occasional crust in the stars and legend. Strike is typical with some stars softly impressed. The aesthetic appeal is strong, and there is no denying the condition rarity. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

 Original $1850 New June 28! Original, Durham Eagle Collection. With a low mintage of 20,000 pieces, the 1864-S is long acknowledged as one of the most challenging issues in the Seated quarter series, not just among San Francisco issues, but across the entire set. PCGS Coin Facts notes just seven examples at the VF30 appearing at auction since 2010, with the average selling price exceeding $2,000. This piece exhibits gray and powder blue surfaces with deeper shades at the rims and within the reverse shield. An old cleaning is noted, but this piece remain more original than most survivors, and the straight grade by PCGS is warranted. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-date) holder.

$2850 		New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. This is a pleasing example of a better-date San Francisco piece, lightly toned and lustrous. Swaths of gold decorate a brilliant obverse, while the reverse is predominantly silver with hints of rose in the protected areas. The strike is typical, with some flat stars, but stronger detail in the eagle feathers. Briggs 1-A, the only die pair but for date, but better described as a later die state, with the tops of 8 and 6 polished out. NGC has certified 16 pieces in all MS grades combined, no doubt representing many duplicates. Indeed, Coin Facts indicates MS coins appear at an average rate of less than one piece per year. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert.

 Choice HOLD
$2750 		New June 28! Near-Gem Original, Durham Eagle Collection. The 1866 quarter exhibits a distinct appearance and is one that can be attributed without seeing the date. Heavy die polishing is evident on the obverse and to a lesser extent on the reverse as well. Centers are weakly struck, as seen on the reverse here, while the obverse of this example is better struck than usual with all letters of LIBERTY clear and most stars sharp. Proofs of this year are cleanly struck throughout and there is no mistaking the difference. The luster of this example is strong for the grade and the flash is readily evident, with just a couple minor obverse lines holding the piece back from a higher grade. Surfaces are uniformly brilliant with rose hints around AMERICA on the reverse. With a low mintage of 16,800 pieces, the piece offers a compelling combination of rarity and aesthetic appeal. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert.

The toning is largely brilliant, with hints of pink and plum, more intense below the eagle. The piece is well-struck, with some weak stars, while the detail beneath the reverse shield is sharper. Briggs 1-A, the only variety for this year, with a defective mintmark that is shared with the 1867-S and 1869-S pieces. Light clashing is evident on the reverse. This piece is close to the top of the condition census, as NGC has certified just three coins finer. While no guarantee is made, GFRC believes this piece will cross to PCGS. The luster is all there, and the eye appeal is enticing. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert.

 Choice $3500 New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. The Mint had production difficulties with business strike quarters in 1866 and 1867, with the weak ribbon being a hallmark of the 1867 pieces. Weakness in L and Y are easily apparent on this example, but the head is more strongly struck than usually seen. Fields are mirrored on both sides, typical for 1867 quarters, and contrast with frosted devices. Toning is largely brilliant with the exception of gold-russet patches in the obverse stars. Briggs 1-A, the business strike dies, exhibiting an evenly punched date. With only 20,000 pieces minted, this is a flashy example of a scarce coin. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert.

 Choice HOLD
$3000 		New June 28! No Arrows, Closed 3, Business Strike, Super Choice for Grade, Crusty Gray Patina, . The early 2000s saw a renewed interest in the more prominent Seated quarter varieties, with an MS63 1873 close 3 quarter selling at the 75k level at the 2008 FUN convention. The close 3 is a Red Book-listed variety, visible to the naked eye, and conveys a compelling story, as anyone can see plainly why the 3 might have been confused with an 8. This piece exhibits pleasing coin grey surfaces with light color at the high points. The protected areas host light, original crust, outlining the stars and hiding in the crevices of the motto and reverse shield. While the obverse matches the proof die (Briggs 1-A), this piece is an unquestioned business strike, and it should be pointed out that other business strike examples listed on Coinfacts also match the Briggs 1-A obverse. More importantly, the reverse of this example does not exhibit the die cut on the left side of the shield, which is a well-known diagnostic for proof quarters of this era. CAC has approved just five pieces finer. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert and fresh CAC approval.

Choice $425 New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. Frosty surfaces create pleasing cartwheel effect on this Centennial-dated Seated quarter. A light rose skin covers the obverse while the reverse is more brilliant with shading at the rims. Surfaces are smooth for the grade with no distractions of note. Stars and head are somewhat softly struck, while the feathers in the eagle are more detailed. An affordable example of an uncirculated 19th century type coin with ample remaining luster.

The central figures are mostly brilliant and neatly framed by the colorful rims and reverse fields. There are a couple reverse marks through eagle's head and neck, but the surfaces are otherwise consistent with the grade, and the attractive toning contributes to the overall eye appeal. The 1878-CC is a better date, not quite on the level of the 1875-CC, but more challenging than the 1876-CC and 1877-CC issues. Briggs 2-B with a low, even date, and CC placed midway between the arrow feather tip and R in QUAR. Housed in a NGC Fatty holder.

 Choice $1250 New June 28! Choice Original, Durham Eagle Collection. Granular, satiny luster booms from both sides of this near-gem uncirculated Seated quarter. Shading is silver and steel-blue, with subdued intensity in the protected areas. The strike is strong, with just a couple soft stars and near-complete delineation of the feathers. Just 13,600 pieces were struck in this year, but these were recognized as scarce at the time of issue, and survive in a higher proportion than most of the branch Mint issues in the series. Nevertheless, they are substantially more scarce than the Morgan dollars being coined by the millions during this era of abundant silver discoveries.

Just 8,000 pieces were struck in this year, and, even with a survival rate higher than average, it remains a challenging date. This example exhibits steely luster, approaching reflective, with deep rose-rust shades in the obverse fields. The reverse is more lightly toned, with the eagle largely brilliant and surrounded by russet fields. The strike is strong with sharp stars and exceptionally clean detail through the eagle. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert. Note, the marks in the upper obverse are on the holder only.

This is a no-question business strike (Briggs 1-A), with the top of the second 8 being noticeably thin. When compared in hand with a proof example, the difference is even more evident. Liberty and the eagle are brilliant and nicely frosted, while the flashy fields host russet shades that deepen at the rims. Pleasing examples of the business strike 1886 quarters are challenging to locate, and this piece is a prize.

Mintage for the 1891-O was 68,000 pieces, and the issue today is highly prized, especially in nicer circulated grades. Residual, steely luster graces the coin grey surfaces of this example, with deeper shades at the rims. The head is softly struck, typical for 1891-Os, while the feather detail in the eagle is more strongly impressed. Briggs 1-A, with an odd, downward sloping date. Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert. A nice example of a tough coin, ex. Jules Reiver and listed as such on the NGC insert.

David Bowers well communicates the rarity of this gem 1873-CC Trade dollar per his CoinFacts monologue. This date was not saved by collectors of the period, with nearly all being shipped to the Orient. Exported pieces did return to the United States with wear and chopmarks. Bowers goes on to write that "In MS63 grade, the 1873-CC date maintains it lofty rarity status with examples seen being as elusive as those at the MS64 grade level. I could not pass up owning this superb gem when discovered in a dealer wholesale box at a small New England dealer show. This example presents virtually perfect surfaces that do not reveal even the tiniest scrapes. 10x loupe inspection and a thorough inspection reveals a few widely scattered microscopic ticks. Steely luster is consistent on both sides which is typical for the date. Both sides enjoy a naturally original deeper pewter color. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck. Mint made adjustment marks on the eagles lower left leg probably holds this piece back from MS64 certification. The good people at CAC believed this high end MInt States example to be worthy of green bean. CAC population is two at the MS63 level with only three finer. A true piece of American western frontier history in a very rare preservation state. I'm already enjoying having this piece in GFRC inventory. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval.

 Original $250 New June 22! Tough New Orleans Date, Early Die State, Conservative Grading. 1851 New Orleans dime mintage is reported at 400,000 pieces. Since the typical die pair of that period struck no more than 250,000 coins, one would assume that several die pairs were employed that year. Years of research have only revealed a single die pair that experiences die lapping during the long production lifespan. Late die state strikes will have soft obverse devices including most of the drapery effaced and weak stars. This new offering was struck during the beginning of 1851 dime production. The Liberty device is bold along with a raised scroll on the shield. Surfaces are toned a light original gray with no abrasions. Stars are big and bold. If planning to add an 1851-O date to the date and mintmark set, selecting an early strike would be wise. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

The situation with CAC approval is even more elusive with only three approvals for all AU grades. GFRC is thrilled to be offering a choice original F-107a example with mirrored fields and gorgeous bright light eye appeal. Frankly, this offering has the appearance of an old time proof but is a no question circulation strike. In-hand gray-green coloring shifts to aquamarine-blue, rose and gold under a light source. Fields are mirrored on both sides while strike is so close to 100% complete. The 107a die state captures later die state die clashing that is readily visible on this example. If hoping and wailing for a CAC approved example to reach the market, that wait will span years and not months. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

 Gem $1200 New June 21! Gorgeous Eye Appeal, Near Terminal F-104 Die State, Brilliant Frosty Luster, Complete Strike. A special offering for Liberty Seated dime die variety specialist or those carefully assembling a PCGS blue box of 20 exceptional coins! Eye appeal and gorgeous circular toning patterns are self evident from the GFRC images. Therefore, let's examine the F-104 die pairing and how the obverse cracks until reaching terminal die state. The F-104 die pairing starts out as a set of heavily polished dies resulting in semi-PL strikes; these are rarely seen. With usage, the dies wear with the obverse die developing a die crack from star 2 into the shield. The die crack increases in severity and proceeds through the shield and down through the 3 digit into the rim. The F-104a listing captures the die states when the die crack extends from star 2 to the rim below the date. During terminal die state, the obverse die separates and leaves a shelf metal ridge across the lower shield. The highest grade F-104b known is a VF35 owned by Dr. Tim Cook. This new GFRC offering is a die state between F-104a and F-104b. The die cracks are well raised from star 2 to the 3 digit without the obverse die separating. Overall, a really cool piece that is fully struck. All horizontal shield lines are complete defined and separated. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

 Choice $4000 New June 18! Pointed 9, 4 Lines, Choice Original, Crusty Gray Patina, CAC Approval, Osprey Collection. Moderately crusty gray fields contrast well with the lighter central devices on this 1798 Draped Bust dollar. A later die state BB-125 example with heavy die crack through the olive leaves and through AMERI(C)A. As with many dollars of the late 18th Century, strike uniformity was a casualty of primitive minting presses. This Osprey Collection offering has a bold strike on the right obverse but sees poor stars definition on the left obverse. A common 1798 die variety with Pointed 9 and four shield verticals on the reverse shield. An ideal candidate as a type coin due to lack of any die variety premium.

Original $2950 New June 18! Scarce Civil War Date, Crusty Obverse Toning, Strictly Original Surfaces, New England Collection. A crusty original 1862 Philadelphia strike from a small mintage of 11,540. The Civil War was raging during 1862 with Confederacy scoring wins in early battles. By 1862 all silver coinage had disappeared from circulation due to hoards and fears of which side would win the war. The Philadelphia mint had sufficient bullion to strike silver dollars. However, those did not circulate in the eastern states. Rather most were exported to Canada and Latin America. Just imagine the history and potential stories of this New England Collection example. Obverse toning is best described as thick crusty gray with embedded rose. Reverse toning is lighter, though containing the same colors. This toning pattern is indicative of strict originality.

$1975 		New June 18! Very Scarce Civil War date, Crusty Original, Choice Surfaces, Folded Paper Toning, New England Collection. Like other Civil War years, Philadelphia strikes did not circulate in the eastern United States. Nearly all ended up being used as overseas commerce payment and were exported. As a result, this date is very scarce in circulated grades. This survivor is unquestionably original with thick crusty obverse patina along with lighter shades on the reverse. The reverse exhibit folded paper toning outline on the upper left quadrant. Fields are free of abrasions other than a contact mark on the reverse below the E in STATES.

However, Philadelphia struck 1865 Seated dollar did not reach circulation as specie payment was in suspension. Instead, most of the 46,500 struck were exported to Central and South America. Few circulation strikes have survived to the present day leading to current rarity. I'm impressed with the well preserved surfaces on this EF45 graded example. A natural light gray skin is consistent on both sides. This skin is the hallmark of strict originality, a fact to serious consider when examining this New England Collection offering for potential purchase. This piece deserves a Choice quality rating for surface condition and minimal abrasions. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder. Hurry on this one!

With that in mind, this first year issue is an excellent candidate for those seeking a single piece type from the Carson City mint. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (1998-2002) holder.

Original $1750 New June 18! Low Mintage Date, Original Crusty Gray Patina, New England Collection. 1872 brought the last Seated dollar production at the San Francisco mint. Mintage is a tiny 9,000 strikes. Q. David Bowers opines that many of these strikes were held by the Treasury before being released into western frontier circulation during 1876. Additional pieces were melted along with some finding their way to the Orient as part of the export trade. Survival rate has been estimated to be 1000 pieces, a fairly large number for the Seated dollar series. Crusty gray patina covers steely fields on the obverse while the reverse coloring is a combination of gun metal gray and blues. Bright light review some residual luster though muted by the thick toning. Fields are free of any significant abrasions. Strike is a tad weak at Liberty's head.

 Original $195 New June 18! Scarce Type 2 Reverse, Die Weakness, Gold Toning, Strong Strike. 1876-S Type 2 reverse examples are quite difficult to locate and are infrequently seen in the marketplace. In Brian Greer's guidebook, he rates the 1876-S date with Type 2 reverse as R5 rarity in EF/AU and full R6 in Mint State. I fully agree as have seen few examples at this grade level. A tannish-gold patina covers both sides with reflective luster from the obverse fields. Reverse die details are weak from either being poorly hubbed or lapped. I believe the basis for weak reverse devices is a weak hubbing of the working die. Just taken in trade from a GFRC client.

Price Reduction June 2020 - How about another stunning Liberty Seated half dollar offering from the Newtown Collection? This gem original 1877 San Francisco strike has much to offer for those that seek the best possible coins for their collection. In hand toning is a combination of aquamarine and rose-brown colors as illustrated in the GFRC images. Bright light viewing exposes satiny cartwheel luster that is so close to being reflective. This assessment is quite subjective on my part. The luster is brilliant and melts the transparent toning. The result is light rose and sky blue colors on the obverse and incremental gold on the reverse. Strike is complete without any weak points. There is one obverse hairline from Liberty's knee up to star 10. Knowing John Albanese's requirements for mint state coin CAC approval, I suspect this single hairline will not pass muster for a green bean. Otherwise, this piece is a gem and accurately graded with superb eye appeal. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

 MS63 PCGS
5221682 		F-103c
 Gem $9500 New June 15! Lapped Obverse Die, Gem Original, Extremely Rare Fully Struck at Grade, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. One of three MS63 certified 1849-O dimes certified by PCGS and the only auction record on CoinFacts. Purchased March 2005 at the American Numismatic Rarities sale of the Richard Jewell Collection. 1849-O dimes are incredibly rare in Mint State when fully struck. This F-103c Small O survivor brings a hammered strike and steely luster to the table. Note how well the obverse is struck regardless of the lapped die (weak date). Every tiny piece of die rust is visible from Liberty's face down to the bottom of the gown folds. In-hand toning is gun metal blue-gray with embedded rose shades. Bright light viewing exposes a completely difference personality. The darker toning simply melts away and reveals lustrous steely fields that are borderline mirrored. Coloring is a light gold on both sides. I truly love this Seated dime and was most disappointed when it did not receive CAC approval. I'm into this piece for $9200 twenty-five years ago and have never regretted the purchase. Since purchase, this piece has never been displayed given the core Fortin set contains a PCGS MS64 CAC Large O example. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder. A special offering for the Liberty Seated dime specialist.

This example is the F-114 Below Wreath plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors. Surfaces are 100% original and covered with crusty gray patina. Peripheral mint frost generates pleasing frosty luster during bright light inspection. Strike is completely executed on both sides. Housed in short lived PCGS Gen 4.2 (2004-2005) holder. The PCGS label reads, "Mint Error, Struck 5% Off Center." Previously sold at Heritage Auction during 2005 and off the market since that time.

Choice $285 New June 14! Choice Original, Golden Arm Collection. Deep fields neatly contrast with light centers on this better-date Seated quarter. Intense blue, russet, and gold shades intermingle in the stars and fields, and the eye appeal is wholesome. The strike on this piece intriguing - while the stars exhibit ample inner detail, the central portions are more weakly impressed with flatness in the gown and reverse shield. Such variance lends interest to the study of the Seated coinage. Note, this piece was previously CAC'ed, cracked for insertion in a Dansco holder, and later reslabbed by PCGS at the same grade level. However, CAC did not recertify the piece on a subsequent attempt. While CAC is an excellent screener of original coins, no one is 100% consistent. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-date) holder.

 Original $1250 New June 14! Original, Ebony-Blue ans Golden Patina, Hammered Strike, Golden Arm Collection. Original, frosty luster blankets both sides of this low-mintage piece, while the fields exhibit splashes of deep blue and grey. The strike is sharp with neatly defined star points and exceptional detail throughout the eagle feathers. The downward sloping date confirms the circulation strike status (Briggs 1-A), an important distinction as business strikes are more desirable than proofs for this issue. The fields are a bit marky, with a few horizontal lines noticeable to the left and right of Liberty. Mintage was a mere 29,400 pieces in this year, when "hard money" in the economy remained scarce.

 Choice $475 New June 14! Near-Gem, Golden Arm Collection. This is yet another underrated date in the quarter series, struck to the extent of 86,400 pieces, but with a price profile not substantially above that of a type coin. Pleasing, medium russet graces both sides, intermixing in the fields. with the silver background. Fields are mirrored and the remaining luster is slightly prooflike. The strike is soft and may have held back the CAC status, giving the appearance of a slightly-lower graded coin. This is most evident in the eagle's right wing. Regardless, this piece is choice for what it is, a highly original example of a better-date Seated quarter. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder (2015-date).

 Choice New Price
$1195 		New June 11! Type 2 Reverse, Polished and Shattered Reverse, Frosty Luster, Light Gray Toning, Top 100 Varieties Opportunity, Murphys Collection. Price Reduction June 2020 - The 1878 Carson City F-104 die pairing, in its final die state, featured Obverse 2 paired with a left over and shattered reverse die from 1877. This 1877-CC Type 2 reverse die was previously paired with at least two obverse dies during 1877 production. During the 1877-CC F-110 pairing the reverse die is severely cracked. Ahwash speculates that the reverse die shattered, taking away the lower left ribbon and part of the bottom of the left maple leaf. After studying the 1877-CC Type 2 F-110 plate coin, in my reference collection, and this 1878-CC F-104 shattered reverse coin side by side, I believe that the die was severely polished or lapped throughout its face to produce the remaining coinage order for 1878 calendar year. There is a reduction in details throughout this reverse die, not only in the lower left wreath area. A shattering or cracking of the die in the lower wreath would have produced retained metal, instead we find a smooth polish surface with little device details in the lower left wreath. Similarly, the 1878-CC F-102 and F-103 reverse dies also exhibit similar weakness in the lower left wreath and left ribbon area. I suspect that all three Type2 reverse dies may have been left over from 1877 and were polished or lapped before being put into service for 1878 coinage. This newly offered example is important due to limited circulated and visual access to the remaining reverse devices. The heavy concentric reverse die crack is bold and visible during 10x loupe inspection. Surfaces are choice and original. Obverse luster is frosty while reverse luster is more reflective do to the reverse die polishing. There are no abrasions worthy of mention. Accurately graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder without die variety attribution on the label. A wonderful Top 100 Varieties offering from the Murphys Collection to consider. The new owner should consider adding the F-104 and Top 100 designation to the label.

$475 		New June 7! McKinley, Frosty Luster, Greenish-Gold Coloring, Hampden Collection. Price Reduction June 2020 - One dollar gold-pieces were popular in the early 20th century, especially for presentation purposes, and the allure of gold conveyed a deeper sentiment than a few mixed silver coins, a crumpled bit of currency, or worse, a personal check. This period saw a number of one-dollar gold commemoratives, with nearly a complete set represented in the Hampden consignment. This example would be an excellent start to such a set, with yellow-gold shading and delicate rose centers. Lustrous cartwheels radiate from both sides, the aesthetic appeal is strong, and the coin is separated from the gem level only by a couple obverse ticks. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-date) holder.

Housed in an old NGC holder with standard ring insert. NGC has graded only 12 pieces higher, all in MS68.

CAC population for this choice 1915 San Francisco strike currently stands at only seventeen pieces at the grade level. One must double the asking price for an MS63 graded example.

Original $725 New June 4! Very Scarce Date, Gray Patina, Original, Murphys Collection. Coin collecting in the late 19th century was active, especially in the eastern cities. Dealers could be found in any major city, and the rarity of the 1880s silver coinage (except for Morgan dollars, of course) was well-known. The Mint produced enough pieces to avoid excessive speculation, but collectors couldn't resist the low mintage figures. As a result, the survival rate of these 1880s Seated halves is higher than average, but they remain scarce. An old cleaning prevents CAC certification of this piece, but the coin has nicely retoned and exhibits attributes one expects from an original example, with lighter silver at high points, medium-shaded fields, and deeper tones in the recessed areas. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

Choice $875 New June 4! Low Mintage Date, Choice Original, CAC Approval, Murphys Collection. The 1878 Bland-Allison mandated large silver purchases by the federal government, and this bullion was most efficiently coined into Morgan dollars. Morgans are a fine thing, large flashy coins, but the rarity of the Seated coinage attracts its own followers. Only 10,000 Seated halves were struck in 1881, and this highly original example is an ideal representative. Medium skin covers both sides with a mix of olive, gold, and deep blue shades. The strike is typical with a couple soft stars, and the eye appeal is strong - this is a nice, original piece. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.

Original $900 New June 4! Low Mintage Date, Crusty Gray Patina, Original, Murphys Collection. Rarity is the word for the 1882 Seated half dollar, struck to the extend only 4,400 pieces. Meanwhile, all Mints combined produced over 27 million Morgan dollars in this year, many of which sat in vaults for decades before the Treasury releases. For collectors motivated by rarity, this is not a hard decision to make, and this AU 1882 50-cent piece beckons. Deep gray covers both sides, becoming more intense at the rims, while hints of rose are seen throughout. The strike is typical with a few weak stars and the eagle's left leg feathers beginning to blend together. Housed in a newer NGC holder with edge view insert.

This piece exhibits light centers leading to deep gray and blue at the rims, while the reverse eagle hosts russet shades in the protected areas. A few faint field hairlines are evident as this piece is tilted under a light source. Ticks are scattered, more evident to the right of Liberty, while reverse fields are smooth for the grade. The strike is typical with the eagle's left claws nearly unified. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-date) holder.

Original $900 New June 4! Low Mintage Philadelphia Date, Gray-Rose Patina, Original Surfaces, Murphys Collection. The 1887 issue is perhaps the most desired of the late-date Seated halves, with circulated pieces priced markedly higher than others in this decade. Mintage was just 5,000 pieces, and these were apparently not saved to the extent of the coins in the early 1880s. This piece exhibits deep, even grade shades, more varied on the reverse, with secondary tones of rose in the fields and blue at the rims. The strike is typical, with all stars flat and loss of detail beneath the reverse shield. Collectors of this era often preferred proofs of current issues, and circulation strike pieces are accordingly scarce.

The strike is typical, with stars 6-8 softer than others. There is a small dig in E of STATES on the reverse. Mintage in this year was a mere 12,001 pieces, as the Mint continued to churn out Morgan dollars by the millions. Housed in an older NGC holder with standard ring insert.

The late-date, low-mintage run of Seated halves concludes with this 1890 piece, struck to the extent of 12,000 pieces. The obverse is brilliant, with residual, reflective luster, while the reverse exhibits especially rich toning. The eagle's shield features aqua shading, leading to gold, burgundy, and deep blue at the rims. The obverse is sharply struck with distinct star points, while the reverse is more typically struck with eagle feathers joining together. The reverse is best-examined under a strong light, in order to reveal the extensive range of toning. A neat piece. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

 Choice $825 New June 3! Lapped and Cracked Reverse of 1877, Choice Original, Typical F-104 Undergrading, Full AU, AuburnNY Accordian Collection. 1878 Carson City Obverse 2, in its final die state, is paired with a left over heavily lapped reverse die from 1877 (Type II Reverse A). During a previous die pairing with the 1877-CC F-110 obverse, the reverse die is severely cracked. Noted early Liberty Seated dime researcher, Kam Ahwash, speculated that the reverse die shattered, taking away the lower left ribbon and part of the bottom of the left maple leaf. After studying an 1877-CC Type 2 F-110 example and this 1878-CC shattered reverse coin side by side, I believe that this die was severely polished or lapped throughout its face to produce the remaining coinage ordered in 1878. This survivor is original crusty gray with bold diagnostics. Strike is impressive. The entire lower left wreath details are effaced by the die lapping while remaining devices are deeply impressed. Remember that F-104 examples must be graded based on obverse as the reverse die was polished and quickly cracked with use. A typical 1878-CC Type 2 reverse dime will have a two grade difference between obverse and reverse. Listed in the Top 100 Varieties Set. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
