	Seated 10C	1874-S	AU50	PCGS 28172780	F-102a	Choice	$625	New September 20! Greer Plate Coin, Choice Original, Residual Luster, Natural Light Gray Patina, City By The Bay Collection. This 1874 San Francisco strike is the Greer Plate Coin for the Small Thin S mintmark variety. With incremental research, I later separated the early and later Small Thin S strikes into F-102 and F-102a die states. This example is an F-102a struck with heavily rusted obverse die and badly eroded and cracked reverse die. The device details appear to be quite weak, which they are. This offering is formerly from the Gerry Fortin Collection and perfectly original with residual mint frost and some luster. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with edge view insert. Presently, a duplicate from the City By The Bay Colletion.

PCGS population report indicates eight graded at the AU55 level and another nine at AU58 with few CoinFacts auction records. The date is definitely not "common" and will sell above those levels. Offered is one of the duplicate F-101 Medium S examples from the Gerry Fortin reference collection. Surfaces are original and emit frosty cartwheel luster. Strike is well executed with only the upper left wheat grains lacking full definition. Housed in newer NGC holder. A new "duplicate" release from the City By The Bay Collection.

Saw Mill Run Collection. A splendid 1861 San Francisco strike and key date in the Liberty Seated quarter series. Mintage was 96,000 with few saved by Western frontier citizens. Essentially all the mintage went into circulation and remained there until well worn or lost. The number of AU survivors is incredibly low with no Mint State examples certified by PCGS. This VF20 CAC approved specimen offers problem free wear with natural light gray surfaces. A thoroughly pleasing offering that will garner attention for Seated quarter specialists. This City By The Bay Collection duplicate will warrants serious attention. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.

A scarce Philadelphia date in any grade and currently underrated as compared to the price guides. Mintage for the 1842 date amounted to only 88,000 pieces with present day low survival rate due to heavy circulation.

CAC has approved 31 pieces in all grades combined, with 15 above EF45. Such coins are not easily located, and, if building an XF/AU set, this piece would be an ideal example.

	Seated 25C	1851	VF25	PCGS 28822840		Choice	$675	New September 19! Underrated Date, Choice Original, Gun Metal Gray Patina, Eye Appeal, Accurately Graded, GFRC CAC Buyback.

	Seated 25C	1854-O Crumbled Die	F15	NGC 2089164002		Choice	$495	New September 19! Crumbled Die Obverse, Choice Original, GFRC CAC Buyback. The 1854-O crumbled die variety is marked by eroding detail in the date and right arrow. As the die disintegrates, detail becomes less sharp and misshaped. The crooked points in the stars further attest to this effect. The New Orleans Mint was busy this year and likely more concerned about quantity than quality. This example is heavily toned, especially on the reverse, with varied shades of grey on the obverse and reverse hues of gold and blue. Despite the striking issues, this is a premium quality example with no distracting marks or apparent signs of "conservation." Many times rarer than the Huge O die variety of the same year. Housed in a new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

The color is even and highlighted by silver at the high points while light crust outlines design elements, particularly the reverse shield. Strike is typical, with flat stars, but the feather detail in the eagle is better. The 1856 quarter has a number of misplaced date varieties, which are well documented by Greg Johnson at http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/Quarter_QOM/1856_misplaceddates.htm. This example feature a '5' punched in the gown, most easily identified by a horizontal line extended from the right base of the shield ribbon.

	Gold G$2.5	1850-O Liberty	AU58	NGC 176850005		Choice	$2150	New September 13! Very Underrated Choice, Brilliant Reflective Luster, Green-Gold Coloring, Scarce Grade. A scarce 1850 New Orleans $2.5 quarter eagle offering at the coveted AU58 grade level. This date is quite rate in Mint State leading to choice AU58 specimens being highly desirable. Mintage is a reasonable 84,000 for the time period with most survivors being circulated and found in EF and low AU grades. PCGS population dips quickly to thirteen certified at the AU58 level and a total of twenty pieces in all MInt State grades. Pricing increases are dramatic above the AU58 grade. The choice example features reflective luster that is most brilliant during bright light inspection. Devices have a frosty texture too. Strike quality was an ongoing issue for this date with obverse and reverse centers being notably weak. On this offering, obverse stars in the left field are weak along with the E in LIBERTY not being completely defined. The eagle wings are fully defined but neck feathers and the lower left leg lack details. This is a choice survivor that should please those assembling a set of branch mint early gold. Housed in older NGC holder with standard ring insert and CAC approval. CDN CAC guide is listed at $2310 as a reference.
	Gold G$20	1907-S Liberty	MS64+	PCGS 39115315		Choice	$6900	New September 13! So Close to Gem, Frosty Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Light Orange-Gold Coloring, CAC Approval, Osprey Collection. The Osprey Collection is back with another top quality U.S. Gold offering. This time, we are treated with a wonderful 1907-S Liberty double eagle certified as MS64+ with CAC approval. Common date you might ask? Well yes and no! This last year of design strike sports a mintage of a little over two million pieces. Nearly all survivors will be found at the MS61 thru MS63 grades due to surface abrasions. Populations drop at MS64 with gems beinh very rare and commanding huge premiums. The premium extends to those certified at the MS64+ level. Since CAC does not report (+) grades, the only available approval data is forty-three at the MS64 level and a single MS65 approved. That MS65 example is a $30,000 coin on a grade rarity basis. If a collector can't shell out this level of cash for a CAC approved MS65, the next best alternative is an MS64+ at a fractional of the price. This lovely example brings frosty luster and swirling cartwheels during bright light inspection. While the reverse is entirely unabraded, these are several luster breaks on the obverse with the most notable being between star 2 and the chin. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. An Osprey offering that is worthy of serious consideration.

Mirrored fields host rose and gold surfaces, and the eye appeal is wholesome, with no obvious distractions.

This nicely toned quarter will attract attention from even veteran Seated quarter specialists, with an aesthetic appeal that is anything but common. Medium pink and grey fields host gold shades in the protected areas, and the eye appeal is strong.

The 1842-O Small Date quarter is a key to the New Orleans Seated quarters, along with the challenging 49-0, 51-O, and 52-O issues.

The stars and legend boldly emerge from a slate background, while Liberty and the eagle are neatly outlined. The rims are full, and some inner detail of the central devices remains.

	Seated 25C	1850	AU50	PCGS 22028894		Gem	HOLD $900	New September 13! Exceptional Eye Appeal, Gem Original, West Coast Collection. This is a gorgeous rim-toned example with aqua and russet shades encircling original, medium gray surfaces. Locating such coins tends to be a lot harder than writing the check to acquire them! The 1850 issue is more challenging than its mintage indicates, as full-weight quarters were targets for speculators after passage of the 1853 Coinage Act, which devalued the nation's silver coinage. Fully struck with only minimal blending of the eagle feathers. CAC has certified 30 examples in all grades combined. This piece will sell quickly, the quality is such that those who already own an 1850 piece will be strongly tempted to acquire another. Housed in a Gen 4.3 (2005) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated 25C	1850-O	VG08	PCGS 27361692	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$135	New September 13! Choice Original, West Coast Collection. Although not high grade, this 1850-O quarter captures the essence of Seated coinage - a choice example of a better date, at a reasonable price point. While much is made of finest knowns and million-dollar auction sales, the truth is that the majority of Seated collectors are pursuing circulated coins such as the present example. This piece exhibits even gray fields with contrasting silver devices, and there are no significant distractions - a pleasing example for the assigned grade. Briggs 1-A, with the mintmark punched to the left. CAC has approved 31 examples in all grade. Housed in a Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder.
	Seated 25C	1851-O	F12	PCGS 21636612	Briggs 1-B	Original	$875	New September 13! Near-Choice, West Coast Collection. The 1851-O is one of the most challenging pieces in the Seated quarter set, beginning with a mintage under 100,000 pieces. The Coinage Act of 1853 likely caused much of this small mintage to be melted, with the result that survivors are legitimately rare. Deep gold-grey blankets the obverse of this example, while the reverse is lighter with occasional crust in the eagle. Briggs 1-B, with mintmark placed to the left. CAC has approved a mere twenty pieces in all grades combined - few cared about these at the time of issue, and the survival of quality pieces was strictly a matter of chance. Housed in a Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder.

This example exhibits deep slate surfaces with the central figures a shade lighter. Marks are scattered and there are no major disturbances. Strike is typical for the issue, with flat stars and the eagle detail blending together. The New Orleans Mint never produced coinage with the overall quality of the mother Mint in Philadelphia, and weak strikes are common. CAC has approved only 18 pieces in all grades combined. This is a challenging issue to begin with, and especially so when originality is further taken into account. Housed in a Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	Seated 25C	1853/4 Arrows & Rays	EF40	PCGS 13589061	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$550	New September 13! Choice Original, West Coast Collection. The 1853 Arrows & Rays quarter is a high-mintage issue with a large number of die varieties. This, the 1853/4, is listed in the Guide Book and has long been a favorite of cherrypickers. The present example features medium, even grey fields, dotted with crust on the obverse, while the reverse is more uniform in color. The CAC population is 22 pieces, a low number and reflective of the challenge in assembling a fully original set of Seated quarters. Housed in a Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	Seated 25C	1854-O Huge O	VG10	PCGS 16636799	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$1300	New September 13! Huge O, Well Preserved, Choice Surfaces, Top 25 Varieties Set, West Coast Collection. The appeal of the 1854-O Huge-O variety is undeniable, with a fat, prominent mintmark and significant reverse detail effaced by die polishing. This example exhibits silver color with grey streaks traversing the obverse, while the reverse shading is somewhat more even. Liberty and the eagle are both outlined in grey, leading to silver fields with deeper shades at the rims. Varieties that are plainly visible to the naked eye attract more collector interest, and the Guide Book listing of the "Huge-O" is no surprise, making this one of the most popular varieties in the series. CAC has approved 29 pieces. Housed in a Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	Seated 25C	1856-S Large S/Small S	G06	PCGS 29104083	Briggs 4-E	Original	HOLD $435	New September 13! Large S/Small S, Crusty Original, Ideal for Top 25 Varieties Set, West Coast Collection. A Red Book-listed variety, the 1856-S/s features a large 'S' mintmark punched over a smaller 'S'. The 1856-S is a low-mintage issue to begin with, and with the variety attribution becomes even more challenging. Brownish-grey tones dominate both sides of this example, with the fields a touch lighter than the central figures. The strike is typical, with flat stars and elements of the eagle joining together. Although not the highest grade, there is no substitute for rarity, and any example of this challenging variety easily qualifies as rare. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder.
	Seated 25C	1856-S	G04	PCGS 12522272	Briggs 2-C	Choice	HOLD $390	New September 13! Choice Original, West Coast Collection. The extensive run of low-mintage dates is one of the appealing aspects of the Liberty Seated quarter series. The 1856-S fits right in, with a production of 286,000 pieces. This piece exhibits silver-colored central devices framed by more deeply shaded fields. The rims are full and some of the inner device detail, including the reverse shield verticals, remains evident. Briggs 2-C, with a downward sloping date and centered mintmark. CAC has approved a mere 21 pieces in all grades combined. Housed in a Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	Seated 25C	1860-S	G06	PCGS 13050046	Briggs 1-A	Choice	HOLD $1350	New September 13! Rare Date, Important Low Grade opportunity, Choice Original, West Coast Collection. Along with the 1864-S and 1872-S, the 1860-S always draws attention when viewing a group of Seated quarters. While much has been written about the conditional rarity of examples at the EF level and above, the 1860-S is a tough coin in all grades. This is a pleasing silver-toned example, with no distracting spots or discoloration. The obverse is arguably VG, with nearly a full LIBERTY, while the reverse rims are not quite full. This is a typical wear pattern seen among Seated quarters, reflecting the effects of normal circulation on the coin's original relief. A few handling marks are evident on both sides and consistent with the assigned grade. CAC has certified only 21 pieces in all grades combined. Housed in a Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

Hard money disappeared during the Civil War, and the low mintage of the 1865 quarter (58,800 pieces) is no surprise. This piece is gray toned with silver at the high points, a characteristic "look" in the West Coast collection. A few lines around the eagle's head are consistent with the VF grade. Briggs 1-A, with repunched 1 in the date, and weakness in the star centers. PCGS has certified 137 pieces in all grades, a fraction of the populations typically seen for Morgan dollars and other 20th century issues. Housed in Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	Seated 25C	1865-S	F12	PCGS 11593479	Briggs 1-A	Original	$400	New September 13! West Coast Collection. Yet another low-mintage date in the Seated quarter series, the 1865-S was struck to the extent of 41,000 pieces. This example exhibits deep grey fields that contrast with silver tones in Liberty and the eagle. A few marks are evident within the figure of Liberty and the right obverse field. The strike is typical, with softness in the eagle feathers. This is a later die state, as noted by Briggs, with the tops of 8 and 6 in the date worn away.

	Seated 25C	1867	VF25	PCGS 16573668	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$1300	New September 13! Choice Original, West Coast Collection. The 1867 quarter has a characteristic look, with noticeable weakness in the obverse shield ribbon. This serves to distinguish the business strikes, which are actually more desirable than the proofs, which sometimes happens within the Seated series. This piece exhibits olive-gray surfaces that frame central figures with silver color at the high points. Shading is even throughout, without spots or distractions. The strike is typical, with a few star centers barely evident. CAC liked the originality of the piece, and their overall population is low, with 23 pieces certified. Housed in a Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.

This piece is just about perfect for the assigned grade, with smooth surfaces and pleasing, uniform rose-copper shading. Protected areas contrast nicely and present a deep gray background. Briggs 1-A, with a cut in the lower portion of the mintmark. This reverse die is shared with the 1866-S and 1869-S quarters. CAC has certified only ten example across all grades. This piece will move quickly - if seeking a lower-grade 1867-S quarter with CAC certification, there are only a handful even in existence, and the opportunities to acquire them are few and far between. Technical grade isn't everything - a lower grade piece with superb eye appeal is often a far better buying decision. Housed in a Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

	Seated 25C	1871	EF45	PCGS 15249777		Choice	HOLD $365	New September 13! Choice Original, West Coast Collection.

Olive and deep indigo shades blanket the surfaces, while the high points of Liberty and the eagle exhibit silver color. The strike is sharp, with defined stars and clear separation in the reverse detail. Housed in a Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

The Close 3 is distinct variety in the quarter series, with the balls of the 3 in the date nearly touching. This effect is plainly visible with the naked eye, and the variety, first popularized by Harry X Boosel of the Chicago Coin Club, is highly popular. This is a grey-toned piece, more mottled on the reverse, with silver at the high points. Field are original and free of significant distractions. CAC has approved only 12 pieces in all grades combined.

Surfaces are original and mark-free for the assigned technical grade. Briggs 2-B, with the date sloping upward from left to right. The CAC population is 32 pieces.

Late date Seated quarters are highly desirable, especially in business strike format. This low-mintage piece exhibits mottled tones of gold, blue, and russet, with silver at the high points.

Semi-Key Date, Residual Frosty Luster, Original Surfaces, RCA Collection. 1897 San Francisco strikes totaled a low 542,229 pieces.

The 1854 With Arrows quarter is always popular as a two-year type coin, and, even though a more common issue, quarters collectors building date and mintmark sets still require an example of each emission. Russet tones peak from the protected areas of this piece, more so on the reverse, surrounding silver and grey fields. Strike is typical with a few stars not completely detailed. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2014-2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	Seated 25C	1869-S	VF35	PCGS 16333578	Briggs 1-A	Original	$895	New September 8! Consignor Buyout, Price Reduction - Scarce San Francisco Date, Gray-Rose Coloring, Partial Obverse Die Crack Die State. This is somewhat underrated issue, with only 86,400 pieces struck and 124 pieces reported by PCGS in all grades combined. The Seated series is full of such issues, which is undoubtedly an attraction among collectors for whom there is no substitute for rarity. This obverse of this example is enveloped in shades of blue and olive, while the reverse is a more even gray. The strike is typical, with flat stars and weakness in the lower portion of the eagle. Marks are consistent with the grade, and, on the whole, this is a more than acceptable example of a scarce issue. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 holder (2015-date).

The second of four sequentially numbered Cleveland Centennial half dollars; all are graded MS66 with CAC approval. This offering is serial number (19338643). Intense frosty luster is that of a higher grade. Swirling cartwheels make bright light inspection a lot of fun. As much as I like the golden toning on (19338635), the exceptional luster wins the day. At the asking price, consider buying both as conversation pieces. Housed in old PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. Prices jump quickly for MS67 graded Clevelands and this offering is so close to the next grade other than a few tiny luster breaks on the reverse.

Tall Date, Frosty Luster, Complete Strike, Untoned, Sooner Collection. 1846 Tall Date strikes are scarcer than those found with the Medium Date punch. Bugert has reported that six obverse dies were produced with the Tall Date punch while nine with the Medium Date punch. This Sooner Collection duplicate offering is the WB-12 Tall Date die pairing with bold reverse die cracks that facilitate attribution. Frosty luster is the highlight along with a complete strike. Surfaces have a few scattered micro-ticks of no consequence though the lack of toning suggests a dip before being certified. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

Gun metal gray patina along with peripheral gold and embedded rose nicely "dress up" this original 1846 Medium Date Seated half. The WB-5 die pairing captures a repunched date that was previously listed by some as an 1846/5 overdate. Bugert opines that this variety is a repunched 6 with remnants of an unfinished logotype surrounding the last two digits. The reverse has a centering hole at the left vertical shield lines. A quality example with steely fields that are essentially unabraded. Housed in ANACS old white holder with "Med Date WB-102 RPD" listed on the label. From the Sooner Collection.

Type 2 Indian Princess $1 gold is always in the demand due to type coin status. Maintaining an adequate supply in GFRC inventory has proven to be challenging. I'm pleased to be offering this frosty original example with uniform strike and residual cartwheel luster. Mint bloom remains around the obverse legend and within protected device areas. An ideal candidate, at the AU55 price point, for a United States gold type set when CAC approval is mandated. Fairly graded and housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$10	1898-S Liberty	MS62	PCGS 85184331		Choice	HOLD $1600	New September 6! Mirrored Fields, Light Orange-Gold Coloring, Hammered Strike, CAC Approval. Adding mirrored or proof like U.S. gold to GFRC inventory is always a pleasure. This 1898 San Francisco struck eagle offers moderately mirrored fields and reflective luster. Cartwheel action is active and pleasing during bright light inspection. Coloring is light orange-gold though I see hints of green coloring under a light source. Surfaces have a few ticks that are consistent with the assigned grade. Strike is hammered throughout both sides. Overall, a well balance and pleasing $10 eagle that was appropriately rewarded during its visit to Far Hills, NJ. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$2.5	1847-O Liberty	AU53	PCGS 10814160		Choice	$900	New September 6! Early New Orleans Issue, Scarce Grade, Better than Average Strike, Green-Gold Coloring, Oakdale Collection. Any knowledgeable U.S. branch mint collector will recognize the value presented by the choice 1847 New Orleans $2.5 gold piece. Both David Akers and Doug Winter comment on how this date is badly struck with weak hair curls and lifeless reverse devices. The Oakdale Collection has consigned an above average example at the scarce AU53 grade level. GFRC has been instructed to offer the piece at $900 though CoinFacts records would suggested a higher asking price. This piece retains ample frosty luster and brings a bold strike, for the issue, to the table. Coloring is greenish-gold across choice surfaces. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with "Stecher Collection" pedigree on the label. Let's go with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as fully warranted.
	Gold G$2.5	1850 Liberty	VF35	PCGS 37621031		Choice	$440	New September 6! Early $2.5 Gold, Green-Gold Coloring, Honest Wear, CAC Approval. The lone 1850 $2.5 quarter eagle CAC approved at the VF35 grade level with one in EF40 and three in EF45. This lovely offering is the lowest graded specimen with CAC approval given how strict the criteria are for stickering early gold. Greenish-gold coloring and unmolested surfaces scream originality. Reverse strike is typical with nothing but honest wear. An ideal specimen for a lowball registry set. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. CDN CAC quide pricing is $476 as a reference.
	Gold G$20	1895 Liberty	MS63	PCGS 38343228		Choice	$2800	New September 6! Prooflike, Sharp Reflective Mirrors, Greenish-Gold Coloring, Fresh CAC Approval, Osprey Collection. I'm thoroughly impressed with this Osprey $20 double eagle consignment that has a fresh CAC green bean. A bold prooflike 1895 dated specimen with sharp reflective mirrors that scream during bright light review. Securing higher Mint State grades on larger denominations with mirrored surfaces is challenging since the field chatter has no where to hide. For this example, I see a moderate amount of micro field chatter that is consistent with the grade. But eye appeal can trump technical grades on occasion. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$3	1856 Princess	AU55	NGC 2501063003		Choice	HOLD $1385	New September 6! Choice $3 Princess Type, Lightly Mirrored Fields, Green-Gold Coloring, CAC Approval. Adding a well preserved $3 gold piece to GFRC inventory is always a big deal, especially with CAC approval. $3 gold was the ideal size for Victorian era jewelry makers. As a result, much of the mintage has been impaired with holes and cuts from being mounted in bezels. This new 1856 offering is perfectly preserved with unabraded fields that are lightly mirrored. Pleasing bright light viewing is assured due to pristine fields. Coloring is green-gold. Housed in newer NGC holder with CAC approval. An ideal offering for a U.S. gold type set where the CAC green bean is mandatory.

Important No Drapery Type, Natural Light Gray, Choice Surfaces, Above Average Strike, Sooner Collection. 1839 brought the Philadelphia Mint transitional from the Capped Bust to Liberty Seated design. The initial 1839 strikes will be found with no drapery at the right facing elbow. Later strikes of that year will have drapery creating a two design type for single year. The No Drapery type is in constant demand for type sets and regular date and mintmark sets. The Sooner Collection is releasing a choice duplicate that belongs in an advance collection. Light gray patina overlays both sides. Steely fields still retain some luster during bright light inspection. Strike weakness is a chronic issue for 1839 No Drapery halves. Typically, the lower reverse devices are flatly struck. This example has an above average reverse strike but does show weakness on the upper left obverse stars. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder.

It is well known that 1843 Philadelphia strikes comes with extensive reverse die cracks. This WB-18 is one of the die pairs that will experience early fatigue and cracking. Die cracks are limited to the upper left legend and the beginning of cracking down through the eagle's head. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder and attractively priced.

A fully choice 1850 New Orleans strike with steely fields and crisp reflective luster. Strike is hammered on both sides with haloing around the obverse stars. Reverse devices are found in high relief and deeply impressed. This date remains underrated as the surviving population has been impacted by wholesale melting of Seated quarters and half for their bullion content during the silver arbitrage period of 1850 through 1852. A wonderful "duplicate" from the Sooner Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

Worthy of a trip to Far Hills, NJ. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

Serious eye appeal arrives with this wonderful 1839 F-106c Seated dime offering. Moderate frosty luster highlights peripheral aquamarine-gold that surrounds a rose center.

	Seated 10C	1840 Drapery	VF25	PCGS 20527143	F-101	Choice	$475	New September 3! With Drapery, Better Date, Crusty Gray, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal. 1840 With Drapery dimes are always in demand due to much lower availability than earlier No Drapery counterparts. It appears that few collectors paid attention to the 1840 design hub transition. Instead the mintage circulated heavily leaving just a handful of true Mint State examples for modern day collectors. This VF25 graded example is well preserved after spending a fair amount of time in circulation. Fields are toned a natural gray while wear points have much lighter coloring. The result is circulated cameo eye appeal for those so inclined. Surfaces are unabraded, another important factor contributing to overall eye appeal. CAC has only approved two pieces at the VF25 grade level. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated 10C	1856 Large Date	AU53	PCGS 37098889	F-101	Choice	$325	New September 3! Large Date, Scarce Grade, Crusty Olive-Gold Patina, Choice Surfaces, Full Strike, Wisconsin Collection. Price Reduction September 3 2020 - While 1856 Small Date dimes are quite common in all grades, the Large Date counterpart is available in circulated grades but becomes challenging in AU and rare at the Mint State level. The Wisconsin Collection has recently upgraded its 1856 Large Date example and released this crusty original F-101 example with full strike. Both sides are covered with thick olive-gold toning. Bright light inspection reveals a pretty burnt gold peripheral ring. Choice surfaces are free of any abrasions. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with Large Date attribution on the label.
	Seated 10C	1862	MS63	NGC 3607551006	F-101a	Choice	$485	New September 3! Business Strike from Proof Dies, Mirrored Fields, Ebony-Blue Peripheral Toning, Choice Surfaces. This 1862 F-101a dime must have been one of the earlier circulation strikes once proof production was completed. Fields are mirrored and provide sharp reflective luster under a light source. The darker obverse rose and aquamarine shift to blues while the reverse holds its rose center with peripheral blue. Toning patterns are consistent with surviving proof strikes. A lovely example and no question business strike given the weakness on both sides. Wire rims are well elevated. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
	Seated 10C	1869-S	EF45	PCGS 35613174	F-101a	Original	$425	New September 3! Small Thin S, Near-Choice, Light Rose-Gray, Olive Highlights. Accurately Graded. 1869 San Francisco struck dimes were accomplished with two die pairings, each with different styled mintmarks. The Small Thin S mintmark is easy to spot as compared to the Weak S. This F-101 Thin S example is toned a uniform rose-gray with olive highlights at the peripheries. Dies are in a medium die state with erosion but not severe enough to be attributed at F-101a. Strike is typical for the date with some device weakness on the reverse. Accurately graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

Superb Eye Appeal, Reflective Fields, No Question Original and Choice . 1850 New Orleans quarters don't typically come nice. Either the strike is weak or the surfaces have issues from extended periods in circulation. This 1850-O Briggs 1-B has neither issues. Strike is well defined or about as good as one can expect. Surfaces are unabraded and pleasing to my eyes. Fields still retain some steely luster when examined under a light source. Reverse offers wonderful circulated cameo appearance given the dark ebony-blue fields. No CAC attempt to my knowledge but worthy. Conservatively graded and housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

A most pleasing 1914 Philadelphia struck Barber dime with brilliant frosty luster and eye appeal of a higher grade. Bright light inspection reveals dancing cartwheels and a reverse that is full MS65 or better. Why is this piece only graded MS64?

A lovely offering from the Pike Peak Collection that is housed in a PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder. This holder has the barcode on the back label.

An impressive 1909 Denver strike with minimal wear and light pewter gray coloring. Soft obverse luster gives way to richer reverse mint frost and cartwheel action.

Yet another Barber coinage date where CAC approved Mint State survivors far out number those in the EF and AU grades. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval.

GFRC images accurately capture coloring, choice surfaces, and overall eye appeal. The undertype is visible below the knob of the 6 digit while the 0 digit is recut.

In-hand inspection will not reveal this anomaly, rather an inital assessment of a lovely early copper piece that should grade PR63/PR64. I went hunting for the technical issue with my trusty 10x loupe and noted a tiny spot, to the right of UN(I)TED, that was carefully removed leaving a break in the natural patina. The workmanship is excellent as the piece must be angled exactly under a bright light to expose the luster break. I don't believe the buyer will be disappointed at the offer price.

Like other Trade dollar issues, 1874 Philadelphia strikes were shipped to the Orient as commercial payment.

A exceptional example of the 1841 F-103 repunched date with natural gun metal gray skin and residual frosty luster. All diagnostics are bold.

The 1841 F-103 die pairing is much scarcer than F-104 when the obverse is paired with a second reverse die that shows progressive die rust. This lovely example was employed for the macro images for the F-103 die variety at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors or fondly known as the "web-book". Purchased raw at the January 2000 Winter FUN show and later graded. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval.

This offerings was struck at the end of the die pairing's lifespan. Heavy die cracks are seen throughout the reverse legend along with missing reverse vertical shields lines.

Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval. Another quality duplicate from the Tenafly Collection.
	Seated 25C	1873 No Arrows, Closed 3	F15	NGC 1884789005		Choice	HOLD $1100	New August 27! No Arrows, Closed 3, Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces, Tenafly Collection. The 1873 No Arrows Closed 3 variety is a well known rarity in the Liberty Seated quarter series. Mintage is only 40,000 with a low survival rate. Care must be taken to check the reverse shield for diagnostics that separate true circulation strikes from proof strikes.

The Barber coinage series are full of surprises since this design circulated heavily for years. Once entering circulation, Barber coinage circulated through the Great Depression.

	Seated 10C	1868-S	AU53	PCGS 19911830	F-101a	Original	$850	New August 25! Underrated Date at Offered Grade, Natural Gray Patina, Obvious Reverse Strike Doubling. 1868 Seated dime San Francisco strikes are slowly securing their deserved recognition. This date has been underrated for years and locating any example in problem free AU or better is cause for celebration. Mintage is a low 260,000 pieces with PCGS population report showing only eleven graded in all AU grades (AU50, AU53, AU55 and AU58). Considering PCGS has been in operation since 1986, that is one example graded every three years. Surprisingly, this date is more available in Mint State with twenty pieces graded. The offered example is strictly original with classic gray patina and residual luster that is stronger on the reverse. Overall strike is better than average strick from early die state dies. The reverse exhibits heavy strike doubling at the lower ribbon ends and mintmark. Interestingly, Breen listed this strike doubling as #3347 in his Encyclopeida and commented, "1868-S Doubled rev. die, Very rare. Doubling obvious on ribbons and parts of the wreath." Research by Fortin has proven that the "doubling" is actually strike doubling and not working die doubling during hubbing process. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. From the Palos Verdes Collection.
	Seated 25C	1855-S	AU50	NGC 1893373008	Briggs 1-A	Original	$1650	New August 25! Rare Reverse A Crumbled Die State, Initial Seated Quarter Produced at San Francisco Mint, Rose-Gray Patina, Palos Verdes Collection. The Palos Verdes Collection is releasing an important crumbled reverse die example of the Briggs 1-A die pairing. Noted Seated half dollar specialist, Greg Johnson, discusses the progressive reverse die disintegration of 1855-5 Reverse A in a E-Gobrecht Article dating back to December 2010 (http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/Quarter_QOM/1855s_lds_rev.htm). In that article, Greg presents an image of an 1855-S reverse that illustrates "the crumbling of the die around the eagle and STATES OF AMERICA and states that, "After looking for these coins for more than 4 years I think, with enough patience, it is possible for the interested collector to put together a die progression of this reverse die if one is not too picky about the condition and grade of the coins. Such a progression would begin with early die states that show no abnormal wear or deterioration and proceed through intermediate die states that show the beginning of the deterioration around the eagle and legend, concluding with very late die states in which there appears to be nearly as much metal in the halo around the eagle as there is making up the eagle itself." The 1855-S Seated quarter date is the first quarter struck at the San Francisco mint. Reverse A is probably the first reverse die to be used until fully disintegrated. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. An important acquisition for the Liberty Seated quarter die variety specialist.

A beautifully toned honey-orange example with considerable satin luster remaining. The devices are deeply impressed and bold. Surfaces are remarkably smooth for an early $10 eagle that saw minmal time in circulation. Bass-Dannreuther 5 is among the rarest of the ten known die marriages of the 1799 Heraldic eagle.

There seems to be a disconnect between this 1915 $10 Indian and its NGC holder. The Osprey Collection is well known for locating U.S. gold with above average eye appeal and surfaces. When I look up after inspecting the coin and saw MS60 on the NG label, a double take was necessary. Brilliant frosty luster is eye catching and of a higher grade. There are no notable abrasions other than typical micro chatter seen on $10 Indians. I don't typical issue a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for a coin graded MS60 but will make an exception in this case. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	Gold G$5	1802/1 Draped Bust	AU58	NGC 652843001		Choice	$18500	New August 24! Draped Bust Large Eagle Type, Frosty Luster, Orange-Gold Coloring, Choice Surfaces, Osprey Collection.

	Barber 50C	1913-S	AU58	PCGS 28651406		Choice	HOLD $800	New August 23! Scarce AU and Better, Bold Steely Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Faint Pewter-Chrome Coloring, Lots of Eye Appeal. Let's open the description with a mea culpa concerning the images of this choice 1913 San Francisco Barber half dollar strike. The images do not accurately capture the overall beauty and especially the bold steely luster that explodes under a light source. Cartwheels action is dazzling with the speckled toning not coming into focus. Toning can be best described as pewter-chrome given the surface texture. A quality example of a scarce date in AU and very scarce in Mint State. There is one micro line in the right obverse field that would probably hold the piece back from CAC approval. Otherwise lots of eye appeal on display. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder.

Circulated cameo eye appeal is always in demand among sophisticated collectors therefore, I expect this 1866-S offering to not last long on the price list.
