Choice $2850 New September 17! Semi-Scarce Date, A Near-Gem, New Orleans Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. The 1898 New Orleans quarter issue is a semi-scarce date with a limited number of certified example in MS64 or better. Full gems are very rare with near-gems being the last affordable grade for many collectors. This newly released New Orleans Collection duplicate display rose-gold and blue shades across the obverse while the reverse is untoned other than hints of gold at the borders. The originality is undeniable with granular frosted luster being pronounced under a bright light. Since the reverse is untoned, the cartwheel action is quite vibrant, though a bit muted on the obverse. It is reported that this date suffers from strike issue which is seen at the lower right eagle talons and arrow feathers. A strong example for an advanced collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

Gem $3750 New September 17! Better Philadephia Date, Rich Honey-Gold, Sparkling Frosted Luster. GFRC Pricing Reduction - Sparkling frosted luster is the highlight of this gem 1909 half eagle. The application of angled lighting, with my desk lamp, allows the surfaces to radiate light in all directions. Coloration is a rich honey-gold with background greens.

 Choice $1375 New September 17! Rare Small Date, Natural Coin Gray, Choice Surfaces, New Orleans Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. The growing popularity of the 1842-O Small Date quarter can be directly tied to its inclusion in the Top 25 Variety set as published by Greg Johnson in the LSSC's Gobrecht Journal and listed as a collecting objective in the GFRC Open Set Registry. That set was added to www.seateddimevarieties.com for simplistic referencing including a pricing guide. This New Orleans Collection duplicate is fully choice with natural coin-gray patina. A premium example with honest wear and essentially unabraded surfaces. Separately the Large and Small Date punches for this date can be challenging at times. A key marker is the sharp of the 1 digit flag. The Large Date has a pointed flag while the Small Date has a blunt flag. The CAC census stands at 36 with a price guide value at $1500. An excellent entry point for this four figure die variety. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval and the Small Date attribution on the label.

 Choice $7150 New September 17! Exceptional Eye Appeal, Important Pittman Pedigree, Mirrored Fields, New Orleans Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Frankly, little needs to be said concerning this exceptionally attractive 1845-O WB-9 duplicate from the New Orleans Collection. The images accurately illustrate the gorgeous toning that is so synonymous with the Pittman pedigree. Whether in-hand or under a bright light, the obverse center orange-rose and surrounding blues are quite consistent. What the images are unable to communicate are the underlying mirrored fields that allow the blues to just explode with color vibrancy. This is by far not your typical 1845-O half, rather another testament to the collecting prowess of John Jay Pittman. The strike is 100% complete and the fields are pristine. I don't understand why this piece does not have a CAC green bean. Destined for one of the finest Liberty Seated half dollar collections under construction. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder.

 Gem $16500 New September 17! Condition Census, Superb Gem Original, Steely Reflectance, New Orleans Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. The New Orleans Collection makes a splash with the release of one of the finest 47-O half dollars extant, with just a single MS65+ graded finer at PCGS. While the mintage of 2,584,000 was sizable for the era, Mint State survivors are unfrequently encountered with any Mint State example being an important rarity in MS64 or finer. Our WB-2 example excels under a bright light with steely reflective fields that are the epitome of undisturbed viewing. The luster is uniform on both sides and a further testament of the unquestionable originality. Though the GFRC images indicate darkly toned surfaces, bright light inspection is a completely different experience with light pastel rose and sky blues dominating the luster. Reverse presentation is similar with golden hues within the legend lettering. The strike is complete and the fields are pristine. This coin has all the hallmarks of a gem and is in the condition census. Advanced Liberty Seated half dollars collectors should take note as the PCGS price guide is $22,500 as reference.

What a notable pedigree for this choice original 1868 F-106a Liberty Seated dime! This piece was owned and sold by Kam Ahwash to Allen Lovejoy on August 15, 1977 and remained in Lovejoy's collection until the Stack's October 1990 sale of Lovejoy's entire U.S. dime collection. After the late 1990 sale, this 1868 dime subsequently appeared in an April 1992 Coin Galleries Sale and went into the Gerry Fortin reference collection until being released during late 2018. Originally catalogged as Brilliant Circulated by Stack's and described as "Pale gray and blue colors. Iridescent peripheries". Indeed under a bright light, the obverse is toned a crusty pale gray with golden borders while the reverse is a combination of aquamarine, gray and blue shades. This piece is well struck and presently the F-106a plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

Gem $14500 New September 7! Condition Census Offering, Exceptional Eye Appeal, Gem Original. A very special GFRC offering, this condition census 1878-S offering presents undisturbed steely-frosted luster and active cartwheels under a bright light. The coloration is as equally pleasing as the luster, though difficult to fully illustrate with my images. Light rose patination is uniformly layered across the obverse with a thin aquamarine arc at the periphery. The reverse toning colors are identical though less extensive. The strike is essentially complete with star 8 lacking a center point. Fields are pristine with only a minor and toned over contact pioint between the mintmark and denomination being seen with 10x. Let's move on to grade rarity as this is the key reason for placing a coin of this caliber in an advanced collection. Briggs opines that the date is scarcer than the 140,000 mintage would suggest due to melting for the new Morgan dollars. Circulated examples can be found but many have issues consistent with western frontier commerce. Checking the PCGS guide for the gem populaiton , there are two graded MS65, an MS65+, and two at MS66. The CAC gem approved population is 16 in all grades with two at MS65 and a single MS66. So where does this NGC MS65+ fit into this upper census? Based on my eyes, this example is full MS65 and unquestionably original. The offer price is a tad below CAC MS65 guide as the PCGS numbers are much too aggressive. The current plan is to offer this lot at the Manchester NH and Baltimore shows, and if not sold, it is heading to CAC for review with the associated price bump if it stickers. Now is your opportunity to front run that submission or another buyer. Housed in a new large font NGC holder.

This date punch variety is scarcer than the Small Date in term of survival rate though a Jackson Tennessee hoard elevated the number of higher grade pieces when discovered during the 1980s.

I've seen few 1839-O F-109 examples in any grade during my two decades plus of working with Seated dimes.

The reverse exhibits a small O mintmark but from a different style punch fr0m previously documented dies of that year. The F-109 die pairing is the last use of the "Huge O" obverse die as most of the lower devices are effaced at this point.

Mintage for 1856 New Orleans struck dimes is 1,180,000 but like many of the With Stars dates from the southern mint, Mint State survivors are cherished rarities.

 Gem $3250 New September 2! Superb Gem Type 1 Obverse Presentation, Brilliant Reflective Mirrors, Tenafly Collection.. What a pleasure to be again offering this magnificent 1860 proof strike that originated from the Washington State Collection. 1860 brought 1,000 proof strike with the newly engraved and hubbed Type 1 obverse design per Longacre-Paquet. The design proved to be unpopular due to rapid wear of the high points and a flat overall appearance. When examining this piece, one of the finer extant, the intricate device details become apparent. I promptly noted that Liberty's legs and breasts are quite elevated as compared to the low relief head details. Fields are brilliant reflective and surround frosted motifs. The Cameo eye appeal is thoroughly pleasing. If attempting to build a Liberty Seated dime proof set collection (1856-1891), this example will set the bar for premium quality and warrants a strong bid.

If there is one thing I've learned during the submission of a personal Liberty Seated dime collection to CAC, it is that CAC is very demanding on proof strikes. Any high end Cameo proof with a green bean should be promptly considered. CAC has approved only seven 1865 Cameo proof dimes in the PR64 through PR66 grade range. Populations and sales records are close to non-existent, leading to difficulties with estimating values with any credibility.

To date, no explanation has been offered for this anomaly but a filled die with foreign substance would be a logical hypothesis. Much to my surprise, there is a choice original F-101a example in the Tenafly Collection. Even without the rare die state, this 1865-S dime is highly desirable.

Carson City dimes dated 1875 through 1877 are fairly plentiful, but the initial 1871 through 1874 issues from the legendary Old West facility are unquestionably rare. Many survivors will be encountered with granular surfaces or worse, obvious porosity. It is known that the planchet alloy was not to the required 90%:10% Silver: Copper alloy since copper was a scarce metal in the southwest. As a result, the lack of copper enabled a higher probability for rapid corrosion and environmental damage. This choice original stone-gray and aquamarine specimen has pleasing surfaces aside from a single thin mark to the left of the date at the denticles. LIBERTY is sharper than would be expected for the assigned VF25 grade. The CAC census is a meager 17 examples in all grades with this example being the lone approved between F12 and EF40, a notable gap when reserve price setting is considered.

$695 		New August 28! Repunched 89, Medium O/O, Mirrored Fields, Reflective Luster, Near-Gem Original. The 1891-O F-106 obverse is in an early die state with clashing visible around Liberty's head and between the cap and Liberty's head. There is no rim cudding on this specimen as seen on the later F-106a die state. Repunching of the date is plain in the lower loops of the 89 digits. The reverse is also in an early die state with no die cracks. The Medium O mintmark has punch artifacts within its center causing numismatists to speculate as to the mintmark being an O/S or O/O repunched mintmark. My own research, as presented in The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference, suggests a Medium O over O. A near-gem with watery mirrored fields under a bright light. Motifs are completely struck. A few wispy hairlines hold this piece back from a higher grade.

$800 		New August 27! Attractive Surfaces, Fully Choice, West Texas Collection. The 1851-O mintage of only 88,000 strikes is accompanied by a low survival rate. A difficult New Orleans date that is know for less than stellar strikes. The challenge with collecting circulated Liberty Seated quarters is locating choice examples especially when the denomination saw heavy circulation in the deep South. This West Texas offering has premium attributes though not currently having a CAC green bean. Surfaces are perfectly original with just honest wear and a moderate layer of greenish gray patina on both sides. Surfaces are essentially unabraded and notable given the time in commerce. Grading is accurate with strong five and half letters in LIBERTY showing along with bold rims on both obverse and reverse. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

Choice $2750 New August 27! No Arrows, Crusty Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces, West Texas Collection. The 1853 No Arrows date is recognized as one of the Liberty Seated quarter series rarities. Mintage is reported to be 44,200 with two delivers of about equal amounts during February 9 and 17, 1853. As the value of silver bullion exceeded face value, many were immediately exported and melted leading to a rare issue for present day numismatists. PCGS population reports indicate single digit population in most grades with limited auction appearances. This West Texas release is new to GFRC. Both sides features a thick crusty gray patina during in-hand inspection that shifts to delineated rose and blues under a bright light. Surfaces are entirely unabraded with strong rims. Since the L in LIBERTY is missing, this lot is not a CAC candidate. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder.

Choice $1950 New August 27! Rare San Francisco Date, Choice Original, West Texas Collection. The 1858 San Francisco Seated quarter issue becomes extremely challenging in EF and above, and it's no slouch at this VF30 grade level either. The West Texas Collection is back with a boldly struck example that is undoubtedly original given the amount of "dirt" in the protected areas. This offering combines natural steely gray surfaces with background blues when viewed under a bright light. The obverse strike is nearly complete with center points on all stars other than #13 while the reverse is nicely uniform. Mintage is only 121,000 during the formative mining town period on the western frontier. Though not offered with a CAC green bean, this is certainly a pleasing example.

$3250 		New August 27! Key San Francisco Date, Ideal Filler, Environmental Damage, West Texas Collection. The Liberty Seated quarter series key San Francisco date with limited mintage of 83,000. The 1872-S issue is challenging to locate in any grade or condition. Briggs speculates that, "most probably melted in 1873 creating a far greater demand than supply". This West Texas Collection offering is quite attractive regardless of its PCGS Details Cleaning certification. This lot has not been cleaned but rather, is most likely a metal detector find as the surfaces exhibit faint porosity. In terms of eye appeal, the greenish gray coloring and darker peripheral obverse toning leads to a reasonable circulated appearance . An ideal candidate as a filler in a complete Seated quarter set or for inclusion in a Dansco or Whitman bookshelf album collection as nearly every set has this hole unfilled. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) holder and attractive priced.

$800 		New August 27! Low CAC Population, Choice Original, Saw Mill Run, Collection. Pleasing, frosty luster is more abundant than the images might suggest. Capturing three-dimensional aspects with a single image is an art, and it is fair to observe that most GFRC clients are pleasantly surprised when comparing the actual coin in hand to the image. Both sides of this San Francisco piece exhibit underlying silver patina with bits of dirt scattered in the recessed areas. The obverse further admits light russet color, particularly toward the rim. The CAC census notes 28 pieces in all grades, with six uncirculated examples. CACG has holdered an incremental 10 pieces in all grades for reference. Well-struck, with a few flat stars, while the claw and feather detail is more complete. The low CAC population cannot be emphasized enough – original examples of Liberty Seated coinage can be elusive, and careful examination of the CAC census will reveal numerous opportunities for the astute collector.

The overall strike is intricately detailed with keen insight into Liberty's hair curls.
