$95 		New June 17! Hand Cut Dies, Light White Metal, Rotated Reverse, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. This 1842 contemporary counterfeit, from hand cut dies, was previously described in the July 1981 Gobrecht Journal by John McCloskey. John indicated his example weighed only 33 grains, some 8 grains lighter than genuine pieces. All examples seen have been in a white metal. Found with varying degrees of reverse rotation. This offering has a weight of 2.1 grams versus 2.67 grams for normal mint strike dime of that period. This strictly original piece saw considerable circulation and has been in the Gerry Fortin reference collection since September 1988. It was purchased at a local Maine coin show as a genuine piece per the seller. This is the plate coin for the Contemporary Counterfeit module at www.seateddimevarieties.com.

$85 		New June 17! Obverse of 1849 F-101, Thin Level Date, Medal Turn Die Alignment, Casted Origin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. This 1849 specimen appears to be cast from a mold with obverse characteristics matching that of 1849 F-101 dimes. The thin date digits and date placement are the diagnostics that lead to this conclusion. 1849 F-101 is the most common 1849 variety, therefore one could expect that a coin from U.S. Mint served as model for counterfeiting purposes. The offered example was purchased during February 2001 and is the only example seen since that time. Weight is 2.1 grams as compared to 2.67 grams for genuine mint product. There is not reeding with the potential mold inlet at star 5 based on metal deformity. Obverse : reverse alignment is medal turn. Listed as C-101 is the contemporary counterfeit module at www.seateddimevarieties.com.

The Type 1 F-103 obverse can be characterized by a weakly punched date. The date digit punch barely penetrated the die's surface leaving a faint impression. Easily and R4 rarity or better as i have seen as few examples of this die pairing. The reverse is perfect but comes with a weak denomination at the die's center point. In particular the letters O(N)E and D(IM)E were marginally transferred to the working die. The offered example is strictly original with light uniform gray patina. Residual luster is evident on both sides but especially in the reverse. Strike is weak at the obverse head.

R4 		Original $1450 New June 16! Medal Coin Turn Die Alignment, Very Scarce Die Variety, Thick Crusty Original Ebony-Gray Patina, Titan Collection. The 1839-O Reeded Edge date is always in demand. With the introduction of Dick Graham's "A Registrry of Die Varieties for Reeded Edge Half Dollars 1836-1839", collectors can take their reeded edge half dollar passion to new levels. The 1839-O GR-4 die variety is very scarce according to Graham. He then explains that the initial production setup for the GR-4 die pairing was mistakenly done with medal coin turn die alignment and corrected shortly thereafter. A few examples, with medal coin turn die alignment, have reached the market in the last 15 years with all being in lower circulated grades. This offering is completely new to market. Surfaces are 100% original and covered with thick crusty ebony-gray patina on both sides. There are no blemishes as this piece was well preserved. Grading is accurate but again the value lies in the GR-4 die variety rarity and the rare die alignment. Freshly graded and housed in new large font NGC holder.

Purchased way back at the 2001 Winter FUN show as a raw MS62 and subsequently holdered as an AU58.

Choice $1850 New June 13! Near Gem Original, Crusty Gray Patina, Active Mirrors, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection . At GFRC, we like our LIberty Seated coinage, including proofs, to have 100% natural surfaces and crusty gray patina where possible. This is the case for this near gem original 1859 proof strike. Sourced from a Heritage auction way back during November 2003 due to the atypical crusty obverse toning with incremental gray patina on the reverse. Under the toning are active mirrors. Strike is absolutely hammered. 1859 proofs were minted from two different obverse dies labeled as Obverse 1 and Obverse 2 in the "web-book". Obverse 1 is the more common of the proof obverse dies while Obverse 2 accounts for about one in five of the 1859 proof dimes seen to date. Obverse 2 presents a medium level date while Obverse 1 exhibits a medium date that slopes upward. The two obverse dies are fairly easy to distinguish once the collector understands the existence of both proof varieties. Housed in early blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. The F-102 dime is the proof plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Die Variety Collectors and arriving to market after spending 15 years in the Gerry Fortin reference collection. Again, an atypical proof example for fans of crusty originality.

Liberty Seated half dollars were first struck in 1839 with both No Drapery and Drapery obverse designs. The No Drapery pieces are not scarcer but are popular as a separate design type. This makes comparable With Drapery examples the better value. Despite a relatively high mintage, the 1839 Drapery date is difficult to find in the better uncirculated grades with MS64 being the last affordable grade. Collector challenge is to locate a top end MS64 example and I believe this offering fits that bill. Old time patina covers both sides and is accentuated by satiny cartwheel luster. Bright light viewing is lots of fun with color transition to lighter shade including peripheral blues and aquamarine. During in hand vewing, this specimen displays variegated electric-blue and copper-gold patina. The obverse is fully stuck, though the eagle's left facing leg feathers are soft.

For F-103 and F-104, a full two point grade difference is possible on well circulated examples. This lovely piece is housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert along with CAC approval.

The lower leg is nicely rounded while the rub on reverse eagle feathers is limited. Strike is complete and well executed regardless of the poor die condition. Since the crusty patina is so thick, there is no luster to be had under a light source. Blemish wise, there are none. Let's call this half as conservatively graded, based on wear.

Faint gold is seen at the peripheries. Accurately graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

Frosty cartwheel luster is dramatic on the reverse while champage-gold toning on the obverse adds further coloration. Under a light source, faint die polish lines are seen through Liberty's head and into the cap. These are not as dramatic as those seen on F-106 at the same location. I'm in love with this example due to the classic appearance and eye appeal. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert along with CAC approval.

 Choice $1450 New June 5! Last Year With Stars Design, Choice Original, Light Olive-Gray Patina, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded, Newtown Collection. 1860 brought the transition from the Gobrecht-Hughes With Stars design hubs to the Longacre With Legend designs. The Philadelphia and New Orleans mint started 1860 with obverse dies from the new design hub while the San Francisco mint still employed the former With Stars design on two sets of dies. Mintage for the 1860-S date is only 140,000 pieces but there is a reasonable survival rate in circulated grades. In AU or better, this date becomes quite scarce in AU and rare in mint state. This lovely example is a duplicate from the Newtown Collection and seeks a new home. Frosty surfaces emit sufficient luster that is consistent with the assigned grade. Both sides are covered with transparent olive-gray patina with darker shades on the obverse. Strike is essentially complete with only Liberty's head and the reverse bow knot having higher relief opportunity. Fields and devices are entirely blemish free. A pleasing example that is fairly graded and housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder with edge view insert. Liberty Seated dime specialists should take note of this offering as I've seen enough examples of this date that have issues regardless of TPG grading.

 Choice $1700 New June 5! Long Flag Date Punch, Business Strike, Choice Original, Lilac-Gray Patina, Light Reflective Luster, Newtown Collection. 1869 dimes were struck from two distinctly different date punches; Short Flag 1 and Long Flag 1. Most mint state examples will be seen with the Long Flag 1 date punch as is the case for this offering. Overall, the 1869 date is challenging in all grades and very scarce in mint state. This PCGS MS64 example was struck from the F-105 die pairing used for both proofs and circulation strike. As a result, strike is boldly executed, for a With Legend dime, including a partial wire rim on the obverse. Original surfaces are covered with thick lilac-gray patina along with some ebony highlights. Luster is muted and a bit more prevalent on the reverse. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Another important duplicate from the Newtown Collection of Liberty Seated dimes.

Reverse die bulging is immediately evident from (WE) TRU(ST) to the eagle's breast and again on the right side of the eagle. Heavy die erosion is seen within the bulge. On the obverse, the reverse bulge translate into a small unstruck area on the check. If not for this die condition, one might speculated that a full MS65 grade level could have been assigned. Blemishes are limited to a few scattered ticks but are overwhelmed by the bold luster during in hand and bright light viewing. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder and accurately graded. CAC approval of a MS64+ graded examples indicates overlapping distribution with lower end MS65s. From the Ft. Lauderdale Collection.

The 1841-O F-112 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Die Variety Collectors online reference. Die variety analysis for the 1841 New Orleans date is complex with different die marriage. The story for the F-112 die pairing is best explained directly from my web-book as follows; "Variety F-112 results when Obverse 8 and Reverse F are paired. Obverse is badly rusted with damage being evident in Liberty's chest area. Previously Obverse 8 was paired with Reverse K which suffered a terminal die state cud at 12:00 and probably retired. During the F-112 pairing, Obverse 8 is matched with Reverse F which is also worn and cracked. The legend on Reverse F is weak especially at AM(ERICA) and barely readable on lower grade specimens. The die crack through AMER(I)CA is the primary diagnostic even during this late die state." An interesting example to consider given its pedigree and usage as a plate coin.

R5 		Choice $425 New May 31! Choice Original, Frosty Luster, Late Die States Dies, Accurately Graded, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A choice 1875 San Francisco In Wreath example to consider which also happens to be the F-103a plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Die Variety Collectors online resource. One immediately notes the frosty luster and bold strike regardless of badly eroded and cracked dies. The F-103a die variety/die state is described in my web-book as follows, "Regardless of the die crack through UNITE(D STATES), Obverse 1 is paired with a third reverse die that is labeled as Reverse C. During this die pairing Obverse 1 develops a rim cud at 9:30 which is the origin point for the die crack through UNITE(D STATES). Obverse 1 shows some die erosion but continues to produce fully detailed strikes. Reverse C, during this late die state, is boldly clashed and exhibits a die crack in the lower right wreath that is the primary diagnostic. This die crack touches the right ribbon end before exiting to the rim. Another die crack is seen in the lower left wreath between 7:30 to 9:00. This is a prime location for die cracks on most In Wreath reverse dies and is not suitable as a primary diagnostic point. I have only seen one example of the Variety 103 early die state and two examples of the Variety 103a late date state die pairing after accumulating a substantial number of AU through Mint States pieces during a twenty year timeframe. These die pairings are initially estimated to be R5 which is considered conservative." An important offering that is housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. Recent auction records for 1875-S In Wreath dimes have made a strong upward pricing move. The last three MS62 records are; $480 May 2018, $540 January 2018 and $460 July 2016 against a PCGS Price Guide number of $290. Please understand the basis of the $425 asking price.

The Top 100 set is part of the GFRC Open Set Registry. This example offers gorgeous rose-gold and aquamarine toning coupled with frosty cartwheel luster. The luster is equally balanced on obverse and reverse. The lower reverse has faint lines surrounding the bow knot and between the ribbon ends and the rim. I believe this F-106a example has been net graded by PCGS. Wear is limited to faint rub on the left facing breast and lower leg that is more consistent with AU58 grade. The luster is consistent with many low grade mint state examples. The assigned AU55 is balanced reflection of the strong characteristics and the lower reverse lines.

 Choice $1650 New May 26! Popular Shattered Obverse Terminal Die State, Crusty Gray Patina, Choice Original, Grey Soldier Collection. Ex. Indiana Collection. One of the key varieties to the Top 100 Varieties set due to a spectacular obverse die crack that extends from Liberty's head down through stars 9 - 13 and across the date digits into the left rim below star 1. The die break is severe with shelf metal throughout most of the die crack and one of the latest die states seen. Why this die held together is a function of being use as an anvil die in the production press. If the hammer die (reverse) were as cracked as the obverse, then it would probably have broken apart with a large cud forming. Now that we have discussed the background, let's review this crusty original example from the Grey Soldier Collection. Crusty is the operative word for the thick brown-gray patina that covers obverse and reverse. Surfaces are strictly original, never messed with and choice at the assigned grade level. Reverse strike is surprisingly good given the obverse die degradation. The obverse is weakly struck at the gown line and lower leg, which is typical for the variety. Grading the F-102 variety is better accomplished on the reverse. Fresh from CAC review sumission by Grey Soldier where it was awarded green bean approval. Accurately graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Yet another great Liberty Seated dime variety from none other than the Grey Soldier Collection.

The right obverse field, for whatever reason, was ever so lightly cleaned with faint hairlines seeen under a light source during 10x loupe viewing.

Mintage of 46,900. 1867 dated Liberty Seated dollars are quite elusive among similar dates of that the prior Civil War period. Few are known to exist as Asia export consumed many if not most of the Liberty Seated dollars minted during 1867. The trade with the Orient countries become active after the Civil War and most heavy silver pieces were shipped in liu of Mexican coinage. John W. McCloskey has written in the November 1982 Gobrecht Journal that, "The 1867 dollar is very rare and underrated in all circulated grades and is possibly the rarest of the Philadelphia Mint with-motto dates. The offered example is very well preserved with honest wear and light gray patina. Housed in PCGS old green holder with CAC approval. Surfaces are naturally toned with a few bag marks consistent with the grade. An important GFRC offering for the collector building a mid grade date and mintmark set.
