Choice $1795 New November 27! Scarce Grade, Choice Original, Deep Gray Patination, LaSalle Collection. 2025 Black Friday Sale Offering - The 1867 quarter sits amid a run of low-mintage Philadelphia dates, struck during a period when hard money was scarce and paper substitutes filled the void. Only 20,000 pieces were struck in this year, and, like the 1866 quarter, business strikes are more desirable than proofs. Fortunately, these are easily distinguished, with circulation pieces exhibiting weakness in the obverse shield ribbon. That is clearly the case here, with several letters of LIBERTY indistinct. This piece reveals deep coin gray patination on both sides with embedded golden hues seen under a bright light. Under the toning, steely fields are revealed. Regardless of time during post-Civil War commerce, this piece is essentially unabraded with a typical strike. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

Choice $1475 New November 27! Very Scarce in All Grades, Natural Coin Gray, Choice Surfaces, Lasalle Collection. 2025 Black Friday Sale Offering - 1867 San Francisco quarter strikes are scarce in all grades and become rare in VF or better. Mintage was limited to 48,000 pieces using a leftover reverse die of 1866-S. As a result, reverse strikes tend to be weak for the issue, though obverse strikes are not much better. This LaSalle Collection example exhibits moderate wear with a natural coin gray patina. Darker gray shades outline the reverse motifs. Surfaces have a few scattered micro marks that are certain consistent with the grade level. A potential addition to a date and mintmark set collection that is a more than satisfactory representative of the date. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

Survival of 19th century branch Mint coinage is often a matter of chance, and CAC reports only a single Mint State piece, MS62, which the CAC guide prices at a whopping $72,000. This piece remains well-advanced within the CAC condition census, bested by only four pieces in AU58 and the single MS coin. CAC has approved 19 coins total, and the CAC price guide value in AU55 is $6,000. While finest known status confers the all-important bragging rights, we would rather own, for the same money, a dozen coins like this AU55 example, as opposed to a single piece graded only a few points finer.

The mintage of 31,000 coins reported for the 1873-S is on par with those of other San Francisco Mint fives from the late 1860s and early 1870s and, like those other issues, heavy commercial use on the West Coast claimed most of the coins. This issue is scarce even in well worn condition, while in the popular collector grades of EF and AU only a few small handfuls remain. With only two Mint State examples known. The CAC census is currently 24 in all grades with six finer. The price guide suggests $3900 as fair market value, a figure that appears to be conservative when considering a mintage of just 31,000 pieces.

Choice $1365 New November 26! Near Gem Original, Crusty Gray Patina, Active Mirrors, Fully Struck, Former Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. 2025 Black Friday Sale Offering - 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 1859 proof strike. Sourced from a Heritage auction 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 struck from two different obverse dies labeled as F-101 and F-102 in the "web-book". F-101 is the more common of the two proof dies while F-102 accounts for about one in five of the proof dimes seen. This F-102 obverse presents a medium level date while F-101 exhibits a upward sloping. This F-102 dime continues to be the proof plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Die Variety Collectors online reference. Previously sold to a client who has decided to liquidate his Seated dime proof set, therefore resulting to the price list. This is an atypical proof example for fans of crusty originality.

This new obverse design (Type 1) lasted only through 1861 before being promptly replaced with a more robust design (Type 2) that was less "delicate" and subject to rapid wear. The 1860 proof obverse exhibits a group of horizontal die lines starting from the sixth stripe in the shield and moving right, under the scroll at LIBE(RTY), and ending at the fold in Liberty's gown line. This superb gem example presents an opportunity to study the delicate design features. Accurately designated as a cameo given the heavily frosted main devices that are surrounded by mirrored fields. The PCGS certification is accurate as surfaces are entirely unabraded and free off the faintest hairlines. Mirrors are sharp with faint amounts of whitish-gray toning at the date and on the upper obverse. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder.

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.

This lot is noted for its very thick wire rims and mirrored fields that exhibit a soft granular texture during 10x inspection. Under a bright light, the mirrors are sufficiently brilliant against the frosted motifs. Copper-gold toning is noted on the left obverse and fully encompassing the reverse borders. This near-gem is fairly reserved for its scarcity. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

Gem $1240 New November 26! Cameo Designation, Gem Original, Evergreen State Collection.. 2025 Black Friday Sale Offering - 1875 proof coinage includes the Indian cent, the Seated dime, quarter, and half dollar coupled with the Trade dollar. Of the 700 dimes struck, few have risen to the lofty gem cameo certification. This Evergreen State Collection specimen is fully struck with brilliant mirrors. The surfaces are mostly untoned with a trace of gold at the borders. The fields are pristine and without hairlines or lint marks. Undeniably, this lot was struck with the F-101 die pairing based on date position and an arcing die line to the top left of (O)NE. Thought the Fortin online reference reports repunching at the 1 digit, this specimen does not exhibit this anomaly. PCGS has certified 12 at this grade with 14 finer.

The F-101 die pairing struck both circulation and proof strikes with the proofs coming after circulation strikes. What is amazing with this die pairing is a reverse die crack that developed from the right ribbon end downward to the denticles below the left ribbon end. Interestingly, an attempt was made to tool out the die crack on the reverse die prior to or during the striking of proof coinage.

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.

The "small stars" result from a regular large stars obverse die being lapped due to extended usage resulting in die rust pitting, clashing, and the all important die crack in the right obverse field. This obverse die is lapped in an attempt to remove some of the damage and results in weak and "smaller" sized stars. Obverse and reverse die clashing, a weak date punched and the all important die crack at star 13 are the key diagnostics. This example is a case study for the late die state conditions and is sure to please the specialist. Under a bright light, the surface radiate frosted luster, with bluish-gold noted on the obverse while the reverse features center aquamarine surround by gold between the wreath and rim.

This 1877 Seated dime offering requires a detailed explanation towards understanding its significance. This offering is the 1877 Type 2 F-108 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Varieties Collectors online reference. Purchased June 1995 when this dime was housed in an ANACS old white holder and graded MS63. Both sides are mirrored with the second 7 digit in the date being repunched at the base. The F-108 obverse is paired with F-101 reverse, which was previously used to strike proof dimes. The key question is that of being a proof strike or a Mint State circulation strike. When included within the Seated dime reference, my belief was that of a heavily mirrored circulation strike as designed by ANACS. During a 2024 crack out and upgrade attempt (this dime is way nicer than MS63), NGC returned the piece with a proof designation. Looking at the mirrors under a bright light, one could also come to that conclusion. I'm letting this dime go in its newer NGC holder with proof designation and will make notations in the web-book F-108 page as to the alternate TPG opinion. Housed in new large font NGC holder and ready for the next Liberty Seated dime researcher to solve this mystery. A near-gem with consideration bright light eye appeal.

I like this coin at the assigned grade and plan to move it into the web-book as an upgraded plate coin. Fairly priced for the overall quality. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.

Gem $825 New November 10! Repunched 2, Superior Presentation, Gem Original, Sheffield Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - Rich frosted luster and golden aquamarine toning are the highlights of this gem 1882 F-101a dime. This piece was struck from proof dies that were re-employed for circulation strikes. Surfaces exhibit granular mint bloom that is consistent on both sides. A bright light review reveals frosted luster that is partially muted by the dense patina. Cartwheels are active, more so on the reverse. Repunching on the 2 digit is evident under the top ball and below the base. An unquestionable gem that is so close to full MS66. Housed in new CAC Grading holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.

Choice $1000 New October 30! Prooflike, Repunched Date, Near-Gem at Grade. CACG grading standards are very strick to the point that their certified coins are higher quality that those being stickered in PCGS and NGC holders. Case in point is the superb 1879 F-105 lot that has secured the coveted Prooflike certification. The mirrors are sharply reflective under a bright light and provide a nearly cameo contrast to the frosted motifs. Light rose-gold is noted on both side with a deep blue arc on the lower reverse. Light field chatter is consisten with the grade though the eye appeal is substantial for an MS62. CAC has approved five prooflike MS62 examples with a single certified by CACG (this lot) though the population does not reflect such. I will be in touch with CACG to have this corrected. Housed in new CACG holder and graded to strict standards employed for CAC stickering approval.
