	Liberty V 5C	1908	PR67	PCGS 48240574		Gem	$1245	New January 28! Superb Eye Appeal, Sharp Watery Mirrors, Gem Original. Final GFRC Inventory Sale! - This colorfully toned 1908 Liberty proof nickel was recently taken in trade and is guaranteed to please fans of beautifully toned type coins. The GFRC accurately illustrate the rose, blues, and yellow orange-gold toning on the obverse and blended orange and light greens on the reverse. The watery mirrors are quite compelling under a bright light. The strike is fully executed with pristine fields as one would expect at this lofty grade. Hurry on this offering as I doubt it will be around after the Winter FUN show. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder.
	Seated $1	1841	AU53	PCGS OGH 3262461	OC-4	Choice	$2350	New January 28! Steely Reflective Luster, Old Time Lustrous Eye Appeal, New Jersey Collection. Consignor Price Reduction! - We are pleased to be offering the New Jersey Collection's PCGS old green holder encapsulated Seated dollars for your consideration and opening with this 1841 OC-4 . Sharp steely fields are readily evident under a bright light with minimal abrasions. The luster is most reflective and pleasing with ample cartwheels. Light milky toning is noted in the right obverse field and extending to the date region. Given the coin's mirrored like surfaces, GFRC photography struggles with plastic holder reflections on the lower obverse and reverse. This dollar is many times better in hand rather than the images. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder and an important opportunity for those that enjoy originality in an early TPG holder.
	Seated 5C	1838 No Drapery, Large Stars	MS62	PCGS 27234464		Choice	$550	New January 28! Large Date, Evergreen State Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2026) holder. Full description shortly.

	Seated 10C	1844	EF45	PCGS 14888553		Choice	HOLD $1550	New January 25! Little Orphan Annie, Very Scarce EF45 or Better, Steely Golden Fields, Well Struck, Evergreen State Collection. GFRC welcomes another Little Orphan Annie 1844 dime to the price list and what a solid example it is. Yes, the Terry Brand hoard brought together hundreds of survivors, but truly premium examples remain tough in choice EF and certainly in AU. For example, the Gerry Fortin Collection specimen, a PCGS AU58 CAC certified example realized $6000 during a January 2025 auction. This lot offers steely gold fields with aquamarine overtones, with the originality being self evident to a trained eye. For those without "the eye", the CAC green bean provides ample insurance. The CAC census stands at 69 with a heavy skew to the lower circulated grades. At the EF45 grade, 7 are approved with nine finer. This lot is quite pleasing and is recommended for the selective collector.
	Seated 10C	1858	PR66	PCGS 81482044		Gem	$5650	New January 21! Scarce Proof Date, Single Finer, Brilliant Mirrors, Evergreen State Collection. A glittering, reflective proof dime with a large amount of cameo contrast. Rose-gold and blues decorate the obverse while the reverse exhibits center aquamarine surrounded by rose and gold intermixed hues. A hammered strike further establishes GFRC-Gem eye appeal. 1858 was the first year of "official" public proof sales by the Mint. Although Breen estimated just 80 proofs issued and later estimates suggested 100 or so proofs. PCGS estimates 50-70 are known, however, few if any are the equal of this gleaming example. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with special D.L. Hansen pedigree label and CAC approval. An important Evergreen State Collection release.
	Seated 10C	1859	PR66CAM	PCGS 34722611		Gem	$4750	New January 21! Final Year of the With Stars Type, Watery Cameo Mirrors, Reflective White Presentation, Evergreen State Collection. One of the truly eye appealing proof dimes in the Evergreen State Collection is this reflective white example with stark field-to-device contrast. Each side of this sharply struck, impressively preserved Superb Gem proof presents watery mirrored and a superior viewing experience. The surfaces are free of contact marks, with only microscopic hairlines noted on the obverse with a 10x and bright light. The intense brilliance of the mirrors easily amplify any imperfections as we see in today's modern sliver commemorative coinage. This offering is also an important date among type collectors as the 1859 issue is the final proof in the With Stars Seated dime series. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder and competitively priced.
	Seated 10C	1839-O	AU50	raw	F-102	Choice	$650	New January 20! Small O, Greer and Fortin Plate Coin, Long Pedigree List, Choice Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A marvelous 1839-O dime, fully original and lustrous with Fortin and Greer plate coin pedigrees for their respective references. This dime has a long pedigree including R.L.Miles Stacks auction April 1969, Alan Lovejoy Sales (Stacks) October 1990, and Stack catalog sale October 1991 where it was purchased by Fortin. Listed by Kam Ahwash as A-2. F-102 is a later die state of the F-101 obverse die when paired with a second Small O reverse die. The obverse exhibits a fairly continuous die crack originating from left and right sides of the base up through the rock and meeting at the shield. The mintmark on the F-102 reverse B is positioned further right than on F-101 Reverse A. Ships in its original cardboard 2x2 holder with Fortin notes.
	Seated 10C	1845	MS61	raw	F-103	Choice	HOLD $525	New January 20! Ahwash and Fortin Plate Coin, Repunched 45, Choice Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A special offering that ranks high on the list of my favorite With Stars dimes. Locating Kamal Ahwash plate coins from his Encyclopedia of United States - Liberty Seated Dimes was quite the challenge when working from paper catalogs. Each acquisition is special including this 1845 F-103 that illustrates the variety, specifically, repunching beneath the cross bar and base of the 4 digit and above/below the flag of the 5 digit. Returning to the Liberty Seated Dime online reference as a sharp plate coin illustration of the variety. Purchased October 1991 via a Stack catalog sale. Previously Alan Lovejoy, Stacks October 1990, and Kamal Ahwash privately April 1977. Ships in original 2x2 cardboard holder with Fortin notes.
	Seated 10C	1845	EF45	raw	F-106a	Market Acceptable	HOLD $225	New January 20! Ahwash Plate Coin, Bisecting Reverse Die Crack, Faint Reverse Porosity, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The Kam Ahwash A-5 plate coin from his pioneering into Liberty Seated dime varieties with his tome releasing my wild collecting animal instincts during 1989. I was hooked line and sinker. This dime is yet another piece to be tracked via Stacks to the October 1990 Alan Lovejoy Sale. Lovejoy acquired this dime from Ahwash privately on December 1979. This dime is not perfect and will not grade. This is no question of a past dip with some faint rim porosity at reverse rim 3:00. The fields are reflective. F-106a, with two diagonal die scratches on the left side of the shield as the primary diagnostic. During the F-106a die state, the reverse develops a bisecting vertical die crack which starts at STA(T)ES and proceeds downward through O(N)E DI(M)E, crosses through the bow knot and exits to the rim below the right ribbon end. Purchased April 1992 via Stacks Coin Galleries mail bid sale.
	Seated 10C	1850-O	EF45	raw	F-101	Original	HOLD $585	New January 20! Large O, Rusted Die, Near Choice Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The 1850 New Orleans dime issue is found with three mintmark size; large, medium, and small. Experts have argued for years as to whether the medium or small O is the scarcest mint mark size with my vote for the medium O. However, F-101 large O sales data indicates that the variety is underrated with only two records in the GFRC Sales Archive. A nicely original example with light gold patination. Purchased December 2005. Ships in its original cardboard 2x2 holder with Fortin notes.
	Seated 10C	1873 No Arrows, Closed 3	AU50	raw	TOP #59 F-103	Choice	HOLD $175	New January 20! Repunched Date, Choice Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A boldly struck 1873 No Arrows Closed 3 F-103 example with partial wire rims form early die state dies allowing an excellent view of the repunching on all date digits. Surfaces are strictly original with natural coin gray patination that includes embedded rose and aquamarine hues. Purchased November 1991 and ships in its original cardboard 2x2 holder.
	Seated 10C	1876-S Type 1 Reverse	EF40	raw	TOP #69 F-101	Original	HOLD $265	New January 19! Repunched Date, Web-Book Plate Coin, Top 100 Varieties, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. On the 1876-S Type 1 Reverse F-101 the date is repunched in a counter clockwise direction. Repunching is evident below the flag and base of the 1 digit and within and above the lower loop of the 6 digit. Th reverse is severely cracked below the wreath and ribbon ends. This repunched date variety is included in the Top 100 Varieties set and has proven to be more elusive than expected. Few examples have appeared since 2003 and none are known in Mint State. The two specimens in the Indiana and Cleveland Collection Top 100 sets are both graded EF45 as incremental information. This is the plate coin within the Liberty Seated dime die variety online reference. A green piece of dirt is noted in the right obverse field that I have not attempted to remove. Purchased February 2002 from Chris Pilliod and ships in its original cardboard 2x2.
	Seated 10C	1877-CC Type 2 Reverse	AU58	raw	F-101	Choice	HOLD $325	New January 19! Misplaced C On Bow, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The 1877-CC Type 2 F-101 obverse 1 has a heavy die crack from the rim above (U)NITED, then through(UN)ITED and the bottom of letters UN(ITED STATES). On the F-101 reverse, the misplaced top of a C mintmark punch is visible on the bow knot directly above the second normal C mintmark. This is the first and only reverse Seated dime die where a misplaced mintmark has been recorded. The reverse also has a die crack that starts at the left part of the left "C", then up through the left ribbon up through left leaves, wheat grains, down through the right leaves and through the bow knot to the left ribbon, making a complete circle. This die variety was listed by Kamal Ahwash as A-4. A choice fully strike piece with even coin gray toning. Purchased August 2004 and incorporated into the Liberty Seated dime die variety online reference as a variety plate coin. Ships in its original cardboard 2x2 with Fortin notes.
	Seated 10C	1877-CC Type 2 Reverse	AU58	raw	F-105	Original	HOLD $275	New January 19! Rusted and Shattered Die, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The 1877-CC Type 2 F-105 obverse is a highly polished rusted die that has been placed back into usage by the Carson City mint. It is approaching its end of life and has shattered. The reverse die is clashed and shows considerable die erosion between the wreath devices and the rim. This lot was purchased December 2000 as part of the Fortin die variety research project and was employed as an obverse die crack mapping plate coin within the Liberty Seated dime online reference. Surfaces are creamy white with a touch of peripheral gold. This lot ships in its original cardboard 2x2 with original Fortin notes.
	Seated 10C	1877-S	EF45	raw	F-106	Choice	HOLD $80	New January 19! Small Block S, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The crusty original 1877-S F-106 dime was purchased April 1992 and became the die variety reference piece until being later upgraded. This piece has been hanging out in the bank box and needs a new home. This dime ships in its original cardboard 2x2 with Fortin notes.
	Seated 10C	1886	AU55	raw	F-109	Original	HOLD $150	New January 19! Repunched 6, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The 1886 F-109 obverse is characterized by repunching within the inner left loops of the 6 digit. Traces of repunching can also be seen under the ball of the 6 digit. There are two diagonal die scratches within the shield. These scratches start below the LIBER(T)Y and move in a northeast direction into shield lines 11 and 12. Ample steely frosted luster remains on this lightly worn offering. Utilized as the F-109 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. Purchased September 1996 from Chris Pilliod and ships in its original cardboard 2x2 with Fortin notes.
	Seated 10C	1887-S	AU53	raw	F-107	Choice	HOLD $725	New January 19! Shattered Reverse, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A spectacular 1887-S shattered reverse is found during the F-107 late die state. Massive die cracks form a concentric inner ring that covers about 60% of the wreath. There are three exit points to the rim with the 6:00 and 9:00 exits being substantial. Interestingly, this reverse is well struck in spite of the massive die cracks. The Medium S mintmark shows repunching in the upper loop and could be yet another S over S variety. This variety will be found with progressive reverse die cracking to some extent but this specimen is consistent with the latest die states seen. The F-107 obverse is also in a later die state with significant die erosion (or a die bulge) to the immediate left of Liberty's left arm. Jason Carter first published this variety in the Gobrecht Journal with subsequent listing as part of the Top 100 Varieties set during 2003. This example is fully choice and has been utilized as the plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference since its publication during 2004. Price consistent records in the Sales Archive. A pretty example that will easily certify. Purchased July 1993 and ships in its original 2x2 cardboard holder with Fortin notes.
	Seated 10C	1888	AU58	raw	F-105	Choice	HOLD $175	New January 19! Last 8 Repunched Up, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. On the 1888 F-105 obverse, repunching is clearly visible under the final 8 in the date. Both the obverse and reverse are heavily clashed. The legend is inconsistently hubbed on this variety as (OF AMER)ICA is weak while the remainder of the letters in the legend appear normal. The piece enjoys the Brian Greer plate coin pedigree since the repunched date macro image was published in his DLRC Press guidebook. Faint wear is noted along with lovely frosted luster. Purchaased December 1991 during the early days of Seated dime die variety research and ships in its original cardboard 2x2 holder.
	Seated 10C	1891-O	VF25	raw	F-133	Choice	HOLD $350	New January 19! Massive Reverse Die Cud, Discovery Piece, Future Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. Residing in the Fortin bank box is this 1891-O dime with massive reverse cuds that are not documented in the Liberty Seated dime die variety online reference. The obverse die cracks through STATES into Liberty's head suggest the obverse die is the F-107 pairing with the O/Horizontal O reverse. On this example the mintmark is partial and plate very high in between the ribbon ends, a position that is unseen to date. Now this example appears with massive retained cuds on the lower left wreath. Surfaces are 100% original and covered with a thick crusty patination. I owe it to the Liberty Seated dime community to get this piece posted in the web-book as F-133. Ideal for the terminal die state collector.
	Barber 10C	1901-O O/Horiz O	EF40	PCGS 30878761	FS-501	Choice	$330	New January 18! O/Horizontal O, Natural Coin Gray Patina, A Cool Die Variety. GFRC Cost Basis! - The 1891-O F-109 O Over Horizontal dime die variety is not a unique mintmark punching error as the same situation is found in the Barber dime series. This newly acquired 1901-O O Over Horizontal O example shares the same diagnostics as its predecessor. The remnants of a horizontal O are seen within the top and bottom oval of the final mintmark punch. This is a Cherrypickers documented die variety with PCGS certifying a total of 32 examples in grades ranging from Good 4 through MS66. Natural coin gray patina is thick on the obverse while the reverse is more lightly toned with some residual luster under a bright light. Surfaces are unabraded and pleasing. This cool die variety is showcased by a strictly original and choice example. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	Barber 25C	1893	MS65	PCGS 29281964		Gem	$1075	New January 18! Steely-Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Impressive Eye Appeal. GFRC Cost Basis!- Obverse rose patina is nicely framed by peripheral blues on this gem 1893 Barber quarter. This is yet another piece of eye candy purchased as part of a larger 50+ piece lot. This reverse is at least one grade point higher than certified as the rose, aquamarine, and gold ring toning is simply delightful and thoroughly pleasing. Steely-frosted luster is eye popping under a bright light along with dancing cartwheels. Strike is 99% complete with only the lowest arrow feathers not fully formed. Accurately priced for the overall eye appeal. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	Capped Bust 10C	1814 STATESOFAMERICA	VF25	CACG 145136361	JR-5 R3	Choice	HOLD $1495	New January 18! Popular STATESOFAMERICA Variety, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Beautifully Preserved. GFRC Cost Basis! - The 1814 Capped Bust dime date features three major varieties including the Large Date, Small Date, and STATESOFAMERICA as one word. CAC has only stickered 22 in all grades with this new offering as the lone piece housed in new CAC Grading holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards. GFRC images accurately illustrate the darker olive-gray fields that nicely contrast with the much lighter devices. A careful 10x review revealed no abrasions or marks as the surfaces are surprisingly pristine given the time in circulation. Under a bright light, the fields present a steely appearance. This Summer Baltimore new purchase looks much better in-hand than on the images.
	Capped Bust 5C	1830	MS62	NGC 6323634004	LM-7	Choice	$595	New January 18! Frosted Luster, Light Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces, Crazy Joe Collection. GFRC Cost Basis!- Another conservatively graded 1830 Capped Bust half dime that is certain to please the new owner. The granular frosted luster is big and bold during initial bright light review along with decent cartwheel action. The field on both sides are essentially unabraded with a single tiny contact point on the upper cheek that is visible on the image. The originality is validated by the darker copper-gold on the reverse periphery with some extension to the obverse. A consignor buyout that has not been submitted to CAC since graded. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	Gold G$2.5	1912 Indian	MS63	PCGS 51126515		Choice	HOLD $1650	New January 18! Glimmering Satiny Luster, Rich Honey-Gold, Premium Quality, Worthy CAC Submission. GFRC Cost Basis! - The freshly graded 1912 Indian $2.5 example was just taken in trade and warrants a CAC submission if not sold in the near term. The coloration is a rich honey-gold with luster that is quite satiny under a bright light. A piece that has a dual personality as swirling incrementally exposes steely reflectance too. The fields are unabraded and visually satisfying under a 10x. Ideal as a Mint State type coin and a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder.
	Gold G$5	1891 Liberty	MS64	PCGS 41436481		Choice	$3100	New January 18! Rare Uncirculated, Superb Rose-Gold Coloring, Completed Strike, Near-Gem. GFRC Cost Basis! - 1891 Philadelphia $5 gold strikes were limited to 61,360 pieces in an era of massive silver coinage output. Most survivors are found with abrasions and/or light wear. At the MS64 level, this grade becomes rare and even more so with CAC approval. PCGS has not certified a single gem specimen, therefore MS64 and MS64+ graded examples are as good as it gets. GFRC is pleased to be offering one of the MS64 certified survivors that also has CAC approval. An infrequently seen rose-gold coloring is consistent on both sides. Bright light inspection is a joy given the brilliant frosted luster that explodes off the surfaces. Strike is 100% complete and rounds out the checklist for a designating this offering a near-gem. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2021) holder. Previously sold by GFRC during June 2021 for $4350.
	Gold G$5	1909 Indian	MS64	PCGS 46569876		Gem	HOLD $3500	New January 18! Better Philadephia Date, Rich Honey-Gold, Sparkling Frosted Luster. GFRC Cost Basis! - 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. A touch of chatter in the upper right reverse field holds this one back from a certified gem opinion. This is a really pretty piece that is certain to please. CAC price guide is $4120 which is consistent with the offer price. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder.
	Gold G$5	1912 Indian	MS63	NGC 6453767003		Choice	$2250	New January 18! Great Type Candidate, Steely-Frosted Luster, Honey-Gold, Well Preserved Surfaces. GFRC Cost Basis! - 1912 dated Indian $5 gold is known for its sharp luster and strong strikes. Yet another Summer Baltimore addition, this honey-gold colored example fits the bill. The obverse is pristine while there is one mark at the upper left reverse that is evident in the images. A premium example that is offered at a completive price to the CAC price guide. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	Indian 1C	1879	PR65BN	PCGS 25272638		Gem	HOLD $510	New January 18! Gem Proof, Pristine Mirrors, Multi-Color Toning. GFRC Cost Basis! - Indian cent proof mintages were high as compared to the Seated series. 1879 brought 3,200 Indian cent proof strikes. The subjective natural of the BN, RB, and RD designations add collecting intrigue. This gem 1879 proof has the BN certification due to the chocolate brown coloration during in hand inspection. As with most heavily toned proofs, bright light viewing is where the fun is as this piece shifts to violet-rose on the obverse while the reverse features peripheral blues. Strike is crisply executed while the fields are entirely unabraded. GFRC images accurately capture the in hand presentation. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	Morgan $1	1878-S	MS64	PCGS 37833000		Choice	$375	New January 18! Dual Sided Toning, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Perfectly Original. GFRC Cost Basis! - Since starting the GFRC business, there has always been an affinity for toner Morgans. Over time, I've been hand selecting CAC approved toners with coloration that is consistent with originality expectations. Let's face it, there are ample amounts of retoned Morgans out in the market with what I consider to be unnatural colors. This 1878-S example offers the classic obverse aquamarine, copper-gold, and blues on the obverse and delineated green and copper-gold on the reverse that could have paper origins. Accurately graded with brilliant frosted luster and swirling cartwheels. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Morgan $1	1880-S	MS66	CACG 253897991		Gem	HOLD $375	New January 18! Superb Gem, Partially Mirrored, Spinning Cartwheels, Super Eye Appeal, Gerry Fortin Collection. Final GFRC Sale! - This superb gem 1880-S Morgan is just back from CACG grading after residing in my bank box since 1989. The fields are mirrored, as many are found of this date. Brilliant reflectance is must pleasing while the cartwheels are a spinning thrill under a bright light. The cheek is pristine consistent with the certified grade. The peripheral toning augments the overall eye appeal. Housed in new CAC Grading (2023) holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.
	Morgan $1	1881-S	MS66	PCGS 48472667		Gem	$300	New January 18! Steely-Frosted Radiance, Gem Surfaces, Light Peripheral Rose-Gold. GFRC Cost Basis! - Flashy steely-frosted radiance is promptly noted when enjoying this 1881-S Morgan under a bright light. The viewing experience is undisturbed as the fields have claims to being partially mirrored. Spinning cartwheels further enhance the overall presentation. Light rose-gold toning is amplified on the GFRC images as this piece's coloration is much lighter in-hand. . Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder.
	Morgan $1	1886-S	AU55	PCGS 46903364		Choice	$345	New January 18! Low Mintage San Francisco Date, Golden-Gray Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, CAC Approval. GFRC Cost Basis! - Faint golden-gray obverse patina is transparent to the underlying steely luster on this lightly circulated 1886-S Morgan. The reserve patina is deeper with the same obverse hues. This color consistency validates the originality. The low 750,000 piece mintage has made this a popular date since the B. Max Mehl auction sales of the early 20th century. This date remains scarce as few were found in the 1982-1964 Treasury bag release. A notable example with much character that is sure to please the new owner and a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	Morgan $1	1898-S	AU58	PCGS 47531318		Choice	$435	New January 18! Attractive Slider, Steely Radiance, Vibrant Cartwheels, Light Gold Patina. GFRC Cost Basis! - Another better San Francisco strike that has been carefully handled with limited rub on the cheek. Under the desk lamp, steely radiance is noted along with swirling cartwheels. The cheek is unblemished and pleasing. A well balance Morgan that is worthy of a CAC only collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	Morgan $1	1900-S	MS62	PCGS 47531320		Choice	$650	New January 18! Steely Fields, Swirling Cartwheels, Treasury Release?. GFRC Cost Basis! - Steely fields offer brilliant radiance on this 1900 San Francisco struck Morgan that was probably part of the ongoing Treasury releases that culminated in multiple bags arriving to the market during the early 1960s. This is unquestionably choice with steely radiance and swirling cartwheels. Obverse chatter, consistent with bag storage, is accurately captured by the assigned grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated 10C	1838 No Drapery, Large Stars	MS62	CACG 618292545	F-113	Choice	$895	New January 18! Reverse Die Flaw, Near-Gem at Grade, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. Final GFRC Sale! - The new CAC Grading holders are constructed of a plastic that appears to be more translucent that the competitors. The 1838 F-113 Seated dime is intricately detailed in the GFRC photographs. I suspect the clear plastic allows us to view this beautifully toned dime at its finest. This dime features a bold reverse die flaw and is the plate coin with The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference.

	Seated 10C	1853-O	AU55	raw	F-105	Market Acceptable	$475	New January 18! Lapped Dies, Frosted Luster, Peripheral Gold, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. Final GFRC Sale! - Another reference collection release, this 1853-O F-105 can be identified by a weakly hubbed thin date with very open 5 digit along. The weakness of the reverse legend suggests die polishing, through the Large O mintmark and wreath are strongly detailed with an obvious die clash behind DI(ME). A horizontal die crack appears at the rim above ST(A)TES and connects STAT(ES) before exiting to the rim above O(F). A small rim cud forms at the die crack exit point. The F-105 variety with its cracked reverse is scarce and will take diligent searching to locate. This example was purchased March 2002 and published within the Liberty Seated Dime web-book and yet another plate coin. The Market Acceptable rating results from horizontal obverse hairlines meaning this piece will not straight grade. Priced accordingly.

The offered example was purchased directly from Brian Greer during December 1992 and has remained in raw condition in my collection until recent grading.

GFRC Cost Basis! - During 1859, the still relatively new San Francisco mint struck only 80,000 Seated quarters. That mintage entered western frontier commerce and remained there for years. Indeed, not even a single Mint State example is known, as no one systematically collected this coinage at the time of issue. Present day collectors struggle to locate the date due to low survival rates. GFRC is pleased to offer this newly purchased example with light gray shades including darker gray at the peripheries. PCGS was tough on this example as there is a substantial amount of device details for the certified grade. A solid example that will fill that long standing hole in a date and mintmark set without breaking the bank. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

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.

Final Consignor Price Reduction! - 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.

A handful of F-112 examples have been located after years of searching by Liberty Seated dime die variety specialists.

Rim Cuds at 10:00 and 4:00, Very Rare Die State, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. 1842 F-103b is the R7 die state whereby two obverse cuds at found at 11:00 and 4:00. The single 1842 cud obverse die state (F-103a) is listed in the Top 100 Variety set and available with some searching.

I subsequently located an example at the ANR November 30, 2004 Frog Run Sale and was added to the Seated dime die variety online reference after its August 2004 release. This plate coin is one of the few F-103b examples known as I have only seen two examples of the doubled cud obverse die state outside of the plate coin, both are listed in the GFRC Sales Archive with the finest graded PCGS MS64+ CAC. A near choice example with some left obverse rim chatter precluding a full Choice quality rating. When pursuing an R7 die state, one can't be too stringent on perfection.

	Seated 10C	1850	VF30	raw	F-111	Original	HOLD $100	New January 4! Weak Stars 1 Through 6, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The F-111 obverse, while exhibiting severe weakness, is paired with a heavily cracked reverse die. The origins of this heavily cracked reverse went undefined for decades until an interim die state reverse specimen appeared within GFRC inventory in late 2016. The interim die state of Reverse F, listed as F.2 (F-108a), was discovered on an NGC MS63 example with matching die cracks to those of the above late die state example but much fainter. During the interim die state The F-108a reverse is paired with Obverse 6. The F-111 pairing of Obverse 8 and Reverse F.3 was described in a 1984 issue of the Gobrecht Journal by John McCloskey from a Seated dime made available by Bill Carpenter.

	Seated 10C	1854-O	VF25	raw	F-107	Choice	HOLD $120	New January 4! Die Cracks Above Liberty's Foot, Large O, Slight Oblique Punch, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The die cracks on the F-107 and F-107 obverses, between Liberty's foot and Star 13, are similar. Careful study of the position of the diagonal die crack with respect to Liberty's foot is recommended. The additional diagnostic to differentiate the F-107 and F-107 obverses is the strength of the date punch. The F-107 obverse features a strong date with the 54 digits being closed and the left foot of the 1 digit being complete. The F-106 obverse, on the other hand, has a weak date hubbing. The F-107 reverse exhibits a Large O mintmark that appears to be slightly oblique. The upper section of the Large O mintmark is stronger in appearance than the bottom section. This lot is the plate coin at the Liberty Seated Dime die variety reference and was purchased August 1992, the early period of Fortin's die variety research. It ships in its original 2x2 cardboard holder from that era.

This 1869 F-101 date placement is the rarest of the five known Short Flag 1 varieties. After 25 years of searching out examples of 1869 Short Flag 1 dimes, I have located two examples that graded F12 and the plate coin purchased from an eBay seller in Argentina. This rare date placement variety can be identified by a nearly level date that is positioned high and far right. A check of the GFRC Sales Archive reveals on three raw example sold during the 2015-2017 timeframe, all being lower circulated grades.

The 1871 Philadelphia Seated dime mintage amounted to 907,710 strikes from 14 unique die pairings. This translate into roughly 65,000 coins per die pairing, a number consistent with the 1870 issue. The F-114 die pairing can be identified by a weak date punch with the distance between the 1 and 8 digits being larger than other obverse date varieties. This example is the F-114 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seate Dime Variety Collectors online reference and presents steely reflectance under a bright light. Speckled gold toning is noted on both sides. There is not sign of rub though faint chatter is noted in the obverse fields. Purchase January 2007 and the final die pair listing for the 1871 date.
	Seated 10C	1871	AU50	raw	F-108	Choice	HOLD $125	New January 2! High Date, With Weak Base, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A choice example of the 1871 F-108 die pairing and plate coin within the Liberty Seated dime die variety online reference. An interesting die pairing as the obverse working die hubbing was poorly accomplished as the motifs are quite weak and flow into the surrounding fields. The weak base above the heavily punched date digits is quite notable. Surfaces are toned a natural coin gray with subtle rose highlights. Residual luster is seen under a bright light. Grading is accurate as there is little wear on the breasts and lower leg. Purchased from Jim O'Donnell at the November 1993 Whitman Baltimore show. This lot ships in its original 2x2 holder of that timeframe.

	Seated 10C	1842-O	VF30	raw	TOP #22 F-102a	Original	$265	New December 31! Medium O, Shattered Reverse #2, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A crusty original 1842-O F-102a example that was purchased during November 2002 during the Liberty Seated dime die variety research period. Greer had listed this reverse, with its massive die cracks, as Shattered Reverse #2 in his DLRC Press guidebook. Fortin took the liberty of adding this variety to his Top 100 Varieties listing as #22. Even wear is noted on both sides with the reverse devices being notably weak as hubbed. There is an ancient and fully toned over line on the left side of the upper shield extending into the center motif while the reverse is problem free. I've assigned an GFRC-Original quality rating due to the obverse line. This dime ships in its original cardboard 2x2 dating to 2002.
	Seated 10C	1842-O	VF30	raw	TOP #22 F-102b	Original	$365	New December 31! Medium O, Shattered Reverse #2, Terminal Die State, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The F-102b reverse die state is most likely the terminal die state based on years of personal and community research. There is a massive die crack from rim above ST(A)TES and across through STA(TES O)F. Note that (O)F is partial obscured by the broken die. The die crack through tops of UNIT(ED) is well pronounced. This example was purchased directly from Greer during May 1995 and ships in its original cardboard 2x2. Both sides are toned a light gray with hints of rose on the obverse. The shattered reverse die cracks are readily evident on this lot. Within the Liberty Seated dime online reference, my F-102b image is that of a piece from Dr. Tim Cook where the die crack across (O)F is complete while on this example, the internal die cud has yet to form. Few examples of this late die state are known.
	Seated 10C	1845	EF45	raw	F-102	Choice	$185	New December 31! Reverse of 1844 (B), Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. Offered here is the 1845 F-102 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference with updated photography. The F-102 obverse die has die chips around Stars 3, 4, 5 and 6 and is paired with a late die state example of 1844 Reverse B when used again in 1845. The key diagnostic for identifying the left over 1844 reverse die is a die crack from the rim down through S(T)ATES into the wreath. This conservatively graded example is fully choice with golden-rose toning that is a bit more enhanced at the borders. This lot ships in its original cardboard 2x2 and dates back to a January 1997 purchase.
	Seated 10C	1852	F12	raw	F-105b R6	Choice	HOLD $300	New December 31! Repunched 52, Rare F-105b Die State, Choice Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The 1852 F-105 die pairing is well known for its repunched 52 date digits. The reverse progressively degrades with a retained cud joining the tops of UNITE(D S)TATES. Notice the disappearance of the denticles within the retained cud on this F-105b die state example. During the earlier partial cud Variety 105a die state, the denticles are still visible and complete. The later Variety 105b die state, with the retained cud, is very challenging to locate in higher circulated grades or Mint State. This lot was located by Fortin during September 1999 and is now being offered after decades of storage in a bank box. This piece is fully choice with a thick crusty skin along with being conservatively graded. Ideal for collectors who enjoy Liberty Seated dime with terminal die state cuds and ships in its original 2x2 with Fortin notes.
