Locating 1839 New Orleans dimes in strictly original mint state condition takes considerable patience and searching. This Florida Collection duplicate has a lot to offer including frosty luster across the main devices and the fields. Strike is hammered with every device detail being deeply impressed. A large die crack encircles the reverse wreath and is immediately recognized as the Cobweb Shattered Reverse but in an interim die state. Fields have a few tiny ticks but nothing that is considered distracting, especially at the assigned MS61 grade.

 Choice $1650 New August 19! Ex. Frog Run Collection, Left Over Reverse of 1844, Choice Original, Bold Strike, Thick Frosty Luster, Accurately Graded, Florida Collection. Bold frosty luster and a hammered strike are the hallmarks for this 1845 Philadelphia struck dime that originally arrived to market via the Frog Run Sale circa 2004 in Baltimore. At that sale, it realized nearly $1300 and a strong price for that time period. Head details and hair curls are completely defined as are the high relief stars. Reverse strike is also complete with every vein in the wreath leaves fully defined. The F-102 die pairing matches Obverse 1 with the leftover reverse of 1844. Die cracks are readily evident throught S(T)ATES O(F) with the die crack through the T descending down the left wreath. Grade rarity also needs to be touched upon. PCGS has graded 24 at the MS63 level with auction records in the $900 to $1600 range. In recent years, few MS64 examples have reach the market with the Florida Collection specimen not purchased via auction but through private treaty. At the MS65 level, this date is easily a $4000 coin as few have ever traded. Housed in PCGS old green holder. An important offering from the Florida Collection for those building a superior set of Liberty Seated dimes.

 Original $3750 New August 19! Very Scarce Grade, Original Silver Gray, Bold Strike, Florida Collection. 1845 New Orleans strikes are available in lower circulated graded up to Very Fine. But at the AU or better level, this date becomes rare and remains underrated. PCGS population report shows a total of 8 examples followed by only two in mint state; the Eliasberg MS69 and an additional MS62. That is the extent of the surviving population in highest grades available. This Florida Collection offering is one of the eight pieces in the AU grade range. One immediately notes the frosty surfaces during in hand viewing. Strike is hammered with all obverse and reverse device details completely defined. Obverse die rust is easily seen throughout Liberty's gown folds due to strike quality and minimal wear. Toning is limited to an aquamarine-gold ring surrounding the stars. Blemish wise, there is a faint hairline patch is the upper right obverse field that is visible on the GFRC images. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. An important date and grade offering from the Florida Collection.

27661426 		F-101
 Choice $475 New August 19! Undergraded, Choice Original, Crusty Gray Surfaces, Scarce Date, Florida Collection. 1851 New Orleans strikes continue to be undervalued in today's market. Survival rates are low in EF or better with the number available choice being even smaller. Looking at PCGS population report, one finds 14 in all EF grades, 15 in all AU grades and only 4 in all mint state grades. Many of the AU graded examples seen have odd or funky textured coloring. This VF35 graded example is first of all, undergraded. Weak strikes are an issue for the date also and complicate grading. I would grade this 1851-O dime EF40. Surfaces are choice with crusty original gray patina with additional olive and gold hues. Several wispy lines are seen in the obverse field under the toning but are mentioned for 100% accuracy. Housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder. A challenging New Orleans in choice condition from the Florida Collection.

15742781 		F-101
 Original $1150 New August 19! Attractive Deep Blue-Rose Patina, Mirrored Fields, Faint Reverse Pitting, Conservatively Graded, Florida Collection. 1856 through 1858 proof dimes were struck in tiny quantities for East Coast collectors of that timeframe. The 1858 date has a suggested mintage of 100 with an estimate of 50-70 known. PCGS was rather conservative on this example with a PF61 grade. Strike is hammered and eye appeal is high due to decent mirrors and attractive deep blue-rose toning. Obverse surfaces are perfectly original and do not warrant the assigned grade. However, the reverse has some faint surface pits seen with a 10x loupe. If I balance the eye appeal with reverse technical issue, a PF62 grade would be warranted as this is a decent early date proof example that will not break the bank. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. A nice early date proof offering from the Florida Collection.

 Choice $950 New August 19! Type 1 Obverse, Weak Date, Finest Example Seen, Choice Original, Frosty White Luster, Florida Collection. Every once in a while, I get a nice surprise when viewing fresh Liberty Seated dime lots. Case in point is this frosty 1861 Type 1 obverse dime residing in old green label holder. Definitely a great dime at the MS64 level and accurately graded. Looking at the weak date punch immediatey revealed an F-103 variety attribution and the finest example I've seen. Previously, the best example seen was the web-book plate coin which grades AU50. This variety also has a weakly hubbed reverse denomination. Images have been captured and will be added to the web-book shortly to illustrate this mint state example. An important offering from the Florida Collection for advanced die variety collections.

25250199 		F-102a
 Gem $2875 New August 19! Gem Original, Frosty Devices, Light Rose Toned Mirrors, Eye Appeal, Accurately Graded, Florida Collection. Every Liberty Seated dime collector recognizes how difficult the 1863 through 1867 Philadelphia strikes are to locate. Mint state examples will occasionally arrive to the market but most are safely "put away" in strong collector hands. Mintage for the 1864 date is 11,000. This lovely example, from the Florida Collection, has been assigned a Gem quality rating due to substantial eye appeal and no distracting blemishes. The MS63 grade is technically correct as there are several faint hairlines in the left obverse field visible when inspecting under bright light with a 10x loupe. Having said that, the overall appearance and eye appeal is that of a higher grade. Devices are frosty original while the fields are lightly mirrored. This is a no question business strike as many will be seen with proof like fields. Rose-gold toning is seen throughout the obverse and reverse. A quality example that is housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. Worthy of an advanced mint state collection!

27451447 		F-103
 Original $1750 New August 19! Original, Gun Metal Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Florida Collection. 1865 San Francisco dimes saw heavy circulation in the western United States and many were problematic with weak obverse strikes. Locating a strictly original example with partially raised head is a major challenge as so many in TPG holders have been net graded for surface issues. This F-103 example is no question original with thick gun metal gray patina throughout obverse and reverse. Strike is typical to slightly better for the F-103 die pairing. Reverse die is heavily eroded with most denticles worn away. In hand appearance would like to a Choice quality rating as the eye appeal is quite high. I've assigned an Original rating due to a toned over line in the mid left field between left facing forearm and UNITE(D). Reverse is fully blemish free and essentially a gem for the grade level. Housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder. Another rare and quality duplicate from the Florida Collection for an advanced Liberty Seated dime collection.

Choice $925 New August 19! Crusty Choice Original, Old Paper Envelope Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Tenafly Collection. If strict originality is your cup of tea, then this 1840 Liberty Seated half dollar is worth considering. Surfaces are choice with thick crusty old envelope toning that is similar to that found on Newman Seated halves. Toning is semi transparent and allows a reasonable amount of the mirrored luster to poke through when viewed under a light source. Strike is nearly complete with just a touch of weakness at star 5 and on the lower leg eagle leg. In terms of blemishes, two faint and fully toned over lines in the obverse right field holds me back from a Gem quality rating. This piece is so close to being a gem. Housed in early NGC fatty holder. Another top quality offering from the Tenafly Collection.

The stark contrast between the dark gray fields and lighter primary devices is so evident from the GFRC images and during in hand viewing. When adding a light source, the darker patina simply melts away leaving rose and sky blue coloring on reflective surfaces. The color transition is quite pleasing.

Bright light viewing is a joy as the luster kicks in and shifts coloring to rose centers, faint blues and light gold at the rims. Obverse strike is a tad uneven with some weak stars while Liberty's head and curls are crisp. There are no blemishes whatsoever. An extra loop of an 8 digit is seen protruding above the denticle directly below the final 8 digit punch. There also appears to be an extra ball of a 9 digit directly above the denticles. Noted Liberty Seated half dollar specialist, Bill Bugert, has examined this piece and confirm it to be listed as WB-10 in his forthcoming Federal Register on Philadelphia die varieties. Housed in new NGC holder with CAC approval. Another quality offering from the Tenafly Collection.

A choice original New Orleans struck Seated half dollar that is also a better date in the series. Main devices and fields are covered with golden gray patina when viewed in hand. Adding a light source increases golden hues throughout obverse and reverse. Strike is better than average but some weakness at stars surrounding Liberty's head was seen. Blemishes are limited to a fully toned over micro linr from Star 1 to rock that takes careful study to locate. The die pairing appears to match Bill Bugert's WB-13 listing due to the obverse die gouge in the gown folds by left hand. Other obverse die cracks are not present. Accurately graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval. You really can't go wrong on this offering as all quality parameters intersect including originality, eye appeal and accurate grading. From the Tenafly Collection of fine numismatic properties.

 Gem $550 New August 19! Gem Original, Rusted Obverse Die, Undergraded, Incredible Eye Appeal, Tenafly Collection.. Let's start this description by making a bold recommendation, JUST BUY IT NOW! This incredible WB-19 R4 example belongs in the most selective Seated half collection. PCGS was too strict grading this piece as I believe it is a full AU55. The AU53 results from weak obverse devices due to being struck by a rusted and eroded die. The die erosion is most evident along the raised scroll edges. There is little wear but rather a weak strike. Eye appeal is superior with glowing surfaces covered by gun metal blue gray patina. Under a bright light, the obverse shifts to a ring of light gold surrounding the stars and a sky blue center. The reverse coloring is also similar but not as pronounced as the obverse. Reverse strike is well executed and there are no blemishes to discuss. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. A substantial quality offering from the Tenafly Collection that deserves special consideration regardless of the asking price.

 Choice $550 New August 17! California Fractional Gold, Choice Original, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. Stocking California fractional gold is always a fun event due to their gold rush significance and private issue. The booming gold rush years left local merchants with a lack of small denomination coinage. The San Francisco mint did not ramp $1 coin production until 1854 and only with a meager 14,600 mintage to support local commerce. As a result, local jewelry shop owners began striking and issuing private gold in small denominations. Most were struck with anvil and hammer leading to uneven strikes. This 1855/4 example, from the Osprey Collection, is listed as BG-106 and graded MS64. Severe die rust pits on the cheek are readily apparent and validate the die variety. Strike is nice executed on the obverse while the denominations has several weak letters. Viewing this lovely example reveals substantial frosty cartwheel luster. Accurately graded and fair priced.

Choice $950 New August 17! Choice Original, Gorgeous Deep Orange-Gold Patina, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. Classic deep orange-gold patina is the highlight of this lovely 1908 Denver $5 half eagle. Under bright light, the orange-gold patina takes on a fiery glow and is so attractive. So why is this $5 Indian only graded PCGS MS62? Using a 10x loupe, the only blemishes to be found were some very faint wispy hairlines in front of the Indian's face and that is stretching to locate an explanation. Otherwise, a Gem Original quality rating might have been assigned due to the superior eye appeal. This is one heck of a $5 offering for the MS62 assigned grade. Housed in old blue label PCGS with standard ring insert. There are always top quality surprises from the Osprey Collection.

 Market Acceptable $1650 New August 15! Shattered Obverse, Top 100 Varieties Semi-Key Date, Golden Retoned Surfaces, So Close to Original, Accurately Graded, Cleveland Collection. An important Top 100 Varieties offering to consider. Some history is in order. This is the second time that GFRC has handled this 1854-O Shattered Obverse dime that resides in a PCGS EF Details - Cleaning holder. Surfaces are slightly dull in appearance as would be expected for a silver piece graded EF. The entire dime is covered with a uniform golden patina that becoming darker at the rims. Again normal for an original silver coin. The issue is the golden toning that results when a dipped coin sits in a paper 2x2 envelope for many years. Some silver coins will acquire golden coloring rather than grays. This is the case here as the offered F-102 dime has no signs of any mechanical cleaning. Eye appeal is strong for the variety with bold shelf metal through the date. There are no blemishes whatsoever to mention. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder with PCGS Genuine Cleaning XF Cleaning label. From the Cleveland Collection with in hand inspection being recommended being drawing any negative conclusions.

For collectors attempting to complete a Liberty Seated dime date and mintmark set, this choice 1871-CC offering might be interesting. I'll go on record and indicate that I really like this example and would have enjoyed within my own early collection if available at the time. Surfaces are unabraided with uniform natural gray patina throughout obverse and reverse. The color uniformity throughout the entire coin is attractive as is the even wear. This 1871-CC dime was carefully selected by the Cleveland Collection owner and I can attest to his diligence when purchasing four figure coins. Housed in a Dominion Grading Service holder, a Dave Lawrence grading service that is no longer in existence. Just treat this offering as a raw coin with considering as no question original and choice at the VG10 grade level. No traces of porosity either.

 Choice $1350 New August 15! Double Die Reverse, Choice Original, Old Album Toning, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Cleveland Collection. The 1872 Double Die Reverse die variety is an important addition to any Top 100 Set. Nearly all example seen will have a weak obverse strike, especially at Liberty's head and gown line; this is the way the F-105 die variety is found. Many examples have been cherrypicked since the 175 degree rotated hubbing error was discovered back in 1999 and published in the Gobrecht Journal during 2003. I've seen a decent number of the cherrypicked examples with this Cleveland Collection offering being one of the nicest. Lovely blues surround rose colored centers on both the obverse and reverse. The coloring is stronger on the obverse and most attractive. Surfaces are blemish free and the grading is accurate for the variety. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder and deserving a place in an advanced Top 100 Varieties set.

Clearly a better date in the Liberty Seated quarter series with small mintage of 88,000. Most survivial examples are found with weak strikes and surface issues. Along comes this choice example from the West Texas Collection in raw condition since the individual is an old time collector and not active with the grading services. This 1851 New Orleans is fully choice with natural medium gray patina and no blemishes whatsoever. Strike is rather strong for the issue with the right facing wing having some weakness but the claws and arrow feather nicely defined. I've assigned a fair grade of VF20 and priced accordingly. If looking for a strong example of the 1851-O date for a Dansco and Whitman album, then this is your coin. If planning to send to TPG for grading, then this will not be an issue as a Choice quality rating is assigned. A quality offering from the West Texas Collection.

 Original $500 New August 15! Crumbled Die Obverse, Original Medium Gray Toning, Very Scarce Top 25 Seated Quarter Variety, Cleveland Collection . The Crumbled Die obverse is many time more elusive that its Huge O counterpart but priced at a lower level. This example is one of the few encountered since operating GFRC. Die erosion around the date digits is severe with a broken right arrow typical of a very late die state. Surfaces are covered with gun metal gray patina and two blemishes to note for 100% disclosure. There is one chatter mark in the left obverse field by star 3 and some impact on the lower left facing forearm along with an ancient rim bruise by star 6. A raw specimen that is fairly graded at the VF30 level. An important Top 25 Seated Quarter variety duplicate from the Cleveland Collection. Considering the asking price, there is much rarity value here as this die variety becomes more well known and popular.

Market Acceptable $475 New August 15! Better Date, Even Medium Gray Toning, Tiny Rim Filing, West Texas Collection. A key date in the Liberty Seated quarter series with mintage of 121,000. This is yet another issue with low survival rates and choice specimens being the anomaly. Most collectors end up purchasing a market acceptable example to fill that spot in a Dansco or Whitman album. When first evaluating this example, from the West Texas Collection, an Original quality rating was assigned and priced. The surfaces are toned an even medium gray that may not be strictly original but close enough to be graded by the TPGs. During a second inspection, a small rim filing was noted at 12:00 above Liberty's head. The filing is about 5 reeds long and the location might suggest a removed jewelry loop but I'm not convinced of that. My thought is the rim was initially filed but left at that as the color is uniform with the balance of the coin. Otherwise, this offering is quite acceptable with only two tiny rim scrapes to mention on the reverse. A decent offering of this difficult and expensive date. I've seen much worst in TPG holders.

Yes, the luster may not be strong enough for an MS65 designation but all other parameters make this dime a complete stand out as an MS64 Both obverse and reverse offer rainbow bullseye toning with satiny textures.

The reverse has some weakness at the upper wreath leaves and on the ribbon bows as is so common for this variety. Surfaces are entirely blemish free also. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. CAC approval validates the originality and eye appeal. I'm not sure why this 1857-O dime did not receive a gold bean as undergraded at the MS63 level.

If I were still collecting, this one would be heading to the Gerry Fortin Collection.

 Original $7500 New August 12! Original Surfaces, Punched and Tooled, Rare Date and Grade, Osprey Collection. Just back from PCGS graded and certified as VF Details which is a tad conservative on the assigned grade. A no question strictly original example of the 1874 Carson City key date for completing a Liberty Seated dime date and mintmark set. Surfaces have no indications of porosity, after careful 10x loupe inspection, which is so common on most examples. Strike is quite good with a nearly complete head. The strike has a long ago reverse punch at the denominations that left an extrusion on the obverse. The obverse extrusion was then tooled down leaving a untoned circular region at Liberty's knees. Therefore, this piece will not grade and is targeted for a collector building a Dansco or Whitman album set and needing to fill that 1874-CC hole. Given the number of banged up and porous pieces seen over the years, this EF40 example should fit nicely into an EF or AU grade set without breaking the bank. From the Osprey Collection. I believe the asking price is fair based on CoinFacts auction records for problem 1874-CC examples.

A pretty 1875 San Francisco Seated half that appears undergraded in current NGC holder. One immediately notes the attractive rose-gray coloring and luster that is perfectly natural. Strike is complete with bold head and hair curls along with rounded stars. Some why is this lovely piece grade MS61? Upon a close 10x loupe inspection, I noted some very faint roller lines across the central obverse when tilting the half under a bright light. Otherwise, I don't have an explanation. Housed in new large font NGC holder. Overall a pretty Liberty Seated half dollar in mint state grade at a value price. Perfect for a type set.

 Choice $2750 New August 10! Choice Original, Crusty Gray Patina, Rare Date and Grade, Accurately Graded. 1821 is a challenging year for Capped Bust quarter collectors. There were many re-uses of dies from 1820 along with mintage of coinage dated 1820 during the 1821 calendar year. The 1820 B-4 die variety is believed to have been struck in 1821 and therefore reducing the stated mintage of 216,851. The offered example is a near gem and perfectly original. Capped Bust quarters are well known to be found with problems and few surviving in choice condition. GFRC is pleased to be offering this choice example. Surfaces are essentially blemish free and covered with crusty gray patina along with ebony shades surrounding the stars and legend. Strike is crisply executed and uniform. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Fresh to market and Denver ANA show new purchase that will please the most selective early type collector.

$1450 		New August 10! Rare Date, Choice Original Surfaces, Accurately Graded, Reasonable Strike, Newtown Collection. A JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. First CAC approved 1856-S example handled by GFRC and there is a good reason why. CAC has only approved 12 total pieces with only two in all VF grades and two in both EF grades. Now think about that point for a moment as only four examples are choice enough to be approved in better circulated grades. This is example is no question original with rose gray obverse patina that turns to darker shades at the rims. The reverse offers similar coloring with less rose and more of a gun metal gray appearance. Strike is reasonable but not full as there is some weakness at the gown line. In terms of aesthetics, the stars are fully struck while there is weakness in the upper wreath leaves. Surfaces are essentially untouched except for a toned over mark in the right obverse field near stars 9 and 10. This mark is faintly visible on the GFRC images as old and completely toned over. Housed in older PCGS holder with blue label and standard ring insert. CAC approval is 100% warranted based on the other examples that I've seen of this date.. A strong duplicate from the Newtown Collection that should be immediately scooped up as so difficult to find so choice.

 Choice $3250 New August 10! Key Date, Choice Original, Uniform Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Newtown Collection. Key Civil War date in a special preservation state. Serious Liberty Seated dime collectors recognize how difficult it is to located choice examples of the 1860 New Orleans date. Mintage is tiny at 40,000 with most being lost and rediscovered in Civil War battlefields. The there is the Type 1 obverse design hub that has weak relief and wears down quickly. Probably 80% of the surviving examples have some amount of environmental damage or have been repaired enough to be certified by the TPGs. This example is different and offers traditional gray patina that we associate with natural toned silver; it is one of the few I've seen. GFRC originally sold this example into the Newtown Collection after locating privately. Recently, the Newtown collector upgraded this example with the Under Construction PCGS VF35 CAC specimen, therefore one is being released back to the marketplace. If you are a passionate Liberty Seated dime fan, then consider this example even if your coin is a slightly higher grade. The eye appeal of the Newtown specimen should exceed most that are available.

 Choice $800 New August 10! Crusty Original, Natural Medium Gray Patina, Strong Strike, Weak S Mintmark, Newtown Collection. Another important duplicate offering from the Newtown Collection that deserves special consideration. This 1866 San Francisco strike is the F-101 die pairing with weak S mintmark. In some cases, the mintmark is barely visible and often mistaken by inexperienced dealers as a Philly mint strike. The downward sloping date is the important diagnostics as Philly strikes have an upward sloping date. This example is fully original with natural crusty grade patina. Strike is quite good for this date and mint with only a touch of weakness at the upper head and on the upper left wheat grains on the reverse. Surfaces are essentially blemish free with only a faint micro line from Liberty's left facing breast to stomach area; this line is mentioned for 100% accuracy as no other dealer would bother at this level.

$2200 		New August 10! Very Rare Die Pairing, Original Surfaces, Gun Metal Gray-Blue Patina, Accurately Graded, Newtown Collection. Mintage of the 1867 Philadelphia date is a tiny 6,000. As a result, 1867 dimes are considered a key date in the series along with the 1871-1874 Carson City strikes. What makes this Newtown Collection offering more desirable is the F-101 die pairing that is very rare. In my web-book, the F-101 die pairing is rated as an R6 rarity and listed as a proof strike. But in the discussion surrounding this date, I question whether this die variety is a proof strike by design as the surfaces lack mirrors from that timeframe. This circulated example has been designated a business strike by PCGS and I am comfortable with this certification since the F-101 variety is disclosed. Let's take a good look at the dime in hand. Well struck with no points of weakness is always an excellent starting point. The obverse is covered with gun metal gray-blue patina with some residual luster under a light source. The reverse has a heavier blue component in the coloring and makes for nice circulated cameo contrast. There are no blemishes to mention. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. An important date and die variety offering from the Newtown Collection that should not last long at the asking price.

 Choice $4950 New August 10! Important Carson City Strike, Choice Original, Crusty Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Newtown Collection. Carson City dimes from 1875 to 1877 are fairly plentiful, but the initial issues (1871-CC through 1874-CC) from the legendary Old West facility are rare and always draw attention when offered. Many example from the early Carson City mint timeframe are encountered with granular surfaces or show other problems. Planchets were not to the required 90%:10% Silver: Copper alloy since copper was a scarce metal in the southwest. As a result planchets had a higher percentage silver with the lack of copper resulting in faster 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 but the balance of the strike is weak; especially on the reverse. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder with that all important CAC approval. A quality Carson City duplicate being offered by the Newtown Collection that should not last long.

One sees many 1838 dated No Drapery quarters on the market while the 1839 date is much more challenging to locate. Poor strikes on No Drapery designs are also a substantial issue as few example are struck up enough to appreciate the artistry of Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht. GFRC is quite pleased to be offering this lovely 1839 example that is housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert and accurately graded at the AU55 level. Surfaces are perfectly original with brown-gold patina and no blemishes to discuss. Strike is much better than averate with close to a full head on Liberty and the definition of lower reverse eagle feathers, claws and arrows. A strong offering that deserves special attention by avid collectors of the series.

Few examples are known with the PCGS population report indicating (6) in AU55, (3) in AU58 and (5) in MS62. That is it after 30 years of PCGS grading. Reviewing CoinFacts and HA records indicates that some of the AU55/58 examples don't have much eye appeal. A Denver ANA show purchase with surfaces that are lightly mirrored and offer ample residual luster. Faint gold patina is surrounds the obverse stars while the reverse exhibits deep gray within the legend lettering. Strike is superb with all stars having connected centrils while Liberty's hair curls are deeply impressed. The same is seen on the reverse with crisply defined eagle feathers and claws. This is no strike weakness whatsoever. In terms of blemishes, there is nothing to mention either. Die lines are seen from stars 3 through 5 to the rim and validate the Briggs 1-A attribution. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. This piece has not been submitted to CAC. Advanced Liberty Seated quarter collectors should give this piece special consideration.

This example is strictly original and attractive with circulated cameo eye appeal. The fields are covered with crusty ebony-gray patina while the high points offer lighter colors.

A popular example of the CSA administration strike with bisecting die crack through the date. The W-13 die pairing was employed during April 1861 under the administration of the Confederate States of America. This variety is easily recognized by a vertical bisecting die crack from the rim through the upright of the 6 digit into the base. This EF40 graded example has been dipped and is an even white with faint gold patina under a light source. Strike is so typical of the W-13 variety with weakness at the stars surrounding Liberty's head and on the reverse denomination. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

San Francisco strikes from the 1861 WB-9 die pairing have unique characteristics that must be consider during purchase. The first point to note is the badly eroded obverse die that produces strike with a dished appearance. Since the die is so worn, luster takes on a strong satiny texture. The reverse die is fresh with crisp device details and frosty luster. This example, from the Newtown Collection, offers a bold strike with intricate head and facial details. Eye appeal is high due to the dished obverse and different finishes between obverse and reverse. There is some faint chatter on the obverse is one looks close enough; this one is graded AU50 and not AU55. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder and ready for a home in an advanced collection.

We know that the 1873-S date is a challenge to find choice (only 8 total at CAC) and again, the 1874-S is similar in difficulty. This example offers reflective rose luster and and a nearly complete strike. I would not call this piece strictly original but then again a Market Acceptance quality rating is too harsh due to the eye appeal. I'll let you decide.

 Original $1850 New July 30! CSA Die Crack, Die Crack from Star 7 to Nose, Original Surfaces, Violet Toning Arc, Full EF45, Santa Fe Collection. The famous CSA Die Crack 1861-O half is a coin that has been desired by specialized Civil War collectors since first cataloged by Beistle in 1929. It is found with same ”die crack at nose” as the four CSA muled halves. The landmark article by Randall Wiley in “The Gobrecht Journal #94” discusses the various die states and marriages in great detail. From die state analysis, Wiley further identifies other Confederate strikings (W13-W15) which also are highly collectible, but not as dramatic. The offered example is fully original with gun metal gray-blue patina. The obverse CSA die crack is bold and easily viewed with a 10x loupe. PCGS has designated this example as Genuine, Stained. What is the staining all about? There are two circular rings on the half about the size of a dime. One ring is on the obverse and the second on the reverse. The ring is a rose toning arc comprised of foreign material on the coins surface. Otherwise this CSA Die Crack example is strictly original and a strong EF45 specimen. I've priced this one at an attractive $1850 price after studying Heritage Auction records. Shipwreck examples with corroded surfaces are selling for $2500 therefore this offering is quite affordable at the asking price. From the Santa Fe Collection. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

CAC Approval July 2017. 1865 San Francisco strikes are notorious for having flat heads. The worst case strikes for obverse weakness are those struck with Obverse 1 resulting in F-101 and F-102 die pairings. Given the weak strikes, the grading services have a difficult time with accurate grading. Since the default is to be conservative with strike versus true wear, this date is oftern conservatively graded as is the case here. Surfaces are essentially choice with light gray patina. There is a well toned faint blemish on the left facing breast that is mentioned for accuracy. Die erosion is immediately noted on the Small Thin S reverse that was left over from 1861, yes....1861.

Surfaces are no question original with mottle brown-ebony toning on the obverse and more expansive ebony coloring on the reverse. The reverse die cracks are well raised of the surfaces and are distinct. In terms of blemishes, there is a rim mark by star 3 that is minor and some faint chatter in the right obverse field that is completely toned over. As a result, an Original quality rating has been assigned. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. A scarce shattered reverse variety from the White Pine Collection.

$295 		New July 23! Smoking Liberty, White Pine Collection. The popular Smoking Liberty die variety that is listed within the Top 25 Seated Quarter Die Varieties set. A die scratch is presence at the perfect location to give the appearance of Liberty holding a short cigar. The PCGS cleaning designation appears to be a bit strict on this challenging yet popular variety. Looking carefully at the surfaces under bright light, the reverse is no question original while the obverse surfaces may be a bit too reflective for natual luster. This piece was first sold out of the Saw Mill Run Collection in the present holder. Housed in 2013 generation holder with edge view insert and Cleaning - AU Details designation.

 Choice $600 New July 23! S/Horizontal S, White Pine Collection. A gorgeous higher circulated grade example of the popular S/Horizontal S die variety. This piece offers old album bullseye toning that is so pleasing. A small obverse rose center is surrounded by a ring of aquamarine while the reverse has similar coloring but a narrow ring of aquamarine-blue at the legend. Bright light viewing is enjoyable as the fields are lightly mirrored and provide substantial cartwheel luster in combination with the transparent patina. Blemish wise, the reverse has a rim anomaly above OF and there is a micro line to the left of the mintmark. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and the variety labeled as S/HORIZ S to denote the variety. A gorgeous example from the White Pine Collection that deserves special consideration.

Choice $435 New July 23! Choice Original, Medium Gray Patina, Blemish Free, Tough Late Philadelphia Stike. CAC Approval July 2017. Late Philadelphia strikes are always in demand and locating problem free examples is challenging. Offered here is an 1879 example with mintage of only 13,600 pieces. Demand for small silver denomination coinage dropped off dramatically after 1878. As seen within Seated dime, quarter and half dollar series,there is a marked reduction in mintage starting in 1879. I really like this choice example as about as perfect as one could expect at the Fine15 grade level. Surfaces have honest wear and uniform gray patina. There are no blemishes to discuss. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder.

$550 		New July 22! New Orleans Hoard, Original Surfaces, Accurately Graded, Historical Artifact, Saw Mill Run Collection. A historical artifact and lovely surviving example from the New Orleans Bank Find during 1982. The story goes that the discovery of several boxes of 1840-O and 1841-O Seated Liberty quarters and other U.S. and Spanish issues occurred when a construction bulldozer unearthed these. People reportedly lost their dignity as they jumped into the hole to secure a piece of the treasure. Prior to this point, 1840-O and 1841-O Seated quarters were considered rare. The offered example is a no question New Orleans hoard piece with characteristic surfaces and strike. The piece has toned nicely with even iridescent gold on the obverse and a combination of gold and blues hues on the reverse. Strike is uneven with weak gown line and mid section on the obverse and eagle legs/claws on the reverse. But then the balance of the coin has deeply impressed details. Overall, the appearance is of a higher grade as there is little wear. The assigned AU50 grade is a fair net for being a New Orleans hoard example. Housed in 2012 transition holder with blue label and edge view insert. Another important offering from the Saw Mill Run Collection.

Original $450 New July 22! Original Surfaces, Uniform Gray-Rose Patina, Well Struck, Conservatively Graded, Saw Mill Run Collection. When first examing this lovely 1844 New Orleans strike, my grading was EF45 or even a tad better. Then I was surprised to see that the PCGS blue label holder with an assigned EF40 grade. Really? This is quite the conservative grade. Overall, this example is quite nice with good balance of strike, original toning and blemish free surfaces (other than a toned over mark above the eagle's right wing. Adding a light source reveals blue obverse fields and rose-brown on the reverse with remaining luster. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. Though not CAC approved, this is an above average piece and quality offering from the Saw Mill Run Collection

 Choice $1000 New July 22! Near Gem Original, Classic Gun Metal Gray Patina, Well Struck, Scarce at Grade Level, Saw Mill Run Collection. Purchasing a better grade example of the 1860 New Orleans dates takes some careful evaluation. Collectors don't realize the limited availability of choice examples in AU as compared to mint state pieces. I took a quickly at CAC population reports and found that only seven pieces are Green bean approved in all AU graded with another 9 in MS63 or better. The challenge is pricing as a CAC approved mint state example will be a minimum $2000 outlay while an AU will be half that price. The offered Saw Mill Run example is a near gem for the assigned graded coupled with CAC approval. Surfaces are covered with uniform gun metal gray patina as one would expect from a 150+ year old silver coin. Strike is quite good for Type II obverse design coupled with Type 1 reverse. Housed in 2012 transition PCGS Security holder with blue label and edge view insert. Serious collectors should give this Saw Mill Run example some careful consideration. The asking price is not out of line for the grade and quality.
