	Walking Liberty 50C	1934-S	MS63	PCGS 12860733		Choice	$1100	New August 3! Choice Original, Sheffield Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - The run of "rare" San Francisco dates in Mint State concludes with the 1934-S issue. This date is nearly as rare as the 1833-S which is also offered by the Sheffield consignor in our Two Fine Gentlemen auction event. Pastel yellow-blue, aquamarine, and gold are overlaid on frosted surfaces with the obverse toning being denser. Regardless, the frosted radiance is substantial under angled lighting while the cartwheels are equally vibrant. Strike is complete with fully formed vertical skirt lines, outreached hand, and Liberty's cap. With a 10x, a few scattered micro-ticks are noted but of no consequence. Only 11 examples have been CAC approved at the offer grade with 173 stickered in all grades. The CDN CAC guide is $1230 as reference. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval.

	Gold G$2.5	1851-O Liberty	AU58	NGC 4928446006	VP-001	Choice	$2070	New August 1! 1851/1851-O, Steely Frosted Luster, Honey Green-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Oregon Beaver Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - 1851 New Orleans struck $2.5 gold will occasionaly be located with bold repunching below the final 1 digit. However, a careful inspection of this VP-001, from the the Oregon Beaver Colleftion, revealed all four digits being repunched lower and to the left. Interestingly, PCGS has yet to recognize what is an obvious double date occurence while NGC does. This example is accurately graded with a full obverse strike while the reverse has typical center weakness. Coloration is a pleasing honey green-gold with some orange at the right viewing angle. Surfaces are nicely preserved with only a few scattered marks in the lower right obverse field requiring mention. Housed in new large font NGC holder with VP-001 variety attribution on the label.
	Gold G$2.5	1876 Liberty	MS61	PCGS 15616858		Choice	$5060	New August 1! Notably Rare Date in Mint State, Partially Mirrored, CAC Approved, Oregon Beaver Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - The 1876 gold quarter eagle date sports a mintage of only 4,170 and is a rarity in Mint State. In terms of CAC approval, this date is a major rarity with this example only at the MS61 grade level with six finer. Bright honey-gold surfaces are partially mirrored reflective, with minimal abrasions for the grade. Under a bright light, cartwheels are readily apparent with no obtrusive anomalies. Strike softness on Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's left leg is typical of the issue. A fresh release from the Oregon Beaver Collection that is worth of consideration. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Gold G$2.5	1889 Liberty	MS64+	PCGS 36980326		Gem	$2392	New August 1! Glowing Frosted Luster, Pristine Surfaces, GFRC-Gem Rated, Oregon Beaver Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - The 1889 Philadelphia quarter eagle issue sports a low mintage of 17,600 though sufficient quantities were saved during that period. A readily available date through MS64 with a dramatic population roll off starting in MS64+ in the PCGS population database. The CAC situation is similar with a census of 46 in all grades with only eight approved in full gem, with a pricing premium escalating over 3x. This new Oregon Beaver is a captivating offering that is most welcomed on the GFRC price list. Coloration is a uniform honey yellow-gold with glowing frosted luster during inspection. Pristine surfaces are noted with a 10x while the strike is weak at the eagle's left leg, a common issue per the PCGS price guide plate coins. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated 10C	1871	AU50	raw	F-104	Choice	$135	New August 1! F-104 Web-Book Plate Coin, Light Grey-Gold, Strictly Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection.

	Seated 10C	1887	MS63	raw	F-109	Choice	$250	New August 1! F-109 Web-Book Plate Coin, Frosted Luster, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A lovely 1887 dime with frosted radiance under a bright light.

	Seated 10C	1887	AU50	raw	F-103	Original	HOLD $135	New August 1! Repunched and Misplaced Date, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A challenging die variety to locate, the F-103 die pairing exhibits three important while common diagnostics types within one die pairing. Within the lower shield, the misplaced bases of the 18 digits can present. The right base of the 1 digit is clearly seen between shield lines 6 and 7. The lower outer left edge of the 8 digit can be found between shield lines 8 and 9. The date shows obvious repunching on the 1 and 7 digits. The final date was repunched in a counter clockwise rotation manner as the 1 digit is repunched above its flag while the 7 digit is repunched below the base. An original example that will be difficult to locate and fully worthy of the offer price.
	Seated 10C	1850-O	VF35	raw	F-105a R6+	Choice	HOLD $395	New July 29! Rotated Reverse 45 Degrees, Extremely Rare Variety, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The 1850-O F-105 die pairing is rarely seen with a rotated reverse die state. The reverse is rotated clockwise by approximately 45 degrees. Liberty Seated researchers and collectors should not be surprised to learn that an 1850 New Orleans dime strike can be found with a rotated reverse given that three of the four 1849-O prior year die pairings resulted in rotated reverse situations. This raw specimen is choice with steely fields and natural gray patina. The contrast between motifs and fields is quite pleasing. Purchase October 2007 and employed as the F-105a plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference.
	Seated 10C	1870	PF62	raw	F-103	Original	HOLD $450	New July 29! Web-Book Plate Coin, Rarer 1870 Proof Strike, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The 1870 F-103 proof issue is an interesting die variety study since the reverse die features a die crack across the bottoms of the left and right ribbon ends is more pronounced during the striking of the proof F-101. Interestingly, this reverse is again used in 1871 to strike a portion of the proof coinage for that year. This lot is 100% original with moderately mirrored fields and an overall steely gray presentation with orange enhancements at the legend and within the wreath. A 10x review reveals the presence of some faint obverse hairlines resulting in the assigned grade. The plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. Purchased from Chris Pilliod during February 2004 and a local bank box resident since that time.
	Seated 10C	1871	AU55	raw	F-105	Choice	$375	New July 29! Rich Granular Frosted Luster, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A lovely 1871 Liberty Seated dime that has been employed as the F-105 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference since 2004. Both since present dense silver-gray surfaces with granular frosted luster being notable under a bright light. The surfaces are essentially unabraded with the assigned grade a function of luster. Purchase February 1992 from an unknown source and ready for a new home.
	Seated 10C	1872	MS62	raw	F-102	Choice	HOLD $350	New July 29! Kam Ahwash Plate Coin, Thick Frosted Luster, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. This 1872 F-102 dime was purchased during April 1993 when I was actively searching for Kamal Ahwash plate coins from his Encyclopedia of United States Liberty Seated Dimes 1837-1891. The dime is featured on page 240 with its unmistakable deep rose obverse toning while the reverse radiates thick frosted luster. The obverse strike is complete with a tripled punched 2 digit and misplaced digits on the gown. Rather than being employed as a web-book plate coin, I chose to simply keep this piece stored in a bank box as a memory of the numismatic giant who ignited my passion for the Liberty Seated dime series. Let's hope this dime is purchased by another passionate student of the series.
	Seated 10C	1887-S	EF45	raw	F-102	Choice	HOLD $95	New July 29! Repunched 7, Choice Original, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. Yet another Liberty Seated dime web-book plate coin release from my reference collection, this 1887-S F-102 offering features repunching below 7 digit which is listed as A-2 within the Kamal Ahwash encyclopedia. Purchased from Brian Greer May 2005 with his usual conservative grading. This dime has claims to AU50 given the steely reflective fields under a bright light and minimum wear. Unquestionably original and guaranteed to grade at a TPG as sold if the economics work for the buyer. Otherwise, this release is ideal for the Seated dime die variety specialist.
	Gold G$2.5	1898 Liberty	MS66+	PCGS 35923569		Gem	$3750	New July 28! Near Perfect Superb Gem, Glowing Frosted Luster, CAC Approved. This 1898 quarter eagle is so close to perfection with its MS66+ certification and CAC green bean, and would be an ideal candidate for a high end U.S. gold type set. Glowing frosted luster is readily evident under a bright light with vibrant cartwheels. The surfaces are pristine with no contact marks or any other types of visual transactions under a 10x. There is a lint mark thread, as made, below Liberty's chin that should not be considered part of the technical grades, but I suspect this is the basis for not securing a full MS67 certification. Strike is fully executed. The CAC price guide is $3300 at the MS66 level with a jump to $5750 in MS67. Alternately, the PCGS price guide for MS66+ is $4250. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated 10C	1840-O No Drapery	EF45	PCGS 20321367	TOP #16 F-106	Choice	$1350	New July 20! Medium O, Choice Original, Cleveland Collection. This 1840-O F-106 Medium-O lot needs little discussion since being awarded a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. An early die state reverse without the vertical die crack at noon, but exhibiting the usual weakness at (ON)E. This is an unquestionably original example with peripheral gold overlaid on light gray surfaces. Pristine surfaces round out the accolades. Entry #16 in the Top 100 Variety set as created by Fortin during 2004. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated 10C	1850-O	VF30	PCGS 80804064	F-103	Original	$325	New July 20! Small O, Near-Choice Original, Cleveland Collection.. The 1850 New Orleans struck Seated dime issue will be found with three different mintmark sizes. The Large O is the most frequently encountered followed by a debate on whether the Medium O or the Small O are more difficult since each were struck from a single die pair. The Fortin web-book rarity rating assigns R5 for the Small and Medium O in grades of VF or better and an ongoing toss up based on individual collector experiences. This Cleveland Collection release is an old GFRC friend with prior records in the Sales Archives Surfaces are a natural gray with olive shades, The struck is typical for the issue while fields are unabraded. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	Seated 10C	1858-S	EF45	PCGS 13133558	F-103	Choice	HOLD $3250	New July 20! Super Originality, Low CAC Population, Cleveland Collection.. Coin gray fields host gold patina at the stars and legend, while light dirt inhabits the protected areas of the shield and wreath. F-103, with a downward sloping date and medium centered mintmark. Strike is typical, with softness at the bow knot. Seated dime production during the early years of the San Francisco Mint was minimal, with 60,000 pieces struck in 1856. The CAC census notes 26 pieces in all grades, with six finer. This is a perfect collector coin – well detailed, original, and scarce. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. Ex. Newtown, Dallas Collection, and Cleveland Collections.
	Seated 10C	1858-S	F15	NGC 2581904010	F-103	Original	HOLD $675	New July 20! Tough San Francisco Date, Near-Choice Original, Cleveland Collection. With a mintage of 60,000 and heavy circulation in California mining towns, this date is a prize when found well preserved and without issues. This Cleveland Collection duplicate F-103 is toned an even olive-gray though the images might suggest rose tones that were over amplified. If the NGC grading was a bit more conservative, a GFRC-Choice quality rating would be warranted as the surfaces are undoubtedly choice. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	Seated 10C	1868-S	AU53	PCGS 19911830	F-101a	Original	HOLD $825	New July 20! Underrated Date at Offered Grade, Natural Gray Patina, Obvious Reverse Strike Doubling. The 1868 San Francisco strikes are slowly securing their deserved recognition. This date has been underrated for years and locating any example in problem free AU or better is cause for celebration. Mintage is a low 260,000 pieces and a PCGS population report totating thirteen certified in all AU grades (AU50, AU53, AU55 and AU58). Considering PCGS has been in operation since 1986, that is one example graded every three years. Surprisingly, this date is more available in Mint State with twenty-ve pieces graded. The offered example is strictly original with classic gray patina and residual luster that is stronger on the reverse. Overall strike is better than average from early die state dies. The reverse exhibits heavy strike doubling at the lower ribbon ends and mintmark. Interestingly, Breen listed this strike doubling as #3347 in his Encyclopeida and commented, "1868-S Doubled rev. die, Very rare. Doubling obvious on ribbons and parts of the wreath." Research by Fortin has proven that the "doubling" is actually strike doubling and not working die doubling during the hubbing process. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. Previously handled by GFRC with the record in the Sales Archive.
	Seated 10C	1870-S	VF35	PCGS 10586783	F-101	Choice	HOLD $1500	New July 20! Very Scarce, Choice Original, Cleveland Collection. One of the most challenging dates in the Liberty Seated dime series to locate with choice original surfaces, other than the 1871-CC through 1874-CC dates, and of course the 1885-S. Natural coin gray patination is consistent on both sides with accurate grading at the certified grade. The weak reverse strike results from a left over 1869 die being reused for the 50,000 struck that year. Astute fans of the series will understand why I'm calling a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for this Cleveland Collection release. A fresh coin to GFRC and pleased to be handling. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	Seated 10C	1878-CC Type 2 Reverse	AU50	PCGS 26798627	TOP #79 F-104	Choice	HOLD $1600	New July 20! Rare Type 2 F-104 Polished Reverse, Choice Original, Cleveland Collection. The Cleveland Collection releases an 1878-CC Type 2 reverse F-104 that is fresh to GFRC. The F-104 history is a long story and here goes. 1878 Carson City Obverse 2, in its final die state, is paired with a left over heavily lapped reverse die from 1877 (Type 2 Reverse A). During a previous die pairing during 1877, the reverse die appears to be severely cracked. Noted early Liberty Seated dime researcher, Kam Ahwash, speculated that the reverse die shattered, taking away the lower left ribbon and part of the bottom of the left maple leaf. After studying an 1877-CC Type 2 F-110 example and this 1878-CC shattered reverse coin side by side, I believe that this die was severely polished or lapped throughout its face to produce the remaining coinage ordered in 1878. This survivor is an original example with orange-gray patination and bold diagnostics. Strike is impressive. The entire lower left wreath details are effaced by the die lapping while remaining devices are fully impressed. Remember that F-104 examples must be graded based on obverse as the reverse degradation is severe. A typical 1878-CC Type 2 reverse dime will have a two grade difference between obverse and reverse. Listed in the Top 100 Varieties Set as entry #79. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder.
	Seated 10C	1880	MS64	PCGS 21325536	F-102a	Choice	$750	New July 20! Broken 18(80), Choice Original, Cleveland Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder. Full description shortly.
	Seated 10C	1887-S	VF35	PCGS 29157419	TOP #82 F-104	Choice	$150	New July 20! Medium S Over S, Choice Original, Cleveland Collection. The 1887-S S/S is listed as #82 in the Top 100 Varieties set and should not be underestimated in its challenge. This Cleveland Collection duplicate should be scooped up for those needing a quality example to fill that slot. A crusty olive-gray patina covers both sides. The strike is typical for the date and lets remember the assigned VF35 grade which implies considerable wear. The upper loop of the first punched S is easily seen in the upper loop of the final S where is key for the purchase. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) holder.
	Seated 10C	1889	MS63	PCGS 4672328	TOP #89 F-106	Original	$600	New July 20! Doubled Die Reverse #3, Golden Copper Patina, Accurately Grade, Cleveland Collection. Doubled Die Reverse #3 is listed as F-106. There is substantial die doubling in the left wreath devices. The offered example is strictly original with a transparent layer of golden copper patina on the obverse and more uniform gold across the reverse. During bright light viewing, frosty luster is activated and accentuates the golden hues. Originally from the Gerry Fortin Reference Collection and a top quality example housed in PCGS Gen 3.0 (1990-1993) old green holder with CAC approval. The grading is accurate with a weak upper obverse strike that is not uncommon for this die pairing.

Strike is typical for the Type II/II design by James Longacre. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder and fairly priced based on past records in the Sales Archive.

	Seated 25C	1858-S	VF30	PCGS 13427067	Briggs 2-B	Choice	$2000	New July 12! Difficult Early San Francisco Date, Rose-Gray Patina, LaSalle Collection.. The 1858-S Seated quarter issue becomes especially difficult in EF and better grade, and it's no slouch at this VF30 level either. The LaSalle Collection specimen is a choice survivor with natural rose-gray patination overlaying steely fields. The toning is deeper surrounding the stars and reverse legend. The Obverse strike is typical while the reverse is nicely uniform. Surfaces a minimally abraded and pleasing given the time in circulation within western mining town communities. A quality lot that is housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	Seated 25C	1861-S	VF35	NGC 4239784010	Briggs 2-B	Original	$3500	New July 12! Key San Francisco Date, Residual Frosted Luster, LaSalle Collection. 1861 San Francisco Seated quarter offering which brings the distinction of being the key west coast mint date in the series. Mintage is documented at 96,000 units with few saved from California gold mining town commerce. Nearly the entire mintage was placed into circulation and remained there until well worn or lost. This survivor is noteworthy for its limited wear and residual frosted luster under a bright light. Device are bold and well defined for the issue. Light gray toning covers both sides with enhanced ebony on the central reverse. Examining the PCGS population report, this date thins out quickly at the VF35 to EF45 level with few finer. This LaSalle Collection release is an important opportunity for the advanced collector. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	Seated 25C	1867-S	VF20	PCGS 11626087	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$1600	New July 12! Very Scarce in All Grades, Natural Coin Gray, Choice Surfaces, Lasalle Collection. 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.
