Welcome to a GFRC Online Auctions Connoisseur's Series auction sales featuring two numismatically significant consignments from long term clients. The White Pine Collection (Roger Terry) has been a GFRC consignor since mid-2017 with a constant flow of premium Liberty Seated coinage culminating in the release of his carefully assembled $5 Liberty collection. As often mentioned client relationship, many see the consignor "moving up the ladder" and they progressively release more substantial holding. The reasons can be two-fold for this behavior. First is gaining trust within the dealer relationship to release top shelf holdings. Second is the collector's difficulties in the releasing the better pieces back into the market place. This White Pine release is truly special with consistent CAC approval across a host of Charlotte branch mint and Civil War rare dates leading to a not to be missed opportunity for gold specialists.

Our second Connoisseur auction sale client is the Island City (Chip Nimsgern). Chip's GFRC tenure as a client originated during 2019 with the construction of a complete Standing Liberty quarter collection which was subsequently sold via the GFRC Online Auctions platform. While assembling the Standing Liberty quarters series, Chip was also keenly focused on amassing a differentiated 18th and 19th century type set in copper, silver, and gold metals. CAC approval was mandatory during this acquisiiton process and will serve out client well during the forthcoming auction.

Both the White Pine and Island City Collection consignments were insourced at the Oklahoma City ANA with a desire for a near term auction prior to placing unsold lots onto the retail price list. This quick auction preparation does not allow for formal lot viewing at a national coin show. Rather, regular GFRC clients can employed my photography and the Len Augsburger authoritative descriptions to assesing these offerings. Furthermore, I will be offering private phone consultations to review specific lots. Clients have found these consultation to be useful in formulating their bidding strategies.

GFRC Online Auctions will continue to offer three payment lay-a-ways for auction winnings over $3000 moving forward. To take advantage of this payment option, bidders must registered with Gerry prior to the auction open and confirm their lay-a-way requirement. Those that don't confirm prior to the auction will not be afforded this privilege. Please contact me at Gerry@seateddimevarieties.com or 207-329-9957.

The GFRC Online Auctions application was designed with simplicity for bidders given the No Buyer's Fee policy. Bidders do not need to contemplate the Buyer's Fee percentage when placing bids. Every bidder is free to bid what they wish to pay for a lot. This fact become measurably important during the final hour of the auction sale whereby bidders can stay focused on determining their auction ending bidding strategy without factoring in a Buyer's Fee.

The GFRC Online Auctions platform has become yet another divestment option for collectors along with the regular price list consignments. I've seen the GFRC community become incrementally comfortable with taking holdings onto an auction platform for upside bidding potential and increased prices realized. Again, with a simplistic No Buyer's Fee structure, collectors can easily calculate their proceeds using the final bid and GFRC regular commission rates. All lots that do not meet reserves are posted on the 30 Day Price List after auction end along with the well known Collectors Corner numismatic marketplace. Our goal is to promptly sell you coins across multiple marketing channels.

Good luck with bidding.

Thank-you, Gerry

Steely, frosted luster flows from the surfaces of this With Arrows example, revealing russet patina at the peripheries. A dusting of crust graces the stars and legend, while the complete strike fully renders the star centers, leaf veins, and bow knot. The in-hand appeal is considerable, and the GFRC-Gem rating is easily merited. CAC notes 224 coins across all grades, 28 examples in MS64, and 55 pieces finer.

The stars and legend reveal gold and olive patina. The remaining luster, ample for the grade, is steely. B-1, the only variety for this year. This was a productive die pair, with 366,000 strikes, much higher than typically seen for this era. Not surprisingly, Steve Tompkins notes cracks in later die states. CAC notes 95 pieces total, 14 coins in EF45, and 45 examples finer. The CAC price guide value in EF45 is $625, moving up to $1,000 at the AU50 level.

Even golden-olive patina fills the protected areas, outlining the central figures, and the visual appeal is exceptional. Light crust is evident here and there, mostly within the shields, as often seen. As with the Gobrecht dollar, the date is curved, a style that continued through 1839. Briggs 1-A, with open claws. CAC notes 75 pieces across all grades, 18 examples in EF45, and 26 coins finer. The CAC price guide in EF45 is $1,000, and this is a pleasing example for the money.

	Seated 25C	1853 Arrows & Rays MS62	PCGS 36311773	Choice	Arrows & Rays, Choice Original, A Type Set Offering, Island City Collection. Creamy, frosty luster highlights a hammered strike, with deeply impressed stars and pinpoint detail in the feathers and claws. Brilliant centers lead toward russet and intense lilac color at the rims. This one-year design is highly popular as a type, pairing with the half dollar of the same year as the only Arrows & Rays pieces in the Red Book. Briggs notes one could spend a lifetime sussing varieties of this year, an opinion with which we concur. In the meantime, this piece will be identified by the die crack extending from the right arrow and by another crack at STATES. CAC has certified 303 coins total, 10 pieces in MS62, and 57 examples finer. The CAC price guide assigns a value of $1,800 in MS62. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

Thick, frosted luster radiates from both sides of this With Arrows type, and the visual flash is immediately apparent. Mixed indigo and evergreen patina fills the stars and date, while the centers are largely untoned. An energetic strike fully defines the star points and claw joints. CAC has certified 141 coins total, 18 pieces in MS64, and 14 examples finer. The CAC price guide in MS64 is $2,100. This two-year type is popular, and examples are more highly prized than "common date" pieces. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.3 (2005) holder with CAC approval.

	Seated 25C	1856 MS64	PCGS 13155656	Choice	Near Gem Original, A Type Set Offering, Island City Collection. Uniform, frosted radiance blankets both sides of this mostly untoned example.

CAC notes 62 coins total, two pieces in MS63, and 15 examples finer. The CAC price guide is $1,800 in MS63. The CAC population is low for an issue with a mintage over a million pieces, and the market has not yet fully appreciated examples with original surfaces.

	Seated 25C	1876 MS64	PCGS 31341190	Gem	Gem Original, A Type Set Offering, Island City Collection. The services are notoriously stingy when awarding grades that represent significant jumps in value, and this Centennial-dated quarter is a case in point. Luster booms from the largely untoned surfaces, and an MS65 classification seems a no-brainer. A closer look at the CAC price guide illuminates the mystery, with MS64 examples priced at $875, while the next grade up advances to $1,950. While we cannot guarantee or even predict the success of a crackout exercise, we can state with certainly that this GFRC-Gem rated piece will attract a bid above the MS64 price point. How much higher is up to the bidders! CAC has certified 144 coins total, 24 pieces in MS64, and 39 coins finer. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval.

Rich, satiny luster hosts scattered maroon and russet patina, and the eye appeal of this GFRC-rated Gem example is exceptional. The strike is needle-sharp, with completely defined shield rivets, a secondary pick up point after the Full Head attribution. This issue represents a two-year type, with stars added beneath the eagle later in 1917. CAC notes 865 coins total, 181 pieces in MS66, and 65 examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $3,000 in MS66FH. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.	Reserve: $2850	Auction Opens 9:00pm Saturday October 11th

Light gray skin leads towards original, frosty silver patina in the stars and legend, while a few crusty bits are evident here and there.

Coin gray fields accompany deeper slate shades in the stars and legend, while high points are graced by lighter silver color. Moderates crust resides in the stars above the eagle. An extensive die crack extends from the eagle's beak toward the left rim. Silver dollars are perhaps the most iconic of all American coinage denominations, and the 18th century date reinforces the proximity to the earliest days of the country. While a quick check of the Guide Book does not confirm the notion, we believe that U.S. coins dated in the 1700s should carry a slight premium as such. BB-161, with a thin first star and no berries.

This piece represents a pleasing exception, with only minimal chatter in the fields, consistent with the technical grade. Brilliant, frosty centers give way to smoky gray color in the stars and legend, marked by a crescent of blue patina to the left of Liberty.

	Gold G$5	1862 Liberty EF40	PCGS 28782634	Choice	Exceptionally Rare Choice, Near-Gem Original, White Pine Collection. The low mintage figure of 4,430 pieces tells the story of this scarce issue, struck during the Civil War when most gold and silver went into hiding.
