Presenting The Connoisseur's Auction Sale Catalogs

The Gerry Fortin Liberty Seated Dime Collection                                           The Newtown Liberty Seated Half Dollar Collection

 

Welcome to a GFRC Online Auctions Connoisseur auction sales event featuring two of the most substantial Liberty Seated coinage collections to be assembled in the past 30 years. Two of GFRC's top consignors have joined forces to offer the numismatic community an opportunity to acquire finest knowns and grade rarities across both the Liberty Seated dime and half dollar series. More will be written in the coming months as these two collections are fully cataloged and published immediately below for your bidding consideration. Three auction sessions are currently planned for late mid-January 2025 followed by late March and May events to close out the sale. Unsold lots will become immediately available for purchase on the GFRC price lists.

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
