Photo	Date	Grade	TPG	Variety	GFRC Rating	Price	Description	Buy
	1875-CC	MS62	PCGS 45062684		Gem	HOLD $3650	Gem Original, Granular Frosted Luster, Transparent Gray Patina, Hammered Strike, CAC Approved. A gem Sarasota Coin Show new purchase that warrants a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Unquestionably original with reverse "dirt" inside the legend lettering, denomination, mintmark. The obverse strike is hammered with crisp definition of the hair braids and elevated stars along with a 95% struck up LIBERTY on the scroll. Under a bright light, this lot presents a soft frosted glow. Any abrasions are minute and require a thorough 10x review to locate. If searching for a Mint State Carson City double dime for type, this lot is worthy of close inspection and consideration. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval.
	1875-CC	AU55	PCGS 22040446	BF-2	Choice	$1800	New December 2! Popular Carson City Date/Type, Steely Reflectivity, Bluish-Gray Natural Toning. Limited mintage of 133,290 and ever so popular with Carson City collectors as a type coin. Surfaces bring a lightly crusted skin over partially mirrored fields. Under a bright light, the darker gray in-hand appearance shift to a pastel gray-blue with ample reflectance radiating through the patina. Obverse strike is uniform while the reverse sees weakness at the upper left wing, a characteristic of the BF-2 die pairing. This piece is unquestionably original and will easily fit into a Carson City type set. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.3 (2005) holder with CAC approval. A fresh trade with a GRFC client who is upgrading his Seated double dime set.
	1875-S	AU55	PCGS 37425394	BF-7	Choice	HOLD $485	New December 2! Superb Strike, Ideal for Type, Brilliant Reflectivity, Lightly Mirrored, Mottled Toning. Hurry on this 1875-S BF-7 double dime as an ideal candidate for a type set. This lot excels in several categories and deserves a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. I don't remember seeing many partially mirrored 1875-S double dimes in my travels and this piece certainly stands out under a bright light with sharp reflectivity on the obverse and to a lesser extant on the reverse. Next is the center obverse strike with LIBERTY being elevated with each letter distinctly defined separately from the scroll edges. The reverse strike is close to complete with intricately detailed feathers though there is some light weakness at the upper left wing tip. The grayish mottled toning is lighter on the coin that illustrated with my images. Overall, this is a really NICE double dime for type. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1876	PF61	NGC 1884337002		Original	$1575	New November 9! Very Scarce, Near-Choice Origjnal, 1876 Proof Set, Pre-Whitman Baltimore Offering. Housed in new large font NGC holder. Full descriptions forthcoming if not sold at the 2024 Winter Whitman Baltimore show.
	1876	VF20	ANACS 523989		Choice	$550	New October 19! Low Mintage Issue, Aquamarine Rose Patina, Choice Original, Lakeland Collection. The 1876 double dime Philadelphia issue has always been considered a challenging date given its mintage of only 14,640. A limited amount of this mintage actually circulated on the East coast resulting in confusion with the Seated quarter due to similar designs and sizes. The date is rare in VF20 or lower grades per the PCGS population reports. The aquamarine-blue and rose toning on this survivor is super cool and warrants a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. The wear is even with a few tiny marks in the lower right obverse field and consistent with the certified grade. The bright light presentation is quite charming. Housed in ANACS old white holder.
