This VF30 is perfect for the grade with all letters in LIBERY sharply defined along remaining scroll edge. Well struck with minimal marks. The initial obverse die crack on the lower leg and foot is starting to appear. This Port Matilda offering probably does not need a JUST BUY IT NOW announcement to sell but certainly deserves it.

	Seated 10C	1839-O No Drapery	AU58	PCGS 38359130	F-106	Choice	$800	Early Die State Cobweb Shattered Reverse, Steely Luster, Bright Light Eye Appeal, Massachusetts Collection. Have you ever thought of building an 1839 F-106 reverse die progression? This is possible as the F-106 Cobweb Shattered reverse was used continually into a termination die state. Finding an F-106 without reverse die cracks will prove to many time more challenging than the popular later die states. This Massachusetts Collection duplicate was struck during the earlier pottion of the reverse die life with light die cracks. This example comes with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as I'm lovin' the brilliant steely fields and resulting luster. The reverse bright light performance is stunning. Bluish-gray toning covers the obverse with embedded gold that extends to the reverse. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

I'm really loving this superb 1871 F-101 repunched date proof dime and believe that a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation is warranted. This gem presents intense watery mirrors and lots of bright light viewing pleasure. Deep green-rose in-hand coloring shifts to aquamarine-gold once the fields become reflective. Surfaces are entirely unabraded. Wire rims are bold and high. This proof die variety struggles to achieve higher certified grades due to the unique die finish. As is typical for the variety, there is pushed arcing metal at Liberty's head and at (O)F. I've yet to determine the cause of that arcing metal that is also unique to this die pair. A Top 100 listed variety and a fitting inclusion into an advanced set. Housed in new large font NGC holder with "18/18 TOP-100 F-101" attribution on label. CAC approval too!

As a collector assembling the later published The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors, I searched for over a decade for the 1875 F-106 misplaced 5 in the base specimen. The Greer plate coin was the only example known to me. Since operating GFRC, I've seen a few others including an MS65 specimen. I remain thrilled to be handling this lovely MS64 example for a second time. A fully struck specimen with lightly mirrored fields and a semi-transparent layer of faint gray-rose patina. The misplaced 5 digit is well defined in the base. I'm going with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation at the asking price. Treat yourself and add this special offering to a collection!

	Seated 10C	1877	PF64Cameo	NGC 3122691003		Gem	$1450	Remarkable Cameo Preservation, Sharp Mirrors, Colorful Toning, Low CAC Population. Top end mint state and proof strikes are difficult to located for the 1877 Philadelphia date. Business strikes have a common date status but just try to find gems. This 1877 proof strike is worthy of a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation as one of the finer pieces recently handled among many. How I enjoy the watery obverse fields and reflections. Obverse toning is boldly colorful with center rose surrounded by blues. At the right lighting angle, some gold also appears at the rims with more prevalence on the reverse. A 10x review finds a few faint lines that are enhanced by the mirrors. I guarantee that the buyer will be thrilled upon arrival. CAC population is 7 at grade with 6 finer for Cameo designation.

	Capped Bust 50C	1823 Patched 3	MS62	PCGS 39322807		Choice	$7250	Patch 3, Exceptional Eye Appeal, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Very Scarce CAC Approved. A luscious 1823 O-101a Patched 3 offering that would be a highlight in an advanced Capped Bust half dollar collection. Beautifully preserved with a stunning presentation of brilliant frosted luster and surrounding copper-gold and aquamarine-blue peripheral toning at the rims. A few luster breaks in the left obverse field account for the technical grade. Eye appeal however, is that of a higher grade. Mint worker efforts to "patch" the center of the digit is easily seen under 10x. This is a low CAC population variety that is always popular. Only three have been approved at this grade level with six finer. The pricing premiums grow much more substantial at Choice Mint State. I like this piece so much that a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation is warranted as this is such a pretty example. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 holder with CAC approval.

Let's kick off the introduction of Summer FUN 2022 new purchases with this gem 1834 O-116 Small Date half that deserves a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. The certified grade is much too conservative given overall eye appeal including brilliant frosted luster from granular mint bloom. Cartwheel are intense and so pleasing. Toning is intermixed olive, rose, gold, and gray. Bright light viewing leads to light rose-gold with shimmering luster. Why MS61? Someone at NGC was having a bad hair day and took it out on this beautiful Capped Bust half as I'm unable to find any abrasions that explain the low Mint State grade. O-116 captures Obverse Hub 8 with double outline of clasp. CAC population is two at MS61 and eight at MS62. Well worth the asking price. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
