Gem $435 New January 6! Daniel Boone Bicentennial, Heavily Frosted, Gem Original, Pikes Peak Collection. FUN Show Price Reduction - The Daniel Boone Centennial silver commem was issue for five year, starting in 1934, with all three mints striking the 1935 to 1938 dates. The Pikes Peak release is quite impressive given its rich mint bloom and resulting frosted luster under a bright light. A superior example that readily deserves its green bean. A limited mintage of 2,100 pieces further adds to the allure. Housed in NGC Gen 9 (2001-2003) holder with CAC approval.

Choice $800 New January 6! Gorgeous Steely Reflectance, Choice Original, CAC Candidate?, Pikes Peak Collection. FUN Show Price Reduction - If searching for a perfectly original Liberty Seated half dollar for type, this Pike Peaks release might just fit the bill. I'm quite impressed by the undisturbed steely fields and resulting reflectance under a bright light along with swirling cartwheels. Patination includes the entire compliment of rainbow colors, especially the bullseye pattern on the reverse. When first inspecting this lot, my immediately question was why no CAC green bean. A careful 10x inspection notes potential rub on the eagle's neck feathers as the probably cause. Regardless, the presentation is above the certified grade and well worth being added to a type collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

Original $1350 New January 5! Rim Cuds at 10:00 and 4:00, Very Rare Die State, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. 1842 F-103b is the R7 die state whereby two obverse cuds at found at 11:00 and 4:00. The single 1842 cud obverse die state (F-103a) is listed in the Top 100 Variety set and available with some searching. The double obverse cud F-103b die state was mentioned by Greer as existing and being rare. I subsequently located an example at the ANR November 30, 2004 Frog Run Sale and was added to the Seated dime die variety online reference after its August 2004 release. This plate coin is one of the few F-103b examples known as I have only seen two examples of the doubled cud obverse die state outside of the plate coin, both are listed in the GFRC Sales Archive with the finest graded PCGS MS64+ CAC. A near choice example with some left obverse rim chatter precluding a full Choice quality rating. When pursuing an R7 die state, one can't be too stringent on perfection. I've thoroughly enjoyed owning this example. It ships in a 2x2 cardboard holder with Fortin notes.

New January 4! Weak Stars 1 Through 6, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The F-111 obverse, while exhibiting severe weakness, is paired with a heavily cracked reverse die. The origins of this heavily cracked reverse went undefined for decades until an interim die state reverse specimen appeared within GFRC inventory in late 2016. The interim die state of Reverse F, listed as F.2 (F-108a), was discovered on an NGC MS63 example with matching die cracks to those of the above late die state example but much fainter. During the interim die state The F-108a reverse is paired with Obverse 6. The F-111 pairing of Obverse 8 and Reverse F.3 was described in a 1984 issue of the Gobrecht Journal by John McCloskey from a Seated dime made available by Bill Carpenter. This web-book plate coin was purchased March 1992 and ships in its original 2x2 cardboard holder.

New January 4! Die Cracks Above Liberty's Foot, Large O, Slight Oblique Punch, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The die cracks on the F-107 and F-107 obverses, between Liberty's foot and Star 13, are similar. Careful study of the position of the diagonal die crack with respect to Liberty's foot is recommended. The additional diagnostic to differentiate the F-107 and F-107 obverses is the strength of the date punch. The F-107 obverse features a strong date with the 54 digits being closed and the left foot of the 1 digit being complete. The F-106 obverse, on the other hand, has a weak date hubbing. The F-107 reverse exhibits a Large O mintmark that appears to be slightly oblique. The upper section of the Large O mintmark is stronger in appearance than the bottom section. This lot is the plate coin at the Liberty Seated Dime die variety reference and was purchased August 1992, the early period of Fortin's die variety research. It ships in its original 2x2 cardboard holder from that era.

This 1869 F-101 date placement is the rarest of the five known Short Flag 1 varieties. After 25 years of searching out examples of 1869 Short Flag 1 dimes, I have located two examples that graded F12 and the plate coin purchased from an eBay seller in Argentina. This rare date placement variety can be identified by a nearly level date that is positioned high and far right. A check of the GFRC Sales Archive reveals on three raw example sold during the 2015-2017 timeframe, all being lower circulated grades. The release of the Liberty Seated Dime die variety online reference plate coin is a special occasion for those needing an high grade example for their Top 100 Varieties set.

This New Jersey Collection release is the OC-2 die pairing with perfect shield lines as the key diagnostic point. This is a steely example that exhibits notable reflectivity under a bright light. Rub and faint chatter in the fields is accentuated by the reflective surfaces and my Near-Choice quality rating may be too conservative. The reverse strike is complete while the obverse right stars lack center points. In hand viewing will reveal an attractive coin as compared to the GFRC images which suffer from holder lighting reflective from 5:00 to 9:00. Please keep this in mind when considering a purchase.

Original $5000 New January 3! Final Year of Design Issue, Pervasive Mint Frost, Bold Strike, New Jersey Collection. 1873 brought the final year of the Liberty Seated series along with being the first year that the coinage system contained three different dollars made for circulation (the Liberty Seated silver dollar, the new silver Trade dollar of heavier weight, and the gold dollar). Final year mintage was 293,000 though the date was substantial melted per Q. David Bowers' CoinFacts insights as reference here, "The Philadelphia Evening Telegram on July 11, 1873 carried this notice on the front page: "The Act of February 12, 1873 went into effect the first of April, and since that time none of the dollars coined prior to that date have been paid out." After July 10, 1873, many undistributed pieces still held at the Mint went to the melting pot. Included in the destruction was the large quantity of 2,258 unsold Proof dollars of 1873 and unspecified earlier years". This New Jersey Collection survivor presents pervasive mint frost and textured luster under a bright light. Light patches of surfaces chatter and marks are properly captured by the certified grade and preclude a Choice quality rating. Please rest assured that this dollar is 100% original and will please those who understand the series. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval.

A boldly struck F-104 example with heavily detailed repunching at the 184 digits along with holding the distinction of being the Greer and Fortin plate coin for the date and die variety. On the F-104 3, the final date is repunched north after the earlier date punch was positioned too low. An extra flag of the earlier 1 punch appears below the flag of the final 1 digit. The outline of the earlier lower loop of the 8 digit is seen below the final 8 digit. Repunching is seen below the base of the 4 digit. Purchased directly from Greer during January 1994 after his Liberty Seated Dime guidebook was released via DLRC Press. The GFRC images accurately capture the overall eye appeal, strike, and heavy repunching. Worthy of the finest Top 100 Varieties collection being assembled.

Light parallel lines are noted at the head when examined with a 10x and accurately captured within the GFRC images.

The F-114 die pairing can be identified by a weak date punch with the distance between the 1 and 8 digits being larger than other obverse date varieties. This example is the F-114 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seate Dime Variety Collectors online reference and presents steely reflectance under a bright light. Speckled gold toning is noted on both sides. There is not sign of rub though faint chatter is noted in the obverse fields. Purchase January 2007 and the final die pair listing for the 1871 date.

An interesting die pairing as the obverse working die hubbing was poorly accomplished as the motifs are quite weak and flow into the surrounding fields. The weak base above the heavily punched date digits is quite notable. Surfaces are toned a natural coin gray with subtle rose highlights. Residual luster is seen under a bright light. Grading is accurate as there is little wear on the breasts and lower leg. Purchased from Jim O'Donnell at the November 1993 Whitman Baltimore show.

Greer had listed this reverse, with its massive die cracks, as Shattered Reverse #2 in his DLRC Press guidebook. Fortin took the liberty of adding this variety to his Top 100 Varieties listing as #22. Even wear is noted on both sides with the reverse devices being notably weak as hubbed. There is an ancient and fully toned over line on the left side of the upper shield extending into the center motif while the reverse is problem free.

There is a massive die crack from rim above ST(A)TES and across through STA(TES O)F. Note that (O)F is partial obscured by the broken die. The die crack through tops of UNIT(ED) is well pronounced. This example was purchased directly from Greer during May 1995 and ships in its original cardboard 2x2. Both sides are toned a light gray with hints of rose on the obverse. The shattered reverse die cracks are readily evident on this lot. Within the Liberty Seated dime online reference, my F-102b image is that of a piece from Dr. Tim Cook where the die crack across (O)F is complete while on this example, the internal die cud has yet to form.

In addition, there are die chips around all stars on the plate coin except Star 1. This choice example was purchased during April 2001 as part of the Seated dime die variety research project. The repunching on the lower 8 digit is difficult to see with a 10x given the die crack at the date die digits has begun to form. This lot is a F-104 example with the obverse 4.2 die state.

New December 19! Late Die State, Huge O, Reverse 1838-O, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. This 1839-O F-108a web-book plate coin presents an interesting opportunity to study the late die state Huge O reverse die characteristics. It is the highest grade and latest die state example seen by Fortin during his Liberty Seated Dime die variety research years. On the F-108a obverse, a die crack connects the rim with Star 1. Another die crack joins Stars 4 and 5. Stars 1 through 3 are extremely weak during this die state. The reverse now exhibits a die crack from the rim to (U)NITED, which has been seen before on Huge O specimens. Further reverse die degradation has also produced a die crack through ST(ATES) to rim. The reverse die erosion is significant on the plate coin and is visible behind ON(E) and DI(ME). Purchased October 2004 and one of the finest known later die state Huge O survivors. High grade Huge O survivors will be found with granular surfaces due to severse die erosion that the grading services do not like, therefore this piece was not submitted for holdering, rather maintaining it in its original raw condition as purchased. Again, during the purchase timeframe, Coin World would list the Huge O die variety separately with its own price guide values. Over time, interest is this variety has waned, though Coin World has just published a feature article using the images from this piece. A numismatically significant example that belongs in a serious die variety collection.

Market Acceptable $550 New December 19! Huge O, Reverse 1838-O, Old Dip, Retoned, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. This 1839-O F-108 Huge O die variety is easily attributed by a combination of a weak obverse die and a Huge O mintmark on the reverse. The F-108 reverse is the left over reverse die from 1838 and is rusted with significant die erosion or die rust marks between ON(E) and DI(ME). The F-108 obverse is initially paired with an F-102 Small O reverse and can be found with reasonably strong details. However, it appears that this obverse lapped between the F-107 Small O and F-108 Huge O reverse die pairings. When paired with the Huge O reverse, the obverse exhibits a weak date in combination with weak Stars 1 through 3. The offered example was purchase during January 1990 directly from Brian Greer and was employed as the F-108 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. During that timeframe, the Coin World price guide would list the Huge O as a separate variety with its own pricing. Over time, the variety has fallen out of favor though a recent Coin World feature article (with this coin's images) may reignited interest. This example has been dipped in the past with the gold obverse toning at the borders probably originating from time in an old album. It will not certify so please consider when making a purchase. It will ship in its original 1990 2x2 with Fortin notes.

Astute collectors of the series recognize the date's challenge when strictly, with this example offers. Natural coin gray adorns both sides with embedded orange on the obverse and greenish tones on the reverse. A single contact mark in the right obverse field is noted but readily acceptable given the originality. This is yet another dime that needs a trip to CAC New Jersey as a strong example. Let's remember that the date comes weakly struck when considering wear. I believe this one is accurately graded and fair value at the offer price. Checking the price guides, there is a gap between PCGS ($2000) and CAC ($3000) with only 16 total with a green bean. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
