	Early Copper	1820 Large Date	MS65+BN	NGC 6329497008	N-13	Gem	$2950	New August 19! Dazzling Luster with Attractive Toning. This large cent has wonderful eye appeal. The luster is excellent and accentuates the blue and magenta toning seen throughout the coin. There is a huge die crack on the obverse that connects the stars and date together. Miss Liberty's cheek is clean. Without some spots in Miss Liberty's hair, this coin would grade even higher.
	Flying Eagle	1857	MS63	PCGS 41703694		Choice	$1695	New August 18! Steely Reflective Luster, Wicked Nice Eye Appeal, CAC Approval. Ex. Evergreen and Sooner Collections. A thoroughly pleasing 1857 Flying Eagle strike that presents sharp steely fields with substantial reflectance. Surfaces are unabraded with a hint of obverse verdigris at the legend and date punch. Reverse strike is weak at the upper right wreath. Overall, the eye appeal is wicked nice and certain to please the advanced collector. Recently upgraded by the Sooner Collection and back on the price list. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval.
	Flying Eagle	1858 J-193	PF61	PCGS OGH 1457845	J-193	Choice	$2500	New August 18! 1858 Pattern Flying Eagle Cent. J-193. Ex. Humphreys Collection. The obverse is the regular-issue Small Letters 1858 cent. The reverse resembles the as-issued 1860 Indian cent with an oak wreath and ONE CENT with a shield at the top, but the shield is much broader and ornamental. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Excellent eye appeal despite a fair number of hairlines and a few spots. The mirrors are strong and the red mauve toning is very pretty. Housed in a PCGS Gen. 3.0 holder (Jan 1990 - Feb 1993).
	Flying Eagle	1858 Small Letters	MS63	PCGS 36364603		Gem	$1950	New August 19! Well Struck with Excellent Original Luster. Ex. Evergreen. Dazzling original luster excites the eyes on this well struck example. There are no noticeable marks. The PCGS label says this is a Small Letters variety. There is also an Eagle Eye sticker and a Snow-13 designation which is a Large Letter variety which looks to be incorrect as it is a Small Letters variety.
	Indian	1859	MS63	NGC 8424905012		Choice	$1095	Great Color, Clean Surfaces. This is an eye appealing example of the first year of the Indian cent type. Excellent red orange color with nice luster. A few small specks keeps this from a gem rating.
	Indian	1899	PF67RB	PCGS 50481396		Choice	$5450	Almost Fully Red. This nicely struck proof displays attractive color. The obverse is mostly red with deeper magenta color on the left which likely prevented the coin from being designated as fully red. The right obverse is flashy with orange color mellowing to yellowish green towards the rim. The reverse is fully red. None of the small specks are distracting.
	Lincoln	1914	PF64RB	PCGS 84101387		Choice	$1400	New September 10! Near Gem. Excellent Color and Surfaces. Gorgeous iridescent red brown toning sparkles with underlying luster. The fields are smooth with few defects. Well struck with all design elements fully formed. Looks better than a 64.

Gorgeous dual-side toning provides superb eye appeal on this first year of issue of this No Stars type half dime. Vibrant blue toning surrounds light magenta color. Well struck with a whisper of wear. There is an interesting cud forming on the first A in AMERICA on the reverse. Light handling lines can be seen on the obverse fields but are hidden beneath the very attractive toning.
	Seated	1838	MS65	PCGS 25351181		Choice	$1895	Near Gem. Atrractive Stars, No Drapery Type.. Surfaces are original with a few ticks on either side.

The reverse is well struck except for the A in HALF.
	Seated	1838 No Drapery, Large Stars	MS64	NGC 2685622002		Choice	$1285	Creamy Frosted Luster, Complete Strike, Near-Gem, CAC Approved. 2025 Black Friday Sale Offering - A boldly repunched star 8 is readily evident on this superbly preserved 1838 Seated half dime. Radiant mint bloom radiates creamy frosted luster when placed under angled lighting. Strike is fully executed with a reverse die crack through O(F) into the wreath. One reverse field mark holds this piece back from potential higher grade. The eye appeal is certainly there. Newly consigned and a premium example. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.

	Seated	1843	MS66	PCGS 13718953		Gem	$2750	Beautiful toning; shattered reverse. Excellent luster underlying golden rust toning at the centers with blue toning at the obverse periphery creates excellent eye appeal on this early Seated half dime. With only 9 stickered at CAC in 66 with none higher, this pop top half dime would be a great addition to a collector putting together a high grade set or would make an excellent type coin. The shattered reverse die creates additional interest.
	Seated	1846	EF45	CACG 41371215		Choice	$6950	Key Date! Good Detail, Unmarked Surfaces. Ex. Hilt Collection. Just 27,000 minted of this lowest minted date in the Stars on Obverse type. The next smallest mintage date is the 1853 No Arrows with a mintage of 135,000. What stands out is how smooth the surfaces are. The coin displays good detail with nice even wear. CAC has endorsed 4 at this grade, with just 5 higher. The CACG holder indicates this with a (L)egacy designation.
	Seated	1850	MS64	PCGS 28665988		Choice	$850	New September 25! Fully Struck with Good Originality. Ex. Sooner Collection. Fully struck with a clean obverse that grades MS65 on its own. Good originality is seen which makes the luster slightly muted. There is a hard to see thin pinscratch on the reverse above A in HALF going to the right cereal wreath to the topmost berry that takes this coin to an MS64.
	Seated	1853 Arrows	MS67	CACG 648509387		Gem	$12950	Original surfaces; High Grade Type Coin. CAC has only endorsed 9 coins at the Supberb Gem MS67 level of this three year type coin.

The grade is limited by a series of mint made planchet imperfections on the lower half of the obverse. Without the planchet imperfections, this coin would certainly grade higher. In a PCGS Gen. 3.0 (1990-1993) OGH holder.
	Liberty V	1909	PF67CAM	PCGS 50062136		Gem	$2750	New August 19! Attractively Toned on Both Sides.. It is unusual to find a nicely toned Liberty nickel with a cameo designation. The rims have bluish toning while the center is magenta on both sides. The toning doesn't impact the deeply mirrored fields that contrast nicely with Miss Liberty. Hairlines are not to be found. In a PCGS Gen. 4.1 (2002-2004) holder.
	Buffalo	1914-D	AU58	CACG 53871921		Gem	$650	Strictly Original and Nicely Struck. Few Marks. The 1914-D Buffalo nickel is one of the best dates in a circulated Buffalo nickel collection. This coin is strictly original and perfectly graded. It is nicely struck and has very few marks for an AU58. This kind of quality in an AU58 is hard to find which is what we seek relentlessly. The CACG holder does have some haze near LIBERTY on the obverse.
	Buffalo	1937 Three Legs	VF25	CACG 533236419		Gem	$1400	New October 11! Fantastic Eye Appeal; Popular Three Leg. Ex. Humphreys Collection The three legged Buffalo is as popular as ever.

	Draped Bust	1798/7 13 Stars Reverse	EF45	PCGS 12534347	JR-2	Choice	$42000	New August 22! Extremely Rare Variety; Only 5 CAC'd; Original Silver Grey Patina. Silver-gray surfaces with hints of rose patina as the coin turns under a light. A bit softly struck in the centers, there are a few abrasions that are consistent with the grade and heavy die clashing in the obverse fields characteristic of all known examples. One scratch mark parallels Liberty's bust to 5 o'clock on the obverse rim. This is one of the rarest redbook varieties of Draped Bust dimes with approximately 30 examples known, The CAC population in all grades is 5, with this one being the lowest. There is one in 58, two in 62 and one in 63. The 63 CAC sold in 2015 for $199,750. The two 62 CACs would likely cost in excess of $100k assuming one became available. The 58 CAC is locked up in my (Matt's) collection. This coin was sold by Stacks in August 2013 for $30,555. This is a rare chance to obtain a CAC'd collector grade example of this rare date.
	Capped Bust	1821 Small Date	MS62	PCGS 50984623	JR-9	Gem	$5250	New August 21! Gem at Grade, Steely-Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels. Ex. Evergreen and Osprey Collections. The steely frosted fields on this GFRC-Gem rated 1821 JR-9 dime are captivating. A stunning open collar Capped Bust dime that would be ideal for type or placement in an advanced date set. Under angled lighting, the luster is sharp and brilliant with swirling cartwheels adding to the viewing pleasure. A complete strike, with meticulously defined hair curls and elevated start center points, further enhances the presentation. Surfaces are essentially unabraded with two well hidden hairlines on the lower obverse that warrant mention and most likely correlate to the certified grade. However, the eye appeal is that of a higher grade.
	Seated	1821 Large Date	VF35	PCGS 26810131	JR-7 R2	Choice	$595	Smooth Original Coin. An appealing original Capped Bust dime with no major marks. The lettering on the reverse is particularly interesting due to the "S OF" letters in STATES OF AMERICA being noticeably higher than the other letters and the unusually large C in AMERICA.
	Capped Bust	1830 Small 10C	MS63	PCGS 45657036	JR-2	Choice	$3850	New September 28! Lustrous; Cool Die Cracks. Ex. Evergreen Collection. Both sides are well struck and exhibit frosty luster with the reverse having a bit more toning. Marks are consistent with the grade none of which is individually mentionalble. Interesting die cracks on the reverse, with a crack from the rim through the first S in States to the scroll and another heavier one through the leaves.
	Capped Bust	1831	MS64	PCGS 35587394	JR-5	Gem	$4950	New August 22! Gem Original wuth Attractive Toning. Ex. Evergreen. Orange-gold toning covers lustrous grey surfaces. Perfectly original and very clean for the grade.

An extraordinary gem in all regards as both sides are draped in warm frosted luster with rose-red and sea-green toning. The surfaces are fully pristine other than a single tick to the left of the clasp. The reverse was previously clashed with a Large Date obverse and presents die clash marks below DI(ME) and across the ribbons and stems. The Small Date punch can be easily distinguished by a round top 7 digit. The Small Date is the better of the two 1837 date punch varieties with the CAC census reported at 76 examples with only five finer. Heritage Auctions, 2003 Long Beach Sale, Lot #330. Housed in original PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4562.
	Seated	1838 Large Stars	MS66	CACG 498456108	F-113	Gem	$6500	New September 14! Reverse Die Flaw, Second Pairing, Gem Original,. This richly original example features blended steel-gray and champagne-pink patina on both sides. Strike is hammered with high relief stars regardless of the dies being significant eroded. Silky luster manages to radiate through a fairly thick patina. Surfaces are entirely unabraded and smooth and. The F-113 attribution points (reverse die flaw and die erosion below date) are easily seen. A well preserved candidate to represent the short lived No Drapery design in a high grade Mint State type set.
	Seated	1838 No Drapery, Large Stars	MS65	PCGS 6617309	F-104	Gem	$13500	New August 21! Large Stars, Gem Original. Ex. Evergreen and Gerry Fortin Collections. This 1838 Large Stars was among the numerous Gold CAC approved dimes within the Fortin Collection. Though overshadowed by three significantly shattered obverse dies, the F-104 obverse is also a compelling study with bold die crack through the rock and shield along with a second through star 9 and into the right field. This example radiates frosted luster from undisturbed surfaces with pastel sea-green and golden toning on the obverse and sky blue hues on the reverse. Cartwheels are equally impressive. Acquired during May, 2003 from the popular Teletrade platform. With its Gold CAC bean, this dime has claims to the condition census as the CAC population is 9 total at the MS66 and MS67 grades. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) Gold Shield holder with Gold CAC approval. PCGS #4568.
	Seated	1839-O No Drapery	VG10	PCGS 37211498	F-109 R6	Choice	$550	New October 1! Very Rare! Huge O Obverse, F-109 Small O Reverse, Natural Gray Toning, Choice. This is the third time that GFRC has handled this dime. As Gerry mentioned previously, "I've seen few 1839-O F-109 examples in any grade during my two decades plus of working with Seated dimes. The F-109 variety results from the pairing of "Huge O" obverse with another Small O reverse; its origins are not well understood to this day. The reverse exhibits a small O mintmark but from a different style punch fr0m previously documented dies of that year. The F-109 die pairing is the last use of the "Huge O" obverse die as most of the lower devices are effaced at this point." The coin itself is very original with attractive grey surfaces and few marks. The Seated dime variety specialist is advised to act quickly on this one.
	Seated	1840 No Drapery	AU55	PCGS 54100761	F-103	Gem	$750	Gem Original, Chin Whiskers Variety, Unique Toning. Ex. Hawk Farm Collection. A popular Top 100 variety with heavy die polish lines from Liberty's chin to bare shoulder, thus the name Chin Whiskers. This CAC'd example has nice grey toning over very clean surfaces. A splash of colorful toning around Miss Liberty's head makes this coin memorable. Both sides show slight softness of strike including the O of ONE on the reverse.
	Seated	1840-O No Drapery	EF40	NGC 6924959008	F-106	Choice	$950	Medium O, Top 100 Varieties #16, Choice Original Surfaces. 1840 New Orleans strikes are challenging in original EF or better grades. Three mintmark sizes are available with the F-106 variety resulting from a single Medium O reverse die. An early die state reverse without the vertical die crack at noon, but exhibiting the usual weakness at (ON)E. A nice original CACd example with classic grey surfaces with darker peripheries.
	Seated	1841	MS65	PCGS 50023838	F-104	Gem	$12750	New August 21! Repunched 184, Exceptional Gem, Condition Rarity. Ex. Evergreen and Gerry Fortin Collections. A richly and colorfully toned dime that is a condition rarity with a strike that is complete. It is important to note that strike variations often plagued the With Stars design. The eye appeal is exceptional with a partially mirrored obverse and frosted reverse. Apricot-gray, blue, and golden-orange shades decorate the obverse while slate-gray gives way to orange-tinged borders on the reverse. The surfaces are entirely unabraded and a joy during 10x inspection. The repunching below the 184 digits is boldly defined while the reverse die is pristine prior to becoming excessively rusted during later usage. Heritage Auctions, November 2002, Santa Clara CA Sale, Lot #6048. Housed in its original PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder with Gold CAC approval. PCGS #4579.
	Seated	1842	MS65+	PCGS 42075540		Choice	$4500	Near Gem. Sole PCGS MS65+. Strict Originaltiy. Ex. Hawk Farm Collection. This is the only PCGS MS65+ coin with just six coins graded higher.

"Luster bomb" best describes this 1842 as granular mint frost is pervasive on both sides. Under a bright light, the frosted radiance is intense and thoroughly satisfying. The strike is deeply impressed with a complete head, elevated scroll edges, and fully detailed wreath leaves. Faint gold is noted within the obverse center and is amplified by the photography. The CAC census is reported at 40 total with five approved at the certified grade and none finer. Privately acquired from the Newtown Collection during early 2023. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4581.
	Seated	1842-O	MS63	PCGS 2709936	F-105	Choice	$6600	New August 20! Choice Original. Ex. Evergreen and Tenafly Collections. Silver gray surfaces are uniformly shaded to the naked eye, though under a glass a few bits of crust are evident on both sides. Luster is a consistent with the grade, and a touch sharper on the reverse. F-105, with a die lump inside of star 12, and a slightly upward sloping date. The survival of Branch Mint coinage in this level of preservation was strictly a matter of chance, as little attention was paid to mintmarks until the end of the 19th century. A quick glance at the Guide Book confirms this, with prices rapidly increasing at the EF and AU levels. This piece approaches the condition census, as PCGS reports seven pieces finer, none higher than MS65. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with CAC approval. While this coin is by no means inexpensive, it remains close to finest known, and will sell at a fraction of the price of a Gem Uncirculated example. From the Jones Beach Collection (Heritage 1/2007, lot 2565, realized $4,600). PCGS #4582.
	Seated	1845	MS64+	PCGS 24705269	F-110	Gem	$3500	New August 23! Gem Original. Ex. Evergreen and Gerry Fortin Collections. A colorful 1845 F-110 specimen that is the sole MS64+ example certified. The GFRC-Gem quality rating is appropriate for this well balanced offering. Steely-frosted radiance is showcased by light copper gold and sea-green on the obverse rims. The sea-green toning extends to the reverse with deeper copper-gold throughout. As with nearly all Fortin Collection coins, the strike is complete with strong stars, head details, and complete wreath leaves. F-110, a third die marriage of Obverse 1 with a reverse die that exhibits deep die lines through AM(ER)ICA. Utilized as the plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. Nine are CAC approved at the offered grade with four finer. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2011-2013) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4586.

Only 31 have been stickered in all grades with Mint State examples amounting to slightly more than a handful. This MS62 example presents a hammered strike with every device intricately detailed including bold die chips surrounding stars 3 through 5. The surfaces are frosted with a natural light gray patina on both sides. A 10x inspection found unblemished surfaces with two obverse rim exclusions as made. This is worthy of belonging in an advanced collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1858	PR66	PCGS 81482044		Gem	$5650	Scarce Proof Date, Single Finer, Brilliant Mirrors, Evergreen State Collection. A glittering, reflective proof dime with a large amount of cameo contrast. Rose-gold and blues decorate the obverse while the reverse exhibits center aquamarine surrounded by rose and gold intermixed hues. A hammered strike further establishes GFRC-Gem eye appeal. 1858 was the first year of "official" public proof sales by the Mint. Although Breen estimated just 80 proofs issued and later estimates suggested 100 or so proofs. PCGS estimates 50-70 are known, however, few if any are the equal of this gleaming example. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with special D.L. Hansen pedigree label and CAC approval. An important Evergreen State Collection release.
	Seated	1859-O	AU55	CACG 15599188		Choice	HOLD $625	New October 8! Near Gem, Great Eye Appeal. This near gem has beautiful semi-relective grey surfaces with excellent luster and only a hint of wear. It has darker toning around the stars and legends on the reverse. The eye appeal is excellent.
	Seated	1860	PR65+CAM	PCGS 25619936	F-101	Gem	$2665	Superb Gem Type 1 Obverse Presentation, Brilliant Reflective Mirrors, Tenafly Collection. Final Consignor Price Reduction! - What a pleasure to be again offering this magnificent 1860 proof strike that originated from the Washington State Collection. 1860 brought 1,000 proof strike with the newly engraved and hubbed Type 1 obverse design per Longacre-Paquet. The design proved to be unpopular due to rapid wear of the high points and a flat overall appearance. When examining this piece, one of the finer extant, the intricate device details become apparent. I promptly noted that Liberty's legs and breasts are quite elevated as compared to the low relief head details. Fields are brilliant reflective and surround frosted motifs. The Cameo eye appeal is thoroughly pleasing. If attempting to build a Liberty Seated dime proof set collection (1856-1891), this example will set the bar for premium quality and warrants a strong bid. CAC has approved 6 at the PR65 grade with eight finer. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #84753.
	Seated	1864	MS66	PCGS 35690560	F-102a	Gem	$15000	Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Lightly mirrored, reflective luster penetrates the thick colorful toning of this Civil War piece. Aqua and russet patina predominate, with neon shades additionally present above the figure of Liberty. F-101a, with a defect at the upper right of O(NE), the same reverse die as used in 1863. Clashing is evident beneath DIME. This piece is tied for finest known at CAC with three other pieces. The overall CAC population is 24 pieces, and the CAC price guide is $7,200. Ex. GFRC. This piece represent yet another exceptional gem from the Newtown consignor, a pedigree that will long be remembered among Seated dime specialists. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

Evergreen and Gerry Fortin Collections. 1867 brought the lowest Philadelphia mintage with 6,000 struck. Mint State survivors are available in all grades with this lot being tied for finest at PCGS and CAC. An exceptional example with intense prooflike reflectance and colorful rose shaded centers surrounded by peripheral blues as struck with conspicuously striated dies. Partial wire rims are noted with a full obverse strike and near complete reverse other than the upper left wheat grains. F-102, with business strike from a single die pairing with a heavily clashed obverse only. Acquired via private treaty with no known auction records, though the lot is featured as the PCGS price guide plate coin. A side-by-side comparison with the Simpson specimen could be a revealing exercise. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4645.
	Seated	1870	MS65	PCGS 46135623	F-101	Choice	$3250	Better Date. The Only 1870 Dime in MS65 Endorsed by CAC. From the Indiana collection. The CAC population report shows a total of 26 endorsed by CAC in all grades. This is the only MS65 endorsed by CAC with four endorsed at the MS66 level. This highly lustrous coin is mostly brilliant white. The obverse is well struck with smooth fields. The reverse has some strike weakness on the upper left stalk.
	Seated	1873 No Arrows, Open 3	MS63	PCGS 85794205	F-101	Choice	$2600	New August 20! Open 3, Choice Original. Ex. Evergreen and Massachusetts Collections. The 1873 No Arrows Open 3 date continues to be underrated for its overall scarcity. It just does not garner an respect and is the Rodney Dangerfield of the dime series. The PCGS and CDN price guides are much too conservative given that only 19 are stickered with four better and the finest MS65 Fortin specimen realizing $13,500 at auction. This F-101 example exhibits thick frosted luster and a complete strike. Light gold patina is evident on both sides. Circular die cracks throughout the wreath exactly match those for the F-101 Liberty Seated dime die variety plate coin. This near-gem example offers old time eye appeal at a fair reserve. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4660.
	Seated	1874-S With Arrows	AU55	PCGS 19290730	F-102 R4	Choice	$1500	New October 1! Small Thin S, Choice Original, Golden Brown Patina, Accurately Graded. Ex. Cleveland, Tenafly, and Under Construction Collections. A thoroughly wholesome 1874 San Francisco strike with Small Thin S reverse. Surfaces retain active luster under the golden brown colors. Toning that is uniform across obverse and reverse. When viewed under a bright light, surfaces offer gun metal blue on the obverse. Strike is better than average but with weakness on Liberty's head. The reverse shows some die cracks in the left wreath but not far enough along to be designated as the F-102a die state. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 blue label holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1875-CC Above Bow	MS65	PCGS 45211121		Gem	$3950	Beautiifully Original. Attractively Toned. Popular CC Dime. Decently well struck Carson City dime of the more common Above Bow variety. The bluish toning on both sides enhances the eye appeal. There are a few miniscule marks on both sides that makes MS65 the lowest possible grade.
	Seated	1876	PF64	CACG 683040102		Choice	$925	Nice Mirrors. This near gem has excellent mirrors under bluish grey toning with rose highlights.
	Seated	1876-CC	MS61	CACG 94072028	F-129	Choice	$800	Well Struck and Original. This is an original and well struck example of the F-129 with doubling seen on the E in ONE on the reverse. Surfaces are attractively smooth for the grade. Light traces of rub on the obverse is the reason for the rather conservative grade from CACG.
	Seated	1876-CC Type 2 Rev	EF45	PCGS 83650078	F-101	Choice	HOLD $950	Type 2 Reverse, CACd Choice Original, Top 100 Variety. This is the third time this 1876-CC Type 2 reverse example is back on the GFRC price list. This time it comes with a CAC sticker. This coin is slate blue-grey with good eye appeal. This is a scarce and important Top 100 Variety. The PCGS Pop is 2 in 45 with 4 higher. The CAC stickered pop is 3, one in 15, this 45 and one higher in 50. There are two CACG coins in 20 and 25.

	Seated	1877-S	MS65	PCGS 55457544	F-111 R5	Gem	$5750	New August 15! Magnificent Gem, Granular Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Rare Die Pairing. Ex. Evergreen Collection. GFRC is thrilled to be offering one of the finest 1877-S dimes extant along with being a rare R5 die pairing per my research as published in the Liberty Seated Dime die variety online reference. This is a magnificent gem with granular frosted luster and vibrant cartwheels. A speckled natural gray patina overlays the obverse while the reverse is a lighter uniform gray with gold and rose shades appearing under angled lighting. The surfaces are meticulously preserved too! Now let's move on to the importance of this die pairing in terms of rarity. The F-111 variety is the last of the three different reverse die pairings (F-109, F-110, F-111) with Obverse 7. Reverse C, which was previously paired with the F-103 obverse, shows die wear and erosion at the denticles. There is considerable weakness in the lower left ribbon end and wreath leaves. The reverse die may have been polished after the F-103 die pairing. This is only the fourth F-111 example handled by GFRC with the next finest being a PCGS MS62 CAC example sold during May 2018. Clearly, the finest known F-111 extant. CAC has approved only 33 examples in all grades with five finer. The estimate CAC market value is currently $4900 which recognizes the 1877-S date rarity in full gem. An important offering that belongs in one of the finest Seated dime collections being assembled. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1880	MS66+	PCGS 25004984	F-102a	Gem	$2650	New September 28! Low Mintage Circulation Strike, Partially Mirrored, Gem Original. Ex. Evergreen and Sheffield Collections. Three die pairs were employed for the 1880 Philadelphia dime issue, only two of which were used for circulation strikes. The F-102 die pairing can be located as a proof strike followed by the F-102a circulation strike as is the case with this offering. Since the dies were reused, it is not uncommon to see partially mirrored fields for well preserved F-102a survivors. This example radiates mirrored reflectance that is not impeded by the orange-rose patination. Accurately graded with unquestionably originality. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (20013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	Seated	1880	MS64	PCGS 36155036		Choice	$900	New August 18! Reduced Price - Mintage of 36,000. Gorgeous Reverse. The mintage for 1879-1881 Philadelphia dimes were a small fraction from the high mintage 1872-1878 issues. This coin is original and nicely struck. The coin is clean for an MS64. Both sides have slate grey toning with the obverse having darker toning surrounding the date and United States of America. The reverse is lighter and would grade at least MS65 by itself.
	Seated	1881	PF64CAM	PCGS 64627138		Gem	$1500	New August 19! Gorgeous Color on Heavily Frosted Devices. Simply beautiful! The obverse is gorgeously toned in vibrant blue, magenta, and orange colors. A hairline or two on the right obverse field can be seen, but doesn't distract from the incredible eye appeal of this coin. The devices on the reverse appear to be a deep cameo. While not a super high grade, this looks better than many proofs graded much higher.
	Seated	1881	MS63	PCGS OGH 8094442		Choice	HOLD $1725	New September 29! OGH. Well Struck with Clean Surfaces. Just 24,000 were minted. Interestingly, there are only 28 CAC examples of this date in all grades compared to 98 for the 1879 dime where only 14,000 were minted. Well struck and brilliant white, there are some small marks on the obverse fields, but MS63 in this OGH holder is a bit conservative. The reverse is highly lustrous and would grade MS64 on its own. In a PCGS Gen. 3.1 (1993-1998) OGH holder.
	Seated	1883	MS66	PCGS 13498669		Choice	HOLD $1250	New September 10! Lustrous, Nicely Struck with Attractive Obverse Rim Toning. Ex. Evergreen Collection.

The 1886-S F-101 die pair is much more frequently encountered than the rare F-102. On the F-101 obverse, the date slopes down while the 8 digit is well centered under the pendant. Both the obverse and reverse dies are free of defects. This date is notably scarce in the lower Mint State grades with only 4 certified by PCGS at MS62 followed by 7 in MS63. The CAC population is surprisingly low with only 20 approved in all grades. Surfaces offer frosty luster and golden shades when examined under a bright light. The strike is crisp and completely executed, atypical for the With Legend hub design. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4697.

	Seated	1887-S	MS65	PCGS 21552355	F-108	Gem	$1250	New August 16! Gem Original. Ex. Evergreen and Gerry Fortin Collections. An impeccable strike is promptly noted with completely defined device elements on this brilliantly frosted specimen. The cartwheel action is intriguing while olive-green, orange-rose and hints of gold are quite attractive. Accurately graded given two micro-ticks in the right obverse field. The 1887-S issue is a slightly better date in lofty Mint State grades. F-108 with a high level date and weak base above the 887 digits. Worthy of an auction lot viewing effort as the luster is quite convincing. The overall CAC census reports 70 approved with twelve finer. Bowers & Merena June 2010 Baltimore Sale, Lot #1844. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4699.

F-122, the doubled die reverse, most notably apparent at the upper left leaf, but additionally evident in (O)NE and elsewhere.

	Gold G$5	1891 Liberty	MS64	PCGS 41436481		Choice	$3100	Rare Uncirculated, Superb Rose-Gold Coloring, Completed Strike, Near-Gem. GFRC Cost Basis! - 1891 Philadelphia $5 gold strikes were limited to 61,360 pieces in an era of massive silver coinage output. Most survivors are found with abrasions and/or light wear. At the MS64 level, this grade becomes rare and even more so with CAC approval. PCGS has not certified a single gem specimen, therefore MS64 and MS64+ graded examples are as good as it gets. GFRC is pleased to be offering one of the MS64 certified survivors that also has CAC approval. An infrequently seen rose-gold coloring is consistent on both sides. Bright light inspection is a joy given the brilliant frosted luster that explodes off the surfaces. Strike is 100% complete and rounds out the checklist for a designating this offering a near-gem.
