This 1838 Large Stars was among the numerous Gold CAC approved dimes within the Fortin Collection.

1838 Partial Drapery	MS64	PCGS 26210509	F-108a	Choice	$2950	New August 20! Colorful toning, clean surfaces. Ex. Evergreen. The term "Partial Drapery" as applied to 1838 Dimes is a mis-nomer since it was not until 1840 that drapery was added to the front of the dimes. What appears to be partial drapery is a clashmark from a portion of the E of DIME from the reverse. This coin features a purple blue obverse with dark orange around the shield. The reverse is darker gold with blue iridescence around the periphery. The reverse also has strong clashing which confirms the F-108a designation.

1842	MS66	PCGS 43190533	F-105	Gem	HOLD $6750	New August 21! Tied for Finest, Gem Original. Ex. Evergreen and Gerry Fortin Collections. "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.

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.
1842-O	AU53	NGC 390294002	F-101	Choice	$1250	Rose-Blue Toning, Fully Struck, Challenging in AU Grades, Choice Surfaces, New Jersey Collection. 1842 New Orleans dime are well known for being poorly struck due to workmanship or lapped dies.

F-101, from the die pairing is most noted for full strikes from unpolished dies. This piece would be a CAC candidate if the grading was a bit more conservative, otherwise a fine representative for the date. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder.
1843	MS63	PCGS 11228809	F-101	Choice	$950	New August 15! Repunched 3, Gorgeous Rose-Gray Patina and Frosted Luster, Complete Strike. Ex. Evergreen Collection. A gorgeous 1843 F-101 example with old time natural toning and frosted luster. In hand inspection suggests a thick rose gray patina which is accurate. However, that patina is semi-transparent and partially melts away during bright light assessment. The result is a colorful rose display as enhanced by the background frosted luster. Cartwheels are moderate due to the thick patina. Most important is a complete strike with the repunching above the top of the 1 digit being visible with 10x. Strict original, fully choice, and then some. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
1844	MS61	PCGS 42472358	F-102	Choice	$5950	New August 22! Near Gem. Attractive Rim Toning Surrounds Original Lustrous Centers. Ex. Evergreen. The 1844 dime is the famous "Little Orphan Annie" that was given that moniker in the early 1930's by Frank Ross as an underappreciated date due to a meager mintage of 72,500. In reality, he was hoarding the date and using the name to further promote it. Well struck with lovely blue and magenta rim toning. It is going to be hard to find a more eye appealing example of this date. There are few marks on the coin. The centers have blazing original white luster. The reverse has a rectangular area of original white due to something rectangular sitting on this area for a long time. Miss Liberty shows some rub thus the MS61 grade.

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.

This is worthy of belonging in an advanced collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
1853 Hubbed Arrows & Date	MS65	NGC 3103683041	F-102	Gem	$1300	Orange-Rose Patina, Thick Frosted Luster, Gem Original, Sheffield Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - Thick frosted luster radiates from orange-rose toned surfaces on this 1853 Hubbed Arrows & Date F-102 dime. Both sides offer undisturbed surfaces and continuous luster during bright light inspection. This dime was struck by heavily eroded dies including two obverse die cracks that validate the die variety. A crack through the left end of the left arrow and secondly, a die crack through Liberty's head, are readily evident with 10x. I like this coin at the assigned grade and plan to move it into the web-book as an upgraded plate coin. Fairly priced for the overall quality. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.

1859	PR64	PCGS 50064684	F-102	Choice	$1365	Near Gem Original, Crusty Gray Patina, Active Mirrors, Fully Struck, Former Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. 2025 Black Friday Sale Offering - At GFRC, we like our Liberty Seated coinage, including proofs, to have 100% natural surfaces and crusty gray patina where possible. This is the case for this near gem 1859 proof strike. Sourced from a Heritage auction during November 2003 due to the atypical crusty obverse toning with incremental gray patina on the reverse. Under the toning are active mirrors. Strike is absolutely hammered. 1859 proofs were struck from two different obverse dies labeled as F-101 and F-102 in the "web-book". F-101 is the more common of the two proof dies while F-102 accounts for about one in five of the proof dimes seen. This F-102 obverse presents a medium level date while F-101 exhibits a upward sloping. This F-102 dime continues to be the proof plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Die Variety Collectors online reference.

1860	PR66CAM	PCGS 21231151	F-101	Gem	$3360	Cameo Designation, Gem Original, Evergreen State Collection.. 2025 Black Friday Sale Offering - 1860 brought the introduction of the Longacre-Paquet Liberty Seated dime redesign. This new obverse design (Type 1) lasted only through 1861 before being promptly replaced with a more robust design (Type 2) that was less "delicate" and subject to rapid wear. The 1860 proof obverse exhibits a group of horizontal die lines starting from the sixth stripe in the shield and moving right, under the scroll at LIBE(RTY), and ending at the fold in Liberty's gown line. This superb gem example presents an opportunity to study the delicate design features. Accurately designated as a cameo given the heavily frosted main devices that are surrounded by mirrored fields. The PCGS certification is accurate as surfaces are entirely unabraded and free off the faintest hairlines. Mirrors are sharp with faint amounts of whitish-gray toning at the date and on the upper obverse. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder.
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.

The PCGS price guide presents quotes $2000 as fair market value. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. PCGS #4622.

This example deserves special attention for its unquestionably original surfaces that exhibit lightly mirrored fields leading to ample reflectance under a bright light. Otherwise, the motifs are notably frosted. Making a third GFRC appearance after being sold into our long-term client's collection during April 2018. Accurately graded and newly housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025). Fairly priced for the rarity. PCGS #4647.

1872-S	MS62	PCGS 44543810	F-101	Original	HOLD $2950	New August 16! Rare in Mint State, Original. Ex. Evergreen and Massachusetts Collections. The 1872 San Francisco issue is a difficult date to locate in all circulated grades and rare in Mint State condition. Greer assigns an R7- rarity rating in Mint State per his guidebook. The PCGS population report notes 20 in all MInt State grade which surely contains regrades as that number is too high based on experience. Steely-frosted fields are evident on both sides with a grayish-blue coloration and embedded gold at the margins. The overall strike is complete and quite pleasing. Luster is the primary parameter setting the certified grade as the surfaces are essentially unabraded. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. PCGS #4658.
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.
1873 Arrows	MS62	PCGS 29103307	F-114	Choice	$625	New September 8! Well Struck wth Lustrous Surfaces. Ex. Evergreen Collection. This type coin is well struck with lustrous surfaces. There is one vertical scratch and luster grazes seen on the right obverse field to the right of Miss Liberty's knee. The reverse is beautiful and would easily grade at least MS64 on its own. There is a sizable die break on the bottom right of the reverse.
1873 Doubled Die Obverse	AU53	NGC 6635747001	TOP #60 F-103	Original	$6950	New August 11! Price Reduction - High Grade Doubled Die Obverse, Bold Shield Doubling, Light Gray, Peripheral Gold. From Europe comes a high grade 1873 Arrows F-103 Doubled Die Obverse dime for die variety specialist consideration. This NGC AU53 example is fresh to market, to my knowledge. The doubling on the upper right shield is dramatic with a second counter clockwise rotated hubbing. Few examples are known at such a high grade level where the doubling is readily prominent and easily enjoyed. This new specimen offers even light gray surfaces along with a band of peripheral gold on both sides. Surfaces are steely reflective when placed under a bright light. A complete strike is readily evident on the obverse, which is critical for this variety while the reverse is weakly impressed at the upper left wheat grains. The two finest known examples are the Garner specimen which GFRC recently sold for $18,500 and an white NGC MS61 example which I have lost track of. During April 2018, the third finest known example, from the Gerry Fortin Reference Collection, was sold at $7000. This piece graded PCGS AU55 without CAC approval. Freshly graded and housed in new large font NGC holder.

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.
1875	MS66	PCGS 80587788		Choice	$1100	New September 25! Pretty Rim Toning on Both Sides. Ex. Evergreen Collection.

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.
1875-CC Mintmark Above Bow	MS63	PCGS 37217075	TOP #66 F-109	Choice	$1300	New August 16! Cracked Obverse, Choice Original. Ex. Evergreen and Massachusetts Collections. This 1875-CC In Wreath F-109 dime brings another important opportunity for Seated Dime die variety specialists. The F-109 die pairing can be easily diagnosed via heavy radial die cracks through the date, legend and Liberty's head. On the reverse, a soft die scratch is visible in the upper left wreath, resembling a jalapeno chili pepper. There is a die defect above D(I)ME. This lot as the distinction of being the plate coin at The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference and ex. Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A choice example with granular mint frost layered on both sides. A rose center surrounded by olive peripheral toning graces the obverse while the reverse has a semi-transparent faint gold-aquamarine skin. Strike is completely executed other than the upper reverse wheat grains. Freshly reholdered and housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. PCGS #4673.
1875-S Mintmark Above	MS65+	PCGS 36646855		Choice	$2975	Blast White Gem. Ex. Hawk Farm Collection. Exceptional luster over very clean surfaces. Well struck too. Interesting die cracks throughout the bow on the reverse. Only 5 graded higher at PCGS.
1875-S Mintmark Below Bow	MS62	PCGS OGH 5266456	F-101	Original	$375	New August 17! Small S, Original Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Light Gold Patina, Fully Struck, Accurately Graded. Ex. Evergreen and Poston Collections. Given the huge mintage of 9 million for 1875-S Below and In Wreath strikes, many dies were badly overworking and eroded. Strike quality for this date notorious for weakness and die cracks. One of the few exceptions is the F-101 Below Wreath die pairing which comes well struck. This example is well struck throughout both sides. Surfaces are strictly original with plenty of mint frost. There are a few stray lines in the obverse fields that reduced the grade to MS62. Bright light viewing releases some serious luster, especially on the reverse. Overall a solid 1875-S dime if in the market for the date. Housed in PCGS old green holder.
1876	PF64	CACG 683040102		Choice	$925	Nice Mirrors. This near gem has excellent mirrors under bluish grey toning with rose highlights.

Surfaces are attractively smooth for the grade. Light traces of rub on the obverse is the reason for the rather conservative grade from CACG.

A wonderful gem 1877-CC Type 2 F-109 offering that has me excited as a die variety enthusiast to the point of calling a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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. 3.0 (1990-1993) OGH holder. The 1884-S dime with a mintage of 564,969 is a better date. This original well struck coin is extremely clean for the grade. It likely has fewer marks than MS64 examples. Some may say it is too original as the luster is muted on both sides beneath the toning thus the MS63 grade.

This is the third time that GFRC has the pleasure to offer this lovely 1886 Seated dime.

Bright light viewing exposes the luster and accentuates the colors. The overall strike is crisp with no signs of weakness. Same for blemishes as none were seen. If this dime has just a bit more flashy luster, then it would be a candidate for MS66 designation. In the current PCGS holder, it is accurately graded.
