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.
1837 Small Date	AU58	PCGS 30018107		Choice	$1500	New July 2! Slate Grey Surfaces; Nice Strike. Ex. Hawk Farm Collection. The No Stars design on this first year issue is not only a unique type but it is considered by many to be the most attractive Liberty Seated design. This well struck coin showcases the unique type with its wide rims and problem free grey surfaces. An excellent type coin.
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.
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.
1840 No Drapery	MS64	PCGS 3860000	F-108	Choice	$2500	New August 17! Satiny Radiance, Near-Gem Original. Ex. Evergreen and Massachusetts Collections. Over the years of researching the Seated dime series, it has been noted that the 1840 Philadelphia dies were weakly hubbed as a rule as compared to the prior two years with the F-108 obverse being in noticeable low relief. I'm quite impressed with this near-gem Mint State example for several reasons. The soft satiny radiance is readily evident along with vibrant cartwheels under the office lamp. Superior to the Liberty Seated dime web-book plate coin in detail and overall presentation. The date brings a lower CAC census at 58 in all grades with 12 finer. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4573.
1840	MS63	PCGS 21861239	F-102	Gem	$3950	Well Struck with Vibrant Blue and Deeper Magenta Toning. Previously sold by GFRC in April 2024 as part of the Gerry Fortin Reference Collection and can be looked up in the archives. This is the only Gold CAC 1840 No Drapery dime in any grade. Both sides of this well struck coin are toned vibrant blue with deeper magenta toning. There are a few marks on the fields on both sides that are well hidden beneath the attractive toning. In a PCGS Gen 4.2 (2004-2005) holder with NASDAQ:CLCT on two lines.
1840 No Drapery	AU55	PCGS 54100761	F-103	Gem	$750	New July 2! 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.
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.
1841	MS62	PCGS 1435322	F-110a	Gem	$1895	Well Struck with Dual Sided Toning. Previously sold by GFRC in April 2024 as part of the Gerry Fortin Reference Collection and can be looked up in the archives. This Gold CAC coin is fully toned on both sides. The stars and date are surrounded by yellow and orange toning with the rest of the obverse toned blue and magenta. The reverse is mostly blue with a magenta center. There is one scratch from Miss Liberty's left facing arm towards her stomach area. Without this mark, this coin would grade substantially higher. In a PCGS Gen 4.2 (2004-2005) holder with NASDAQ: CLCT on two lines.
1842	MS65+	PCGS 42075540		Choice	$4500	New July 2! Near Gem. Sole PCGS MS65+. Strict Originaltiy. Ex. Hawk Farm Collection. This is the only PCGS MS65+ coin with just six coins graded higher. Strictly original, this coin is well struck with good surfaces. The obverse is original grey and mark free. The reverse is easily gem quality with attractive light blue and magenta color in the centers with yellow orange toning towards the rims.
1842	MS66	PCGS 43190533	F-105	Gem	$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. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4581.
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.
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. The early New Orleans mint years saw aggressive die maintenance on the smaller demonization dies. Just arrived from the New Jersey Collection is a choice original 1842-O F dime with naturally toned surfaces with are also essentially unabraded. This deep South survivor has been well preserved. 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.
1847	MS62	PCGS 60189018	F-101	Choice	HOLD $3600	New August 17! Underrated Date at Grade, Choice Original. Ex. Evergreen and Massachusetts Collections. Securing an 1847 Seated dime at the Mint State level requires patience and diligent searching given the low survival rate. Thick, steely-frosted luster compliments the grade rarity for this CAC approved example. The strike is essentially complete with just a touch of weakness at the upper left reverse wreath leaves. F-103, with the top of a misplaced 7 digit to the lower left of the final 7 date punch. Though the CAC census is reported as 35 approved, this date is limited to six total in Mint State with three finer at the MS63 level. One of those, from the Fortin Collection, recently sold for $8765 during its January 2025 auction sale. The CAC $2500 price guide value is understated. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4589.
1849	MS65	NGC 3019023001	F-101	Gem	$3400	New August 15! Gem Original, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Light Rose Patina, Hammered Strike, One of the Finest Extant. Ex. Evergreen, Sheffield, Bender and Massachusetts Collections, this magnificent 1849 Seated dime is a rarity in Gem Mint State. Released from the Bender Collection, when Tom was still actively upgrading his Liberty Seated Dime set via GFRC and other sources. This eye appealing NGC graded MS65 specimen offers vibrant cartwheel luster emanating from thick frosted surfaces. Strike is deeply impressed with high relief obverse and reverse devices.

GFRC is thrilled to be offering a Mint State 1849-O F-103 example at the elusive Mint State grade level. This specimen features partially mirrored fields on both sides. Under a bright light, the mirrored fields and accompanying reflectance are quite pleasing. Given the high grade, this piece offers die variety collectors with a unique opportunity to study die conditions including extensive rust pitting throughout the center motif along with die polish line on the lower right reverse. The die spurs on RI in AMERICA are bold and pronounced. Enhanced gold and lavender toning is noted on the lower reverse and into the center. The reverse is rotated 20+ degrees counter clockwise consistent with the Liberty Seated Dime web-book listing. This offering is a once in a decade opportunity for those who are passionate about their Seated dime die varieties. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
1851	MS63	PCGS 28243180	F-105	Choice	HOLD $895	New August 15! Repunched Date, Bold Strike, Choice Original. Ex. Evergreen and Indiana Collections. 1851 Philadelphia struck dimes are known for the occurrence of multiple repunched with the F-105 being the easiest to cherrypick. This variety warranted a listing in the Top 100 Varieties Set as prepared an published by Fortin during 2004. This is a Mint State example that should be quite compelling for die variety specialists. Under a bright light, steely surfaces a lightly reflective. Olive-gray patina is consistent on both sides with incremental rose hues on the reverse. The obverse strike is excellent for the date. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder.

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.
1853 With Arrows	MS65	PCGS 39360446	F-117	Gem	$1800	New August 18! With Arrows Type, Gem Original. Ex. Evergreen and Massachusetts Collections.

1856 Small Date	MS66	NGC 6815787008	F-113	Gem	$3600	Gem Original, City by The Bay Collection..

The NGC price guide value is $5,625 in MS66, not inexpensive, but a fair value for an attractively toned example near the top of the grading pyramid. Housed in a new large font NGC holder. PCGS #4609.
1856 Small Date	MS63	PCGS OGH 2601385	F-111	Gem	HOLD $795	New August 19! Double Die Obverse, Gem Original, Hammered Strike, Conservative Grading.. Ex. Evergreen. Lets start the description for this gem 1856 Small Date dime with a strong recommendation. Why? Most collectors don't understand that the 1856 date, though common, is notorious for weak and uneven strikes. Fully struck mint state examples that are not blast white or creamy white are rare! Enter into the equation this gem example that is housed in early PCGS old green holder. The strike is absolutely hammered throughout obverse and reverse without any signs of weakness. Every star, every vein in each wreath leaf and Liberty's head are deeply impressed and crisp. It is such a joy to inspect this piece with a 10x loupe. Surfaces are strictly original with golden-rose patina. The fields do have a few scattered ticks but far from distracting. This is also the F-111 double die obverse variety with bold diagnostics throughout the shield, scroll and lower gown lines.

This Evergreen/Massachusetts example was sourced from Gerry's personal collection with a purchase history dating back to September 4, 1991 Stacks sale as Lot 231 where it was described as a raw Choice BU. Strike is absolutely hammered with deeply impressed devices throughout the obverse and reverse. Under a bright light, the fields are steely frosted with unabraded surfaces and wire rims. Though graded AU58 by PCGS, Gerry still maintains that this is an uncirculated dime employed as the F-101 plate coin for Liberty Seated Dime online die variety reference. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. PCGS #4610.

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.
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. Previously sold to a client who has decided to liquidate his Seated dime proof set, therefore resulting to the price list. This is an atypical proof example for fans of crusty originality. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2003) holder.

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.
1860	MS64	PCGS 3606412	F-101a	Gem	$975	New August 16! Ex. Evergreen and Gerry Fortin Reference Collections. Business Strike from Proof Dies, Steely Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels and Eye Appealing. Ex. Evergreen and Sheffield Collections. The gorgeous 1860 F-101a dime has fabulous steely frosted luster with mirror reflectance under angled lighting. This is to be expected as circulation strikes were produced from a proof die pair with the (a) die variety suffix being added for the circulation strike. The holder is also old and worn which further detracts the camera with plastic haze spots. Trust us that this piece is worthy of its gem quality rating. As a reminder, this is the F-101a plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.

The other two 1860 dated dimes struck in Philadelphia and New Orleans both have the new Legend Type 1 obverse. An unquestionably challenging date in AU, especially at the AU58 level given the PCGS population of only four pieces. This survivor presents soft frosted luster and silver-gray coloration. The strike is essentially complete other than the top of Liberty's head. F-101 with a medium downward sloping date and a DR-0R denticle ruler measurement. The PCGS price guide presents quotes $2000 as fair market value. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. PCGS #4622.

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.

1868	MS63	PCGS 24349343	F-112	Choice	$850	New August 15! Challenging in Mint State, Choice Original, Massachusetts Collection.. Ex. Evergreen and Massachusetts Collections. Few 1868 dimes have attained the Mint State grade, and when located, examples are typically struck from the F-112 die pairing with a weakly hubbed date and Liberty's head being partially impressed. The MS65 example, previously in Gerry's own Liberty Seated dime collection, also had a partial head. 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.

F-101, the only die pair for the issue, without the reverse strike doubling seen in later die states. This San Francisco date sports a mintage of 260,000 and typical of the late 1860s era. A reasonable number of survivors are known with the PCGS price guide listing 10 certified at the offered grade and only five finer. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. This Massachusetts Collection lot is new to GFRC with no past Sales Archive record. PCGS #4648.
1869-S	MS66	PCGS 37244653	F-102	Gem	HOLD $8800	New August 20! Near Finest Known, Gem Original. Ex. Evergreen and Massachusetts Collections. This is a duplicate, from the Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. A superb gem that features a natural skin that is on the "crusty" side. The underlying satiny luster is still able to radiate through the patina during bright light inspection. Surfaces are fully unabraded as is to be expected for a piece that is in the condition census. Strike is 100% complete though "delicate", which is typical for the die pairing. PCGS population is a scant five pieces with only one finer. No MS66 graded 1869-S dimes have been approved at CAC as an additional datapoint. This superb gem is also featured as the primary Coin Facts plate coin. An important lot that belongs in the most advanced collections under construction. The PCGS price guide value is $10,000 with the last MS66 auction record dating back to September 2014. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder. PCGS #4650.
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.

1871	PF66CAM	NGC 1782097016	F-101	Gem	$4350	Repunched 18 Proof Strike, Gem Original, Evergreen State Collection. Frosty devices contrast strongly with the watery fields, and this full Cameo piece is a headlight when viewed under a light source. Centers are icy and untoned, while a ring of russet patina rests at the obverse and reverse rims. F-101, with repunching easily evident in the 1. There are two proof die pairs for this year. NGC has certified 36 pieces total in Cameo Proof. Most collectors of Seated coinage tend toward circulated pieces, with the result that these flashy, reflective Proof examples are somewhat overlooked. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder.
1872 Misplaced Date	PR65	PCGS 45745479	F-109	Gem	$2070	Misplaced Date, Gem Original, Evergreen State Collection.. 2025 Black Friday Sale Offering - As a Top 100 listed variety, the 1872 F-109 die pairing features the base of a 2 digit erroneously placed into the base. Both proof and circulation strikes were struck with this pairing with proof strikes being more elusive. This GFRC-Gem rated proof example offers brilliant reflectance from copper-gold toned surfaces. The lettering sharpness and overall strike, though not as pronounced as issues from 1860s, is typical and well produced. Under a bright light, the presentation is undisturbed with sharp mirrors. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. The label documents the die variety attribution as F-109, MPD.
1872-S	MS62	PCGS 44543810	F-101	Original	$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 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.
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	New July 2! 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 Above Bow	MS63	PCGS 10766355	F-101	Choice	HOLD $650	New August 17! In Wreath, Shattered Reverse, Choice Original. Ex. Evergreen and Massachusetts Collections. This 1875-S In Wreath lot is notable for die variety specialists. The F-101 listing documents a die pairing with consistent full strikes and a shattered reverse. The reverse die is fatigued and is heavily cracked. The reverse die cracks first appeared during a prior die pairing and become progressive during the F-101 pairing, with degradation continuing and a large, retained cud appearing below the left and right ribbon ends. This choice, MInt State provides an important window into the die steel condition. Under a bright light, both sides are equally frosted with corresponding steely-frosted luster. Though not CAC stickered, this lot is well worth pursuing. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. PCGS #4677. PCGS 4677.
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+Cameo	NGC 4251078017		Gem	HOLD $846	Gem Original, 1876 Proof Set, Pre-Whitman Baltimore Offering. Consignor Price Reduction! - Flashy watery mirrors are quite pleasing under a bright light.

Eye appeal on steroids might be one approach for describing this superb gem 1876 dime with Type 1 reverse. The frosted luster is intensely brilliant and so pleasing with the aquamarine-gold coloring rounding out an offering with such excellent eye appeal. Strike is complete with fully defined head details, ribbon bow, and those pesky upper left wheat grains. During die variety attribution, it become quickly apparent that the date position DR-1R is a new obverse with date punch furthest to the right. This piece will be listed as Type 1 F-122 as part of the GFRC price list posting process. The reverse die is heavily clashed with parallel die lines through the wreath immediately right of the denomination. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval.
1876-CC	MS61	CACG 94072028	F-129	Choice	$800	New July 27! 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.
1877-CC Type 2 Reverse	MS65	PCGS 37313495	F-109	Gem	$3150	New August 17! Multi Repunched 77, Rich Mint Frost, Gem Original. 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. Under a bright light, the luster is thick and frosty with completely undisturbed viewing. The strike is hammered with high relief motifs on both sides and no traces of weakness within the upper reverse wheat grains or the bow knot. The F-109 die pairing features a multiple repunched date on both 77 digits with the repunching artifacts being easily seen at different elevations off the digits. The gem example is ideal for the representation of this super cool variety. If a serious die variety collector, this piece needs to be added to your collection for years of study and enjoyment. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
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.

The reverse is equally attractive with blended aquamarine and yellow-gold hues amplified by brilliant mirrors. Pristine surfaces are noted during a careful 10x inspection. The strike is complete from a Type 2 reverse as no proof are known to be struck with the earlier Type 1 reverse design. The wire rims are thin and razor-sharp. The PCGS population report indicates that 9 have been certified at this lofty grade with none finer. With respect to Cameo designated examples, there are 4 at the PR66 grade level and a single PR66+. A nearly unimprovable example with a fair reserve. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder.
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.
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.

1884-S	MS63	PCGS OGH 1392622	F-104	Choice	$1250	OGH.Ex. Gerry Fortin. Plate Coin for F-104 Variety. Nice Originality on this Well Struck Example. Ex. Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. 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.
1885	MS65	PCGS 21542895	F-107	Gem	$725	New August 20! Gem Original, Bold Frosty Luster, Eye Appeal, Massachusetts Collection.. Ex. Evergreen. What a pleasing With Legend Liberty Seated dime!

1886	MS65	PCGS 3756017	F-115	Gem	$750	New August 20! Gem Original, Lustrous Pastel Toning, Fully Struck. Ex. Evergreen and Birmingham Collections. This is the third time that GFRC has the pleasure to offer this lovely 1886 Seated dime. Pastel toning is the highlight with intermixed aquamarine, gold and rose coloring on the obverse and mottled gray, ebony and rose on the reverse. 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. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert; serial number 3756017.

Rotating cartwheels dance over the fields of this attractively toned San Francisco piece. Blue patina at the rims frames mixed shades of russet and maroon, and the eye appeal is compelling. F-101, with the top of S(TATES) weak and a die line within the mintmark. The 1 in the date tilts slightly to the left. The CAC census report 10 coins in MS65 and nine examples higher. In-hand comparison with other pieces in the Newtown consignment suggests this piece is undegraded, and the CAC and PCGS Plus designations are fully warranted. The PCGS price guide in MS65+ is $1,200, going up to $1,800 in MS66. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval.

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.

The F-101 die pairing struck both circulation and proof strikes with the proofs coming after circulation strikes. What is amazing with this die pairing is a reverse die crack that developed from the right ribbon end downward to the denticles below the left ribbon end. Interestingly, an attempt was made to tool out the die crack on the reverse die prior to or during the striking of proof coinage. By using a side lighting source during the photography of the die crack for web-book illustration, the tooled area becomes evident.
