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.

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.

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.

New August 22! Brilliant Frosted Luster, Gem Original. Ex.

The CAC census is only 24 in all grades with nearly all approved being Mint State. This richly frosted and lustrous specimen originated from the Gerry Fortin Reference Collection, and as a duplicate, sold into the Massachusetts Collection during October 2021. An exceptional example as the pristine surfaces are covered with variegated deep rose and steel-blue toning that is somewhat lighter on the reverse. Strike is sharply defined with partial wire rims noted. GFRC images accurately capture the overall coloration but are unable to fully illustrate the bright light radiance and spinning cartwheels.

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.

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

An extraordinary gem in all regards as both sides are draped in warm frosted luster with rose-red and sea-green toning.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

New August 19! Date Furthest Right, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Extremely Pretty Aquamarine-Gold Coloring, A Superb Gem. 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.

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.

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.

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.

WB-2 Gem $14500 New August 13! Price Reduction - Condition Census, Superb Gem Original, Steely Reflectance, New Orleans Collection. The New Orleans Collection makes a splash with the release of one of the finest 47-O half dollars extant, with just a single MS65+ graded finer at PCGS. While the mintage of 2,584,000 was sizable for the era, Mint State survivors are unfrequently encountered with any Mint State example being an important rarity in MS64 or finer. Our WB-2 example excels under a bright light with steely reflective fields that are the epitome of undisturbed viewing. The luster is uniform on both sides and a further testament of the unquestionable originality. Though the GFRC images indicate darkly toned surfaces, bright light inspection is a completely different experience with light pastel rose and sky blues dominating the luster. Reverse presentation is similar with golden hues within the legend lettering. The strike is complete and the fields are pristine. This coin has all the hallmarks of a gem and is in the condition census. Advanced Liberty Seated half dollars collectors should take note as the PCGS price guide is $22,500 as reference. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder.

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.
