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.

A few vertical lines are seen on the left obverse field below star 5. The PCGS Pop shows 10 at this grade with 5 graded higher.

39322807 		O-101a
 Choice $7950 New August 21! Patched 3, Exceptional Eye Appeal, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Very Scarce CAC Approved. 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.

 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.

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.

 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.

 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.

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.

$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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
