Lot 2158		1861 Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded Proof 65. A lovely toned proof example of this date. The surfaces show ample blue toning over gunmetal gray, with gold intermixed. Fully impressed by the dies and without fault. Easily a gem, and a very pleasing coin. PCGS has graded 10 as such, with just 4 graded higher. An important offering from the original 1,000 minted, obviously few of which could approach the grade and eye appeal of this example. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250. From the Michael Riordan collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,840
Lot 2159		1868 Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded Proof 65 Premium Quality. Gorgeous toning on both sides, with deep blues at the rims, lighter gold and rose at the centers and gray tones in the fields. Rarely are these early proofs found in such pristine condition, and this one is truly stunning because of the toning. Clean fields and devices, as expected for a gem, and this one is certainly very high end for the grade. PCGS has graded 18 this high, but just 3 higher, all PR-66. Any true collector would be thrilled with this one. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250. From the Michael Riordan collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,610
Lot 2160		1869-S Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded MS-66 "Eliasberg" Premium quality. A frosty white gem that is sharply struck and superbly preserved. Note the height of the curls on Liberty's head and the fullness of her gown. The only weakness we noted is found on the lower right side of the obverse, on her foot and the surrounding area. We note a tiny die speck on her upper right arm, and the Mintmark is filled as always seen. PCGS has graded just 3 as such, with a single coin graded higher. If you want a blast white gem, then bid accordingly. Apparently this coin was nearly lost back in 1906, it was purchased by J. M. Clapp from San Francisco dealer A. Reimers in March of 1906, and the Great San Francisco Earthquake rolled through in April of 1906, destroying most of the city, but luckily for us today the coin had already been sent to Mr. Clapp. Later, Clapp sold his coins to Louis Eliasberg, Sr. in 1942. Estimated Value $5,000-UP. Ex; A. Reimers March 1906 to J. M. Clapp, Clapp estate to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., 1942, Bowers and Merena Eliasberg Sale, May 1996 and the Michael Riordan collection.

Naturally, as expected for "67", the surfaces are pristine, with no signs of handling aside from microscopic traces. Fully struck and superbly preserved in every way. PCGS has graded only 4 this high, with 2 graded higher of the date. Estimated Value $12,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $13,800
Lot 2162		1876 Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded Proof 65 Premium Quality. A frosty white gem proof that boasts well mirrored fields and deeply frosted devices. Curiously there is a faint die crack on the reverse on the upper right side, which wanders in from the edge through the outer leaves and back out the edge. PCGS has graded 11 this high, with just 6 higher, all PR-66. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,300. From the Michael Riordan collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,553

Lot 2164		1876-CC Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-67. Struck by very rusted dies on both sides, the surfaces are clean and fresh with abundant luster and only a trace of gold toning. Amongst the very finest known of this date, with NGC reporting only 3 graded this high, and none higher, similar at PCGS with 2 this high and none higher.

Truly a beautiful coin and it shows just traces of contact with others. NGC has graded only 2 this high, with 1 graded higher. Estimated Value $750 - 950. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,380
Lot 2167		1880 Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded MS-65. A piddling mintage of 36,000 still managed to produce enough that some gems were saved, and here is a lovely example.

Lot 2178		1909 Barber Dime. ICG graded Proof 67 Cameo. Nearly perfect surfaces on this coin, which are easily examined as there is no sign of toning on either side.

Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

Lot 2180		1911 Barber Dime. PCGS graded Proof 65. Bright and untoned, with strong frost on the devices and very clean fields.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,150
Lot 2181		1912 Barber Dime. NGC graded Proof 65. Blazing white in color and with excellent surfaces throughout.
