Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1477		1838-O Liberty Seated Dime. No stars. PCGS graded AU-58. Lovely greyish-violet. Slightly irridescent toning. First year at the New Orleans mint and a low mintage issue combine to make this a very popular dated seated Liberty dime. It helps even more that the surface is outstanding, original, and gives aesthetic appeal to the sharp design features (PCGS # 4564) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,750. The Greenhill Collection.

Lot 1479		1858 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded Proof 64. Needle sharp with excellent contrast, this exceptional Proof has outstanding detail worth hours of study and enjoyment with a loupe. Lightly toned. 300+ proofs minted. Pop 19; 25 finer. Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1480		1865 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded Proof 64. Rainbow toning on both sides. A well struck piece from the Civil War period, and scarce with only 500 Proofs minted. Pop 38; 25 finer. Estimated Value $650 - 700. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,035
Lot 1481		1867 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-67. Delicate rainbow hues on both sides. The satin-like luster is almost unimpaired by abrasions of any size, and is therefore immaculate. The equally superb devices were struck with the primary energy required to impart the design to the outer areas as well as enough vigor by the dies to impart clear-cut centers. This is a not well-known trait of seated Liberty dimes in Mint condition. 625 proofs minted. Pop 3; 1 finer in 68. Estimated Value $3,200 - 3,400. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,945
Lot 1482		1870-S Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded MS-64. Lightly toned. Semi prooflike. 50,000 coins minted. A lovely example of this very scarce S-mint date, there are no obvious bagmarks on either side and the color is fresh, natural, medium golden brown to "old school" gray. About as fully struck as these are normally found, with just terrific detail in the head and shield of Liberty (two areas were problems can occur). With so few pieces struck, most of the mintage was dropped into circulation and only a tiny percentage was set aside in high grades. Pop 5; 10 finer; 8 in 65; 2 in 66. (PCGS # 4652) . Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,600

Lot 1489		1884 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-68 Star. A superb pristine gem. A perfect totally white coin. With an original mintage of 3.3 million pieces, it is little wonder that the 1884 is popular among type collectors. Only the most advanced type collectors, however, will have the opportunity to acquire an MS68 representative. We have never handled a similarly graded 1884 Seated Dime. Both sides ripple with thick, frosty mint luster. There is not even a single mentionable surface blemish, and the outward appearance is one of radiant brilliance. Thin glowing silvery hue serves to amplify the already bold devices. This is tied with two others for the finest examples known to NGC, and it is matched by a toned MS68 representative at PCGS. NGC #17755760-001. Pop 3; none finer. Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $8,165

Lot 1492		1886 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-66. Lovely blending of turquoise and golden toning on both sides. Shimmering mint brilliance is seen under each surface of this fully toned Gem.

The devices were struck with determined force by the dies, insuring that all design elements show boldly. Estimated Value $700 - 800. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $891
Lot 1493		1887 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded Proof 67. A multi-color gem featuring greens, blues and reds on both sides. The pristine surface reciprocates between levels of frost and satin-texture.
