1863 10C Ten Cents, Judd-326, Pollock-395, R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. The obverse bears a central shield with intersecting arrows behind and a ring atop, from which depends an inverted laurel wreath framing the shield left and right. EXCHANGED FOR / U.S. NOTES occupies the periphery. The reverse shows two rosettes separating POSTAGE CURRENCY and ACT JULY 1862, with 10 CENTS 1863 on three lines in the center. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Medal die alignment. The number of surviving pieces in copper with a reeded edge has not been precisely nailed down. Five are confirmed, but USPatterns.com lists as many as seven possibly extant. This piece is a new addition to the roster, not previously documented at auction. Copper-green and russet obverse toning contrasts with red-violet on the reverse, while both sides turn chestnut-brown when tiled away from a light. A few carbon specks on the obverse serve as pedigree markers.
