Description
1871 Indian Princess Ten Cent in Copper
Judd-1081, PR65 Red
1871 10C Standard Silver Ten Cents, Judd-1081, Pollock-1217,
R.7, PR65 Red NGC. The Longacre Indian Princess design is
surrounded by stars on the obverse, and paired with a reverse that
features 10 CENTS in the center, surrounded by a wreath of cotton
and corn, and the word STANDARD along the top border. Struck in
copper with a reeded edge. Only a half dozen or so pieces are known
of this obverse / reverse combination in copper. The only other
alternative are aluminum strikings, and only three of those are
believed known. This example presents one of the rarest pursuits in
pattern collecting: pieces that exist today with full red color.
Very few copper patterns remain today with their original mint
luster fully intact. Curiously, the NGC Census Report shows three
such pieces. Given the rarity of Red patterns we have to wonder if
that number actually represents the resubmission of this piece two
more times in hopes of attaining a higher grade. The red color is
even over each side and there are no mentionable contact marks and
little in the way of carbon flecking. A few die striations can be
seen to the right of the figure of Liberty.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2A3J, PCGS# 81340, Greysheet# 13946)
