Choice Proof 1877 Judd-1498 Sailor Head Dime
1877 10C Sailor Head Ten Cents, Judd-1498, Pollock-1651, Low R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. The obverse portrait, designed by William Barber, is similar to the "Sailor Head" design made famous two years earlier, but with smaller lettering on the coronet and lacking the so-called sailor collar. The reverse uses the regular issue dies. This is a fantasy pattern as there was no other reason for its existence than to create a coin for collectors. The coin is technically illegal in that UNITED STATES OF AMERICA does not appear on either side. Struck in copper with a reeded edge, and encapsulated in a prior generation green label PCGS holder. This needle-sharp specimen has vivid orange, ruby-red, aquamarine, and electric-blue hues. A noteworthy example of this desirable pattern issue.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2ADM, PCGS# 61833, Greysheet# 14691)
