1870 Standard Silver Dime in Silver
Judd-826, PR65 Cameo

1870 10C Standard Silver Ten Cents, Judd-826, Pollock-916, High R.6, PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. William Barber's Seated Liberty design. A seated representation of Liberty faces left. Behind is a free-standing pole topped with a Liberty cap. Liberty's right hand rests upon a shield with a scroll inscribed LIBERTY. The statutory legend follows the border, and the date is below. The reverse has the denomination, 10 CENTS, inside a wreath composed of corn and cotton. Above is the word STANDARD. The reverse rim is much wider than the obverse rim. Struck in silver with a plain edge. This obverse / reverse design combination was struck in silver, copper, and aluminum. Fewer than a dozen pieces are known in silver with a plain edge. This otherwise brilliant example displays light golden toning around the margins, and the thickly frosted devices contrast noticeably against the deeply mirrored fields.
