Description
1874 Bickford Ten Dollar in Nickel
Judd-1377, PR64
Only Two or Three Known
1874 $10 Bickford Ten Dollar, Judd-1377, Pollock-1522, High R.7,
PR64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The obverse depicts a bust of
Liberty facing left with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above
and the date below. Liberty wears a diadem inscribed with the word
LIBERTY and ornamented with six stars. The weight 16.72 GRAMS, the
standard of the metal 900 FINE, and the word UBIQUE are centered on
the reverse. Around the periphery is the U.S. denomination DOLLARS
10 and the following international equivalents: STERLING (Pound)
2.1.1; MARKEN 41.99; KRONEN 37.31; GULDEN 20.73; and FRANCS 51.81.
Struck in nickel with a reeded edge.Only two or three of these Judd-1377 patterns are known, and all seem to show the same die crack at 5 o'clock on the obverse. That crack and central strike softness on the reverse are undoubtedly a result of the hardness of the nickel alloy. Moderately reflective surfaces exhibit light toning on the reverse. There are numerous tiny planchet flakes out of the obverse that aid in identification.
