Description

1863 10C Ten Cents, Judd-330, Pollock-399, Low R.6, PR65 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Standard Postage Currency obverse and reverse designs. Struck in tin (mostly) with a plain edge. According to Saul Teichman of USPatterns.com: "15 pieces were reported struck on May 27, 1863, supposedly in 97% block (impure) tin, alloyed with 3% copper. No tested pieces have matched this composition." However, any example made up of primarily tin is designated as Judd-330. This Gem is bright and lustrous with moderately reflective, lightly striated fields. A bit of dusky gold color is present on each side.
