1879 Morgan Ten Cent in Silver
Originally Toned, Judd-1586, PR66

1879 10C Morgan Ten Cents, Judd-1586, Pollock-1779, High R.6, PR66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection. The "Morgan dime" design, with a head of Liberty similar to that on the Morgan dollar. The legend rings the rim, with the date 1879 below. On the reverse, ONE DIME, is enclosed, first by E PLURIBUS UNUM and 13 stars, then by a circle of beads, finally by a wreath of corn, cotton, tobacco, and wheat. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This design exists both in silver and in copper. USPatterns.com reports about 12 to 15 examples extant in each metal. Original multicolor toning drapes each side in gorgeous shades of blue, violet, rose, and gold. Fully struck and remarkably attractive and well-preserved.
Ex: Purchased from Lee F. Hewitt (4/17/1972).
From The Harry W. Bass, Jr. Core Collection, Part II.
