(1859) Uniface Obverse Dime Die Trial
J-A1859-1 in Copper, MS65 Red and Brown
(1859) DT10C Ten Cent Die Trial, Judd-A1859-1, Pollock-3206,
Unique, MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. A obverse
die trial featuring the right-facing "French Head" often attributed
to James B. Longacre, though Saul Teichman believes Anthony Paquet
may very well be responsible for its design. Struck in copper
without a collar, slightly off-center, and uniface. As far as we
know, this pattern's first public appearance was in 1951, where it
was noted: "Evidently, from the size of the impression, this strike
was made to test the basic appearance of a pattern dime." Abe
Kosoff described this piece as an "Incomplete obverse for the half
dime" in the 1958 ANA Convention sale. Pollock classifies it as a
dime, while the 10th edition of the Judd reference hedges, calling
it a half dime or dime. It is believed to be unique and represents
the only tangible evidence that this design was ever considered for
one of the smaller silver denominations, though we know it was used
on a number of 1859 half dollar patterns (Judd-237 to
Judd-246).Each side of this Gem features copper-orange and reddish-brown color. The central obverse exhibits a bold portrait and circular lathe lines, while the reverse is completely smooth. The Judd plate coin.
