Description

1863 Judd-325 Pattern Ten Cents, PR64
Postage Currency Design

1863 10C Ten Cents, Judd-325, Pollock-390, Low R.6, PR64 NGC. The obverse design features the heraldic shield with arrows, inside an inverted laurel wreath, with the inscription EXCHANGED FOR U.S. NOTES around. The reverse shows the denomination 10 CENTS in two lines above the date, with the inscriptions POSTAGE CURRENCY above, and ACT JULY 1862 below. Struck in standard silver alloy, with a plain edge. However, in United States Pattern Postage Currency Coins, David Cassel tested examples of this issue and consistently found that the coins tested failed to match the standard 90% silver, 10% copper composition. The composition varied from 88% silver, 12% copper to 96.1% silver, 3.9% copper. The reflective surfaces are suffused with iridescent gold and lavender toning. A few scattered handling marks are consistent with the grade.
