Description
1863 Postage Currency Ten Cents Pattern
PR65 Red and Brown
Judd-326, Pure Copper Striking
Only Two Examples Privately Owned
1863 10C Ten Cents, Judd-326, Pollock-395, Cassel-13, R.8, PR65
Red and Brown NGC. 36.0 grains. This is the standard Postage
Currency design. The Judd-326 is struck in pure copper and has a
reeded edge. Previously believed to be struck in billon (copper and
silver). Only three other examples are known of this pattern. The
others are in the Byron Reed Collection in Omaha, Connecticut State
Library, and the 35-grain Bass Collection (offered by us in our
August 2014 ANA sale). These pieces have tested as either pure
copper (in the case of this piece) or nearly pure copper with
negligible amounts of iron and lead (in the case of the Byron Reed
piece). It appears only two heavy (35-36-grain) pieces are known.
S&N Labs tested this piece in 1997 (while it was still in a
PCGS holder) and its certificate number 04646243 stated it was 100%
copper. This may well be the only pure copper example known in this
heavier weight subset for the Judd-326. The fields are bright and
shine forcefully through the blue-yellow patina that is intermixed
with original red.Ex: Quality Sales (6/1970), lot 1285; Isadore Herman Collection (Lester Merkin, 9/1974), lot 221; Milton Friedberg Collection (C.A.A., 1/1997), lot 1123.
