Judd-327, PR64
Postal Currency Pattern

1863 10C Ten Cents, Judd-327, Pollock-397, High R.6, PR64 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The obverse depicts a Union shield pierced by two arrows; a simple wreath rests above. The remainder of the design consists of token-like legends; EXCHANGED FOR U.S. NOTES on the obverse, POSTAL CURRENCY ACT JULY 1862 and 10 CENTS 1863 on the reverse. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. In 1863, Seated coinage was silver and widely hoarded. Judd-327 was a proposal to fill the void, though fractional currency was eventually issued instead. The well struck and lightly marked surfaces exhibit medium steel-gray toning with glimpses of charcoal patina. Population: 6 in 64, 5 finer (10/20).
