1865 Motto Eagle in Copper
Judd-450, PR66 Brown

1865 $10 Motto Liberty Eagle, Judd-450, Pollock-522, High R.6, PR66 Brown PCGS. Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection. A transitional pattern that pairs an 1865 Liberty eagle obverse with the Motto reverse first issued for circulation in 1866. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This 1865-dated Motto pattern also exists in gold, with two known, while more than a dozen are reportedly known in copper. According to USPatterns.com, while it is possible they were struck in 1865, it is also possible they were manufactured during the early 1870s. Either way, this is a rare and spectacularly preserved with glossy deep brown surfaces that reveals natural multicolor tones when rotated.
