Description
1868 Postage Currency Ten Cents
Struck in Nickel
Judd-644, PR66
1868 10C Ten Cents, Judd-644, Pollock-716, Cassel-18, Low R.7,
PR66 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. A Postage Currency related pattern,
dated 1868. The obverse has a central shield with diagonal arrows
behind, EXCHANGED FOR above and U.S. NOTES below. The reverse is a
variant of the adopted design with the central wreath surrounding
ONE DIME, a six-pointed star above and the date below. Struck in
nickel with a reeded edge. This series of patterns have less
advanced die cracks than their 1863 counterparts. The particular
charm of these coins lies in the date, as explained by David
Cassel:" ... these coins dated 1868 ... were produced in May 1863 before most of the Dies 1-A coins as piéces de caprice for collectors. The several I have seen do not appear to be restrikes but appear to be Mint date logo punch errors. I am not aware of any patterns that were struck five years in anticipation of the expectation of a need."
This is a brightly mirrored piece that shows only slight golden toning on each side.
