1869 'Koulz's Alloy' Ten Cents in Copper
Judd-717, PR64 Red and Brown
1869 10C Ten Cents, Judd-717, Pollock-797, Cassel-46, R.7, PR64
Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. The "Koulz's Alloy" design that uses
the undated Postage Currency obverse (from 1863) with the "broken
S" in STATES, paired with the reverse that displays SIL. / NIC. /
COP. in the center, followed by a straight line, then the date, in
exergue. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. When we sold this
piece five years ago it was listed with a weight of 31.20 grains.
Similar to German silver, the composition's unsuitability for use
in coinage left the Mint with an experimental reverse die, but no
usable experimental alloy. Pieces were struck using the SIL. / COP.
/ NIC. reverse in silver, nickel, and copper. This piece displays
rich cherry-red color with faint traces of blue intermixed. The
fields show signs of heavy die polishing which give the piece its
brightly mirrored fields. The strike is sharp throughout with a few
small, grade-limiting specks of carbon present.Ex: David Golding Sale (Stack's, 6/1952), lot 16; ANA Auction (Stack's, 8/1971), lot 402; Brinton T. Schorer (5/3/1973); Harry W.
