Description

1870 Ten Cents, Judd-834, Pollock-924, R.6-7, PR 65 Red and Brown PCGS. The obverse is identical to the patterns just offered, with a seated figure of Liberty facing left, supporting a shield in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, all in front of a free-standing liberty pole. Regular dies reverse, and struck from the same reverse die as are all the other regular reverse patterns, 1864-1874, in this sale. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Bright coppery-red surfaces show flashes of rose iridescence about the obverse border, while colorful green and rose hues are interspersed on the reverse.
From the Gene Wolfe Collection of Pattern Coinage.
