Losbeschreibung

<strong>Obv:</strong> The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue Liberty Seated dimes, although with no date in exergue below Liberty's portrait. <strong>Rev:</strong> A six-pointed star, the denomination ONE DIME and the date 1868 are enclosed by a wreath of cereals. Lovely light golden-gray surfaces are bright, fully struck and free of even the most trivial detractions. One example of this rare pattern was tested and found to have a metallic content of 24% nickel and 76% copper. The Mint was experimenting quite a bit during this era. What is known is that this is a truly rare issue that is seldom offered or seen.
