Lot Description

1869 Pattern Dime. Judd-712, Pollock-791. Rarity-7+. Aluminum. Reeded Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). OGH--First Generation. Obv: loosely coiffed head of Liberty right, plain ribbon in her hair, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around, IN GOD WE TRUST on a banner below. Rev: central laurel and oak wreath, 10 / CENTS within on two lines, STANDARD SILVER arcs around, date below. The boldly lustrous silver-gray surfaces exhibit a modest cameo contrast between the devices and the fields. <em><strong>One of just two examples of Judd-712 certified by PCGS,</strong></em> both of those Proof-64. The <em>uspatterns.com </em>website notes this is: "The Standard Silver design. These were sold in sets with the other designs and denominations for $15." The site also notes that fewer than six example&nbsp;of Judd-712 are currently known. A rare pattern that&nbsp;should draw the&nbsp;attention of more than one specialist.
