Losbeschreibung

<strong>Obv:</strong> Similar to the design that the Mint used for regular issue Liberty Seated dime coinage in 1869, but without the date at the lower border. <strong>Rev:</strong> The inscription SIL. / NIC. / COP. in large letters, with the date 1869 below, in exergue, in a smaller font and slightly curved. Pewter gray surfaces are lightly struck and a bit subdued overall to explain the Proof-62 grade from PCGS. Although this copper-nickel-silver alloy was described as "Kuolz's" alloy in the Chapman brother's 1881 Lefferts sale, the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website states, "Research by David Cassel believes that the alloy is actually that of Montchal Ruolz."
