Losbeschreibung

33.02 grains. 75% copper, 25% nickel. <strong>Obv:</strong> The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue Liberty Seated dimes of the Legend Obverse design type, although with no date in exergue below Liberty's portrait. <strong>Rev: </strong>Peripheral legend POSTAGE CURRENCY / ACT JULY 1862 surrounds the denomination and date at center 10 / CENTS / 1863. <p>The <em>uspatterns.com</em> website confirms that only five examples of this die pairing are known, all of which show a faint diagonal obverse die scratch (as made) through the field and foot of Liberty to one degree or another. This is the Eliasberg-Cassel specimen, identifiable by a few tiny, faint carbon spots on the obverse at and below the base of the rock behind Liberty's foot. Otherwise light silver gray surfaces are sharply struck with faintly reflective fields.
