Lot Description

1871 Pattern Dime. Judd-1085, Pollock-1221. Rarity-6+. Proof-64 BN (PCGS). The Longacre Indian princess design on the obverse features Liberty seated with her left hand resting on a globe. Her right hand holds a pole with a cap on the top, and conjoined flags behind. The reverse is from the regular issue Seated dime dies. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Mahogany-brown surfaces with azure-blue accents on the highpoints of the design. The blue color is more pronounced as the coin is rotated under a light. Especially attractive for the conservative assigned grade.
