Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> Standard Silver design with a bust of Liberty facing right, a plain tiara on her head and her hair tied in a bun at the back. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the periphery and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is inscribed on a scroll below. <strong>Rev:</strong> A wreath of oak and laurel leaves surrounds the denomination 10 CENTS, the inscription STANDARD SILVER above and the date 1869 below. This richly original specimen exhibits iridescent antique gold and powder blue undertones to dominant olive-charcoal patina. A smooth and inviting Superb Gem with much to recommend it to the discerning collector. This is the plain edge counterpart to the Judd-702 examples offered above, and the same comment from the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website applies: "These were sold in sets with the other designs and denominations for $15."
