Losbeschreibung

<strong>Obv:</strong> Chief Engraver James Barton Longacre's Indian Princess motif with no stars around the border. Liberty is seated left wearing a Native American headdress, her left hand resting atop a globe inscribed LIBERTY and her right hand supporting a liberty pole. Two flags are behind the portrait, and the date 1871 is below. <strong>Rev:</strong> The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1871 Liberty Seated dimes. A deeply and richly toned specimen with hints of pinkish-rose and powder blue backlighting dominant charcoal-mauve patina. Direct lighting calls forth some semblance of a cameo finish, while full strike detail is readily appreciable at all viewing angles.<p>This type was deliberately made for sale to contemporary collectors as part of silver Proof sets featuring all denominations from the half dime through dollar. Fewer than half a dozen examples of Judd-1077 are believed extant, including this handsome Gem, which is incorrectly listed as NGC Proof-66 on the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website.
