Lot Description

1868 Pattern Seated Liberty Dime. Judd-641, Pollock-713. Rarity-7-. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Nickel. Reeded edge. A rare dime pattern, here struck in nickel. Boldly frosted motifs and deeply mirrored fields exhibit pale golden toning. The <em>uspatterns.com </em>website suggests that perhaps a dozen or so examples of J-641 are known. Seated Liberty motif as on the issues of 1860-1891, reverse Cereal Wreath, six-pointed stars above denomination, date below. Choice for the grade, attractive to look at, and <strong>rare; </strong>a great numismatic combination.
