- 1871 Pattern Dime. Judd-1081, Pollock-1217. Rarity-7-. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 RD (NGC). Obv: Longacre's Liberty as Indian Princess seated left on a globe, ribbon on globe reads LIBERTY in <em>raised </em>letters, furled flags behind, liberty pole with cap in right hand, 13 stars around, date below. Rev: "cereal" wreath with STANDARD above in tiny letters, 10 / CENTS within. The deep orange-red surfaces of this attractive Gem pattern exhibit boldly varied shades of red and orange in a bright light source. As noted at the <em>uspatterns.com </em>website, this is "the Longacre design with stars combined with the Standard Silver reverse of 1870. This was apparently implemented by William Barber as Longacre died in 1869 [January 1, 1869]." Around a dozen examples of Judd-1081 are thought to exist. <strong><em>Tied for finest RD Judd-1081 certified by NGC. </em></strong>
