Losbeschreibung

1869 Pattern Dime. Judd-702, Pollock-781. Rarity-5. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 (NGC). Head of Liberty right with unadorned tiara, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around, IN GOD WE TRUST on ribbon below, reverse with STANDARD SILVER above wreath, date below, 10 / CENTS within. A warmly toned piece awash in a blend of pale lavender and dove gray patina. Well mirrored finish, as best appreciated at more direct light angles, and free of distracting contact. Close inspection with a loupe reveals myriad die rust "pebbles" in the obverse field, an as struck feature that attests to the fact that the obverse die was extensively rusted at the time this coin was struck.
