Owner Comments:
1864 10C Ten Cents
Judd-381, Pollock-449
Rarity: Low R.7, PR64 RB CAC Endorsed
Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
Obverse/Reverse: Regular dies of 1864 but struck in copper
Comment: USPatterns.com points out that these deliberately struck off-metal pieces were sold as part of sets that included the quarter, half, and dollar with the motto on the reverse.
Outstanding mirrors beam vividly from all over. The mirrors display bold clarity, cleanliness, and are highly reflective. When you twirl the coin, the mirrors look like a freshly made sheet of glass. Both sides enjoy a gorgeous totally original mix of lots of GEM Mint Red, splashes of olive/pale brown colors. There are NO spots. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and display light frost.
