Struck in copper with a plain edge.

Obverse: A bust of Liberty faces right wearing a diadem with the hair tied in a bun. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the bust with IN GOD WE TRUST on a ribbon below.
Reverse: has 10 CENTS in the center, surrounded by a thick wreath of oak and laurel. "STANDARD SILVER" is across the upper reverse border, and the date (1869) is below and outside the wreath at the boarder

Comment:
The surfaces are pristine-even when using a strong glass. Both sides have an even original rich chocolate color. Miss Liberty and every detail are so needle sharp they look sculpted. The eye appeal is very strong.

Current estimates suggest that about 10 to 12 examples of this pattern variety are known

Provenance/appearances:
Bob Simpson: The Regency Auction XXI May 2017 Lot 5, Possibly 2003 Bowers & Merena Lot 4661
