Owner Comments:


1870 10 Standard Silver
Judd-857, Pollock-937
Rarity: High R7; PR63RB

Struck in copper with a reeded edge.

Obverse: Liberty wearing a cap with three large stars and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the bust. The motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is displayed in a banner beneath the bust

Reverse: The denomination 10 CENTS and the date 1870 are crowded inside a wreath of cotton and corn, with the inscription “STANDARD” above.

This is a glossy chocolate-brown and copper-orange example with razor-sharp detail. The surfaces are surprisingly free of distractions.

Provenance:
From The Collection of William Rau, Heritage 2018 April 25 - 29 CSNS US Coins Signature Auction - Chicago/ Lot #5031
