Owner Comments:
1870 10C
Judd-840 Pollock-931
Rarity: High R.7 PR65RB
Ex: Denali
Struck in copper with a plain 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.
Comment: This sharply struck Gem is awashed in blended lavender-red and lime-green shades. Void of detraction and highly desirable for both its condition and extreme rarity.
