US Patterns- WHAT U.S. COINAGE COULD HAVE BEEN
J-1075 Princess Seated Left Obv: No Stars, Rev: 10 Cents

Owner Comments:

1871 10C
Judd-1075, Pollock-1211
Rarity: Low R.7, PR63 Red

Struck in copper with a reeded edge

Obverse: Longacre's popular Seated Indian Princess motif seated on a globe inscribed with LIBERTY with conjoined flags behind and Liberty's hand resting on a globe and a cap on her extended pole. There are no STARS on this design. It is noted that Liberty is wearing a similar headdress as seen on three dollar gold pieces on these designs

Reverse: The reverse has 10 CENTS in the center and is surrounded by a wreath of cotton and corn, the word STANDARD at the top of that side.

Comment:
The reverse edge is much wider than the obverse. The color is phenomenal, bright cherry-red across each side. The coin's grade is explained by a few specks of carbon, mostly on the obverse.
