Owner Comments:
1862 $10 Ten Dollar
Judd-298 Bronzed, Pollock-357 (Low Date Varity)
Rarity: High R.6, PR65+ BN CAC endorsed
Ex: Simpson
Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
Obverse: The Liberty head type used to coin the regualr 1862 Half eagle
Reverse: Similar to the regualar issue type however the motto GOD OUR TRUST appears in plain letters over the eagle.
Comment:
The reverse die is rotated about 30 degrees clockwise. This is the slightly more available Low Date variety (Pollock-357) with the 2 closer to the dentils than to the truncation of Liberty’s bust. About a dozen pieces are thought to exist. The bronzed surfaces are deep mahogany-brown with the faintest steel accents. Strike definition is absolutely razor-sharp.
