Owner Comments:


1862 $10 Ten Dollar
Judd-297, Pollock-355 (Low Date varity)
Rarity: High R.6, PR64 BN
Ex: Simpson.

Struck in copper with a reeded edge.

Obverse: The regular ten dollar dies for 1862.
Reverse: Similar to the regular dies design but with the addition of the motto GOD OUR TRUST on a scroll above the eagle.

Comment:
The low date, bulging bun Pollock subvariety. This is where the Date is Lower as the 2 is closer to the dentils than to the truncation of Liberty bust.
About a half dozen High Date examples are known in copper, compared to about a dozen Low Date pieces. Many of them have been gilted.
This near-Gem proof enjoys smooth surfaces and deep mahogany-brown color with a single spot between stars 11 and 12

Provenance:
