Lot 1079
1871 Pattern Dime, J-1075, rarity 7, copper, reeded edge. PCGS graded Proof 63 Red and Brown. Premium Quality. Pollock-1211, AW-1173. The popular Longacre design without stars on the obverse. Liberty's full figure is seated, with a globe market LIBERTY, flags behind and a cap on her extended pole. We note that Liberty is wearing a similar headdress as seen on three dollar gold pieces. On the reverse, STANDARD is above, with 10 CENTS in the wreath of cereals. Minor copper spots on the obverse, but free of other detractions. Rosy red toning on both sides with a decent amount of mint color to please the eye.
From Empire Coin Company at a cost of $70, no doubt more than a few years ago, then to the Madison Collection.
