Lot 1397
1862 Pattern $10. J-298 NGC graded Proof 65BN. NGC graded Proof 65 Brown. Lovely blue and brown toning that is classic on these early copper patterns. This one has the regular dies obverse, combined with the experimental but not adopted Motto of "GOD OUR TRUST" on the reverse, in small letters but not on any ribbon. This was the first appearance of the evolution of the new Motto on our coinage. Pop 5; none finer at NGC. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000
