1863 Pattern Postage Currency Dime. Judd-326a, Pollock-394. Rarity-6+. Billon. Plain Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). 24.69 grains. 84% copper, 16% silver. Obv: An ornamental shield with an inverted laurel wreath suspended from a ring. A pair of crossed arrows are behind the shield, and the inscription EXCHANGED FOR U.S. NOTES is around the periphery. Rev: The denomination 10 CENTS and the date 1863 are surrounded by the inscriptions POSTAGE CURRENCY and ACT JULY 1862. Deeply toned in charcoal-olive and russet, as sometimes seen on these billon pieces, but with hints of more vivid blue and rose undertones evident as the surfaces dip into a light. Sharply struck and free of troublesome marks, but with not enough "flash" to support a full Gem rating. According to the uspatterns.com website, only 27 examples of this Judd number were struck on May 27, 1863. The same source states that the silver content among extant examples varies from 10% to 40%. Provenance: From Heritage's sale of the David Cassel Collection, August 2015 Chicago ANA Signature Auction, 5932; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' sale of the Steven Cook Collection, Part II, July 2018 Regency Auction 27, lot 522.
