1869 Pattern Liberty Seated Dime. Judd-718, Pollock-799. Rarity-7+.

1869 Pattern Liberty Seated Dime. Judd-718, Pollock-799. Rarity-7+. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-66+ BN (PCGS). The obverse and revers designs are the same that the Mint used to coin regular issue 1869 Liberty Seated dimes. Vivid gold, salmon pink and pale gold iridescence backlights dominant copper-rose patina on both sides of this delightful upper end Gem. A traditional die trials striking, but now understood to be a deliberately struck Mint delicacy for sale to contemporary collectors, as part of off-metal Proof sets. Regardless, Judd-718 is a formidable rarity today with a mere three specimens traced per the uspatterns.com website.
