1869 Pattern Dime. Judd-704, Pollock-783. Rarity-7-. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 BN (PCGS). CAC. Obv: Standard Silver design with a Liberty bust facing right, a plain tiara on her head and her hair tied in a bun at the back. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the periphery and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is inscribed on a scroll below. Rev: A wreath of oak and laurel leaves surrounds the denomination 10 CENTS, the inscription STANDARD SILVER above and the date 1869 below. Richly original surfaces are toned in blended tobacco and olive-brown, backlit by iridescent gold, blue and champagne-pink colors. Carefully preserved and a delight to behold. This is a rarer metallic composition for this pattern type, most examples in numismatic hands struck in silver.
