1879 10C Washlady Ten Cents, Judd-1584, Pollock-1777, Low R.6, PR62 PCGS. Barber's famous "Washlady" design, a term that has been used to describe the liberally-locked portrait since the 19th century. The head of Liberty faces left surrounded by the legend and the date is placed below. She is wearing a headband inscribed LIBERTY. The headband is ornamented with ears of wheat, cotton leaves, and cotton bolls. On the reverse, the denomination is encircled by a ring of dots that is flanked by the ornamentally framed motto E PLURIBUS UNUM and a wreath of cotton and wheat. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. The lilac, olive, and sea-green patina is attractive. The cheek has a horizontal scratch, and the strike is not fully brought up, but this piece is otherwise impressive.
From W. Elliot Woodward to T. Harrison Garrett, (8/18/1883); Garrett II (Bowers and Ruddy, 3/1980), lot 1025; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 10489.
