Patterns
1871 10C Ten Cents, Judd-1085, Pollock-1221, High R.6, PR64 Brown PCGS. The Longacre Indian Princess design on the obverse features Liberty seated with left hand resting on a globe, right hand holding a pole with cap on top, and conjoined flags behind. The reverse is from the regular issue dies. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This design on the obverse, paired with the regular reverse gives the idea what an alternative Seated Liberty dime would have looked like; although why it would have been struck in copper is a mystery. A dozen or so copper examples are believed known. The surfaces are muted brown with occasional glimpses of underlying red.
