1869 10C Standard Silver Ten Cents, Judd-708, Pollock-787, R.5, PR65 PCGS. On the obverse Liberty faces right, wearing a headband that is adorned with a single large star in the forehead area. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA borders the upper periphery, with IN GOD WE TRUST in a curved ribbon below. Reverse: STANDARD SILVER around upper edge with 10 / CENTS in an oak and laurel wreath. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Both edge variants of the silver strikings are fairly common, while the copper and aluminum piece are quite scarce. This is an interesting piece. The fields are deeply reflective with obvious signs of die polishing in the fields. The obverse is deep blue and the reverse is bright rose with just a hint of peripheral blue.
