<B>1867 10C Seated Liberty Dime, Judd-587, Pollock-652, Low R.7, PR64 Red and Brown PCGS.</B></I> The regular issue design for the 1867 Seated Liberty dime. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Although sometimes called trial pieces, these patterns were deliberately made for sale to collectors. Saul Teichman comments: "This is one of the first years where the Mint sold off-metal pieces in complete sets to collectors. The Garrett collection had one of these sets and a double set is also known." Teichman provided considerable information to the appreciative catalogers of this offering. Only about eight or nine of these pieces are known. Both obverse and reverse exhibit faded cherry-red color with pale blue toning and an occasional carbon spot.<BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
