<B>1869 10C Ten Cents, Judd-714, Pollock-793, Low R.7, PR64 NGC.</B></I> Struck with a reeded edge. The obverse is similar to the regular issue, but without the date in exergue. The reverse has the legend SIL. 9 / NIC. 1 / 1869. The rarity rating above is for the combination of cupro-nickel and silver-nickel (if, in fact, any silver-nickel specimens of this design exist). Three examples have been SEM-EDX tested and all three proved to be cupro-nickel. Silver and nickel are basically incompatible as an alloy. The coin has a pleasing appearance and each side is draped with olive and gold patina. Diagonal die striations are noted on each side, but there are no large or offensive contact marks.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
