<B>1869 10C Ten Cents, Judd-714, Pollock-793, Low R.7, PR64 PCGS.</B></I> The obverse features the regular issue Liberty Seated design without the date. The reverse is inscribed SIL. 9 NIC. 1 and the date, 1869 below a solid line. Struck in nickel composition with a reeded edge. According to David Cassel, who has made an extensive study of Postage Currency and related patterns, the silver-nickel alloy as it is stated on the reverse of this pattern are incompatible metals and do not alloy. SEM-EDX testing on several Judd-714 pieces has shown them to be struck in the standard 75% copper, 25% nickel alloy in use at the time. Cassel attributes these pieces as Judd-715a. Pale champagne toning over pewter-gray surfaces. Very sharply struck and yet only slightly reflective.<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
