Tied for finest-certified honors with the brown color designation, this is a wonderfully original Gem. Both sides are richly toned in copper-brown shades through which one can discern mixed antique-gold, powder-blue and pale-apricot undertones as the surfaces resonate under a light. Full striking detail is seen throughout, and as before with several of the fine Patterns from this consignment, there is not a single detracting blemish. The Standard Silver design with a bust of Liberty facing right on the obverse. Liberty is wearing a diadem, and her hair is tied in a bun. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is above and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is on a scroll below. On the reverse, the denomination 10 CENTS is centered within a wreath of oak and laurel leaves. The inscription STANDARD SILVER is above and the date 1869 is below. Struck in copper with a r eeded edge. <B>Pop 2; none finer at NGC.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 60929&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,500-4,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 109114<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/109114.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/109114N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
