The denomination 10 CENTS and the date 1870 are centered on the reverse within a wreath of cotton and corn. The word STANDARD is at the upper border. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.

The olive-brown surfaces are essentially defect-free, with the only "flaw" being a curlicue lint mark struck in the obverse field close to the lowest curl of Liberty's hair.
