<b>1871 Pattern Dime. Aluminum, reeded edge. Judd-1082. Pollock-1218. NGC graded Proof 63.</b> Indian princess design for a STANDARD coinage, the extremely rare strike in aluminum &#40;Rarity-7 in Judd, with only 4 to 12 believed to be extant&#41;. A glittering choice Proof with some light hairlines and swirls in the mirror surface. Aluminum &#40;or as the English prefer to spell it, aluminium&#41; was an expensive metal in 1871. Its use on Pattern coinage was an obvious choice since, being relatively soft, it took a nice sharp impression from the dies. This lovely Judd-1082 piece displays every detail down to the smallest feature <b>&#40;PCGS # 61341&#41;</b>
