<B>1877 10C Sailor Head Ten Cents, Judd-1498, Pollock-1651, Low R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS.</B></I> The obverse portrait, designed by William Barber, is similar to the "Sailor Head" design made famous two years earlier, but with smaller lettering on the coronet and lacking the so-called sailor collar. The reverse uses the regular issue dies. This is a fantasy pattern as there was no other reason for its existence than to create a coin for collectors. The coin is technically illegal in that UNITED STATES OF AMERICA does not appear on either side. Struck in copper with a reeded edge, and encapsulated in a prior generation green label PCGS holder. This needle-sharp specimen has vivid orange, ruby-red, aquamarine, and electric-blue hues. A noteworthy example of this desirable pattern issue.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
