<B>1879 10C Washlady Dime, Judd-1584, Pollock-1777, High R.6, PR66 NGC.</B></I> Ex: Genaitis. The Washlady design is attributed to Charles Barber, with Liberty's hair bound behind her head. The obverse has UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border with the date below the bust. The reverse has a wreath around a beaded circle that contains ONE DIME with E PLURIBUS UNUM framed above. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is one of the popular pattern designs, more recently dubbed the "Society Lady" design by Dave Bowers. This lovely Gem has gorgeous golden-brown toning with pale blue and vivid gold accents on the obverse. The reverse is similar with sea-green and olive-gold color across the entire surface. Current estimates suggest a surviving population of 12 to 15 coins, nearly all in lower grades than this Gem.<BR><I>Ex: Genaitis Collection of 1879 Coinage (Heritage, 8/2001), lot 8390.</B></I><BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
