 1870 10¢. Judd 831 (R-6 to R-7). Choice Brilliant Proof with the smooth gleaming perfection of Gem. Silver, RE, 38.7 grains. William Barber's stiffly straight-backed Liberty is seated on a cloth-draped rock, her knee obscuring the shield, small cap appearing at left atop a tall pole. This Pattern's reverse is that of the regular issue, cereal wreath Dime. Glossy deep gunmetal surfaces throb with underlying rose for outstanding visual appeal.
