1871 Pattern Dime, Judd-1079, Pollock-1215, Rarity 7, Aluminum, reeded edge. NGC graded Proof 67. This is far and away the finest graded of this extremely rare pattern issue. Only 4 have been seen by the services, one graded PR 64 by PCGS, followed by two graded PR 65 by PCGS, and this piece, the only coin of this variety graded by NGC at PR 67. Liberty is seated with a pole and cap extended, behind her are two flags and a globe with "LIBERTY" boldly engraved. The reverse is the regular issue used on current coinage of the time. Undiminished by time or handling, this coin is a pleasure to behold. Mint fresh and untoned, with excellent mirroring in the fields and deeply frosted devices. A coin for the connoisseur who demands the finest.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
