Description

Judd-333, Pollock-385, is the penultimate variety in the 1863 dime pattern series. This proof striking represents one of the final design concepts evaluated before the Mint concluded its extensive dime study. The comprehensive nature of the 1863 dime series — ten die combinations across approximately twenty-five distinct varieties when accounting for composition variants — makes it one of the most thoroughly documented denomination studies in American numismatic history. Each variety contributed to the knowledge base that informed subsequent decisions about dime design.
