About This Coin
The 1868 Dime Patterns page groups the ten-cent patterns dated 1868 in the Reconstruction Era Patterns (1866-1869) series, all struck at the Philadelphia Mint. A dateless Seated Liberty obverse with the date on the reverse (J-641 and J-642) is linked to plans for redeeming fractional currency; the 1863 postage currency obverse appears with that reverse (J-644 to J-646); the Braided Hair large cent obverse is paired with a ten-cent reverse (J-647 and J-648); and J-649 is an aluminum striking from the regular dies.
