Description
The 1868 Proof Dime Pattern - J-644 is a proof dime pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Reconstruction Era Patterns (1866-1869) series. It pairs the 1863 postage currency obverse with the 1868-dated reverse of J-641; David Cassel's study of the die cracks shows that the die was made and used in May 1863, so the 1868 date is a misdating. About half a dozen are known in nickel. It is struck in nickel with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-7. It is also catalogued as Pollock-716 and Adams-Woodin 666. Cataloged as PCGS #60862.
