Description
A plain-edge silver striking sharing the ornamented headband obverse and Standard wreath reverse with J-849. This is the variety from the Bob R. Simpson Collection that Coin World highlighted as "part of a long-overlooked series" when it sold at auction, helping to draw modern collector attention to the 1870 Standard Silver dime patterns as a distinct collecting area. The deep, original toning often found on well-preserved examples of these silver patterns testifies to over 150 years of careful stewardship by successive generations of pattern collectors.
Rarity Notes
R-6. Estimated 13-30 examples survive.
