Description
The plain-edge silver version of the forehead ornament Liberty Head with Standard wreath reverse. By the seventh design group, the 1870 Standard Silver dime program had produced an extraordinary visual catalog of Liberty portrait concepts — from seated figures to bust portraits, from Phrygian caps to diadems to various headbands. The Greysheet has tracked auction prices for this variety, indicating sustained collector interest in the full range of 1870 dime patterns despite the series' relative obscurity compared to more famous American pattern issues.
