Description

A copper rendering of the design introduced in J-1086, this dime pattern highlights the more innovative obverse concept in warm base-metal tones. The departure from established convention that characterizes this design group is accentuated in copper, where the unfamiliar design elements stand in even starker contrast to the traditional Seated Liberty motif that Americans had known for three decades.

Rarity Notes

R-6 to R-7. Approximately 10-15 examples estimated.
