About This Coin
The 1877 Dime Patterns page holds William Barber's sailor-head dime, J-1498, struck in copper with a reeded edge. Judd also lists the design in silver (J-1497), which USPatterns.com has not confirmed; two of the copper pieces were later silver-plated. Henry Linderman, Director of the Mint, had a set of the 1877 patterns in his collection.
