1866 Pattern Liberty Seated Dime. Judd-534, Pollock-599. Rarity-7+. Nickel. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. The obverse and reverse designs are the same that the Mint used to coin regular issue 1866 Liberty Seated dimes. A splendid example, one of few we have seen or handled. Under magnification some slight planchet flaking and tiny carbon spots can be seen, but to no detriment. The striking details are exquisite. Writing at the uspatterns.com website Saul Teichman suggests that examples of this Judd number are either deliberately struck for the numismatic trade or are wrong planchet Mint errors struck on nickel three-cent blanks. He also accounts for only three or four specimens of this rarity.
