Black Cat Large Cent Obverse Patterns (1863-1868) Coin Album
1868 10C J-647 PR67
PCGS #60865
CAC - Low R.6 - Struck in nickel with a plain edge. The obverse features the almost identical design used on large cents from 1843 to 1857, while the reverse is similar except TEN CENTS is in the center of the wreath. The leftover Braided Hair design from large cents, last struck a decade before this piece, was used for pattern cents and ten cents in 1868. This nickel example is fully brilliant with satiny smooth surfaces and excellent design definition.
