Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> Pattern Postage Currency design with an ornamental shield surrounded by an inverted laurel wreath suspended from a ring. A pair of crossed arrows are behind the shield. The inscription EXCHANGED FOR / U.S. NOTES is around the periphery. <strong>Rev:</strong> The denomination 10 CENTS and date 1863 in the center, with peripheral inscriptions POSTAGE CURRENCY above, ACT JULY 1862 below. Brilliant apart from a hint of hazy silver tinting, this platinum-gray beauty allows ready appreciation of semi-reflective fields and softly frosted motifs. Fully struck throughout, the obverse alone would support at least a Choice Proof grade.
