1871 LIBERTY $10, J-1173 PCGS PR67 Brown

Superb Proof 1871 Liberty Head eagle pattern, Judd-1173, certified PR67 Brown. This Rarity-7 pattern is listed as the sole highest graded, making its preservation especially meaningful within a very small surviving population. The brown proof surfaces suit the experimental character of the piece, while the Liberty Head eagle format connects it to the broader design studies of the early 1870s. Patterns from this period are collected not only as rarities, but also as records of Mint experimentation. This example offers advanced specialists a high-grade representative of an elusive Judd variety.
