1797 P$10 Copper J-25 BN

Coin / United States of America / 1797 / Philadelphia / Patterns / P$10

Struck from regular dies. Breen-2B variety, Heraldic Eagle reverse. The single known piece is well-worn and once bent, perhaps carried as a pocket piece or souvenir. A highly significant example representing the earliest known pattern coin of this, the largest gold denomination at the time.
