Indian Cents struck on silver dime planchets were often offered as patterns in early, circa 1900, auction sales. Several years are reported including 1863, 1864-L, 1868, 1869, 1893, 1900 off-center, 1905, 1906, 1908 and 1909. Additional dates are likely. There are also 4 (1883, 1899, 1903 and 1909) struck over Barber dimes. The 1864-L and 1869 are listed in the Adams & Woodin pattern book as AW467 and AW825 respectively. The latter, illustrated above, is believed to be unique and to be the original Woodin, Brenner-1914 ANS exhibit, Olsen, Federal Brand 5/59 lot 2196 example although it doesn't match the Adams and Woodin plate. Its more recent pedigree includes lot 829 in Superior's 9/98 sale, Tony Terranova, Michael Byers and is now in a private collection. Note that the planchet is too small.
