Early in the year, a Congressman Kelley introduced a bill providing for the coinage of one, three, five and ten cent pieces from an alloy of nickel and copper, to be legal tender to the amount of one dollar in replacing the minor coins and fractional currency then in circulation. This is the Pattern Ten Cent design the Mint created to show how the proposed coin might look.

Struck on a 10 gram weight copper and nickel alloy planchet. According to Judd, "because of delay in preparing the dies for the proposed ten cent piece, the first test pieces were struck in March, 1868 on the screw press, using dies made from the hubs of the large cent, which were still available." The pieces in nickel and copper alloy weigh 10 grams as specified in the proposed bill for this coinage series. Pop 4; 2 finer in 67 (PCGS # 60865) . Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
