The 10¢ Adams?

It was proposed that the subject of the 10¢ vignette would be John Adams, an idea that was dropped.

A new color

Because the 1¢ denomination had been changed from blue to green it meant that both the 10¢ and 1¢ value would both be green. To avoid possible confusion the 10¢ value was changed from green to brown.
