cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 10:01 am Thanks for this great post! The Buffalo struck in copper is amazing. Today is the last day of the month and I just checked my wallet and it's empty so maybe I can sell it for $10800 like that leather holder? Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".

That's a great question, and sadly none that I am aware of. Even if they did the price would be so exorbitant no mere mortal could afford them. There were some former US Mint engraver, Frank Gasparo, items that come up around 2009 but his daughter decided to donate them all to the National Collection for all to enjoy. https://americanhistory.si.edu/coll...ief-engraver In 1999 there were some trial pieces that were inadvertently released of the Marsha Washington dollar. https://uspatterns.stores.yahoo.net...sdesons.html As outside contractors were given some of these it is possible and probable that they still exist outside of the mint in a "clandestine" area. https://varietyerrors.com/coin-pric...price-guide/ The Sacagawea "Cheerios" Dollar patterns have come to light as well, though never officially released either. http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page20c.html But NO is the answer to "Can I purchase current patterns somewhere official?" There have been a few outside unofficial vendors that have made patterns like the Gallery Mint or Carr's Midnight Mint some of the pieces that they produced were in the running to become a new official US Coin design, but never did.

There's a small dealer in the Houston area I got to know well over the years who specialized in patterns. I loved looking at his inventory, but the expense of building a pattern collection was just too high... Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.
