CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 04/30/2026 09:39 am CAC - This 1859 pattern half dollar was designed by Assistant Engraver Anthony C. Paquet. To the seasoned numismatist, this name may sound familiar, as it is the same engraver who created the rare 1861 and 1861-S Paquet Liberty $20 Gold Eagles. The coin pictured here was struck in Silver (J-247), but may also be found in copper (J-248). The reverse used on this pattern made its regular-issue debut on Liberty Seated coinage the following year and carried over to Barber dimes, where it remained in use throughout the series. This piece is graded CAC PR64+ Check out Half Dollar Patterns on ebay Check out Half Dollar Patterns on ebay Check out Books on Pattern Coins on Amazon Report this Post to the Staff
