Well you can buy them there. And you will sometimes see them in dealers cases at shows. They are available if you keep your eyes open.

You should be able to find some at the larger coin shows. Buy only what YOU like.
Do your homework regarding metals, qty struck and popularity. Search auction records for pricing.
I recommend only buying slabbed patterns.
You will need to take plenty of money.

Well, the combined total of all patterns ever struck is likely less than that of one small year's mintage of a circulating issue. They're rare, expensive and not found hanging from trees. Chances are you'll only find Patterns at major auctions and dealers.

You know it SsuperDdave.......there's nothing like betting your friends that Washington is on the Nickel and the look on their faces when you whip-it-out and show them.

Most U.S. pattern coins are very rare and valuable. That makes them a prime target to be faked. Extremely good fakes have been produced over many decades. The Chinese are 'Johnny come lateleys' in this regard. I would never attempt to buy a U.S. pattern coin from any but the most respected dealers, or from one of most respected auction houses. They are the guys who have the skill and knowledge to provide the backup guarantee to avoid fakes. They are the only sources I would trust to ensure that you are bidding on the genuine article. Forget ebay unless it is one of the above mentioned sources. Even so, they may be just advertising what they have, using the 'Bay. There is nothing unethical in doing that. They may just actually SELL what they have, but that is quite often not the prime aim of listing on ebay. Just make sure that this source is provable. |

It would be much cheaper to go after patterns of countries other than the U.S.
That is what I do, nevertheless still very hard to find.

High, in my opinion, but hard to say. I could find no record of another example with the CAM designation, so you can assume that's a value-added feature. However, a PR65 just went for $2600 at Heritage, and I don't think a PR62CAM should blow that out of the water. Solid dealer, though, and a good source.
