This was not "technically" a pattern, maybe a pattern for the pattern:   1837 Feuchtwanger Cent purchased from online retailer |

I don't own any patterns, but I know that jmwilson has a spectacular One Dollar pattern.

I have a few pattern coins (European), two extremely rare, but no U.S. patterns.

I want an 1854 Flying Eagle cent. Those shut up anyone bragging about their "rare" 1856 flying eagles.  |

I do have a pattern to cent piece forget the Judd number, but it's in 1863 and its one of the GOD OUR TRUST varieties with the word CENTS strongly curved. It only grades VG to Fine. I bought it many years ago out of an ad in Coin World. Cost me $100. Sorry but I don't take pictures of my coins so I don't have a picture of it. Edited by Conder101

Quote:I was hoping a Gobrecht dollar or two might show up. It would if Bill Jones was still around. He used to be a regular here and I really enjoyed his posts and rare examples from his collection. I haven't seen him around for awhile. Does anyone know what happened to him? |

This is a 1879 Coiled Hair Stella $4 Gold coin. It is a pattern coin that was never issued by the Mint for circulation. Anybody out there own a U.S. Pattern?I own the coin below (along with my fellow American People). If you do, how did you acquire it?My agent, the curator of the Smithsonian's National collection of U.S. coins, a federal government employee, purchased it with my money (and that of other taxpayers). (And it goes without saying... pictures please!)Here you go. There are many other priceless ones in my (and yours if you are an American citizen) colection.    IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I have a half dollar pattern. I was looking for a FH Dollar and I found one with a dealer. While looking through his stock, I noticed a half dollar pattern that looked rather appealing. I'd never bought a pattern before and all I had on price was auction history, but it was enough. I bought both coins that day.
I'll put up a picture when I get around to it.
