sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/04/2010 03:46 am I have seen pictures in an encyclopedia of Confederate pattern coins. I think I saw recently a picture of a pattern Confederate gold dollar; it bugs me because I can't remember where. My question is this: How many pattern coins were the Confederates responsible for, and can anybody in the CCF post some illustrations of these? Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

The Half Dollar is the only reasonably affordable example. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/05/2010 09:23 am The Confederacy never struck a pattern gold dollar. They did strike 1861-D gold dollars using Union dies. unlike the other coins struck by the confederacy using Union dies these are extremely easy to recognize because the Union did not strike any 1861-D gold dollars before the mint was taken over. (At this time the half dollars struck by the confederacy can be identified by the die variety. The 2,991 1861 O double eagles and 887 1861-C half eagles struck by the Confederacy can not be identified.) Report this Post to the Staff
