It has the shield on it as opposed to Washington (I've read he's on some of the patterns). Unfortunately I don't know any more details about the pattern, but I was wondering what sort of prices a pattern like this could bring? The guy had it priced at $2K - which I obviously didn't have on me (nor would I dish that out without a lot of research), but it seemed like a good deal. Report this Post to the Staff

With that said, prices are all over the map, indicating there's a demand issue too - when you sell at the right time, you do well. Report this Post to the Staff

At times, I've had an antique mall contact the seller and then proceeded to negotiate a more favorable price. IMHO, an antique mall is not a good venue to sell pattern coins! I'd suggest that you check out the Heritage and Stacks' auction archives for starters. You might also check out population reports from PCGS, NGC and ANACS on this item. Hopefully, you can do all this before I locate that antique mall ... just kidding! ... maybe ... ;-) Report this Post to the Staff
