muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7189 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 11:49 pm I have been watching this circulated pattern half and I wondered if Moe145 would be interested in this oddity. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT Report this Post to the Staff

I'm left with the mental picture of the seller sitting back, watching the auction approach $1000 in stark amazement. Report this Post to the Staff

At this stage, though, it's a bit out of my price league. And my Dansco doesn't have a slot for a beautiful Pattern Half Dollar like this one! Quote: That's weird.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 01:46 am Looks like the Judd-295 pattern, rated R-5. Heritage sold one graded PCGS PR-62 last September for about $1900. One month earlier a PCGS PR-63 example went for $2300. Looks like they aren't extremely rare and the current ebay bid of $810 might be about right for a circulated example. For the collector that really wants one it might be a better investment to spend the extra cash needed to acquire a PR-63 (or better) example. There are several denominations of patterns that use God Our Trust as the motto and they are dated a year or two before the first official IGWT coin (the 1864 two-cent piece).
