RKKay helped in acquiring this pattern, one that I've been keeping an eye out for for a long time. Just wanted to publicly thank him for helping me get it. The coin is an 1856 J184 PCGS P65, Pop. 1/0, R6. The key features are the point at the base of the "U" in United and the ornamental or harp shield reverse. It's date of production was about 1858. The obverse was used also in the production of the 1856 S2, S4 and S5 varieties. I can't quite capture the color/proof quality but the pic is pretty close to the real thing.

    Thanks for the accolades, but, actually, you only have Wondercoin to thank. I had offered him first shot, but, when I found out that this coin had been earmarked for you, I talked to him, and he said to let it go. He was more than gracious, as I have learned is his character. Thanks again for your kind comments. I know you'll love the coin. It's spectacular.

    Very cool coin!

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Looks magnificent even in the small pic. Congrats, and a nice gesture by RKay & Wondercoin for passing this on to Lakesammman who I know wanted it badly. What's the story behind the point at the base of the U?
