FE Pattern

Not the greatest to look at, but I'd love to be old enough to make the money to afford it image.

    Yes that is me selling it. I have owned it for about a year and loved it but could put the money to other uses. I like the design alsoimage

    I like the coin a ton, I just randomly decided to look for patterns on E-Bay since I had seen that one before and loved it. What a shame some other loser will get it image.

    I've always loved that pattern. I wouldn't say I like the eagle better than the one on the regular Flying Eagle cent, but it's a cool variation.

    I don't understand. Smoeone explains this to me. Starting bid is $1895. There are 2 bidders currently, and the current bid is $1895.image

    My dream pattern is a 1792 Half-Disme image

    On a more serious Pattern coin want... is one of these... image

    This is a PF66RD, about $20,000 image Lower end examples, range from $7-$12k depending on the type, cause there's two different reverses, both struck and silver and copper, but I like the copper ones better image

    That's cause the same bidder made a stronger second bid...

    Look at the bid history... Rick put in a bid, and then a couple days later, presumably entered a higher proxy bid...

    So, he wants to make sure he was gonna get it, huh?
  • DD Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭
    Nice dime pattern image.

    And another nice pattern, however I'd be fine with a regular strike.

    great pattern piece! wish i could find info on the mintage, 200-500 seems sort of high to me. for a pattern piece like this, i'd be surprised if more than 50-150 were made.

    i hope for cameron's sake that there is at least one sniper out there. imo, that's too nice of a piece to go for under $2k, even $3!

    "D" maybe we can go "halvsies" on it, each keeping it a month at a time. image i'm sure after a year i'd be over owning the piece and ready to sell you my half, or fight to death for it. ha ha. image
    peace

    Well, it's over, hopefully someone from these forums won it and enjoys the coin image. I can now go back to not needing a drink/having a dry mouth everytime I logon to "My Ebay".

    Did you get sniped, Rick? I thought for sure patterns guy (you) were gonna get it.
  • RKKayRKKay Posts: 3,015 ✭✭✭
    I didn't get sniped. I just set my limit a little conservatively, as I have several already, and intend to make some purchases this week.

    I've always liked that pattern as well. I mean really, who wouldn't want a GIGANTIC Flying Eagle cent?

    Looks like a nice, problem example...
