Bought this at FUN, one of the Garrett patterns. I couldn't get a good pic so gave up and had PCGS do it.

What do you think?? image

    I think that's pretty cool! image
    I have a feeling that some will think it's too splotchy, but I like its character....

    I just noticed the different motto above the eagle, and was recently reading about the origin of "in god we trust" motto- what a great coin!!

    That's pretty cool looking, any idea why they were goofing around with different scrolls for the motto? Edit to ask for different mottos too?

    Oh my Lord.....what a mind-numbing half dollar, EXACTLY how a Civil War era half should look! I bet that set you back a dollar or two.

    Look at those watery fields. Nicer than the Mona Lisa - Contrats!!!!!

    It's only a P64. image

    Maybe when PCGS loosens up again, it will be properly graded.

    I love it!

    It's a really outstanding coin. If I collected patterns, which I don't, except for fringe items like the 1836 on base Gobrecht Dollar and the 1792 haf disme, which should be a regular issues IMO, I'd want them to look like this piece.

    The dealer at FUN had this 338 (Garrett) AND the Eliasberg 338, side by side. It was hard to not buy both. image
