Been exchanging emails with another forum member about pattern coins. Let's start a thread about the ones that didn't quite make the cut to regular issue!

A nifty half dollar pattern with obverse and reverse eagles
A "must have" coin for Gobrecht dollar collectors.
Boiler bet me tio it. Here is my only true pattern, the 1836 gold dollar. My piece grades a point lower than his.
My other two "patterns" are the 1836 Gobrecht Dollar and the 1792 half disme, but I think that both of those coins qualify as regular issues. The mintages were too high and too many of them are in the circulated grades to call them "experimental."
A fun small cent transitional set that is challenging but doable.

Sorry. I have to go Darkside. Can't afford US pattern coins.
Beautiful J-84 !!!!
Likewise on the 104....tho technically yours ain't a pattern.
Those are awesome and a great presentation!!!!!
And a French version of Liberty with flowing hair, for the darksiders:

If darkside is allowed...
1949 Israel Specimen 1 Pruta. When the State of Israel declared independence in 1948, there was an immediate need to replace all the coins and currency in circulation. Production was farmed out to outside suppliers in the U.K, and a few sample pieces with the inscription "SPECIMEN" were struck, possibly as production samples or in order to get the approval of the relevant authorities.
Some very nice specimens here...I do not have a pattern coin... at least not that I recall...
Cheers, RickO
These are listed in the pattern books, but they are not patterns in my opinion and the opinions of others.
1792 half disme
1836 Gobrecht Dollar
