Here is a question for the group. The K-1g variety shows up in both white metal, and white metal gilt

Here's the white metal specimen that was in the same submission as the TrueViews above.

'1850' $10 Baldwin Restrike K-1g White Metal - PCGS MS65 POP 0/1/0

https://www.pcgs.com/cert/36749080

I believe that this one is the same that David McCarthy showed above. The sequence of PCGS cert numbers shown came from Kagin’s Ford territorial pattern sale. I bought them from Russ Augustin at the end of last year. I will post more details tonight.

That does look like the same one based on the obverse toning at 4 o'clock near the rim.

Congrats on picking these up and it's great to know you were able to pick them up from Russell / AU Capital Management. Nice provenance:

• John J. Ford Jr.
• Don Kagin
• Russ Augustin

If this entire set is from Ford, they should be properly attributed.

I said Ford, but meant Bass, as in the bass pattern sale.

Here's a set of the later strikes with engraving done by Ron Landis and slabbing by PCGS.

The pewter die trial version is pretty rare and the label is off a bit as the pewter has the original 1850 date, and isn't a 1850/7 overdate.

I remember when these came out.

The original is my third favorite US coin, after the 1861 CSA half dollar and 1792 Washington Getz pattern half in silver.

I find these restrikes too expensive, though just like the CSA half dollar restrikes. Concurrently, it shows how high of a collector preference both of these coins have.

I agree this is a beautiful design. The rarity of the original has an interesting story behind it too.

Do you remember how the pewter ones were offered? They seem pretty rare!

Actually, I only specifically remember the gold version. To my recollection, came out the same time as the $50 Kellogg restrike.

This is a 2002 version……..I bought from Ron Landis. He used one of the finest available to create his. He also made one for himself. I then crossed it to pcgs. I have his letter somewhere and need to look once I’m settled in our new home.
