Ken, I want to be you when I grow up!
Holy sweet Moly! This will be a pretty incredible set when you are able to complete it! Are you going to go for all Cameos?
I like this thread and I will have a good bit to add later!
Lucky to own a few:
PR64BN ex. Bass
PR63 CAC
PR65 ex. Bass
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
PR65 CAM CAC
J-1550a
The “first design” per George Morgan
Morgan said "this die with the deep serratures inserted by hand and with the feathers of the eagle's wing continued on the under edge of the body was the first model, and that subsequently, in deference to the idea and wishes of the Committee on Coinage, changed the arrangement of the feathers so as to leave a gap in the under edge between the feathers and the body."
Second finest known.

You’re the “gold” standard Doug!

@Copperindian I see that the sale of your magnificent Flying Eagle Collection has funded some new interests! Looking forward to seeing more of the NEWPS!

I don’t own too many US patterns as my specialty is Mexico. But here are my US cap & ray patterns.
Thanks! And I’m looking forward to finding them - talk about a hunt; these are tough!

@boiler78 has the best patterns!
Just added today:
This is #7 added to my set of 12. Really nice example without the CAM contrast the others have. However, it’s one of only 2 J-202’s known with excessive reverse die polishing not seen on other 5 leaf examples. This reverse is also found on a copper example of J-208! Rare piece, also with EEPS.

Even after a couple of strong bids the 3 Cent silver that would have fit in this mini set was out of my reach at a recent Heritage auction

There are some really nice patterns on this thread, thanks for posting!

We need @boiler78 to post his schoolgirl dollar.

@Coinbert . Wow. That coin has so much sizzle it should come with sound effects. James
@boiler78 !!!!!
Former Pattern:
It’s widely believed 1000 pieces were produced & issued for this “J-228”. Today this Shield Reverse 1859 is no longer considered a pattern, but rather part of the regular issue IHC’s. While 1000 coins is a minuscule number, it’s too many to believe the Mint’s intent was for it to be a Pattern cent. Its inclusion in the Red Book confirms this.

That is awesome!
This is a token. Not quite sure if this post is appropriate or applicable to this thread. I'm told this might have been some type of pattern or test piece for other tokens. You be the judge.

During WW2, because of the metal shortages, makers of common tokens were forced to use obsolete tokens to strike new tokens on.
Thank you James
If it works use it
Really interesting. Thank you for that! 👍
