Set Complete: The Flying Eagle & Indian Head Cent - Short Set (1858) consisting of 11 Pattern PR & 1 MS Flyer (the 1858 SL design which was new in 1858). The J-203 below was the last one: I’ll be able to add it to my set when the seller releases it from his inventory (or I wait 3 business days & provide photos to PCGS Set… -
Re: Post your Patterns
@jfriedm56: thanks, as always! The set can be found in PCGS Set Registry under the heading I mentioned above. Each coin has pics. The set is named “Indy Flyers”. I haven’t added the above coin as the seller hasn’t released it from his inventory yet. This is an all too common issue with adding coins in a Registry set, but… -

@retirednow: it took a little over two years. A bit of a back story, though. I resisted collecting patterns despite being urged to do so by a collector friend. As I preferred & focused on MS FE’s, I had a nice 1858 SL example already. I saw a “make offer” for 4 of the 11 patterns that were also individually priced. I… -

NEWP & a real beauty: This is the 11th of the 12 coins needed to complete my 1858 1C PR Pattern set, with “only” the J-203 remaining. Stunning eye appeal on this J-204 with great color, good mirrors & sharp detail! Shoutout to @boiler78 for making this great coin available! -

I posted a prior photo of the Liberty Seated Coinage of the 1868 Aluminum patterns ... but a few more pieces fell into shape in the past month that help me assemble a complete set -short of a 3CS trime. I started to focus on trying to replicate… -

Re: Post your Patterns
Speaking of Curious Mules – this J253 pattern is an unusual fantasy piece. This coin features Paquet’s Liberty Seated with fasces used on 1859 his half dollar patterns, paired a French Liberty Head design (50c patterns of the same year) accredited to James B. Longacre. Saul Teichman questions whether the French Head was… -

Re: Post your Patterns
Thanks to Retirednow for his compliments about my J.1111 and his amazing research to find a Kagin auction in which my J.1015 was offered in January, 1975. Nevertheless, the Kagan auction in which I acquired my coin occurred several months later at a venue in suburban Maryland, just outside D.C. I surmise that my coin was…
