<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 5361310, member: 84595"]Happy New Year. I enlarged your pictures and for the money I would pass on this copper pattern. Not having the coin in hand, I surmise this coin has the appearance of environmental damage toning. I would recommend buy the book, United States Pattern Coins, J. Hewitt Judd, M.D., edited by Q. David Bowers. Like others have posted, this is a specialized market and few buyers especially for a coin that appears to have unattractive toning. I've seen better for less and better for slightly more. The silver pattern is more popular. There are many good coin dealers who sell on eBay and you can type in an eBay search "Pattern Coins" and can find many in circulated to MS grades and from many countries including the US. Do research before you buy a pattern coin. The collectors and dealers on Coin Talk will steer you into an educated direction. Enjoy coin collecting, it's a great hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
