Let's see your newest acquisitions!

That's a fine piece of history right there. Makes me want to take a metal detector to Gettysburg. Lots of loose change there I suspect. How does that get only a 60 when I don't see any hits or marks on the coin?

Heritage listing from 2004 says "Although attractive to the naked eye, this piece reveals numerous miniscule abrasions when inspected under a lens." I think it deserves better too, but proof grading seems to be a different thing. I don't own any patterns but I find them fascinating. Good score @Tall Paul

 

Patterns are a fascinating rabbit hole. I have been fortunate in assembling a denomination set that is only missing a twenty cent and a half cent pattern. I am also grateful that the dealers with whom I work are willing to offer generous lay-a-way terms.

In another month I will get a half cent pattern off of lay-a-way. I never thought I would be able to find a half cent pattern since there are only two varieties and one of them is unique. Thank you for the information from the listing on Heritage, I admit that once I found photos I could post I didn't look any further into the listing.
