<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 26269115, member: 114635&quot;]I apologize for the poor picture quality. I copied it from the seller&#039;s e-bay listing even though I purchased from it from their website. I had it on lay-a-way for four months. It&#039;s an 1856 J-177 Half Cent Pattern, R-5, MS-62. There are only two half cent patterns one of which, 1854 J-155 is unique. Within the J-177 pattern there were two different alloys used: 88% copper 12% nickel and 90% copper 10% nickel. I&#039;ll have to take it to my buddy and use his XRF machine to determine which one this is. I am now one pattern away from completing a full denomination set of patterns from the half-cent through the trade dollar. I am missing a twenty cent pattern and while they can be expensive they are more easily found than the half cent pattern. I am not including any gold coin patterns in my denomination set.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1678058[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1678059[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
