<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 686948, member: 18157&quot;]I don&#039;t understand why they keep calling the Cherrios Sac a &quot;Pattern&quot; coin (or pattern reverse). They struck 5500 of the suckers and released them for circulation. How is that a &quot;Pattern&quot;?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Granted, the Cherrios dollars were struck before the regular business strike dollars and the design change came between the two strikings...but still, the Cherrios dollars were struck with the expressed intent to release for circulation...<b>not a &quot;Pattern&quot;</b> (imho).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I read &quot;Pattern&quot; reverse, it somehow seems like the author is trying to say that a mistake was made...no mistake was made! The US Mint intended to strike those coins with that die...at the time, that WAS the approved <b>working</b> die! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just because they changed the design some time later, how does that make this die a &quot;Pattern&quot;? I suppose all the wheat pennies from 1909-1958 were struck with &quot;Pattern&quot; reverses, too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
