Latest addition to the typeset.

This half dime will get us back on track but I must say theat 1836 Bust half was worth the detour. Very pretty coin Larry!

I picked up six new pattern coins at Central states. This is the only one I have imaged so far.

Seems like a good place to post these.

Beautiful proof Morgan there skyman

Filled the type 2 Buff slot in my toned type set image by mgoodm3

Beautiful proof Indian Winston.

A nifty little proof Indian in a first gen holder

Great loking Isabella Larry.

I've added a new small cent to the pattern typeset.

and a new trime to the regular issue set.

thanks to mgoodm3 for the images.

SkyMan- I am glad you like it. This is a curious pattern. The copper "die trials" were struck after the 2 known struck in gold. The Wilkison piece from David Akers book is struck from a perfect obverse die with out the die crack seen on my coin. The only other known example in gold is in the Smithsonian and it shows an earlier die state with the crack extending to but not into lady Liberty.

Great copper Shield nickel Lou. That image doesn't do that coin justice.

Beautiful half Tom. I agree about Mikes images. They are generally spot on.

Nice dime Larry

I recently added this proof set to the collection

MrSpud- That SCD is a stunner! Very cool design and damn fine shape for aluminum. Thanks for sharing it.

Very pretty proof Victor Here is the Indian cent (J612) from the aluminum presentation set I found at the FUN show. Sorry about the crappy scan.

New addition to the toned type set

Thanks Chad. Here is a better image of the Trade dollar pattern (also a FUN show newp)

Here are three more FUN show pattern purchases. I just got the Trueview images in todays email

zrlevin- that is correct, although this particular Stella is struck in aluminum (J1659) and is actually rarer than the gold version. This coin is going to occupy the $4 slot in the pattern denomination typeset.
