Patterns (1805) Values

Greysheet & Red Book® PRICE GUIDE

The Patterns (1805) series of Pattern Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 4 distinct entries.

History and Overview

As with the previous year, no relevant pattern records have come to the attention of the numismatic community. However, there are certain private restrikes from discarded dies that have been classified under the year 1805.

In 1805 at the Mint, production of regular denominations for circulation included the half cent, cent, half dime, dime, quarter dollar, half dollar, $2.50, and $5. Silver dollars had not been coined since 1804, and those few that were struck in the year 1804 were from dies dated earlier, possibly 1803. The $10 denomination was discontinued in 1804 and would not be struck again until 1838.

Collecting Perspective

The private restrikes listed below are not patterns, but have been adopted into the series by many early catalogers and compilers of texts including Adams, Woodin, and Judd. These pieces provide interesting alternatives for numismatists to acquire off-metal strikes of these dates, an era from which contemporary patterns are not available.
