1846 Patterns (1846) Values
The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Patterns (1846) series of Pattern Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 1 distinct entries with CPG® values between $35,000.00 and $35,000.00.
History and Overview
No patterns are known bearing dates 1841 through 1845. Examples described as patterns in certain earlier texts and catalogs have proven to be early counterfeits of circulating coins, sometimes from crude dies, made for deception in the channels of commerce (not for numismatic purposes).
Collecting Perspective
With the date 1846, a curious piece exists about the diameter of a quarter eagle, with the obverse and reverse of an 1846 die pair, but then with the reverse additionally overstruck with an 1846 half eagle die.
