The 1860-1865 era was a pivotal time in U.S. coinage, marked by the transition to the "IN GOD WE TRUST" motto and the shift of Small Cents from Copper-Nickel to Bronze. This period also saw the introduction of the Two-Cent piece and various off-metal pattern coins struck with regular dies. These rare experimental pieces are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and unique designs.
Notable highlights include the 1860 J-267 "Transitional" Half Dime, which lacks UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the unique 1860 J-271 gold Half Eagle pattern, and the 1860 J-272a Paquet Reverse Double Eagle, with a single example housed in the Smithsonian. Other significant issues include the 1863 J-319 & J-320 Three Cent patterns, Postage Currency pattern coins, and the 1865 $5, $10, and $20 gold patterns.
These rare patterns provide an exciting glimpse into mid-19th-century U.S. Mint experimentation. Explore authentic U.S. pattern coins (1860-1865) at ParadimeCoins.com, your premier source for historic and collectible numismatic treasures.
