1864 Patterns (1864) Values

Greysheet & Red Book® PRICE GUIDE

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Patterns (1864) series of Pattern Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 112 distinct entries with CPG® values between $950.00 and $120,000.00.

Early in the year, experiments were conducted in variations of copper alloy, mixing silver and aluminum to create different colors and appearances.23 These experimental examples are virtually indistinguishable today except by elemental analysis. Later, in 1864, the obverse die of the Indian Head cent was modified and the tiny letter L, for the engraver Longacre, was added to the ribbon.

Several varieties of two-cent patterns were produced in various metals. The transitional novodels with motto on reverse was continued for the quarter dollar, half dollar, and silver dollar, again in different metals. Several other patterns were struck, as noted in detail below. Most off-metal strikings from regular Proof dies are likely restrikes made in the 1870s.
