About This Coin
The 1792 Half Dime Patterns page holds the unique copper striking of the 1792 half disme (J-8), which has a plain edge. The silver half dismes from the same dies (J-7) are listed as patterns by Judd but are treated by uspatterns.com as regular issues; Wikipedia records that Thomas Jefferson received 1,500 of them on July 13, 1792, struck in John Harper's workshop before the Mint's own buildings were ready.
