About This Coin

The 1838 Half Dollar Patterns page groups the half dollar designs tried in 1838: William Kneass's draped Liberty head with several eagle reverses (J-72 to J-75), and Gobrecht's seated Liberty from two obverse dies, one with LIBERTY raised on the shield and one with it incuse, paired with flying eagle, spread eagle and regular reverses (J-76 to J-83). uspatterns.com treats the raised-LIBERTY pieces as 1838 originals and most of the others as restrikes made from the 1840s to the 1870s.
