About This Coin
The 1870 Half Eagle Patterns page groups the half eagle pieces dated 1870 in the Standard Silver Patterns (1870) series, struck at the Philadelphia Mint from the regular dies in copper, aluminum and nickel (J-1032 to J-1034); two of the copper pieces have been gilt. USPatterns.com regards these off-metal pieces as strikings made for sale to collectors in complete sets, cent through double eagle, rather than true die trials.
