Scholars have now determined that this coin is not a pattern, but is still often collected by pattern collectors as the first year of the Bust half with reeded edge. Regular issue. Not a pattern but by tradition often collected along with the pattern series.5 At least a dozen or two were struck from mirror Proof dies, some for presentation. Circulation strikes were made from unpolished dies. Examples exist today in all circulated grades, Mint State, and Proof.
