About This Series

The Patterns (1813) series of Pattern Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 2 distinct entries.

History and Overview

The listings for 1813 are limited to private restrikes of the half dollar denomination. No contemporary patterns have been recorded, and almost nothing is known about experiments and ideas tried at the Mint during this era.

Collecting Perspective

The so-called restrikes of this year were made generations later from dies discarded as scrap iron by the Mint. The obverse die was originally used to strike 1813 half dollars of the Overton-107 variety, while the reverse was originally employed to strike 1810 Overton-104 coins. The varieties known as J-42 and J-43 are highly collectible and highly desired in their own right today, specialists recognizing them for what they are. Examples are very rare.
