About This Series

The Patterns (1836) series of Pattern Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 2 distinct entries.
On March 23, 1836, the first steam-powered coining press at the U.S. Mint was inaugurated. Cents were struck by steam power in that month, and on November 10, the first silver coins were struck on steam presses. Many processes were improved and mechanized, including the making of dies.

In 1836, patterns came to the forefront, creating the first truly grand year after 1792 in the series. We see the emergence of Christian Gobrecht’s Liberty Seated design and, in strictly pattern form, the production of coins of the two-cent and gold dollar denominations. The Liberty Seated issues in particular set the stage for later coinage.
