Patterns of 1796

There are no known patterns dated 1796, although this was a pivotal year for the introduction of new denominations— the dime, quarter dollar, and quarter eagle. Without doubt, different trial pieces must have been made for the new denominations. No records of any exist today. The piece described below is a later restrike that bears the date 1796, but has no connection with true patterns of that year.

While no patterns made in 1796 exist today, listed under this date is a white metal impression, probably made generations later from dies discarded as scrap by the Mint.
