One dollar pattern coin

[SteveDodds]

I recently purchased this coin. Don't really know anything about it but I wanted it and I didn't care what it cost me. Can anybody tell me any thing about it? Gonna try and post a pic. I hope it works.

Hey it worked. Any ideas where I could find a book value for such an item?

Probably not gonna find a value for it. Being a privately minted token its worth what you paid. Eventually it'll show up in a price guide I'd imagine.

That is a beautiful token. What is its size? It reminds me of 1800's coinage, very stunning.

Its almost the same in size and color as the Sac dollar. Is it a good thing that its a privately minted token?

 

[SteveDodds]

I'd have to guess its probably the same material as the Sac but I don't know.

Hi Everyone, Hey the coin is listed in the Gallery Mint pages. Look half way down the page. Here is the websight.

That info on the website does'nt make any sense because my coin is not a piedfort.

Galley Mint Museum Dollar Prototypes
This is what I currently know, some of which was confirmed by Ron Landis, other information from the Coin Coalition:
Flowing Hair 1995: 1, 371 pieces struck. First prototype of concept dollar, incused words on rim.
Flowing Hair 1998: 130 pieces struck. Produced for Mint Directors and media to promote the Peace 2000 concept. Most were distributed at the ANA New York convention at the COTY awards ceremony.
Statue of Liberty 2000 (11 Ray): Less than 20 pieces struck.(1) The 11 ray statue design was a hand cut die produced in days to make the deadline for the congressional hearing.
Statue of Liberty 2000 (13 Ray): Less than 100 pieces struck. 11 ray die cleaned up in the positive, and used to punch the main device into the more finished 13 ray version. Both styles were distributed to Congress.
Flowing Hair 2000: Same as the piedforts currently offered for sale but normal thickness. Gallery Mint Museum did not give any info on this item. Was told by Coin Coalition that these were also distributed to Congress and the media to feature the reverse design for the dollar coin.
Liberty at 3/4 Profile: 47 pieces struck in piedfort thickness. A few were sent to Michael Castle's office, a few were given out to people at the Dollar Coin Design Advisory Committee but were never really promoted by GMM or Monetary Policy committee.
Flowing Hair 2000 Piedfort: 2, 500 presentation pieces struck and sold to the public.
Statue of Liberty 2000 (13 Ray) Piedfort: 2, 500 presentation pieces struck and sold to the public.

One thing I am still looking for is What are the mintage numbers on the 2000 Flowing Hair Liberty model dollar? Not the piedfort sold to collectors but the thin version. The thin version is the one I own. I paid $46 for it.
