Patterns (1838)
No patterns are known bearing the date 1837, although certain 1836-dated Gobrecht silver dollars (of a variety with the name on the base, and medal-turn alignment) were struck early in 1837. In June 1838, the Mint Cabinet, or reference collection of coins, was inaugurated, and thenceforth served as a repository for selected impressions of regular coinage as well as patterns. At the time, Mint officials regularly exchanged coins with numismatists.
