Exciting Patterns From the Heritage FUN 2022 Auction
The Heritage FUN 2022 sale was exciting for patterns, being led by the Virgil Brand 1874 gold Bickford $10 Eagle selling for nearly $2 million and the John Work Garrett 1792 copper Disme selling for over $1.1 million. There were just under 100 patterns in the sale, including 14 patterns that sold for over $100,000. Most were classic patterns, with a notable exception being a 1971-S working prototype of the Eisenhower Dollar that sold for over $250,000. The 14 patterns consist of coins in the Pattern category, along with several Stella coins, Gobrecht dollars and the Working Prototype of the Eisenhower Dollar. Among the coins that sold for less than $100k, some notable coins included 3 Martha Washington patterns.
It would be difficult to cover all the patterns in the sale, so this article will only cover the 14 $100k and above pattern coins listed below. Of note, several collectors of note for patterns appeared more than once including the following with more than one appearance, in alphabetical order by last name: Virgil Michael Brand, King Farouk, Waldo Newcomer, Lorin Gilbert Parmelee, Bob Simpson and Dr. John Wilkison. Bob Simpson, the most recent collector on the list, made a strong showing with 9 of the 14 patterns selling for above $100k.
