The half disme said to have been struck from silverware supplied by George Washington. They have also been called the Martha Washington half dime due to Liberty appearing to look similar to Martha Washington. Current researches have placed these as old wives tales, however. A good writeup on these can be found in Heritage's April 2006 sale. These have diagonally reeded edges which slope down to the left with the obverse upward as shown in the photo below. Technically, these are regular issues and not patterns. At least 1500 were struck, of which, a few hundred still survive with about a dozen still in various grades of Uncirculated. A unique example in copper J8/P8 ex Mickley (1878 Mason & Co. sale), Parmelee, Morris, S.H. Chapman, Newcomer, Lohr, Paramount Century sale, Roper, Long Island collection is also known to exist and is illustrated below. For additional historical information on 1792 coinage, click here.
