Every pattern of this year is a repeat from the previous year. 4 goloid dollar patterns were made. This one is William Barber's design and was inspired by his 1877 half union J1645/P1845 This one was designed by George Morgan and is considered one of the ugliest patterns ever made. J1650/P1850 This one is also from a design by William Barber. The obverse was originally from an 1877 half dollar pattern and was used on goloid patterns for the next 3 years. J1653/P1853 This last one is by George Morgan and has coiled hair similar to that on his $4 gold design J1654/P1854 Here is Charles Barber's flowing hair stella J1657/P1857 and here is George Morgan's coiled hair design J1660/P1860. Finally, half eagle die trials were made in copper. It is not known why they were made.
