Gold Patterns on the Colonel Green Photographic Plates
by Saul Teichman
updated April 8, 2018

The following listing comes from the Colonel Green photographic plates of half eagles and eagles in the possession of Stacks as well as items which appear in the B.G. Johnson invoices on the Newman portal. Col Green owned others not listed here, including gold half dollar and dollar patterns many of which were formerly in the Newcomer collection. Please look at that listing for potentially other pieces.

We would like to thank Stacks for access to the plates.
