Excerpt from Public Auction of Rare Pattern Coins to Be Held at Kennedy's Auction Rooms, 14 West 29 Street, New York City, Friday, Feb. 10, 1911
Now that the Government by its recent action in restoring to Mr. John W. Haseltine the lot of patterns taken from him last year has established a clear title to pattern pieces, collectors may acquire such coins without the misgivings and uncertainty that formerly attended such purchases. Among the duplicates of Mr. Woodin there are many rare and interesting specimens that will grace any cabinet. Nearly all of these pieces are in proof condition. It is indeed seldom that a pattern piece is found in other than proof condition, which makes the pattern series so attractive to collectors.
