The 1882 One Dollar Pattern coin, often associated with the United States Mint, was created as a test for potential new designs or compositions. Patterns are experimental coins, typically struck in limited quantities, which may differ from regular issue coins in design, metal content, or size. The 1882 One Dollar Pattern features distinctive designs that reflect the artistic trends of the time and is highly sought after by collectors, making it a noteworthy example of American numismatic history. Coins of this type not only represent the artistic efforts of their era but also the evolution of currency in the United States.
