The 1885 One Dollar coin, often referred to within the context of patterns, represents a significant piece of American numismatic history.

Collectors highly value these patterns due to their rarity and historical importance in the evolution of U.S. coinage. The 1885 dollar pattern is particularly sought after, often commanding premium prices at auction.
