In the realm of collectible coins, particularly from the United States, patterns and trial coins represent unique classifications. Patterns are experimental designs created to test new coinage concepts prior to official circulation; these are often struck in small quantities and can be highly sought after. The 1866 five-dollar patterns from Philadelphia are significant examples, featuring designs that were proposed but not adopted for regular minting. Collectors value these coins for their rarity, historical context, and artistic merit.
