Patterns are experimental coin designs created to test new concepts before official minting. The 1868 coin patterns from the United States, often used in numismatic collections, reflect the innovative approaches of the Mint during that period. These coins typically bear unique designs that distinguish them from regular issues, making them highly sought after by collectors. Their rarity and historical significance contribute to their value in the marketplace.
