Patterns are experimental coins created by the United States Mint to test new designs or compositions before official production. The 1869 Philadelphia Patterns, for instance, were struck as prototypes for potential use in U.S. currency. These coins often feature unique designs that differ from standard issues and are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance. The 1869 Patterns reflect attempts to evolve the currency system during that era.
