Collectible coins are unique pieces of currency that hold value due to their rarity, historical significance, and demand among collectors. In the United States, collectible coins can include various types, such as patterns, which are specially struck coins often created to test designs or manufacturing processes before full production. The 1870 Philadelphia pattern coins exemplify this category, as they were produced in limited quantities and exhibit different features from standard coinage, making them highly sought after by numismatists. Collectors often focus on such patterns for their significance in U.S. coinage history and their potential for appreciation in value.
