Patterns are experimental coin designs created by mints to test new concepts before official production. The 1871 Philadelphia Patterns are notable examples, as they were intended to evaluate changes to existing coinage styles and denominations in the United States. These coins often feature unique designs that differ from circulating currency, making them highly sought after by collectors. The rarity and historical significance of these patterns contribute to their value in the numismatic market.
