Collectible coins are often categorized based on their historical significance, rarity, and numismatic value. One notable type is the Pattern coin, which is a prototype or trial piece created to test new designs or modifications before full-scale production. An example is the 1873 Pattern coin minted in Philadelphia, which is part of the United States’ numismatic history and showcases the artistic and technical advancements of that era. Patterns are highly sought after by collectors due to their limited mintage and the unique insights they provide into the coinage processes of the time.
