Patterns are experimental coins created to test designs before they are officially adopted for circulation. The 1876 Patterns from the United States, particularly the designs associated with the cent and other denominations, reflect a significant era in American numismatics. These coins are often struck in distinct metals and feature unique designs that differ from standard issue coins, making them highly sought after by collectors. The rarity and historical significance of 1876 Patterns contribute to their value in the numismatic market.
