Patterns are experimental or trial coins produced to test designs or minting techniques before official production. In the context of the United States, Pattern coins from 1880 feature unique designs, often differing from regular issue coins. These coins are highly collectible due to their rarity and the insight they provide into the historical evolution of U.S. coinage. Patterns typically exist in limited quantities, making them valuable among numismatists and collectors.
