Collectible coins, particularly patterns, are experimental designs or coin prototypes created by mints to test new concepts before mass production. The 1884 patterns from the United States feature distinctive designs that often reflect the artistic vision of the mint engravers and serve as important historical artifacts in numismatics. These coins are highly sought after by collectors for their rarity, unique designs, and the insight they provide into the evolving standards of coinage in the USA.
