Collectible coins, particularly patterns, are unique pieces that represent experimental designs or compositions never released for general circulation. The 1884 Philadelphia patterns are notable examples, showcasing alternate versions of coins that were proposed but not minted for public use. These coins are highly prized among collectors for their rarity and historical significance, often featuring distinct design elements that differ from the final production coins. Patterns from the United States, especially those struck at the Philadelphia Mint, hold particular allure due to their limited availability and the insight they provide into the coinage process of the era.
