Collectible coins, particularly in the context of U.S. numismatics, include a variety of types such as patterns, which are experimental coins struck to test designs or concepts before final production. The 1878 Patterns, specifically from the Philadelphia Mint, are examples of these trial pieces that often feature unique features or modifications compared to regular circulation coins. These items are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance, with the Philadelphia Mint being a key site for many of these important pieces in American coinage history.
