Collectible coins are a category of numismatic items that can include various types, such as patterns, which are trial or experimental coins created to test designs or minting processes. The 1879 Patterns from the Philadelphia Mint are significant examples within American numismatics, as they were produced as part of a series to evaluate new designs for U.S. currency. These coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical importance in the evolution of coinage in the United States.
