Collectible coins are items of numismatic interest due to their historical significance, rarity, and aesthetic appeal. Patterns are trial strikes made to test new designs before official production; the 1867 Pattern coins, specifically struck in Philadelphia, are considered particularly rare and valuable. These coins demonstrate innovative designs that may not have been adopted for circulation, enhancing their allure among collectors and historians. In the context of the United States, patterns like these serve as crucial pieces of the numismatic puzzle, reflecting the evolution of coinage and design philosophy in American history.
