Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States, encompass a wide range of types, including commemorative coins, pre-1933 gold coins, and rare varieties. Patterns, like those from the 1870 Philadelphia Mint, represent trial strikes created to test new designs or modifications before mass production. The significance of these patterns often lies in their rarity and historical context within American coinage, making them highly sought after by collectors. Patterns from this era, especially those with limited mintage, can command high values in the numismatic market.
