Patterns are experimental coins struck to test designs and compositions before official minting. One notable example is the 1885 Philadelphia Mint pattern coins, which were part of a series created to evaluate new designs for U.S. currency. These coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance in American numismatics, particularly those associated with the Philadelphia Mint.
