Collectible coins encompass a wide variety of categories, including patterns, which are test or experimental pieces struck to evaluate a design before mass production. One notable example is the 1869 Philadelphia pattern coin, produced by the United States Mint, specifically the ten-cent (10c) denomination. These patterns were created to gauge the public's and officials' response to new designs and can be highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
