Collectible coins are often categorized based on rarity, historical significance, and unique characteristics. Patterns are specially struck coins created to test new designs or technologies before mass production, making them highly sought after by collectors. In the United States, one notable example is the 1810 pattern coinage, which reflects experimentation in design and provides insight into the numismatic practices of the time. These coins can command high premiums due to their limited availability and historical context within American coinage.
