Collectible coins encompass a wide range of types, including patterns, which are trial pieces created to test designs and formats before mass production. The 1857 Patterns from Philadelphia are notable examples of this genre, representing transitional phases in U.S. coinage. These pieces often feature distinctive designs and are highly sought after by collectors due to their uniqueness and historical significance. The issuance of such patterns was part of the U.S. Mint's efforts to refine coin production during that era.
