Collectible coins, particularly in the United States, encompass various types, including patterns, which are experimental designs created to test new coinage before full production. The 1858 patterns are notable for their significance in numismatic history, as they showcase innovative designs that were not ultimately adopted for circulation. These coins often feature unique motifs and are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical importance, representing a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of American coinage.
