Patterns are experimental coins struck to test new designs, compositions, or manufacturing methods before official production. In the United States, patterns were commonly produced in the 19th century, including notable examples from 1860. These coins are often created in small quantities, making them highly collectible. The 1860 patterns particularly feature innovative designs that reflect the artistic and technical advancements of the era, making them of significant interest to numismatists and historians alike.
