Collectible coins encompass various types, including patterns, which are test pieces struck to evaluate designs before minting regular coins. The 1862 patterns from the United States are particularly noteworthy as they represent proposed designs for coins during the Civil War era. These pieces often feature unique designs and can be highly sought after by numismatists for their historical significance and rarity. Patterns from this period may include denominations that were ultimately never produced in large quantities, further enhancing their collectible value.
