Collectible coins include various types such as patterns, commemoratives, and mint errors, each with unique significance and value. Patterns are specifically struck to test designs or proposed changes and are often produced in limited quantities. The 1867 pattern coins represent a notable example from the United States, particularly known for their rarity and historical context, reflecting the experimentation during that era in American coinage. Collectors seek these coins for their artistic merit and investment potential, with demand often driven by their historical relevance and limited availability.
