Collectible coins refer to numismatic items that are sought after by collectors for their historical value, rarity, and aesthetic appeal. In the context of the United States, coins such as patterns play a significant role; these are coins that were produced as experimental pieces to test designs or manufacturing techniques. The 1869 patterns minted in Philadelphia are notable examples, as they were created to propose new designs for U.S. currency, with only a limited number of pieces struck, contributing to their rarity and demand among collectors.
