Patterns are experimental coins struck by mints to test new designs or compositions before official release. In the United States, the 1875 Pattern coins represent a notable group in numismatic history, showcasing innovative designs that did not enter circulation. These coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their unique characteristics and limited availability, often differing significantly from regular issue coins of the same era.
