Collectible coins are typically categorized into various types, including patterns, which are experimental pieces created to test designs before final production. In the United States, the Philadelphia mint produced several notable patterns in the 19th century, including those from 1885. These coins, often struck in limited quantities, are sought after by collectors for their historical significance, rarity, and aesthetic appeal. The 1885 patterns are particularly valuable due to their limited availability and the intricacies of their designs, reflecting the evolving artistry of American coinage.
