In the realm of collectible coins, patterns refer to experimental or test pieces that were created to evaluate design concepts before finalizing a coin's production. The 1868 Philadelphia Patterns are notable examples, as they were struck to explore potential designs for the U.S. coinage system. These coins often feature unique motifs or variations from standard issues and are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance. The 1868 patterns exemplify the innovative processes of the U.S. Mint during that period, making them valuable additions to any collection of American numismatics.
