Collectible coins encompass a variety of categories, including patterns, which are trial strikes or prototypes intended to showcase designs before final production. The 1864 patterns, specifically, are notable examples from the United States that illustrate the transition in coinage design during that era. These coins often feature different imagery, compositions, or sizes compared to standard issues, making them highly sought after by collectors for their rarity and historical significance.
