In the realm of collectible coins, patterns refer to experimental designs or prototypes that were created to test new coinage concepts before official minting. The United States minted various patterns, with one notable example from 1866, which showcases designs produced at the Philadelphia Mint. These coins, intended as trial pieces, are often sought after by collectors due to their unique attributes and limited availability, making them a significant category within numismatics.
