Collectible coins, particularly in the United States, encompass a variety of types, including patterns, which are experimental coin designs created to evaluate new concepts before final production. The 1872 Philadelphia Patterns are notable for showcasing innovative designs and metal compositions that were not ultimately adopted for regular coinage. These patterns often attract significant interest from collectors due to their rarity and historical significance in U.S. coinage evolution. Collectible coins can range from widely circulated items to unique specimens, with values that can vary dramatically based on factors such as condition, rarity, and demand.
