Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including patterns, which are experimental or trial strikes created to test designs or compositions before mass production. One notable example is the 1873 patterns struck in Philadelphia, intended for the new standard of coinage during that time. These patterns are highly sought after by numismatists due to their historical significance and rarity within the United States coinage.
