The Patterns of 1874, produced in Philadelphia, are notable examples, showcasing unique designs that were never intended for circulation. The United States Mint created these pieces primarily for evaluation, making them highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance. Coins from this era often reflect artistic innovation and serve as a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of American coinage.
