Collectible coins, particularly within the context of the United States, encompass a variety of types including patterns, which are experimental designs created to test new concepts before official minting. One notable example of a pattern coin is the 1885 design, which was part of an effort to modernize U.S. currency. These coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance, often characterized by unique features that differentiate them from standard issue coins. The 1885 pattern reflects the era's artistic ingenuity and shifting monetary policies within the United States.
