Collectible coins are tangible items of historical and artistic value that often hold significance for numismatists. The term "Patterns" refers to experimental coins produced to test designs or compositions before mass production, often characterized by their rarity. An example is the 1868 Pattern coin, struck in Philadelphia, which features distinct design elements and serves as an important piece in U.S. numismatic history, particularly among collectors focused on pre-20th century American coinage. Patterns like the 1868 are highly sought after due to their limited availability and unique characteristics.
