Collectible coins can encompass a wide range of types, including historical pieces, commemorative coins, and patterns. Patterns are experimental coins created to test new designs or compositions before official production; one notable example includes the 1849 patterns minted in Philadelphia. These patterns were significant due to their connection to the early gold rush and the establishment of the United States' coinage system. Collectors often seek out these unique pieces for their historical context and numismatic rarity.
