Collectible coins include various types such as patterns, which are experimental coins created to test designs before they are mass-produced. The 1859 patterns in the United States represent an important category, showcasing designs that were never officially adopted for circulation. These coins are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and rarity, often featuring unique artistic elements that distinguish them from regular issue coins. Collectors value these patterns not only for their monetary worth but also for their representation of numismatic artistry and innovation during that period.
