Collectible coins refer to numismatic items that are valued for their historical significance, rarity, and aesthetic appeal rather than their face value. In the context of the United States, collectible coins can include a variety of types, such as patterns, which are experimental or prototype coins created to test designs or specifications before mass production. The 1884 coin patterns are particularly notable, as they were part of the series of designs proposed during that era, showcasing artistic innovation and reflecting the historical context of the time. These patterns often command high values among collectors due to their limited availability and significance in American numismatics.
