Collectible coins, particularly within the realm of United States numismatics, come in various types, including patterns and special editions. Patterns are coins struck to test new designs or changes before mass production; they are often produced in limited quantities and can be highly sought after by collectors. The 1838 patterns, especially the famous Seated Liberty designs, are notable for their historical significance and scarcity, making them a desirable addition to many collections.
