Collectible coins are often categorized into various types, including patterns, which are experimental or trial coins made to test designs before official minting. An example is the 1882 pattern coins struck in Philadelphia, intended to evaluate designs for future currency. These coins, often referred to as "patterns," can be quite rare and valuable due to their limited production and historical significance in American numismatics.
