U.S. Patterns

Due to their unique design, U.S. pattern coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their scarcity and beauty. Originally minted in silver, copper and other rare alloys, these coins were produced as possible contenders for regular coinage but were never officially adopted by the government. However, many of the design features found on these pattern coins still appear today on some standard-issue coins, making them highly desirable for those interested in numismatics. Some of these pieces boast intricate designs that make them even more interesting and rare; adding to the charm and value for any collector.
