There are several arguments against this classification: Mintage Pattern coins are experimental pieces that are made in very limited quantities… -

Some of you may frown upon this die trial "coin" but the island's history is most definitely American - including a First Lady! Enjoy Note: The fascinating article which follows is from Hamptons.com.
