Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including patterns, commemoratives, and historical issues. The 1804 silver dollar is one of the most renowned coins, often referred to as "The King of American Coins." It was originally struck as a pattern coin, and only a handful exist today, making it highly sought after by collectors. The "P" mintmark typically designates coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint, a significant location for U.S. coin production, particularly during the early 19th century. Patterns are trial coins created to test new designs or theories about coinage, and they are usually produced in limited quantities, adding to their collectibility.
