Collectible coins, particularly from the United States, encompass a wide range of types, including patterns, which are experimental coin designs created before official minting. The "P 10" refers to a specific pattern coin produced in 1862, which is noted for its unique attributes and historical significance. These coins were often struck to test new designs or metals and can be highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and connection to American numismatic history. The 1862 patterns showcase the artistic and technological advancements of the era.
