Patterns are experimental coins produced to test new designs or technologies before official minting. In the United States, the 1865 Pattern coins were created at the Philadelphia Mint as part of a series to evaluate potential changes in coinage. These pieces are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance, representing a unique aspect of numismatic history. The "P 10" designation refers to a specific pattern coin, often related to particular designs or denominations tested during that era.
