Collectible coins refer to various types of currency sought after by numismatists, often due to their rarity, historical significance, or unique characteristics. In the United States, specific collectible coins include the 1873 Philadelphia Mint patterns, which are experimental coin designs created to evaluate new coinage concepts. The "P" designation, such as P10, indicates a specific pattern variety within the broader category of these trial pieces. Collectors focus on such patterns due to their limited issuance and the insights they provide into the evolution of American coinage.
