Collectible coins, particularly patterns, are trial pieces or experimental coins created to test new designs, denominations, or minting techniques before final production. The 1876 Patterns from the United States are significant as they represent the experimentation during the centennial year of American independence. The "P 10" designation refers to a specific type of experimental coin that may include various designs or compositions, often sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical importance. These coins are part of a broader numismatic interest in unique examples of American coinage.
