Collectible coins are often categorized by their historical significance, rarity, and demand among collectors. The term "Patterns" refers to trial coins or experimental designs created by the U.S. Mint that were not intended for circulation. In 1878, notable Pattern coins were produced, particularly involving innovations in minting techniques and designs related to the silver dollar. The "P 10" designation likely refers to a specific pattern coin known among collectors, highlighting its unique attributes compared to standard issues.
