Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States, can include a variety of types such as patterns, which are experimental coin designs struck to test concepts before final production. The 1884 Philadelphia Patterns are notable examples, created as part of the coinage process to evaluate potential designs for future circulation coins. These pieces are often characterized by unique designs that differ from standard issue coins, making them highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance. The "P" mint mark indicates coins produced in Philadelphia, a primary minting location in the USA.
