Collectible coins, particularly those produced by the United States Mint, encompass various categories, including patterns, which are experimental designs created to test new concepts before final production. The 1876 Philadelphia Mint patterns are notably significant, coinciding with the centennial of the nation, and include variations of the 50-cent denomination, often referred to by their mintmark, such as "P" for Philadelphia. These patterns are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical context and limited mintage, making them rare and valuable in numismatic circles.
