Collectible coins encompass a variety of categories, including historical coins, numismatic rarities, commemoratives, and patterns. The term "patterns" refers to experimental coins created to test new designs or denominations before official production. In the United States, the 1871 Philadelphia patterns, specifically the P 20 type, are noteworthy examples. These coins were struck as prototypes and are highly sought after by collectors due to their limited mintage and unique designs reflecting the artistic innovation of the era.
