Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including patterns, which are trial or prototype coins created to test designs and compositions. One notable example is the 1874 Philadelphia Pattern coins, struck for evaluation of potential designs for U.S. currency. These coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance, as they represent the evolution of American coinage during the 19th century. The "P" mintmark typically indicates coins minted in Philadelphia, which was the main mint facility during that period.
