Collectible coins are often categorized by their historical significance, rarity, condition, and unique design features. In the United States, one notable type is the "Patterns," which refers to experimental coin designs created by the Philadelphia Mint. These coins were struck in limited quantities, typically to test new designs before official production. An example is the 1876 Philadelphia Pattern coin, which is particularly valued among collectors for its unique attributes and connection to American numismatic history. The "P" denotes the Philadelphia Mint, where these specimens were produced.
