Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including patterns, which are experimental or prototype coins made to test designs or minting techniques. The 1868 Philadelphia Mint patterns are notable examples, as they were produced in limited quantities and showcase artistic variations intended for future coinage. These coins often hold significant historical and monetary value for collectors, especially those related to the United States of America. The āPā mintmark indicates coins produced at the Philadelphia Mint, further contributing to their collectibility.
