Patterns and die trials are specialized types of collectible coins often created to test new designs or minting techniques before official production. In the United States, these coins may feature designs that were never officially issued for circulation. The term "P 5" may refer to a specific pattern or die trial coin, typically indicating a particular series or set. Collectors value these items for their rarity and historical significance, as they represent the evolution of coin design and minting processes.
