Collectible coins are often categorized based on their historical significance, rarity, and condition. In the United States, one notable type is the 1795 coinage, which includes early issues struck in Philadelphia, the nation's first mint. Coins from this era, particularly patterns and limited mintages, hold considerable value among collectors. The "P" mintmark denotes coins minted in Philadelphia, making them particularly sought after by numismatists. Patterns, which are prototype coins produced to test designs, are especially rare and may command high prices at auctions.
