Collectible coins refer to numismatic items that are sought after by collectors for their historical significance, rarity, or aesthetic appeal. In the United States, collectible coins can include a variety of types, such as patterns, which are experimental or trial coins produced to test designs or manufacturing processes. The 1867 P 5 is an example of a pattern coin, specifically a five-cent piece that exemplifies early American coinage experimentation. These coins are often valued for their uniqueness, limited mintage, and the context in which they were created.
