Collectible coins refer to coins that are valued for their rarity, historical significance, or unique features rather than their face value. The United States has produced various types of collectible coins, including patterns—trial pieces struck to test new designs or methods—such as the Pattern 1871 coin minted in Philadelphia. The use of "P" typically indicates coins minted in Philadelphia, the primary mint of the U.S., which has a rich history of producing numerous sought-after issues.
