Collectible coins, such as those from the United States of America, often include notable types like patterns, which are trial strikes made to test designs before final production. The 1874 Philadelphia Mint issued several pattern coins, including the famous "P" series, which are sought after by numismatists for their historical significance and rarity. These coins serve as valuable examples of the mint's experimentation with design and composition during that era.
