Collectible coins are items of numismatic interest that can vary based on rarity, historical significance, and condition. The United States minted a series of collectible coins, including patterns, which are experimental pieces struck to test new designs or compositions before full production. One notable example includes the 1876 Philadelphia Mint patterns, designed for the Centennial Exposition. The "P 5" refers to specific pattern coins featuring a design element, with limited mintage contributing to their collectible appeal.
