Collectible coins encompass a wide range of categories, including patterns, which are trial pieces struck to test designs or production processes before finalizing coinage. The 1884 P 5 is a notable example as a pattern coin from the United States, representing a unique design that was not adopted for general circulation. Collectors often seek out such coins due to their rarity and historical significance, making them valuable within numismatic circles.
