Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States of America, include a variety of types, such as patterns, which are experimental coins created to test new designs or compositions before official production. The 1885-P coin patterns are a noteworthy example, as they represent attempts to innovate American coinage during that era. Patterns are often produced in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by numismatists. The rarity and historical significance of these pieces contribute to their value in the collectible market.
