Collectible coins are specific types of coins that are sought after by numismatists and collectors due to their rarity, historical significance, or unique features. In the context of the United States, collectible coins include error coins, limited edition releases, and commemorative coins. The term "P 50P" typically refers to the 50-cent coins minted at the Philadelphia Mint, while "Patterns" and "Die Trials" refer to experimental or prototype coins created to test new designs or engraving techniques before mass production. These patterns can be highly valuable and desirable among collectors due to their rarity and the insight they provide into the minting process.
