Collectible coins, particularly from the United States, encompass a wide range of types, including patterns, which are experimental designs created to test new coinage ideas before official production. The P10c from the 1873 series, often referred to as a pattern coin, is notable for its unique design features and historical context. Patterns are typically produced in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and significance in numismatic history. The 1873 P10c reflects the evolving standards of coin design in the United States during that period.
