In the realm of collectible coins, patterns refer to specially struck coins that are typically made in small quantities to test new designs or modifications to existing coins before they are mass-produced. The 1891 Pattern 10-cent coin (P10c) is an example from the United States that features distinctive design characteristics and is often sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance. These coins can vary in composition, design elements, and intended applications, making them unique additions to numismatic collections.
