Collectible coins encompass various types, including patterns, which are experimental pieces struck to test designs before final production. In the United States, patterns are particularly significant for collectors due to their rarity and the historical context they provide. The P3C refers to a specific designation within the pattern coin series. An example includes the 1875 pattern coins, which exemplify unique designs and are sought after for their artistic value and limited mintage, making them prized items in numismatic collections.
