Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including patterns, which are experimental issues created to test designs before mass production. The United States has a rich history of collectible coins, with notable examples dating back to 1795, the year of the first official U.S. gold coins. The P50c, or 50-cent piece, represents a specific denomination that is often sought after by collectors, especially rare or unique variants. Patterns from the 1795 era are particularly valued for their historical significance and limited mintage.
