Collectible coins encompass various categories, including patterns, which are trial pieces created to test designs and compositions before official minting. The P50c, or 50-cent pattern coin, from 1866 represents an example of early American numismatic innovation. These coins were minted in Philadelphia and often reflect unique designs that were never mass-produced. Patterns like the P50c are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
