Collectible coins encompass a wide array of types, including patterns, which are trial strikes used to test design concepts before mass production. One notable example is the 1873 P5c pattern coin from Philadelphia, representing an experimental design for the five-cent piece. These patterns are highly sought after by numismatists due to their rarity and historical significance, often featuring unique design elements that distinguish them from regular issue coins. The 1873 P5c is particularly noteworthy for its role in the evolution of U.S. coinage during that era.
