Collectible coins, particularly within the United States, encompass a wide variety of types, including patterns, which are experimental coins struck to test designs or minting techniques before an official release. The P5c refers to a specific 5-cent pattern coin from 1875, characterized by its unique design that differs from standard issues of the time. Patterns like the P5c are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance, often representing pivotal moments in the evolution of U.S. coinage.
