Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including patterns, which are trial strikes intended to test designs or compositions before official minting. One notable example is the 1883 P5c pattern coin from the Philadelphia Mint, which features a unique design not used in standard circulation. These patterns are often highly sought after by numismatists due to their rarity and the historical significance of their designs in U.S. coinage. Collectible coins can range from ancient artifacts to modern issues, each with its own significance and value based on factors such as rarity, demand, and condition.
