Collectible coins, particularly in the United States, encompass a variety of types, including patterns, which are trial pieces struck to test designs or compositions before official minting. The 1884 P5c, a pattern for the five-cent coin, is notable for its unique design and limited mintage, making it highly sought after by collectors. Patterns often feature distinctive characteristics that differentiate them from regular issue coins, adding to their allure and value in numismatic circles.
