Collectible coins are often categorized into various types based on their historical significance, design, rarity, and minting process. In the United States, notable collectible coins include patterns, which are trial pieces struck to test designs before official production. The 1896 P5c, a five-cent pattern coin, is particularly revered among numismatists for its unique design and limited mintage. These coins exemplify the artistry and innovation of their time, making them highly sought after in the collecting community.
