Collectible coins, such as patterns, are experimental or prototype pieces struck to test designs or metals before the official currency is produced. The United States, particularly in Philadelphia, was known for minting these patterns, including the 1867 PH10c, which represents an early attempt at designing a ten-cent coin. These coins often exhibit unique features and may vary from the final production pieces, making them highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
