Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States, encompass various types including patterns, which are often experimental designs created to test new coinage. The PH10c, known as a pattern for a proposed ten-cent piece, was produced in 1870 as part of the United States' efforts to modernize its currency. Patterns are typically much rarer than regular circulation coins, and the 1870 PH10c is of particular interest to collectors due to its historical significance and limited availability. These types of coins are often sought after for their artistic and historical value, making them key pieces in numismatic collections.
