Collectible coins, particularly from the United States, encompass a variety of types and categories, including patterns, which are experimental coins created to test new designs or denominations before official minting. The 1873 Philadelphia pattern coins are significant due to their unique designs that often differ from the final issued coins. These patterns were part of the U.S. Mint's efforts to innovate and refine currency, making them highly sought after by collectors for their historical and aesthetic value. The PH10c designation refers to specific ten-cent patterns from that year, which are rare and valuable in the numismatic market.
