Collectible coins, especially those from the United States, include various types such as patterns, which are experimental coins created to test new designs or technologies before mass production. The 1860 P 20 is an example of an American pattern coin, specifically a twenty-cent piece, which was never officially minted for circulation. Patterns like the 1860 P 20 are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance, often commanding high prices in the numismatic market.
