Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States, encompass a variety of types, including patterns, which are experimental designs not intended for circulation. The 1865 P 20, or the 20-cent piece, is a notable example of a pattern coin, reflecting the era's experimentation with denominations and minting technologies. These coins are sought after by collectors for their rarity, historical significance, and unique design features that often differ from standard issue coins.
