Collectible coins, particularly in the context of the United States, include various types such as patterns, which are experimental or test pieces created to evaluate new designs or formats for coinage. The 1874 P-20 pattern coin is notable for its rarity and significance in numismatic history, as it reflects innovative design efforts during a period of transition in U.S. coinage. Patterns are highly sought after by collectors due to their limited mintage and unique characteristics, making them valuable additions to numismatic collections.
