The 1875 P 20 Patterns are a series of experimental coins that were struck during the production of the twenty-cent piece in the United States. These patterns were created to test designs before official minting and provide insights into design features and specifications. The coins often feature unique motifs or variations not found on standard issues, making them highly sought after by collectors. The 1875 P 20 Patterns exemplify the transitional phase in U.S. coinage and are significant in numismatic history for their rarity and significance in the evolution of American coins.
