Collectible coins often encompass various types, including patterns, which are test pieces created to evaluate designs before mass production. In the United States, patterns have historical significance, particularly from the year 1792, when the first coins were minted following the establishment of the Philadelphia Mint. The P25c refers to a specific pattern for the 25-cent piece, showcasing innovative designs that may never have been officially released into circulation. Such coins are highly sought after by numismatists due to their rarity and historical context within American coinage.
