Collectible coins, particularly patterns, are issues that serve as trial pieces for new designs or specifications. The P25c refers to the 25-cent pattern coins created in 1859 at the Philadelphia Mint. These patterns were designed to test public and governmental reception before adopting new coinage into circulation. The 1859 P25c patterns are notable for their rarity and historical significance as they reflect early experimentation in U.S. coin design.
