Collectible coins encompass various types, including patterns, which are trial pieces struck to test designs or compositions before mass production. The 1861 Pattern 25-cent coin from Philadelphia represents a significant historical item in U.S. numismatics, as it was part of the experimentation with design changes during a tumultuous period. Patterns are often rare and sought after by collectors due to their limited mintage and unique characteristics compared to standard coinage.
