Collectible coins, such as patterns, are experimental coins produced to test new designs or technologies before official minting. The 1863 Philadelphia-pattern coin, specifically the P25c (a 25-cent piece), represents a unique and rare category of numismatic items that are sought after by collectors. Patterns often differ significantly from their eventual production counterparts in design and composition, making them valuable for their historical significance and rarity. The United States has a rich history of producing patterns, particularly during times of change in currency design.
