Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including patterns, which are experimental designs produced to test new coinage ideas before mass production. The P25c, or 25-cent piece, refers to the quarter dollar denomination in circulating U.S. coinage. In 1866, the Philadelphia Mint issued several patterns, which are highly sought after by numismatists for their historical significance and rarity. Patterns from this period often showcase innovative designs that contributed to the evolution of U.S. coinage.
