Collectible coins include various types such as patterns, which are experimental coins created to test designs before mass production. One notable example is the 1871 P25c (25-cent) pattern coin, minted in the United States of America, showcasing unique design features that distinguish it from regular coinage. These coins are highly sought after by numismatists due to their rarity, historical significance, and the insight they provide into the minting process of the time.
