Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States, encompass various types including patterns, which are prototypes or trial designs created to evaluate the aesthetic and functional qualities of a coin before mass production. The P25c, or 25-cent piece, includes notable examples, such as the patterns minted in 1872 at the Philadelphia Mint. These pattern coins are particularly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and unique designs that often differ from the standard circulating coins.
