Collectible coins, specifically pattern coins like the 1879 P25c, represent experimental designs created to test new motifs and compositions before official minting. The 1879 P25c is a pattern for a quarter dollar that reflects the United States Mint's exploration of coin design during the late 19th century. These coins are often produced in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by collectors. Their rarity and historical significance can lead to substantial value in the numismatic market.
