Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including patterns, which are trial strikes or designs created before a coin is officially adopted for circulation. In the United States, the 1870 patterns are particularly notable, as they represent early attempts to innovate coin designs, often featuring unique motifs and variations not seen in standard circulation issues. The 25-cent coins from this era are of great interest to collectors, as they provide insights into the artistic and monetary trends of the time. Collecting these patterns requires a keen understanding of their historical context and rarity, making them highly sought after among enthusiasts.
