The Three Cents coin was produced by the United States mint from 1851 to 1889, primarily to facilitate small transactions. Patterns and trial coins, such as those from 1865, were experimental pieces created to test new designs or changes in coin specifications. These items are highly sought after by collectors due to their unique historical significance and relative rarity. Collectors value these coins not only for their numismatic qualities but also for the stories they tell about the era's economic and cultural context.
