The Three Cent coin, issued by the United States, was produced in two main varieties: the Three Cent Silver (1851-1873) and the Three Cent Nickel (1865-1889). Patterns and trial coins, such as those minted in 1865 in Philadelphia, were experimental pieces created to test new designs, materials, or denominations. These patterns are highly collectible due to their limited mintage and historical significance within U.S. numismatics.
