The Three Cents coin, also known as the three-cent piece, was minted in the United States from 1851 to 1889. Among the notable issues are various patterns and trial coins, particularly from the year 1874, which were produced in Philadelphia. These trial coins were created to test new designs and compositions, and they often hold significant interest for collectors due to their rarity and historical context. Patterns, especially in the realm of numismatics, serve as a glimpse into the evolving designs and concepts of U.S. coinage during the 19th century.
