The 1876 P10c, also known as the 10-cent pattern, is an example specific to the United States, showcasing the country's numismatic experimentation during that era. These types of coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance, often reflecting pivotal moments in the evolution of U.S. coinage.
