Patterns are experimental or test coins created in the United States to evaluate new designs, compositions, or technologies before official production. The term "P1c" refers specifically to the coinage patterns, often associated with various denominations. The 1874 patterns, including those for the cent and other denominations, are notable for their unique designs and limited mintage, making them highly sought after by collectors. These coins exemplify the numismatic history and the evolution of American coinage during that period.
