In the realm of collectible coins, "Patterns" refer to trial strikes or experimental coins produced to test new designs or compositions before mass production. The 1876 Patterns are notable examples, created in the context of U.S. coinage as the nation explored various designs for its currency. Collectors highly value these coins due to their rarity, historical significance, and the insight they provide into the evolving design philosophy of the United States Mint during that period. The term "P20c" may refer to a specific designation or cataloging system identifying certain collectible coins within the numismatic community.
