In collectible coins, patterns refer to trial strikes or prototypes that are not intended for circulation. The P50c, or 50-cent pattern coin from the United States in 1863, is part of a series of experimental designs created during a time of transition in U.S. coinage. These patterns often feature unique designs and are considered highly collectible due to their limited availability and historical significance. The 1863 P50c reflects the evolving nature of American currency during the Civil War era.
