In the realm of collectible coins, patterns are experimental pieces struck by mints to test designs before mass production. The 1872 P50c, known as the "Assay Commission" coin, was produced in Philadelphia and is notable for its rarity and unique design elements. Such coins often attract numismatists due to their historical significance and limited mintage. Collectors value patterns for their role in the evolution of U.S. coinage and their aesthetic appeal.
