The P50c coin refers to a type of pattern coin from the United States, specifically designed in 1885. Pattern coins are experimental or trial pieces that are created to test designs or compositions before official minting. The 1885 P50c is especially notable among collectors for its unique design and historical significance, often characterized by its limited mintage and distinct artistic elements that differ from circulating currency. Collectibility is enhanced by its rarity and the context of its creation during a period of transition in U.S. coinage.
