The 1891 P50c, also known as the 50-cent pattern coin, is a notable piece in U.S. numismatics. Patterns are experimental coins struck to test designs or compositions before official minting, and the 1891 P50c exemplifies this, featuring unique designs that differ from standard circulation coins. Collectors value such pieces for their rarity and historical significance, as they provide insight into the minting process and design evolution of American coinage.
