The 1868 Patterns are a series of experimental coins that were created as part of the U.S. Mint's effort to test new designs and denominations. The PH10c, or Pattern Half Dime of 1868, is an example of these coins, which were not issued for circulation but rather struck for evaluation by Mint officials and collectors. These coins often feature unique designs that differ from issued currency and are typically highly sought after by numismatists due to their limited mintage and historical significance within American coinage.
