Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Cent "1884" (Pattern; aluminum) 1884 from the United States, made of aluminum, is a unique and interesting coin because it was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential new design. This coin is particularly rare and valuable because it was made of aluminum, a metal that was not commonly used in coinage at the time. Additionally, the 1884 date on the coin is a mistake, as the coin was actually minted in 1885, making it a rare error coin.
