The coin described is a unique piece from the series of Patterns and Trial Coins minted in the United States. Specifically, this is a 10-cent denomination piece, often referred to as a dime, which bears the year 1875. It was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, a historic site known for its significant contributions to US coinage. This particular coin is categorized as a Proof, indicating it was made using a special minting process that results in high-quality, mirror-like surfaces, typical of coins intended for collectors. The coin has no mint mark, suggesting it was produced prior to the common practice of denoting mint locations on coins. The designer of the coin is noted as "N/A," which could imply a lack of formal recognition or that it was designed under circumstances where typical attributions were not recorded. In terms of specifications, the coin’s dimensions (width, height, and diameter) and weight are recorded as zero, which may indicate a lack of available physical data or that it is a conceptual or trial piece rather than a fully struck coin. The material is classified as "Other," and its mintage is listed as zero, reinforcing the notion that this coin might be a unique pattern trial without any mass production. The currency associated with this coin is the US dollar, and it represents a currency amount of 10 cents. As a collectible piece, the value of such patterns and trial coins can vary significantly based on rarity and demand in the numismatic community, making this 1875 dime an intriguing object for collectors and historians alike.
