Collectible coins, specifically the 10 cents dime from the United States, are a popular category among numismatists. The 1874 dime includes a variety known as trial coins or patterns, which were struck to test new designs or minting techniques. These trial pieces are often produced in limited quantities and can carry significant value due to their rarity. The 1874 dime pattern represents a unique aspect of U.S. coinage history, highlighting experimentation in design before final releases.
