The 1876 ten-cent dime, part of a series of patterns and trial coins produced by the United States Mint, is a notable collectible for numismatists. These trial coins were created to evaluate new designs and features before mass production. While the standard dimes were struck in regular circulation, the patterns like the 1876 version are often distinguished by their unique attributes and lower mintages, contributing to their desirability and value among collectors. The 1876 dime can showcase variations that highlight the Mint's experimentation during that era.
