coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ $3 (Three Dollars) \ Patterns & Trial Coins \ 1866 \ N/A
Collectible coins, particularly from the United States, include various types such as patterns and trial coins, which were often produced for testing new designs or minting processes. The three-dollar coin, introduced in 1854, was minted mainly in gold and has become a sought-after collectible. The year 1866 is significant in U.S. numismatics due to the adoption of the motto "In God We Trust" on certain coins, reflecting changes in design and public sentiment post-Civil War. Patterns and trial coins often carry high premiums among collectors due to their rarity and unique characteristics, making them desirable items in the numismatic market.
