In the realm of collectible coins, the United States five-cent nickel and half dime are notable examples. The five-cent nickel, first minted in 1866, was designed to replace the half dime as a larger denomination. Trial coins and patterns from 1860 are particularly significant, representing experimental designs that were often not widely produced or circulated. These pieces provide insight into the evolution of U.S. coinage and are highly sought after by collectors for their historical and numismatic value.
