Collectible coins in the United States include various denominations, among which the five-cent nickel and half dime are notable. The half dime, minted until 1873, served as a form of currency before the nickel became the primary five-cent piece. Patterns and trial coins, such as those produced in 1863 at the Philadelphia Mint, are experimental pieces created to test new designs or compositions. These coins are often sought after by collectors for their historical significance and rarity.
