In the realm of collectible coins, the United States nickel, particularly the 5-cent denomination introduced in 1866, has a significant following. The Half Dime, produced until 1873, served as a precursor to the nickel, featuring silver content. Trial coins or patterns, like those minted in 1875, represent experimental designs or compositions, often not intended for circulation. These patterns can wield considerable value among collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
