Collectible coins serve as a fascinating intersection of history, art, and finance, appealing to numismatists and investors alike. The United States five cents coin, commonly known as the nickel, has undergone various designs and materials since its introduction. The half dime was a small denomination coin produced in the U.S. before the nickel was established. Pattern coins, such as those manufactured in 1875 in Philadelphia, were experimental issues that tested new designs or compositions but were not intended for circulation. Trial coins are similar and were created to assess the feasibility of a coin's design or functionality before mass production.
