Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including patterns and trial coins that serve as prototypes for future minting. One notable example is the 1882 five cents nickel, which was part of the U.S. mint's experimentation with coin designs. The half dime was a previous denomination that was gradually phased out in favor of the nickel. Pattern coins like the 1882 nickel were struck in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and rarity.
