Collectible coins are numismatic items valued for their rarity, history, artistic design, or the materials they are made from. In the United States, coins like the five-dollar gold pieces from the late 18th century, particularly those minted in 1795, are highly sought after. Patterns and trial coins from this era were experimental pieces created to test designs before mass production; they provide insight into the evolution of U.S. coinage. The Philadelphia Mint was a primary facility for producing these early coins, making it significant in the history of American numismatics.
