Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including patterns and trial coins, which are often produced to test designs or minting techniques before full-scale production. In the United States, patterns can showcase unique designs that were never officially issued for circulation. The 1860 five-dollar Trial Coin represents a specific example of a pattern coin, highlighting the artistic and historical significance of minting experimentation during that era in U.S. numismatic history. Collectors often seek these rare coins for their aesthetic value and unique place in the progression of coinage.
