Collectible coins, particularly within the context of the United States, include a variety of types such as patterns and trial coins, which are often produced as prototypes before the official release of a coin design.

Patterns are experimental coins created to assess design and composition, while trial coins serve as testing samples for minting processes. Collectors value these unique coins for their rarity and connection to numismatic history.
