Collectible coins include various categories such as patterns and trial coins, which are experimental issues created to test designs, compositions, or production techniques prior to official minting. One notable type is the Fifty Cents coin, a denomination often associated with U.S. iconic designs like the Seated Liberty or Walking Liberty. The year 1838 is significant for the introduction of the Seated Liberty design, which became widely collected. Patterns and trial coins from this era, including those designated with "N A" (not available), are particularly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
