coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ DT$2 1/2 \ Patterns & Die Trials
Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including those issued by the United States. In the U.S., patterns are specially struck coins created to test new designs or denominations before official minting. Die trials, on the other hand, are experimental strikes made to examine the quality and functionality of new dies. Both patterns and die trials are typically produced in small quantities and are highly sought after by collectors, often commanding significant premiums due to their rarity and historical significance.
