1857 - Coins

Coin collecting encompasses various types, including die and hub trials, which are experimental pieces used in the minting process to test designs or techniques before final production. The term "DT 20" refers specifically to a category of such trials. In the context of United States coins, the year 1857 is notable as it marks significant changes in coinage, including the introduction of the famous Indian Head cent and ongoing production fluctuations during that era. Collectors often seek out these unique trials, known as "splashers," for their historical significance and rarity.
