1849 - Coins

The 1849 DT 5, often referred to as a Die Trial or Pattern coin, is a unique example from the early era of U.S. minting. It was created as a test piece to evaluate potential designs and techniques for coinage. These types of coins were typically produced in limited numbers and are sought after by collectors for their rarity and historical significance, reflecting the transitional phase of American coin design during the mid-19th century. The 1849 patterns are particularly notable due to their connection with the inception of the gold rush era in the United States.
