coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ DT$5 \ Patterns & Die Trials \ 1860 \ Salt Lake City, Utah
Collectible coins include a variety of types such as patterns, die trials, and official currency issues. In the context of United States coins, the 1860 Die Trials (DT) represent a phase in the coin design process, where test strikes are made to evaluate new designs and dies. The Salt Lake City mint was not established until later, but during this period, coins related to Utah's early settlement and eventual statehood hold historical significance among collectors. Patterns are particularly valued for their rarity and connection to pivotal moments in numismatic history.
