Coins are numismatic items that are struck primarily for currency use; however, collectible coins can serve as investments or commemorative artifacts. In the United States, collectible coins include a variety of types, such as DT 50, which refers to a specific designation of die trials that are produced to test and refine designs before final production. Patterns, or die trials, are experimental coins that showcase alternative designs or compositions, often produced in limited quantities for the purpose of evaluation, and they are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
