Trial coins, also known as patterns, refer to experimental coin designs created to test new concepts or changes in currency. The 1834 trial coins from Philadelphia were part of an effort to adjust the weight and composition of gold coins in the United States. These coins often feature unique designs and can be quite rare, making them highly sought after by collectors. The coins provide insight into the evolution of U.S. currency and the minting process during that period.
