Collectible coins encompass a wide range of types, including patterns and trial coins, which are often produced to test designs or minting processes. In the United States, trial coins from 1838, such as the famous “Seated Liberty” designs, were created to evaluate new designs before full production. These trial pieces are typically struck in small quantities, making them highly sought after by collectors. Their rarity and historical significance contribute to their value in the numismatic market.
