Collectible coins are typically categorized into various types, including patterns, trial coins, and historical pieces. Patterns are experimental coins struck to test new designs or compositions, often not issued for general circulation. Trial coins refer to pieces created to assess striking techniques or metal qualities before mass production. In the context of the United States, particularly around 1840, these types may feature unique designs and limited mintage, making them highly sought after by collectors.
