Die and Hub Trials and Splashers are specialized types of collectible coins used to test the engraving and striking processes in minting. Die trials involve creating samples to assess the quality of a new die or hub, while splashers, often struck without a planchet or with minimal pressure, showcase experimental designs or minting techniques. These items are typically produced in limited numbers, making them highly sought after by collectors for their unique characteristics and historical significance within numismatics.
