Die and Hub Trials and Splashers are experimental strikes used in the coin minting process. These types of coins were created to test dies and hubs before they were employed in the production of regular coins. In 1820, such trials were significant in the United States as they helped ensure quality and precision in the minting of currency. Collectors often value these pieces for their historical importance and the insight they provide into the minting techniques of the time.
