Collectible coins are often categorized into various types based on their historical significance, rarity, and condition. The United States has produced numerous collectible coins, with notable examples including patterns, which are trial pieces or prototypes that were created to test new designs or changes in metal composition. The year 1792 is particularly significant as it marks the establishment of the U.S. Mint and the creation of the first official coins. These early pieces, especially patterns from that era, are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical importance and limited availability.
