Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including historical coins, error coins, and modern commemoratives. In the United States, collectible coins from the post-1776 era include half cents and early regional or private issues, which were often minted by local authorities or private entities. Notable examples include coins minted in 1788, reflecting the early years of American independence and the establishment of a national currency system. These items are sought after for their historical significance, rarity, and condition.
