Collectible coins encompass a variety of types and categories that appeal to numismatists and collectors. The term "coins" generally refers to minted currency used for transactions, while "tokens" are often issued for specific purposes and lack legal tender status. In the context of the United States, coins and tokens can hold historical significance, such as the "Confederatio Related Tokens" from 1785, which were created during the period of the Articles of Confederation, reflecting the early formative years of American currency and governance. These tokens are notable for their designs, materials, and the socio-economic context of their issuance.
