Collectible coins, often referred to as numismatic coins, can span various categories, including historical, commemorative, and rare coins. The term "United States of America" typically pertains to coins minted by the U.S. Mint, which are highly sought after by collectors. The "1 2 SM" likely refers to specific designations or abbreviations used in numismatics that may indicate size or grading. Coins from the French New World, specifically from around 1740 and minted in Paris, may hold historical significance and may appeal to collectors interested in colonial history or French numismatics.
