Collectible coins in the United States encompass a wide range of types, including those minted for circulation and special issues produced for collectors. The 1/2 penny, often referred to as the Half Penny, was used in various capacities, particularly before its discontinuation as legal tender. Following the establishment of the U.S. in 1776, the coinage landscape evolved, including post-1776 private and regional issues that reflect local economies and policies. The year 1783 marks significant milestones in U.S. coinage history, coinciding with the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, while Philadelphia gained prominence as a key minting location.
