Collectible coins include a variety of types such as historical, commemorative, and numismatic issues. In the United States, after the nation's founding in 1776, there were numerous private and regional coin designs produced, alongside official federal issues. The 1787 coinage is particularly notable as it often reflects the early numismatic designs that predate the Mint's establishment. The 1/2 penny was a fraction coin, commonly minted in various forms, including private issues in cities like Philadelphia, which was a significant center for early American coinage.
