Collectible coins encompass a wide range of items, including historical, commemorative, and bullion coins. In the United States, coins issued after 1776 include various denominations and minting techniques, featuring both federal issues and private or regional varieties. The 1796 coinage represents some of the earliest circulating currency in the U.S., including the first official mint issues from the Philadelphia Mint. The 1/2p Half Penny is a notable example of smaller denominations, reflective of the broader circulation patterns and economic needs of the time, but generally not part of the official U.S. minting.
