Collectible coins encompass a wide variety of types, including historical, commemorative, and regional issues. Among U.S. coins, the 1/2 penny was used in early American currency, particularly in Philadelphia around the late 18th century. Post-1776, numerous private and regional issues emerged, reflecting local economies and historical contexts. The 1796 coins mark significant milestones in American numismatic history, particularly during the early years of the United States Mint. Collectors often focus on condition, rarity, and historical significance when valuing these coins.
