Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including historical coins, commemoratives, and bullion. In the context of the United States, collectible coins include pieces minted since 1776, reflecting the nation’s history and economy. The 1/2 Penny coin, specifically from the post-1776 era, emerged in the late 18th century, with early coins like the 1785 issues representing the first attempts at a national currency as the states navigated their financial practices. Such pieces are sought after by collectors for their numismatic significance and historical context.
