Collectible coins refer to numismatic items that are sought after for their historical, aesthetic, or intrinsic value. The United States coinage system underwent significant changes after the Declaration of Independence in 1776, reflecting the evolving economic and political landscape. The 1/2 penny coins, particularly those minted around 1787, are examples of early American coinage, showcasing designs and inscriptions that symbolize the nascent nation's identity. These coins often attract collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
