Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including historical, commemorative, and bullion coins. The United States has a rich numismatic history, with early coinage dating post-1776, reflecting the nation’s evolving economy and values. The 1787 coins, such as the Fugio cent, were among the first official issues after independence. Many collectible coins were minted in Philadelphia, the nation's first mint, which played a pivotal role in producing early U.S. coinage and setting the standard for future minting practices. The 1 and 2 penny (half penny) denominations were commonly circulated, showcasing early American designs and symbolism.
