Collectible coins encompass various categories, including historical issues, contemporary commemoratives, and regional or private mints. Specifically, the United States has a rich numismatic history with coins dating back to before 1776, featuring private and regional issues that reflect the economic and cultural contexts of the time. The 1722 Half Penny, for example, is significant for collectors, highlighting early American currency and the transition towards a unified monetary system. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical value, rarity, and the stories they represent.
