Collectible coins encompass a wide variety of types, including historical pieces, regional issues, and private tokens. In the United States, prior to 1776, the coinage was influenced by colonial powers and included various private and regional issues. The 1/2 Penny, often produced by British colonies, is one such example from the era. Coins minted in 1766 would reflect the economic conditions and trade practices of the time, making them significant to collectors interested in pre-Revolutionary American history.
