Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including ancient coins, bullion coins, and more recent commemorative issues. The 1/2 penny, specifically within the context of the United States, refers to the British colonial coinage used prior to American independence in 1776. Pre-1776 states coinage includes coins minted by the individual colonies, such as the 1773 issues, which were often designed with specific local insignia and served as an important medium of exchange in colonial America. These coins are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and connection to the early period of American history.
