Collectible coins, particularly in the context of the United States, encompass a diverse range of numismatic items, including those produced for circulation, commemorative purposes, and special editions. The 1/2 penny coin, proposed as a national issue in 1786, represents an early example of American currency in Philadelphia. Such items are often sought after by collectors due to their historical significance, rarity, and the artistry involved in their design and minting process. The United States has a rich numismatic history, with many coins reflecting the economic and cultural landscape of their respective eras.
