Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including historical, commemorative, and numismatic pieces. One prominent example is the Indian Cent, which was minted in the United States from 1859 to 1909, featuring a Native American head design. The 1862 Indian Cent is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and the only year it was produced in the Civil War era. The penny, also known as the one cent coin, is a staple in U.S. coinage and has various collectible versions that reflect changes in design and minting techniques over time.
