Collectible coins, also known as numismatic coins, encompass various types that hold value beyond their face value. The United States' 1 One Cent Penny, particularly the Fugio cents minted in 1787, is one of the earliest coins produced by the U.S. government. Designed by Benjamin Franklin, the Fugio cent features a sunburst design with the word "Fugio," translating to "I fly," which reflects the urgency of time. These coins are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and rarity.
