Collectible coins are valuable items sought after by numismatists and collectors. These can include historical coins, commemorative issues, and precious metal coins. The United States Mint produces various collectible coins, including the American Silver Eagle, which features a design of Lady Liberty and is made of one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. The 2000 American Silver Eagle is part of a series that began in 1986 and remains popular among collectors for its aesthetic appeal and investment potential.
