Collectible coins are items valued by numismatists, collectors, and investors for their historical significance, artistic design, and rarity. In the United States, notable types include the Braided Hair Cents, minted from 1839 to 1857, which feature a unique design of Liberty with braided hair. The $10 gold coin, commonly referred to as the eagle, was also produced during this period, with various designs representing the country’s numismatic evolution. The 1853 date marks a key transitional year for both pennies and gold coins, impacting their desirability in the collectible market.
