Collectible coins, particularly in the United States, are often classified into different types based on denomination, minting quality, and historical significance. The 1 cent (1c) and 50 cent (50c) coins are popular among collectors, with specific interest in rare issues and limited mintages. Proof sets, such as those from 1936, are highly sought after for their superior finish and limited release, making them desirable for both numismatists and investors. These sets often include a variety of denominations struck in high relief with a mirror-like surface, enhancing their appeal.
