Collectible coins, also known as numismatic coins, include a wide range of items that hold value due to their rarity, historical significance, and condition. The United States has produced numerous collectible coins, including the $2.50 Draped Bust Gold coins minted in 1798 in Philadelphia. These coins are part of the early American gold series and are distinguished by their intricate designs, which feature a representation of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The $2.50 denomination, commonly referred to as "two and a half dollars," was part of the U.S. monetary system and is sought after by collectors due to its age and limited mintage.
