Collectible coins can be categorized into various types, including gold, silver, and historical issues. The United States has a rich numismatic history, with the $2.50 Liberty Gold coin, also known as the Quarter Eagle, minted from 1840 to 1907. The 1848 Charlotte Mint issue, marked by its "C" mintmark, is particularly significant, as it was produced during the California Gold Rush and is highly sought after by collectors for its rarity and historical context. Collectors often seek out coins like these for their aesthetic qualities, historical value, and potential investment returns.
