Collectible coins refer to various types of coins that are valued for their rarity, historical significance, or artistic merit rather than their face value. In the context of the United States, examples include the $2.50 Liberty Gold coin, minted from 1849 to 1907, which features the iconic Liberty design and is composed of 90% gold. The Charlotte Mint, one of the branches of the U.S. Mint, produced a limited number of these coins during the California gold rush, increasing their desirability among collectors.
