Collectible coins, also known as numismatic coins, are coins valued for their rarity, historical significance, or aesthetic appeal rather than their face value. The Two and a Half Dollar coin, commonly referred to as the quarter eagle, was produced by the United States Mint and features various designs, including the Liberty Head design introduced in 1840. The 1879 Liberty Gold coin, minted in San Francisco, is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and the historical context of its production during the gold standard era in the USA. Collectors often seek out these coins for their investment potential and cultural significance in American history.
