Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States, include various denominations such as the Two and a Half Dollar (commonly referred to as the "quarter eagle"). The first issues of this denomination were struck in 1796 at the Philadelphia Mint. Early examples of the 2.50 coin can be highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance, limited mintage, and unique designs that reflect the era in which they were produced. Collectors often focus on key dates, mintmarks, and overall coin condition when evaluating these items.
