Collectible coins, particularly U.S. coins, encompass various types and denominations, including the Two and a Half Dollar, commonly referred to as the "quarter eagle." First minted in the early 19th century, the 2.50-dollar coins were introduced in 1796, with the 1797 date marking one of the early issues. These coins are sought after for their historical significance, craftsmanship, and relative rarity. Early examples, particularly those in good condition, are highly valued by collectors due to their limited mintage and the demand among coin enthusiasts.
