Collectible coins include a wide range of numismatic items, including historical currency, commemorative pieces, and rare limited editions. In the United States, two and a half dollar coins, often referred to as "quarter eagles," were minted starting in 1796. The early examples, particularly those from the 1805 era, are significant due to their limited mintage and historical context, making them highly sought after by collectors. These coins typically feature iconic designs, such as those created by renowned engravers like Robert Scott and later, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The 1805 quarter eagle, in particular, is valued for its rarity, historical importance, and the craftsmanship involved in its production.
