Collectible coins are numismatic items that hold value due to their rarity, demand, historic significance, and condition. In the context of the United States, specific denominations such as the Two and a Half Dollar coins, also known as quarter eagles, are of considerable interest. The 1796 coinage includes notable examples, particularly patterns and trial coins, which were struck in limited quantities for testing new designs or production techniques before general circulation. These items are highly sought after by collectors for their unique attributes and place in American numismatic history.
