Collectible coins, specifically in the context of the United States, encompass a variety of types including patterns and trial coins. The 1796 coins minted in Philadelphia are particularly notable as they represent early American numismatic history. Within this category, the Two and a Half Dollar coin (often referred to as a quarter eagle) holds significance, reflecting the evolving design and monetary practices of the era. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical value, rarity, and condition.
