Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States, encompass a variety of types, including gold pieces like the American Liberty gold coins. The Two and a Half Dollar denomination, often referred to as "quarter eagles," was minted from 1796 to 1929, with notable examples from the 1840 Philadelphia mint. Coins from this era, especially in high grades or with historical significance, are highly sought after by collectors and can command substantial premiums in the market.
