Collectible coins encompass a wide range of items sought after for historical value, rarity, and artistic design. The United States has produced various notable coins, including the Two and a Half Dollar gold piece, also known as the Quarter Eagle, which was minted from 1796 to 1929. The American Liberty Gold coin series features intricate designs symbolizing freedom and democracy. One significant example is the 1856 Two and a Half Dollar coin minted in New Orleans, which carries both numismatic and historical value due to its lower mintage and the unique characteristics of the New Orleans Mint during that period.
