Collectible coins can include a wide range of types, but notable examples are the gold coins minted by the United States, such as the Two and a Half Dollar or Indian Head Gold Piece, often referred to as "Quarter Eagles." The 1859 issue, minted in Philadelphia, features an image of Liberty on the obverse and a distinctive design on the reverse, contributing to its desirability among collectors. These coins, made from 90% gold, hold value not only for their metal content but also for their historical significance and rarity.
