Collectible coins are numismatic items that hold value due to their rarity, historical significance, or condition. The United States has issued various collectible coins, including the Two and a Half Dollar (often referred to as a quarter eagle) featuring designs such as the American Liberty Gold. Coins minted in 1859 at the San Francisco Mint are particularly sought after by collectors, as they represent an important era in American coinage and can exhibit unique characteristics influenced by the minting process and historical context.
