Collectible coins, often referred to as numismatic coins, can vary widely in type, age, and value. In the United States, one notable example is the Two and a Half Dollar coin, also known as the Quarter Eagle, which features various designs across different years. The 1869 American Liberty Gold piece struck in Philadelphia is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and gold content. The design often showcases Lady Liberty, embodying the ideals of freedom and democracy central to the United States. Collectors value such coins for their rarity, condition, and historical context within American coinage.
