Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including circulating coins, historical pieces, and specialized types. One notable type is the United States quarter, particularly the 25 cent piece, which has been minted in various designs since its introduction in 1796. The California Fractional Gold coins, minted between 1852 and the mid-1860s, represent a unique subset of collectible coins, often issued in denominations smaller than one dollar, reflecting the needs of gold miners during the California Gold Rush. The year 1853 is significant as it marks the introduction of the Seated Liberty design on U.S. quarters, while certain coins from that period can be rarer and more sought after by collectors.
