Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items that can include historical, commemorative, and bullion pieces. The United States quarter, specifically the 25-cent coin, has various types and series, including the California Fractional Gold coins. These fractional coins, particularly those minted around 1869, were created to serve as a local currency in California during the Gold Rush, often denominated in values less than one dollar and typically minted in gold. Collectors seek these coins for their historical significance and rarity, contributing to their value in numismatic circles.
