Collectible coins encompass a wide range of items, including those minted by governments and private entities. In the United States, collectible coins often include classic issues from the pre-1776 era, which encompass private and regional coins used in trade and commerce before the establishment of the U.S. Mint. An example is the 1722 Two Pence coin, which may represent early colonial currency from England or local colonies before the formation of a unified national coinage system. Collectors often seek these items for their historical significance, rarity, and artistic value.
