Collectible coins encompass a wide range of types, including historical issues, commemorative coins, and bullion pieces. In the United States, collectible coins include the early colonial and state coinages, as well as federal issues post-1776. The Two Pence coin, while primarily associated with the UK, reflects the value and exchange systems of regional economies. Pre-1776 private and regional issues were often minted by local governments or merchants in the colonies, such as the 1723 Pine Tree Shilling, highlighting the early forms of American currency prior to formal independence.
