Collectible coins are categorized by their historical significance, rarity, and demand among enthusiasts. In the United States, the five-cent nickel, also known as the Buffalo Nickel, was minted from 1913 to 1938 and features an iconic image of a Native American on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse. The 1930 Buffalo Nickel, particularly those minted in Philadelphia, is sought after by collectors due to its relatively low mintage and distinctive design. The half dime, a coin denomination that existed before the introduction of the nickel, is another example of a collectible coin with historical value.
