Collectible coins are often categorized based on various factors including type, mintage, condition, and historical significance. The United States five-cent coin, commonly referred to as the nickel, has a rich variety of designs, including the Buffalo nickel, which was minted from 1913 to 1938. The 1934 Denver mintmark indicates that this particular nickel was produced in Denver, Colorado, and is sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades. The half dime, a denomination that predates the nickel, was minted from 1792 until 1873, and features designs that vary significantly across its production years.
