Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including numismatic items such as the Capped Bust Half Dime, which was minted in the United States from 1829 to 1837. The half dime was valued at five cents and played a critical role in early American coinage, with its production beginning shortly after the Coinage Act of 1792 established the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. The Capped Bust design, created by engraver William Kneass, features a profile of Liberty wearing a capped design, making it a sought-after piece among numismatists. Collectors often seek these coins based on rarity, historical significance, and condition.
