Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, valued for their rarity, historical significance, and condition. In the United States, the five cents nickel emerged in the 1860s, while the half dime, a silver coin, was produced from the late 1700s until the mid-1800s. The Capped Bust Half Dime, minted from 1829 to 1837, features a distinctive design by engraver William Kneass. The 1794 date is particularly notable in numismatics, as it refers to one of the earliest years of coinage production in the U.S., contributing to its desirability among collectors.
