Collectible coins encompass a range of numismatic items valued for their rarity, historical significance, and condition. In the United States, the five-cent nickel has evolved from earlier coinage to include various designs, with the Capped Bust Half Dime being a notable example. Minted from 1829 to 1837, the Capped Bust Half Dime features a representation of Liberty wearing a cap and is sought after by collectors, particularly the 1796 issue, which marks the earliest date of the denomination and is highly prized due to its limited mintage and historical context.
