Collectible coins represent a niche within numismatics where specific types, such as the five-cent nickel and Draped Bust half cents, hold significant value for collectors. The five-cent nickel, first minted in 1866, is notable for its iconic designs and historical significance in American currency. The Draped Bust half cent, introduced in 1796 and produced until 1808, features a design that reflects the artistic trends of its time, with the 1801 issue particularly sought after due to its limited mintage and historical context. Collectors value these coins for their rarity, design, and connection to early American history.
