Collectible coins, such as the 5-cent nickel and the half dime, represent iconic examples of numismatic history in the United States. The nickel, first minted in 1866, features varying designs and compositions and remains popular among collectors. The half dime, minted until 1873, was a silver coin that played a crucial role in American currency. Notably, the 1913 nickel is extremely rare and sought after, known for its unique design and limited mintage. The Philippines, under U.S. sovereignty from 1898 to 1946, also produced coins that reflect this colonial influence, including distinct series featuring American symbols. The Philadelphia Mint serves as a historic site for coin production, contributing significantly to the numismatic landscape.
