Collectible coins include a wide range of numismatic items, often sought after for their historical significance, rarity, or intrinsic value. The 1917 Five Cents Nickel, also known as the "Buffalo Nickel," was minted in the United States during a time when the country had sovereignty over the Philippines, reflecting its colonial ties. The San Francisco Mint produced a limited number of these coins, contributing to their desirability among collectors. Additionally, the Half Dime, used before the nickel, has historical value as one of the earliest forms of U.S. currency.
