Collectible coins include various denominations and designs, with a notable example being the Seated Liberty Half Dime, which was minted from 1837 to 1891. The 1839 Seated Liberty Half Dime features a design by Christian Gobrecht, showcasing Lady Liberty seated and holding a shield and a liberty cap. The five-cent nickel coin, introduced in the late 1800s, and the earlier Half Dimes represent significant historical transitions in U.S. coinage, reflecting changes in material composition and design aesthetics. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical value and rarity, particularly in high-grade condition.
