Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including historical pieces, error coins, and those with limited mintage. The five cents nickel, commonly referred to as the "nickel," has been produced since the 19th century, while the half dime was in circulation prior to the introduction of the nickel. The Seated Liberty Half Dime, minted from 1837 to 1873, features the iconic Seated Liberty design and is valued by collectors for its historical and artistic significance. The 1857 Seated Liberty Half Dime minted in Philadelphia is particularly noteworthy, as it represents a transitional period in U.S. coinage.
