Collectible coins are numismatic items that hold value beyond their face value due to factors such as rarity, historical significance, and demand among collectors. The United States 5-cent nickel and half dime are examples of denominations that have been produced in various designs over the years. One notable collectible is the Seated Liberty half dime, minted in the 19th century, with the 1871 San Francisco edition being particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and distinctive features. These coins are often valued for their condition, strike quality, and provenance, making them significant pieces for both investors and enthusiasts in the numismatic community.
