Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States, encompass various types and denominations. The five cents nickel, known as the Shield Nickel, was produced from 1866 to 1883 and features a distinctive shield design on the obverse. The 1872 Shield Nickel was minted in Philadelphia and is a notable example within this category. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance, design characteristics, and rarity, particularly in different grades of preservation.
