Collectible coins refer to various numismatic items sought after by collectors for their historical significance, rarity, or unique features. The United States five-cent nickel, also known as the Shield Nickel, was produced starting in 1866. The Shield Nickel features a design with a shield on the obverse and elements symbolizing national unity on the reverse. The 1873 Shield Nickel, minted in Philadelphia, is particularly notable for its scarcity and is often pursued by collectors due to its historical context and design characteristics.
