Collectible coins include various denominations, types, and designs that appeal to numismatists. The United States five-cent nickel, particularly the Shield Nickel, was introduced in 1866 and produced until 1883. The 1876 Shield Nickel is noteworthy for its design featuring a shield with a floral arrangement and the date below, making it a popular choice among collectors. The term "Half Dime" refers to a silver coin that was used before the nickel was minted, further enriching the history of U.S. coinage.
