Collectible coins, particularly in the United States, include various denominations and series with historical significance. The 5-cent nickel, known as the Shield Nickel, was first minted in 1866 and was produced until 1883, featuring an iconic design of a shield. The 1877 Shield Nickel, minted in Philadelphia, is notable among collectors for its rarity and condition. Additionally, the term "Half Dime" historically referred to a 5-cent silver coin produced before the nickel was introduced. Collectors often seek these coins for their numismatic value, historical context, and minting details.
