coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Shield Nickels \ 1879
Collectible coins, particularly from the United States, include a variety of denominations and designs that hold historical and numismatic value. The five-cent nickel, commonly known as the Shield Nickel, was introduced in 1866 and continued until 1883. The 1879 Shield Nickel features a design of a shield on the obverse, reflecting themes of protection and unity. Half dimes, which were produced prior to the switch to the nickel, represent an important transition in U.S. coinage, with the Shield Nickel serving as a popular collectible among numismatists.
