Collectible coins, often sought after by numismatists, can span a wide range of types, from currency to commemoratives. The United States five-cent nickel, known as the Shield Nickel, was first minted in 1866 and is recognized for its distinct design featuring a shield on the obverse. The 1883 Shield Nickel, produced in Philadelphia, is notable for its historical context and varying conditions, leading to different values among collectors. The term "half dime" typically refers to earlier denominations of five-cent coins, and while the Shield Nickel is not a half dime, it represents a significant evolution in U.S. coinage.
