Collectible coins refer to numismatic items that are sought after by collectors due to their historical significance, rarity, and aesthetic appeal. The United States five-cent nickel, commonly known as the Liberty Head nickel, was produced from 1883 to 1912, with the 1899 issue minted in Philadelphia being particularly notable. This coin features the iconic Liberty Head design, representing freedom and independence, making it a popular choice among collectors. The term "half dime" refers to earlier silver coins valued at five cents, but Liberty Head nickels were a significant advancement in U.S. coinage.
