Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including commemorative coins, bullion coins, and historical pieces. The Braided Hair Cents, produced by the United States Mint, were minted from 1840 to 1857, with 1847 being a notable year for their production in Philadelphia. The five-dollar coins represent a segment of higher denominated currency often sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity. Collectors value these coins for their aesthetic design, historical context, and potential for appreciation in value.
