Collectible coins, particularly Silver Commemoratives, are special issue coins that commemorate specific events, persons, or anniversaries. The United States Mint began producing these coins in 1892. An example includes the 50-cent coins minted in Philadelphia, which featured historical themes and were intended to promote collecting among the public. Silver Commemorative coins are made of 90% silver and are sought after for their numismatic value as well as their historical significance.
