Collectible coins encompass a variety of types that can include historical, commemorative, and rare coins. The United States has a rich numismatic history, with many collectors focusing on coins issued by the U.S. Mint, such as the Morgan dollar and the American Silver Eagle. The Sommer Islands, known today as Bermuda, issued tangible currency as early as 1616, which includes interesting collectibles like the 6P coin, a unit of currency from that period. Collectors often seek coins based on rarity, historical significance, condition, and demand within the numismatic community.
