Collectible coins encompass a broad range of items prized for their historical significance, artistry, or rarity rather than their face value. In the United States, collectibles can include commemorative coins, bullion coins, and vintage currency. The U.S. Mint regularly issues collectible coins featuring iconic figures, events, and designs, often appealing to both numismatists and casual collectors. Specific types, such as the American Eagle and the American Buffalo coins, are particularly sought after due to their intrinsic gold and silver content and limited mintage. The market for collectible coins can fluctuate based on demand, condition, and certification, making knowledge of grading systems essential for collectors.
