Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including coins, tokens, and medals that are sought after for their historical, aesthetic, or intrinsic value. The Civil War Store Cards from Illinois, minted in 1865, are a significant category, often featuring local merchants' designs and serving as a form of currency during the war. Their rarity and connection to a pivotal historical period increase their desirability among collectors. As pieces of numismatic art, these store cards bridge the gap between everyday currency and collectible heritage.
