Collectible coins encompass a wide range of items, including currency, tokens, and medals that are valued for their rarity, age, historical significance, or artistic design. In the United States, collectible coins often include those minted for circulation as well as commemorative editions. Merchant tokens, such as those categorized by Rulau, typically emerged in the 19th century and served as substitutes for currency, often used by local businesses. The year 1840 marks a period when many such tokens were produced, reflecting the economic landscape of the time and providing insight into trade practices in the USA.
