Collectible coins encompass a broad spectrum, including circulating currency, commemorative issues, and historical artifacts. Merchant tokens, such as those cataloged by Rulau, were often produced in the 19th century to facilitate commerce in specific retail settings and can feature various designs and inscriptions. The coinage from the United States often includes pieces minted from different metals, with some items dating back to 1859, making them of particular interest to numismatists. The appeal of these varied categories lies in their historical significance, artistic value, and potential for investment.
