Collectible coins refer to numismatic items that are valued for their rarity, historical significance, or artistic design, rather than purely their face value. In the United States, collectible coins can include a variety of types such as commemorative coins, bullion coins, and vintage currency. Among notable collectibles are Merriam Medals, which were struck in 1861 and are recognized for their distinctive design and historical context. These medals often appeal to collectors interested in American history and the evolution of coinage during the Civil War era.
