Collectible coins can encompass a wide range of categories, including historical coins, commemorative issues, and bullion. In the United States, examples like the Monitor and Merimac coins, which commemorate the famous Civil War ironclad battle, highlight niche interests within numismatics. The Shenkman series, renowned for its artistic designs, often features coins from significant years such as 1862. The market for these coins can be influenced by factors like rarity, condition, historical significance, and demand among collectors, leading to various valuations and collectibility.
