Collectible coins encompass a wide range of types, including historical coins, coins from various countries, and specialized categories like trade tokens. Trade tokens, such as those cataloged in Rulau, were often issued by businesses in the 19th and early 20th centuries, serving as a substitution for currency in local commerce. The 1870 trade tokens represent a significant era in American economic history, with many having unknown origins or issuers that contribute to their mystique and collectible appeal. Collectors often seek out these coins for their aesthetic value, historical context, and rarity.
