Collectible coins encompass a wide range of categories, including rare coins, historical coins, bullion coins, and tokens. In the United States, coins can represent various denominations, historical periods, and minting practices, with some, like the 1877 Indian Head cent, being particularly sought after by collectors due to their limited mintage and historical significance. Trade tokens, such as those cataloged in Rulau's works, were often used in local commerce during the 19th and early 20th centuries, serving as currency for specific businesses or communities. These tokens can offer insights into regional economies and social conditions of their time.
