Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including historical coins, modern issues, and specialized tokens. In the context of the United States, collectible coins may include various denominations minted over time, featuring unique designs and historical significance. Trade tokens, such as those cataloged by Rulau, often served as substitutes for currency in local commerce during specific periods, notably in the 19th century. The 1879 tokens, while not commonly known, reflect the economic practices and local barter systems of their time, often featuring distinctive imagery or inscriptions linked to local businesses or events.
