Collectible coins can be categorized into various types, including currency coins, commemorative coins, and medals produced by the U.S. Mint. U.S. Mint medals, such as those designed by famed engraver John R. Sinnock, often celebrate historical events or notable figures. The year 1776 is significant in American history, marking the Declaration of Independence, and various collectibles commemorate this pivotal moment. Additionally, the Julian calendar can sometimes factor into the historical context and dating of certain coins or medals from that era.
