Collectible coins encompass various categories, including historical currency, commemorative issues, and mint medals. The United States Mint produces medals that are collectible and often commemorate significant events, individuals, or themes in American history. The Julian number system is used to catalog U.S. Mint medals, with the year 1853 marking a notable year for several coin productions and changes in minting practices. Collectors often seek specific pieces from these categories for their historical significance, artistic design, and rarity.
