Collectible coins encompass a wide range of items valued for their historical significance, rarity, and condition. In the United States, collectible coins include various denominations, commemoratives, and special issues produced by the U.S. Mint. The U.S. Mint also produces medals, such as those issued under the Julian catalog for notable historical events and figures. An example from this category is the U.S. Mint Medal honoring the year 1856, which is often sought after by collectors for its unique design and historical context.
