Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including historic, rare, and commemorative coins produced by mints. The U.S. Mint, established in 1792, produces American coins and medals that reflect the nation's history and artistry. One notable issue is the Julian medal from 1869, struck in Philadelphia, which commemorates significant events or figures in American history. Collectors often seek specific coins, such as those from particular years, mints, or designed with unique features, making the hobby both diverse and intricate.
