Collectible coins encompass a wide range of items, including currency that holds value due to factors like rarity, historical significance, or artistic merit. In the United States, coins produced by the U.S. Mint are particularly sought after, with many collectors focusing on specific issues, such as coins from different years or mints. The U.S. Mint also produces medals, like those associated with Julian numbers, which catalog various U.S. Mint issues since the late 19th century. The year 1870 marks a time of significant coin production, including experimental and commemorative pieces that often attract collectors looking for unique items from that era.
