Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including commemorative coins, bullion coins, and currency coins, which are valued for their historical significance, rarity, and condition. The U.S. Mint produces a range of items, including medals that are distinct from coins, often showcasing events, individuals, or achievements. The Julian catalog references the U.S. Mint Medals, indicating official medals struck by the U.S. government, such as those produced in 1878 in Philadelphia. These items are sought after by collectors for their aesthetic appeal and historical context.
