Collectible coins encompass various categories, including historical coins, commemorative pieces, and medals produced by the U.S. Mint. The U.S. Mint has issued a range of notable medals, including those designed by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman and significant for their artistic merit and historical context. The year 1943 is particularly recognized for the production of the steel cent, a wartime coinage issue due to copper shortages, making them an essential focus for collectors. Collectors may also pursue pieces by Julian, an authority on U.S. Mint medals, enhancing the significance of certain collectible items within the numismatic community.
