Collectible coins refer to numismatic items valued for their rarity, historical significance, or unique features rather than their face value. The United States Mint produces various collectible coins, including commemoratives, bullion, and special issue coins, which celebrate events, people, or themes significant to American history. The Julian reference indicates a specific cataloging system for U.S. Mint medals and tokens, often denoting designer or production details. In 1959, notable U.S. Mint issues included commemorative coins celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Lincoln cent, reflecting both artistic merit and historical importance to collectors.
