Collectible coins are meticulously struck pieces of metal, often made from precious materials such as gold, silver, or platinum, and are sought after for their historical significance, rarity, and artistic value. In the United States, coins bearing the "P" mint mark indicate production at the Philadelphia Mint, one of the oldest mints in the country. Collectors often value coins based on their condition, demand, mintage numbers, and any unique features they may possess, such as errors or limited-edition releases. Notable collectible types include commemorative coins, proof coins, and bullion coins, each with distinct market appeal.
