Collectible coins refer to coins that are valued for their rarity, historical significance, or unique features rather than their face value. In the United States, collectible coins include varieties such as the gold and silver bullion coins, commemorative coins, and coins minted with errors. The P12 designation typically refers to a specific cataloging system for collectible items, indicating a particular type or series. The 1/2 cent coin, commonly referred to as the 2c piece, was produced in various years and is of interest to collectors due to its limited mintage and historical context in U.S. coinage.
