Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including ancient coins, modern commemoratives, and bullion. In the United States, collectible coins can be categorized into various types, such as quarters, dimes, dollars, and specially minted commemorative issues that celebrate historical events or figures. Factors influencing their value include rarity, condition (graded using the Sheldon Scale), demand, and historical significance. Additionally, coin collecting can involve specific themes, such as state coins, historical periods, or notable mint errors. The market for these collectibles is dynamic, with auctions and coin shows playing essential roles in buying and selling.
