Modern Commemorative Coins are a category of collectible coins in the United States that celebrate significant events, historical figures, or national achievements. The United States Mint issues these coins, often as limited-edition releases, which can enhance their appeal among collectors. In 2008, several commemorative coins were released, including those honoring the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown settlement. These coins typically come in both uncirculated and proof versions, increasing their desirability in the numismatic market. Collectors often seek to complete sets, which can include different denominations and designs.
