Collectible coins include various types such as currency coins, which are legal tender, and tokens, which often serve specific purposes like advertising or utility but are not legal tender. The United States has produced a range of collectible coins, including fractional currency like the 1/2 penny, and historical tokens from events or organizations. The term "misc medallic token" refers to non-circulating pieces often commemorating events or figures, and "fantasy coinage" consists of coins that mimic official currency but are not issued by a government. An example is a fantasy token from 1863, reflecting historical significance or artistic value.
