Collectible coins encompass a variety of numismatic items, including federal currency, tokens, and commemorative pieces. Tokens, often issued by private entities, serve specific purposes such as advertising or representing a value in trade. The United States Three Cents coin, introduced in 1851, was minted in both silver and nickel, with notable issues like the 1864 Philadelphia minting. Feuchtwanger tokens, created by German immigrant and engraver A. Feuchtwanger, were produced in the 19th century, intended as a substitute currency during shortages. The 1864 tokens are particularly recognized for their historical significance and intricate designs.
