Collectible coins encompass a wide range of items, including numismatic coins, which are minted for their historical significance and collectible value, and tokens, which are often issued by private entities for use in specific contexts, such as merchants or events. The United States has a rich history of collectible coinage, including both federal coins and private tokens. Hard rubber merchant tokens, such as those cataloged by Schenkman in 1895, are an interesting category, often produced in limited quantities and usually unmarked in terms of value, reflecting local commerce and culture of the time. Their unique materials and designs make them notable among collectors, particularly those focused on regional or thematic collections.
