Collectible coins encompass a variety of numismatic items, including coins and tokens that hold historical, aesthetic, or intrinsic value. Hard Times Tokens, particularly those like the Rulau collectibles from 1828, originated during economic hardships in the United States, serving as a form of currency in lieu of scarce official coinage. These tokens often featured unique designs and inscriptions reflective of the social and economic context of their time. In addition to U.S. coins, the broader category of collectible coins includes various international pieces and specialized tokens that can reflect local customs, commerce, or political sentiments. The term "Other Varied" may refer to miscellaneous collectible items that do not fit into traditional classifications.
