Product Details

The Classic Head Quarter Eagle, struck during a pivotal era of American coinage, represents a fascinating chapter in U.S. Mint history. Crafted between 1834 and 1839, this small yet impactful $2.5 gold piece draws attention for its historical significance and artistic merit. Each piece – selected from random years within this range and certified as About Uncirculated – offers collectors and investors a tangible connection to the early 19th century, a period characterized by rapid economic and territorial expansion in the United States.

This particular gold coin is instantly recognizable by its distinctive design, portraying Liberty on the obverse donning a traditional Greek-style cap, an emblem of freedom and classical antiquity. This profile, designed by William Kneass, was an innovative departure from prior, more primitive depictions of Liberty. The reverse showcases an American eagle adorned with a robust shield, clutching an olive branch and a trio of arrows, symbolizing the nation’s commitment to peace and readiness for conflict. Each coin is a testament not only to its precious metal content but also to the profound artistry and technical mastery of its time.

The Classic Head Quarter Eagle is composed of .9167 fine gold, providing both collectors and investors with a tangible piece of American heritage struck from one of history's most coveted metals. Its high-grade condition, highlighted as About Uncirculated, ensures each coin maintains much of its original luster and detailed engraving, crucial for preserving its aesthetic and historical value. As a U.S. Mint issue, its authenticity and quality are indubitable, offering reliability sought by numismatists and savvy investors alike.

Gold, recognized globally for its intrinsic value, rarity, and industrial applications, establishes these coins as sound investments within any precious metals portfolio. The unique attributes and limited mintage of the Classic Head series augment its appeal, creating a perfect storm of desirability for those seeking both aesthetic pleasure and financial security.
