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.

Bullion Standard out of all the companies I researched offer the best spots and prices. My only complaint is I wish I had found this company a long time ago as it would have saved me a lot of money. They offer a wide selection for all your bullion needs. Items are packed with great care and shipping is fast. I highly recommend Bullion Standard for all your bullion needs and quit getting ripped offer by the " big guys" . I also recommend enrollment in Pro for the awesome extra savings on your purchases.
Recommend this CompanyI am a great fan of Bullion Standard and have highly recommend this company for the spots and prices of all items. All items were well packed and shipping was quick. I had one issue with processing a purchase online and have been helped by customer service. Another time I paid the higher price since purchase was after hours...my lack of patience sometimes. All items I have purchased had the best prices out of dozens of companies I researched. I could not be more pleased even with a couple of bumps along the road. The quality, quantity and selection is great though if I had one request is that you offered 5 oz silver bars!!
