Collection: Quarter Eagle

The $2.5 Quarter Eagle, one of America’s first gold coins, was minted from 1796 to 1929. Authorized by the Mint Act of 1792, this denomination reflects pivotal moments in U.S. numismatics. Introduced during the early years of the Republic, it embodies rarity, artistry, and history, making it a cornerstone for collectors. 

Key Types and Designs 

1. Draped Bust (1796–1807): Rare and highly sought after, the 1796 No Stars design is one of the most coveted U.S. type coins, with fewer than 1,000 minted. 
2. Capped Bust (1808–1834): Featuring John Reich’s designs, this era includes the iconic 1808 one-year issue and later coins with smaller diameters. 
3. Classic Head (1834–1839): Redesigned to reduce gold content, these coins include branch mint issues from Charlotte, Dahlonega, and New Orleans. 
4. Liberty Head (1840–1907): Christian Gobrecht’s design boasts the longest-running coin design in U.S. history, featuring rare dates like the 1841 and branch mint coins. 
5. Indian Head (1908–1929): Bela Lyon Pratt’s incuse design was revolutionary. Notable rarities include the 1911-D, prized by collectors for its low mintage.
