1834 $2.50 Gold Classic Head AU Details NGC
In 1834, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 112,234 gold quarter eagles, representing a total face value of 2.50 dollars. This particular issue belongs to the Classic Head Eagle series, a design era that captures a distinct aesthetic in early United States coinage. Struck without a mint mark, these pieces represent the craftsmanship of the primary federal minting facility during a transformative decade in American history. Fashioned from 0.8992 fine gold, the coin contains 0.1209 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features a classic representation of Liberty, accompanied by the legible inscription of her name and the 1834 date. This certified specimen, preserved in About Uncirculated details, offers a tangible look at the engraving style and metallic composition of the pre-1933 era.
