The Capped Bust gold coins were minted in the United States from 1807 to 1834, featuring a design by John Reich. The Two and a Half Dollar denomination, often referred to as the "quarter eagle," contains 2.5 grams of gold. The 1808 Capped Bust Gold $2.50 is particularly significant due to its limited mintage and historical context, making it a highly sought-after collectible among numismatists. Its value is influenced by factors such as condition, rarity, and market demand.
