The Capped Bust Gold Two and a Half Dollar coin, also known as the quarter eagle, was minted in the United States from 1808 to 1834. The 1808 edition, produced in Philadelphia, is particularly significant as it was the only year for the type featuring the Capped Bust design, characterized by its distinctive bust and flowing hair on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. This coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and historical importance in American numismatics.
