The Two and a Half Dollar coin, also known as the Capped Bust Gold, was minted in the United States from 1808 to 1834. The 1824 Philadelphia minting is a notable example of this type, featuring a profile of Lady Liberty with a bust cap. This gold coin contains approximately 2.5 grams of gold and serves as an important collectible for numismatists due to its historical significance and design. The Capped Bust series is highly sought after, especially in higher grades, due to its artistic merit and limited mintage.
