Collectible coins are often categorized by their type, historical significance, rarity, and condition. The $2.50 Liberty Gold coin, also known as the Quarter Eagle, was minted in the United States from 1840 to 1907. The 1851 version, produced at the Dahlonega Mint in Georgia, is particularly notable due to the mint's limited production runs and geographical significance, making it a sought-after piece for collectors. The obverse features a classic Liberty head design, while the reverse displays an eagle, emblematic of early American coinage.
