Collectible coins are typically categorized based on their historical significance, rarity, condition, and demand among collectors. The Two and a Half Dollar gold coins, also known as Liberty Head Quarter Eagles, were minted by the United States starting in 1796. The 1856 Liberty Gold coin from the Dahlonega Mint is particularly notable due to its limited mintage and geographical significance, as Dahlonega was one of the key sites for gold production during the 19th century. This coin features a classic design of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, making it a sought-after item among numismatists.
