The Two and a Half Dollar coin, also known as the Quarter Eagle, is a denomination of U.S. gold coins minted from 1796 to 1933. The 1848 issue features the design by engraver Christian Gobrecht, showcasing Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. These coins were made from 90% gold and are highly sought after by collectors, particularly due to their historical significance and the emergence of the California Gold Rush in the same year that contributed to their rarity. American Liberty gold coins exemplify the early American minting period and reflect the nation's economic history.
