• New Design - Evidently, Gobrecht felt that Lady Liberty needed a little sprucing up. On the obverse, she appears over the date with a new, shorter hairdo, a beaded tie at the back and her name inscribed on her coronet. • A Bold Eagle Reverse - The beautiful eagle clutches arrows over the denomination, surrounded by "United States of America." The earliest specimen of the coin was affectionately dubbed "The Little Princess" and she went on to become one of the longest-lived coins in American history. This design was essentially unchanged for 68 years, until 1908. • Struck at Five U.S. Mints - In the early years, the coin was issued from five U.S. mints. Dahlonega and Charlotte both discontinued in 1861 when they fell into the hands of the Southern Confederacy. After 1879, all Coronet coins were issued from Philadelphia but relatively few were circulated. Most were stored in banks and the Treasury and later melted down when gold was recalled in 1933. These $2 ½ Liberty coins are a great opportunity to collect in mint condition. All coins offered below are certified authentic and graded by PCGS or NGC. |
