– SOLDBy 1825 the nation was settling in as a force on the world stage. John Quincy Adams was President and settled scores dating back to the War of 1812, the Napoleonic Wars and the Treaty of Ghent.
Few coins can encapsulate this era in a way that this extraordinary 1825 Capped Bust $2.50 in spectacular MS66 condition graded by NGC.
This coin, with its Capped Bust design, stands as a testament to the early days of the United States Mint and the enduring appeal of American gold coinage.
The year 1825 was a time when the United States was still establishing its identity on the global stage. The $2.50 gold piece, or Quarter Eagle, was one of the key denominations in circulation, designed by John Reich and featuring Liberty with a draped bust on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. This design, introduced in 1808, continued until 1834, making the 1825 issue part of a significant series in American coinage history.
