President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the collection and melting of all gold coins in circulation starting in 1933. The effort was designed to bolster American reserves in the face of the economic turmoil of the Great Depression. Surviving coins, like these Pre-1933 $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagles, are extremely rare and limited in supply.

The obverse features the original heraldic eagle. With a shield on its chest, the eagle holds arrows and an olive branch in its talons. “United States of America” is engraved around it, with the face value inscribed below as “2 ½ D.” Christian Gobrect designed the images on each side of the coin.

The United States Mint produced these coins at its Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Charlotte, and Dahlonega Mints. These coins are available in brilliant uncirculated condition, with no trace of wear. There is a possibility the coins will show contact marks, spotted surfaces, or breaks in luster.
