$2.50 Classic Head Gold, Proof
In 1834, a ribbon binding Liberty's hair, bearing the word LIBERTY, replaced the liberty cap. The motto was omitted from the reverse. In 1840 a coronet and smaller head were designed to conform with the appearance of the larger gold coins. Proof examples of these early gold coins are extremely rare and highly sought by advanced collectors.
