Early $2-1/2 Gold Basic Set, Circulation Strikes (1796-1839)

This challenging and historic set is chock full of rarities! It includes the first $2½ gold piece (the 1796 No Stars), the other rare issue from the first year (the 1796 Stars), the rare 1797, the ultra-rare 1834 Capped Bust and the first Charlotte, Dahlonega and New Orleans quarter eagles. This set may be called "basic," but even completing 50% of the set will be a numismatic triumph for any collector.
