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.
