Greysheet & CPG® PRICE GUIDE

About This Series

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the $2.50 Liberty Gold (1840–1907) series of Pre-1933 Gold Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 189 distinct entries with CPG® values between $575.00 and $1,080,000.00.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the so-called Liberty head design was widely adopted for gold coinage starting in 1840 for the quarter-eagle ($2.50) denomination. Weighing in at .12 ounces (4.18 grams) and 90% purity, these coins were well circulated and struck at numerous mints including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Charlotte, Dahlonega, Denver, and San Francisco.

Greysheet Catalog Details

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the $2.50 Liberty Gold (1840–1907) series of Pre-1933 Gold Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 189 distinct entries with CPG® values between $575.00 and $1,080,000.00.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the so-called Liberty head design was widely adopted for gold coinage starting in 1840 for the quarter-eagle ($2.50) denomination. Weighing in at .12 ounces (4.18 grams) and 90% purity, these coins were well circulated and struck at numerous mints including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Charlotte, Dahlonega, Denver, and San Francisco.
