To my eye, the 1825 $2.50 gold piece is one of the ugliest gold coins in the U.S. set. It was one of Robert Scot's last designs. These coins had a low mintage. Therefore many of them have P-L surfaces which show every mark. PCGS CoinFacts estimateds that there are 125, 1825 quarter eagles. Despite that low number, this is the most common date for the type. In case you have not guess, if you are collecting early gold type coins, the $2.50 gold pieces are the toughest to get by far. After a lapse from 1915, the U.S. Mint System resumed issuing $2.50 gold coins in 1925. All of them were struck at the Denver Mint. This is another common date. This is my type set coin which NGC graded MS-65.
